PRESENT BILL IS URGED Itrsult Kiptcttd to Be Furnish ing of More Labor in Amer ican Marine Yards. BY T. V. O COXXOR. Ice-Charrmaa of tha Cnited States Ship ping Board. RiprtMDtmi the threat Lailea Section. It Is pusiiing to m that repre sentatives of organised labor In this country should hesitate for one mo ment to support the hlp subsidy bill. I served as president of the International Longshoremen's asso ciation for many years, and have been a union man practically all my life, therefore I feel that I can speak from experience and with full appreciation of the workers' view point. A ship subsidy bill which Is go ing to furnish more chips and fur bish more work to men building ships and repairing ships and man ning the chips certainly ought to be more thoroughly considered and more fully discussed from the labor ing man's standpoint than appears to hare been done with reference to the 'pending legislation. It is Impossible properly to consider this legislation without giving due re gard to Its effect upon American labor In the furnishing of mora work and better wages In keeping with the high atandard of liring. More Mark Cenala. The ship cubslay bill win nat urally increase American tonnage, and as fast as this is dune more work will be supplied to the ship yard workers in all departments, to the metal trade workers, carpen ters, painter, boiler makers ana others, and as ships are complet ed and put Into service It natural ly follows that additional men will be required to man them and keep them in repair. iMany reasons have been advanced why we should have a ship subsidy. I should like to present the prevail ing viewpoint of the marine and waterfront workers. We have been doing as much as possible along the line of Americanising American ships without a ship subsidy; but we must make It obligatory on pn vats owners under the proposed leg islation to carry a large percentage of Americans in - their crews, not alone because we want a real Amer ican merchant marine for purposes of trade, but also as a matter of protection, in order that the ships may be available as naval auxili aries. Aaserleaa Seasaea Repaired. The merchant marine bill in gen eral provides that no vessel shall be entitled to direct aid unless its arevr for the first year shall be BO per cent American citizens aside from the officers, who must be loo per cent American citizens. The remainder must be eligible to cit izenship, thus barring Asiatics. Aft er the third year the percentage is raised to 2-3 per cent American citizens This applies in all depart ments, except the stewards on pas senger vessels. I Joined in recommending to the president the plan reflected in the pending chipping bill because it rep resented the result of most compre hensive and careful study by the best expert opinion and authorities, ami because it meana the doing of a thing which congress had already decreed In the Jones act should be done in a different form, although for good reasons Impracticable of application. The only question Is then, will the plan presented pro vide the necessary substantial aid with tne minimum cost from na tional funds to guarantee a mer chant marine and its availability In a war emergency? I believe it will, Plaa Believed Wasted. Moreover. I believe the American people would never aanction the re tirement of the shipping board as an operator of a portion of the mer- chant marine until they have been assured that there Is set up a cer tain and more feasible plan such as is proposed In this bill. I am. of course, looking at this question from the broad national standpoint, but I cannot overlook its affect upon the welfare of American marine labor as against foreign la bor. Our labor, no doubt, already realizes that in making possible an American merchant marine and In creasing the de-mad for American tonnage, we are furnishing greater employment tor American seamen Not only will it Increase the need for American seamen, but it will bring about the employment of Americans where now foreigners are employed. T. S. Labor Faveree. Tha plan Is especially designed e preserve to American labor that higher standard of living which cus tom lias well established, realizing that marine labor has remained so long unprotected, notwithstanding other American labor Is so protect ed from foreign competition. - It Is certain that any policy which vio lates the principle of higher Amer ican wages to meet the higher stand ard of living would not long en dure as a meana of holding Ameri cans to the sea. and this in my opin ion la a prerequisite to the success of our merchant marine Our shipa to b efficient must be American manned. American marine wages at pres ent, however, are too low and out of balance with other American wages. The same differential be tween American and foreign marine wages must exist as does exist be - tween American and foreign wages In other Industries. We should not be Influenced by the comparison of marine labor rates drawn in the present abnormal situation, which is due entirely to the present In dustrial depression in this country. The present abnormally low wages on American ships will not continue, cr else our ships wi;l be manned by foreigners and cot Americans I . . 9aadarda Higher. The higher standard of living la this country, and I might say the higher cost of living, is generally well understood. We know that when business picks up the Amer ican seamen will be attracted to other Industries, and this condition can be met only by assiatinc the ship owner to the extent that he will be enabled to pay the higher American wage upon his ship. I should recommend most earnest, ly. therefore, that as recarda the factor of American and foreign wage differentials, you view It from the permanent standpoint of what ought to be. and necessarily must be. rather than what is the pres ent condition- that is to say. to keep In mind the principle that we should provide an American wage for American seamen Instead of the present competitive wage scales. The result will be to Increase the j eiiiiieiii? 01 our American sill l" a well as a direct benefit to labor by furnishing dignified employment. NEW RATE BALKS SHIPPERS Effect Expected to Be Overcome When Market Are Steadier. In the opinion of M. D. Keeney. president of the National Commer cial corporation, of Seattle, the ap parent disinclination of shippers to book cereal consignments for the orient at I or take space for lum ber at $1!. which are the new rates recently fixed by trans-Pacific line In unison with the shipping board, will bo overcome as market condi tions are steadied. He was In the city yesterday in connection with cargo space available on two ves sels the corporation has In hand. A marked drop In the oriental rice market reported the last of the week will be followed by a revival J 1) J y T. V. OTtixr, vlee-cbalrsna I sited States shipping beard. and in another 30 days., he believes, the market will be more stable than at the time of the drop. He points out that rice market caprices are as Influential on oriental financial con ditlons as the effect of wheat mar ket fluctuations are In America, and regards the price ss a most depend able barometer of far eastern trade. Relative to the new rates, which are an increase of from $4 on grain at present, though i was fixed on grain for October, and from 110 to til as the lumber rste base, he says there is a feeling that the advance would have met with ready accept ance had it been gradual, but even with premiums being paid for August and September space the rise amounts to more than II on cereals. , .

