LSS EXNAVY MEN 1 HELP RUN SHIPS Chairman Benson Plans for Emergencies as Officials Seek to End Strike. BALTIMORE, Md., May 3.—The local marine strike situation as- wumed a serioux nspect here this &fternoen: twenty members of the ercw of one stenmship being fore- ibiy removed by an armed party, and a fight was reported In prog- ress on amother vessel. Minor disorders also were reported by the police. Administrat hopeful that 3 f U officials today were nation-wide strike result of re- ons to accept a in wages. would be m the 15 per cent cut averted and that peace might come within a few days. The marine strike was said to be up for discussion at the cabinet meeting today, and Secre- < and Hoover were expected to report the progress of their nego- tiations with the union leaders and the steamship owners. 7 Chairman Eenson of the Shipping Board stood firm today in his decision not to recede from his stand that a cut in wag of 15 pe nt was nec- and called on 1 reservists 1 to keep 1 ships in n during the wage dispute. Davis Holds Conference. ary Davis of the Labor De- vartment continued his separate con- ference with labor leaders, after hav- conferred yesterday with Chair Benson. At the Labor Depart- Mr. man ment ucterized the attitude of officials. € ‘nces were arranged during for Secretary Davis with W Urown, representing the shipowner: Andrew Furuseth, president of the International Seamen's Union, and a delegation from the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association. The Labor Secretary was to talk with these groups separately after the cabinet meeting and the hope was expressed that a way to settlement might be found Chairman Benson announced today that he had asked the commandant of the navy yard at Norfolk to lend what- ever assistance he could to move the United States mail. He said the request was made especially with reference to the Old North State, duc to leave New York today for London, but that it was not the plan to man the government mail ships with naval seamen. He also sa that there was no intention to use mili- tary forces in the CONPOVersy nor wis it the plan to ask the Secretary of the Navy for assistance. There are, the chairman said. a num- ber of naval reserve men and discharged Navy seamen who could be used in manning the government merchant craft and the co-operation of the N York navy yard commandant sought in this connection. Rear Admiral Benson's request to the navy yard commandant was taken by board officials to indicate an intention to use the United States naval reserve to man the government merchant ships in the event of con- tinued refusal by marine workers to accept the board's 15 perfoent wage cut. These officials said the naval re- serve force was created for use in an emergency. which, they declared, would exist if the government mer- chant fleet was tied up. The merchant marine act, the: tated, requires the shipping board 0 establish und maintain government merchant ships on trade routes to ail parts of the world. Should the ma- rine workers refuse to keep the ves- sels moving. it was argued, the gov- ernment would clearly have the right to replace the marine workers with seamen from the naval reserves. Reports to the shipping board, of- ficials said, indicated that as far as ship movement was concerned the situation was generally satisfactory. Pickets Cause Dificulty. In New York, however, it was said. some difficulty was being experienced as strikers were picketing the board's recruiting offices, and in Baltimore ghe situation seemed rather unsatisfa tory. In Boston, Norfolk, Savannah ahd Charleston, it was said, reports indicated there would be no difficulty in moving vessels. Galveston ap- peared to be tied up, it was said, but in New Orleans the situation was good. On the Pacific coast. reports showed no difficulties were being encountered at Seattle, Portland or San Francisco The ship owners yesterday rejected Secretary Hoover's suggestion that the question of a wage contract be submitted to a commission of three men, not government officials. Rep- resentatives of the strikers yesterday were confident the owners “would come to terms.” while Admiral Ben- son, In a statement last night, called upon all “loyal citizens to rally to the support of their flag.” He declared the board's efforts to keep its ships in operation was meeting with “grat- ifying success.” DISTRICT RENT BOARD DETERMINES 16 CASES The District rent commission to- day handed down a list of determina- tions lowering ten rental raising . sunctioning two rates fixed by andlords and denying possession of property to three landlords.

