A letter received recently by the
Heppner Commercial Club from the
United States shipping board re
quests the co-operation of this city
in recruiting able bodied young men
for the merchant marine service.
The training station for the north
west is located at West Seattle,
Washington.
With the present conditions of em
ployment as they are, the scale of
pay offered by the merchant marine
stands very high. Oilers and water
tenders receive $80 per month, fire
men $75, coal passers $65, able sea
men $75, ordinary seamen $55,
cooks $60 to $100, messmen $60 and
mess boys $55. All these salaries
are in addition to food and clothing,
which is furnished without charge.
The recruit may pick has branch of
the service, the engine room, . the
deck or the steward's department.
The minimum weight for the en
gineer's division is 140 pounds, while
12 5 pounds is required for the deck
and steward's departments.
Men with little or no "knowledge
of seafaring may learn some one of
the branches in from four to eight
weeks. Recruits are paid $1 a day
and furnished food and clothing dur
ing the training period. Upon ac
ceptance for service the recruit's
railroad fare to Seattle is refunded so
the only chance he has of losing is
upon his rejection, which is made ne
cesary only where physical defects
are such that he is unfit for active
service.
Mjn between the ages of 18 and
2 5 years of age are desired for the
merchant marine.
