SHP LIABILITY | MEASIRE PUSHED Committee Hears Story of Relatives of Ward Line | Disaster Victims. By the Associated Press. A stark picture of bereavement and poverty painted by survivors of the Morro Castle and Mohawk sea dis- asters spurred the House Merchant | Marine Committee today to quickened | action on legislation to increase lia- bility of ship ownérs for loss of life at sea. Relatives of the victims of the two tragedies yesterday in choking voices described for the committee the two nights of horror. Some survivors lacked means of support; others were rendered unable to work. Would Increase Liability. Representative Sirovich, Democrat, New York, has a bill before the com- | mittee which would increase liability | to $100 per registered ton and thus | bring single-ship liabilities into the| million-dollar class in most cases. Under present law, the committee was told, the Ward Line, owner of both ill-fated ships, is responsible only up to $20,000 for all the deaths and injuries resulting from the Morro Castle’s burning off the New Jersey coast last September. ‘This $20,000 has to be spread among the relatives of the 134 who died and the many more who were hurt. Survivors Tell Story. The members of the Morro Castle and Mohawk Survivors' Association passed in quick succession across the | committee witness stand. Bitter charges against acting Capt. William F. Warms of the Morro Castle were made by Samuel J. Levinson, association attorney. “That captain,” Levinson said, “did not care about anything except making Charles Trujillo, 14, & lad whose steward father died in the Morro Castle fire, was led by his mother to the committee room to tell of the parent’s departure from home. He got out only a few words before burst- ing into tears and burying his head against his mother.

BOYS HEAR JENNINGS Civic Leader Speaks at Woodward School Function. “Don’t follow the crowd—but don't be snobbish.” This was the advice given the younger generation by Cole- man Jennings, civic and welfare lead- er, in an address last night at the annual father-mother-and-son ban- quet of the Woodward School for Boys at the Central Y. M. C. A Independence in judgment is an essential of good citizenship, Jen- nings said, but one can be independ- ent without being a snob. He was introduced by Harry L. Spratt of the | Farm Credit Administration, who was toastmaster. J. J. King, head master of the school, called attention to the fact that Spratt once was shortstop for the Boston Braves. QUIZ ON PAY SENT OUT The American Federation of Gov- ernment Employes is sending to mem- bers employed in facilities of the Vet- erans’ Administration questionnaires designed to disclose data on hours of labor and charges for quarters, sub- sistence and laundry.

Leave Extra Order Card in empty bottle for your Thompson Milkman, Leading 1009, Independent Washington Dairy By the Associated Press. There was no word today as to what the Government could or would do about the flat declaration of the Sunshine Mining Co. of Kellogg, Idaho, that the concern is not subject to section 7-A of the recovery act. This denial that the Government has any power to enforce the collec- tive bargaining clause in the case of the big sjlver mining concern was posted on the company’s bulletin board. The notice to employes said that “inasmuch as its business is not interstate, it is not subject to Fed- eral control under N. I. R. A. with respect to relations between employ- ers and employes.” Many New Deal labor experts hold the view that mining affects inter- state commerce and, therefore, N. L R. A. is_applicable. However, the National Labor Relations Board, ap- pealing for more power to enforce its decisions, has acknowledged that pres- ent means of enforcement at its dis- posal are weak. Other companies have opposed the law in the courts, but so far as N. R. A. officials could recall, this was the first time that a company has formal- ly given such an opinion of the law prior to court action. R. M. Hardy, Sunshine president, sald the decision would not affect present relations with employes in any way.

Support of legislation of the Vinson bill type—leaving the method of pay- meat open—was reaffirmed by the National Executive Committee of the Legion in a meeting at Indianapolis Tuesday night. What would happen should the Senate pass the Vinson bill, despite the House's preference for the Patman measure, remained for the future to determine.
