The Ship Board was operating at a
loss and it was claimed that the high
wages paid the marine workers was
the cause of the deficit. \ fifteen
per cent wage reduction was decided
upon, together* wfith arevision of work
ing conditions and elimination of over

jected. as it would mean to them prac
tically a fifty per cent reduction in
wages ;ls a whole. They were willing
to meet the fifteen per cent wage, cut
but totaJy oposed to accepting the
teifns regarding working conditions,
which would speedily place them ia
practically the same situation they
were in a few years ago before the
LiiKollette law was enacted—slaves to
the ship; criUntmals if they left it in
port after having signed articles and
condemned to be treated as criminals
by being placed in jail and kept the e
until the ship was ready for sea; then
put on obard in irons and compelled
to work and suffer the retention from
tbuir wages of all expenses of prison
keep, etc. After thirty years of effu-t

held up to tliat time, with the Shin

nil offers of compromise, notwithstand

disclosing by Investigation that the
high cost of operating Shipping Board
