The owners are now hav ing trouble with their sailors, who want $60 wages for eight hours' work a day and 60 cents an hour overtime pay. The owners seem determined to hold out against this demand. Re cently, when the marine engineers struck for advanced wages, the steam schooners were nearly all laid up, but eventually a compromise arrangement was concluded, both sides making con cessions. Now the owners do not feel disposed to grant the demands of the sailors, fearing that the demand habit will become chronic, and as a conse quence many of the vessels are out of commission.