An enormous coliection of {class letter mail resulted throughout the business section yesterday on the a inauguration of the extended “quick collection” mail service. Between | 10:40 a.m. and 7 pm. 122489 letters were collected from the 242 boxes in | the section. There were 413 special | delivery letters. This formed part of a total of 945 000 letters collected from all parts of the city—an almost Christmas rush| of mail. due to the fact that the day |was Monday and the first business {day after the first of the month. Of the total of 122,459 letters col- lected on the “quick collection” routes 13,796 pieces were received by 2 pm. and delivered on the date of receipt. The forty-minute schedule was maintained throughout the hours specified. Not 8o satisfactory, from the stand- point of postal officials, was the pro- portion of mail collected from the 242 boxes in relation to “early mail- ing.” Of the 122489 letters, 48,669 were collected betwaen 10:40 a.m. and 4:20 p.m._and 73,820 letters between 4:20 and 7 p.m. This still places the “peak load" of mailing in the business secction after | 4 o'clock, and shows that the business | men are not taking fullest advantage of the opportunity to get speedy col lections and deliveries if they will only mail early enough, postal offi- cials said today. It is hoped by Postmaster Chance that the next few days will show a bettering of the above proportion, | 80 that instead of the figures being | in the proportion of 48,000 up to 4 o'clock to 70,000 after 4 o'clock, they will show a complete reversal. “I urge every business man in Washington to bear in mind con- stantly the necessity for mailing jearly ‘each day, and mailing often,” Postmaster Chance said. “This not ! E only benefits the whole postal sys- tem, but especially it benefits the business men themselves. i “Under the present ‘quick-collec- tlon’ system unparalleded facilities are being offered the users of the |mails, and it is my hope that the [ finest co-operation will demonstrate the success of the quick service. “The showing yesterday was not { good, too many letters heing collected in the downtown business section after 4 o'clock. Only recently the post office arrived at an almost ‘Aifty- | fifty’ relation between the amount of | mail received between 8 am. and 4 and 4 p.m. and midnight. The special { quick collections yesterday did not { uphold this splendid resuit. {RUPP’S DEATH IS CALLED HEINOUS CRIME BY SISTER| By the Associated Press, ! NORFOLK, Va., May 3—“A hefnous orime was committed in connection with my brother's death.” This was the flat statement made today by Miss Sarah Rupp, sister of Lieut. D. A. | Rupp, zley fleld quartermaster, whose mysterious death will be in- vestigated by the United States grand jury tomorrow. | Miss Rupp bitterly denounced state- | ments intimating that her brother had taken his own life. “We are determined,” she said, “to clear my brother's name, and at the same time, if any one was respon- sible for his death, we want a jury to decide upon his guilt. My brother had too much to live for to take his own life. He was young, a fine, lov- able boy, and 1 know he made friends wherever he was stationed. 1f you could have known him as we did, you would realize that it would have been impossible for a man of his type to have killed himself.” Mrs. Rupp, who is sald to be at the home of reiatives near Philadelphia, has not been summoned to appear be- fore the grand jury. Lieut. Rupp was found dead In his quarters at Langley Field early February by his wife, who had re turncd to the post only a few days before. The couple had been the cen- ter of a sensational “assault case” in which it was alleged that Mrs. Rupp s attacked in her bedroom. This affair was supposedly cleared up a few weeks later, when Rupp Issued a statement admitting resonsibility for the attack. Before his death he told friends that in admitting ‘“re- sponsibility” he did Imply that he had attacked his wife, but had acted in_order to stop notoriety. Following the assault incident he was ordered transferred to Honolulu, and was awaiting settlement of his “accounts when his death occurred. L in [ T — to replace the Smothers School, $50,000.

WAR DEPARTMENT 10 SHUT GAFETERIA Munitions Building Workers Must Bring Lunch or Go Outside After May 14. After May 14 all the war workers in the Munitions building, in West Potomac Park, at the foot of 20th street, will have to go outside to get: their luncheons, unless they bring | them from home in the morning. ‘ That will be the effect of an order ! just issued by the War Department, closing on the date named the cafe- teria established by the government during the progress of the war. Reasons given by officials for that action are that the cafeteria is no longer necessary, that it is not pay- ing expenses and that the space is needed for supply division of the War Department, now occupying rented quarters. It was explained that the cafeteria was established when the building was crowded with war workers and there were only a few private lunchrooms in the immediate vicinity; that since then the government force has been heavily reduced and the number of outside lunch places has been largely increased. It was pointed out, however, that the clerks, especially the women, will be greatly inconvenienced by having to go outside for luncheon, especially when it rains or the weather is otherwise in- clement. An official at the War De- partment said that the clerks ought to be glad of a chance to get out in the open during the day and recalled that during the war they were compelled to £0 out at stated intervals during the day to get a breath of fresh air and rmit the ventilation of the big work- | shops. | It was rumored today that the cafe- teria in the Navy Department.building also was to be discontinued in a short time, but it was stated at the depart- ment that no such action was under consideration. .
