RETRENCHMENT IS BEGUN Freighter FloeU to Be Cut Down in AH Harbors, Says Member of Stripping Board. SEATTLE,' Wash., Sept. 9. (Spe cial.) Positive assurance that all Pa cific coast ports will receive a square deal in the .shipping board's great re trenchment and readjustment pro gramme were given Thursday by Meyer Lissner, member of the board. on his arrival from Washington. D. C. He also said that, according to his understanding, retrenchment on the Pacific will be confirmed to the board's fleet of freighters and will not affect the rtans-Paeifie passenger services established by the big SS.BOO,. 000 liners from Seattle aJid San Fran cisco. In carrying out .the retrenchment made necessary by heavy operating losses and by the size of the appro priation received from congress. Liss ner said: Freighter Fleets to Be Cut,, "The freighter fleets are to be cut' down in all ports. Probably, when the board completes the cutting down, half of our freighters will be tied up. "It is going to "take some little time' to find out just where we are at1 financially; In the meanwhile our ex penses are being constantly pared down. "At the same time we are cutting' down rapidly as may be the terrific; operating losses suffered under the so-called M. O. 4 (managing oper- i ators agreement which may have I been all right 4n Its day, -but has long j since outlived its usefulness for most j of the fleet. niaapfMiintmrnt Is Forecast. "It in inevitable that in discontfnu ing certain services heretofore con ducted under this form of agreement whereunder the managing operator secures a commission on gross collec tione whether or not there Is a profit. there will be considerable .disappoint ment in many ports and among many operators. "As soon as practicable we propose to change to a bare boat charter basis under which the operator pays a net rental for the use of the vessel, takes all the profits and stands all the losses himself. This may result tem porarily in tying up a great portion of the fleet, but that cannot be avoided. With the return of normal conditions there will be use for hun dreds of ships temporarily laid up. It is the hope of the board, under the dynamic genius of Chairman Lacker, within a reasonable time to trans form a reat national liability into a great national asset. BIG SHORTAGE REPORTED MR.