ASTORIA Or.. Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) The trials of the masters and crews of the purse seining craft Sanslgot and Lemes. which were seized last Wednesday by the fish erles patrol boat Phoenix on a charge of fishing within the three mile limit off the Washington coast, were held at Ilwaco last night. The master of each craft was fined $100 and the boats were held for confiscation. The charges against the other members of the crews were dismissed. The trial of the master and crew of the launch Kalrplay. arrested at the same time, and on a similar charge, was set for hearing on Monday. August XI. Although the court was in session until after 12 o'clock last night, tha hearing of the two cases against the purse seining craft Louis III and the chargea against 11 other vessels of the "black" fleet for ille gal fishing could not be reached and the trials were continued until some future date, not definitely set.

ER MOVE EAST IS 1922 Shipments to Be Hal -Billion Feet. NEW YORK DEALER HERE R. R. Slier Jr. Predicts Demand for Western Grades Wilt Continue to Increase. Pacific coast shipments of fir, hemlock and spruce lumber to th Atlantic coast market during 1922 will perhaps reach 500.000.000 or bOO.000.000 feet. In the opinion or . R. Slier Jr., of the firm of Bobert R. Slier & Co.. New Tork lumber merchants, who is in the city. The movement In 121 reached 211.404.000 feet, according to official tabula tions, while in 1920 the shipments aggregated 4a, 000.000 feet. Mr. Slier leaves tonight for the Puget sound country to look over sawmill properties and gain a first hand Insight Into manufacturing and shipping as his limited time affords. He was In conference yesterday with E. H. Meyer. Portland manager of the Charleei R. McCormick interests. through whom about nine-tenths of the western lumber handled by the Slier organisation Is purchased. Ths estimate Mr. Siser places on the probable total shipments for 1921 includes material for railroad and general Industrial projects, which might be ordered direct, as well as the stocks that are dis charged at yards. He said the In dlcations were that a material In crease would follow In the use of western grades, which were at pres ent In active demand for general construction puieposes. The McCor mlck interests credit the Sixer or ganisation with having developed much of the call for their lumber as well as having backed Its Introduc tion In the New Tork territory. Philadelphia Is drawing consider able lumber from here as well. The Isthmian line steamer Mobile City, sailing Friday, had aboard 1.300.000 feet for the McCormick account while other cargoe supplied by them Includes 1. 000. 000 feet that goes out tomorrow aboard the steamer Steel Ranger. 2.500.000 feet that is to be loaded on the river aboard the steamer Santa Rosa, starting Tues day. 1.600.000 feet on the steamer Chattanooga City, due August 25. and about 2.500.000 feet on tne -y-gama. which begins loading on Grays harbor tomorrow. Space res ervations have been made on other vessels for September loading. Some lntercoaatal lines report being booked on lumber space up to the beginning of 1923. DEMAND FOR. OIIj GROWING Railroad Company Buys Liquid Fuel for Knglnes. Resumption of oil-burning on loco motives of the o.-w. n. ac com- ny. which was determined on be cause of the coal strike, has led to the purchase of a part cargo of fuel ell, which arrived from San Pedro late last night aboard the steamer J. A Moffett of the Standard Oil com pany's fleet. It will be discharged today into the company s tank at Terminal No. 4. The consignment amounts to about 30.000 barrels. In addition the Moffett has more fuel oil to pump into the tanks of the Portland Gas company and a supply ar well for the Standard station. The 0.-W. R. & N. tank at Termi ni No. 4 waa utillxed for fuel stor- sge when the use of oil was general on the road, but with the return to coal as fuel the tank was drained. The commission of public docks leased the tank so as to be prepared to store oils. At a meeting of the deck commission last week It was r,de known that the O.-W. R. & N. company contemplated storing fuel oil again and it was arranged that the tank be turned back. However, the dock commission stipulated that after fuel conditions were normal and in the event oil was discarded again on locomotives, the tank be irgarded as under lease to tne com mission. The tank has a capacity of 65.- 000 barrels and with a pipe outlet at Pier No. S tank steamers can berth there and discharge. Bes'des the coal strike and the possible shortage that might follow the re cent drop in fuel oil prices is held to be another Incentive for install ing oil burners again in locomotives. In the last two weeks oil prices fell 51' cents a barrel, and as that means a saving of approximately 6U(io on a round voyage for each of the ships ct-gaged In the Portland-Oriental trade, it decreases the margin be tween coal and oil for railroad pur poses materially as well.

