OPERATORS NEED REVENUE Conflicting Statements Made by Authorities, Seamen's Head Claims. By Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, June 29.—Stomachs of American seamen are going to pay two-thirds of the $1,200,000 “annual extra compensation” the managers of the United States Emergency Fleet Corporation have just voted operators of their boats. The needed $1,200,000 will come from new “economlcd” ihe fleet managers have worked out, the biggest being a saving of SSOO,OOO on the food allowance to the crews of cargo boats. After July 1 the operators are allowed 65 cents a day food allowance for each member of a crew, as against the present allowance of 80 cents.

Business Is Bad Business is bad for the operators and they must have the $1,200,000 a year “extra compensation,” corporation members insist. The food allowance on Japanese ships, according to shipping board experts, is 62% cents a day per man. The American “feeding” standard, after July 1, comes within 2% cents a day of the Oriental level. “It will doubtless make It impossible for the American to remain in competition for jobs with the Japanese, to whose standard the new food rate brings him,” said Patrick O'Brien, congressional agent for the International Seamen's Union. O'Brien has ready for Congress two conflicting statements on the food question. Opinions Contradictory Here are the conflicting statements: Joseph E. Sheedy, acting vice president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation in charge of physical operations, stated officially that crews had satisfactorily subsisted for from 48 to 51 cents per day. As against Sheedy’s statement O'Brien cited the testimony of R. T. Merrill, director of the bureau of research of the Shipping Board, who said the average of eight private American companies for deep water vessels for the last part of 1921 was 52.5 cents per man per day. STOCK SALES DROP OFF; MEXICAN OIL HOLDS FIRM Report Has Livermore Settles losses . of Eight Millions. BY WALTER B. BROWN. Editor Nevr York Commercial. Written for the United News, NEW YORK. June 29.—Total sales of stocks Wednesday were but little more than the turnover of a single hour In some of the busy days of the past months. There was no particular significance in the day's developments, and although prices were fairly well maintained during the day, they dropped off a little at the close. Mexican Petroleum was ex tremely tame, keeping within a range of 7 points and closing with a net gain of 2 points for the day. It was reported that Jesse Livermore had been compelled to settle his losses In Mexican Petroleum on the short side of the market to the extent of $8,000,000. The failure of Fuller & Cos., of the Consolidated Exchange, is turning out to be about as bad as anything that has occurred in the financial district in recent times, and it now appears that the firm's .losses in Mexican Petroleum were an immediate cause of its failure. One reason for the lack of enthusiasm on the part of traders was the threat of the railway shopmen to strike on July 1. It had no particular effect on the price of the rails. Here’s a Frank Alibi.
