MERCHANT MARINE FUTURE

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO
PROBE BIT-DOWNS
MEN TO BE PROSECUTED
ON CONSPIRACY CHARGES
DISCIPLINE ON AMERICAN
SHIPS AT LOW POINT
mim wan
WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. There has
been much high romance written ot
the case of the Ill-fated steamship
Alglc, her story has been called an
. other "Mutiny on the Bounty."
"Sea-lawyers" have already tried
her cart.
But the real tale hasn't been told,
won't be officially until the repre-'
sent stive of the department of Jus
tice begin the preliminary hearings
In November.
Some of the facta hitherto unre
vealed can now be related. Likewise,
the plans of the government for han
dling the case, which may be one of
the most significant In American
maritime history.
There was no Captain Blfgh aboard
fcula Ill-fated ship. There waa no
bloody mutiny. But the case may be
the turning point In the efforta to
f build a merchant marine- If ' wo ft
to have one The reason la I hat the
Immovable body of the lawa o; the
sea will come up squarely against
what modern labor leaders believe la
an- "Irresistible force," the right to
strike whenever and wherever aucn
action Is most effective.
The department of Justice takes
up the case with glovea, not because
tt la considered a difficult one from
the legal standpoint though the
sea-lawyers say they have the gov
ernment trussed to the yardarm but
because of what's behind It.
The seamen cry that they are
being prosecuted by a law passed In
1790, when "five lashes" on the bare
back waa part of the rule of the
navy.
Thta, according to the govern
ment's lawyers; is highly misleading.
It can be definitely stated that they
are now planning to prosecute under
section 463 of title IS of the United
States code- This Is a part of the
law, reviaed, codified and enacted in
1909.
The specif !e charges will Include
conspiracy, confederation and agree-
tnent to resist the lawful orders ot
tbe master of the ship.
' The defense will, In all probability.

Pessimism Peace Confer

WASHINGTON. Oct. 38. OV-At
titudes of "no surrender" by both
factlona In organized labor's civil war
created a widespread belief today that
the week's recess of the peace con
ference might last Indefinitely.
An American Federation of Labor
statement last night said:
"We have not received any help
from the represents Uvea of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization.
Unlcsa there Is ft change In their at
titude .... it Is doubtful If any
progress can be made toward peace."
The federation's peace committee
had Juat heard Its own peace terms
rejected by the O. I. O. delegates In
equally strong Isnguage. Philip Mur
ray, O, I. O. peace committee chair
man, said the A. F. of L. offer would
mean, "abject surrender" and was
wholly unacceptable.
The C. I. O. made the first peace
proposal Tuesday. In brief, it called
for the 0. I. O. to fly the A. F. of L.
flag but to remain virtually an In
dependent department.
The A. F. of L. would have none of
that. The federation peace commit
tee proposed that John L. Lewis' un
ions disKva tbe 0. I. O. and .march
back Into the A. F. of L. to fight for
their principles at federation conven
tions.
The federation charged that Murray