MotorshiD enthusiasts have been .afforded opportunity to look over .v o.i-, --iv. -ir -i,,. from Europe, during the last week and to compare her with some of tile dther modern carriers of the came type, such as the Loch Katrine of the Royal Mall fleet, the Dlnteldyk of the Holland-America line, andi the Californlan of the American-Hawaiian line, all of which have been here on maiden voyages during' the last few months. The Tngaren Is an exception In that she Is a single-screw ship and takes a rating in that respect of be ing the largest of the class afloat. She was constructed and englned by William Doxford & Son of Sun derland, and is powered with a 3000 horsepower four-cylinder motor of the opposed piston, solid injection, Doxford-Junkers type. Data gathered by the owners of the Tngaren on her maiden voyage, especially as compared with the work of a steamer in the same trade. present an interesting study. With reference to that the Pacific Marine Review, in its last Issue, says: The figures for the maiden voyage of the Yngaren cover the trip from -Ham burg via English ports to Batavia, re turning via Australian ports to Dunkirk. The interestifig comparison is with the' Aute-n. a steamer with a sister hull to the motorshlp Yvig&ren, and with i 3ixt0 indicated horsepower triple ex paneion engine. The Anton Is designed to burn either coal or oil and on this voyage, for '25 days runntna; out, one boiler was using oil and the other two were working on coal on the run from Panama to Wellington, consuming 9Mi ton of oil and 30 tons of coal per 24 hours. If the 9tt tons of fuel oil had been burned inside of the motor of the Yngaren they would hav produced more horsepower thaai was produced by this oil and the SO tons of coal under tne boilers of the Auten. To make the voyage from Panama to Wellington the Auten carried 1400 tons of coal and 322 tone of fuel oil. The oil alone would have more than taken the' Yngaren over this voyage so that the 1400 tons ot coal was an unneces sary burden. On the voyage homeward the Auten covered practically the same ground s the Yngaren on her return trip. With the motorshlp the average speed on this voyage was 11.1 knots and the fuel oil burned per mile was 43.6 kilograms, while the steamer at an average speed of 10.01 knots the consumption of coal per mile was 201 kilograms. The steamer engineering departmervt employed a to tal of 18 men and the Yngaren In her engineering department a total of 13 men. In the T7 days' run out and bax-k the total stopping time of the motorship amounted to 17 hours 54 minutes, div ided into 17 stops, although on the way home she was forced for the entire run, the average Indicated horsepower on this leg of the run being 3O30 with the snip lully loaaea The ship is under the flag of the Trans-Oceanic company and is In to the General Steamship cor poration. She is lying at the Globe mill, loading grain for Europe, and will complete her cargo this week. Captain Hultman Is master. STEVEDORING COPIES OCT Opening of Bids Set for Septem ber 1 . at Washington. Copies of specifications covering sievedorlng at points between Port land and the mouth of the Columbia were distributed yesterday for the third time within a week. They were recalled on previous occasions. -The tiank proposals provide for opening of bids at Washington September 1. and that bids shall be received until 11 o'clock that morning and then opened before T. V. O'Connor of the commission. The step is regarded as one outcome cf a dissatisfied attitude on the part of stevedores of the two coasts and the Gulf over schedules as to condi tions and charges that became ef fective August 1. A majority of stevedores here took the stand that certain work was required without compensation, such as rigging ships to handle cargo and stowing the rigging and putting on hatches aft erward. Such a requirement was be- eved unreasonable because of past practices in which such labor was charged to the ship. It is thought a:so that rates were low for handling freight In many Instances, while conditions with respect to liability psurance were too broad. The most, direct objection to the schedule Is reported to have been made by San- Francisco and Puget Sound stevedores. Portland steve dores were not a unit in objecting. lie or two indicating acceptance. In any event it is the impression here that bidding was made general for aa ports in the united States and in most cases the probabilities are the work will be let exclusively to one organization, save in the largest ports, where it may be divided if the proposals are satisfactory. OPERATORS' BODY PL.AXXED ndependent Association to Deal "With Port Matters Proposed. Organization of steamship agents nd operators into an Independent ssociation at Portland, so they might act as a unit in matters af fecting the fraternity, such as trans fer, loading and dock charges, ab sorptions and their division between ail and water carriers and numer- us details of a kindred character. Is he latest proposal. H. L. Hudson, manager of the port traffic bureau, says he has been pproached by representatives of ertain lines who feel such an asso- iation would prove highly bene ficial to the agents and place them In stronger position to deal directly and forcibly with port bodies In matters of mutual concern.
