Chairman Benson had previously ac- quainted the president of his intention of remaining In charge of the property of the board until such time as he should be relieved and had also asked Attorney General Daugherty for an opinion as 'to how far he might function in the light of the previous senate confirmation of his nomination under the original *shipping act. The presideat's letter to Chairman Ben- reads: ‘Word has come to me though there is some embarrassmen: felating to disburse- ment on behalf of the Shipping Board because of the temporary unerganized state of the board. “T am writing to reaffirm my previous request that vou continue to function as thoush the board were fully organized and assert vour authority undér the law. “I would like vou to immediately ad- vise department heads, Qisbursing au- thorities and ozder agencies of the board 10 function in a normal way and be con- fidznt of the support of the executive in meeting the exingecies which arise. “T cannot believe it the intention of congress to make possible a situation un. der which the hoard ceases to function.

Commenting on the letter Chairman Tenson said: shall assume and act with full au- thority in evervthing necessary to carry on_the functjon of the bbard.” The chairman added that he would, however, do nothing that might ebmarrass the mew board to be appointed by Mr. Harding. The president’s letter was not taken as forecasting reappointment of Admirat Renson as head of the new board but was considered as a step to preclude any temporary embarrassment and to prevent a cessation of activities concerned with operation ¢f the government owned mer- chant marine. Although there were intimations to- day that tha president mizht send nomin- ations o= new members of tha board to the senats before its probable adjourn- ment tomorrow ther: stili remained the understood intentlon of Mr. Harding net to name any of, the members until he has selected a chairman. This intention it was thought might necessitare the nam- ing of the board by recess apointment. R. A C. Smith and Frank. Munsén, both of New York and men of prominence in the shipping world, have been mention- #d for the chairmanship but it ir not known whether either would sever their present connections to accept the office. o1 FRESIDENT HARDING SENDS NOMINATIONS TO THE SENATE ‘Washington, March 11.—Nearly a score of mominations fere sent by President Harding today to the semate whigh in turn confirmed a number.

The fight for Petrograd has again Namei up, Kronstadt’s bombardment, which re- commenced last night, continuing throughout the day. In intensity the fir- ing surpassed all previcus efforts, The Dagene Nyheter reports that Kron- stadt last night, by means of electric Morse signals, demandel the immeliato surrender of Krasnoye Gorka, 01 pain of cemplete anmihilation. During the’ day Krasnoye Gorka mads only fesble rerlv to the heavy fire from the battleships Se- bastopol and Petropaviovsk. Since this morning Kronstadt has heay- ily shelled Systerbak - and _Valkiasars, causing fires. Some of the coast batter. ies replied. It is reported, but without confirina- tion_that the insurrection has spread to the Karelian peninsula, and that in fights there fleld artillery has been employed. Russian airmen Friday repeatedly flew over Finnish territory, according to the ddvices received here. g The suburbe of Petrograd, says the Da- géns Nyheter, ‘were' -bonibarded. Friday. Riots occurred, ” hut detalls are lacking. Refugees arriving at the frontier. today ¥ that machine guns were used on the ‘workers by the cadet officers sent out to put down the unrest, A new revolutionary newspaper, The Izvestia, hag appeared at Kronstadt. It publishes an energetic resolution passed v the soldiers of the fortress, appealin 10 the leaders to hold fant, oo The people have had. enough of the munist yoke, says the newspaper. ‘The soul-killer, Trotzky, must be told that we are not frightened by his threat- ening proclamations thrown down by air- planes on their way to Kronstadt. Our hearts go out over our corpses. We have made up our minds to conquer or 1o dle. Down with the bloodthirsty Trotzky and his followers.” Late tonight the Dagens Nyheter learns from the Finnish military experts at Kronstadt that the fierce drumfire of the fortress has had the intended effect. One of them declares that Krasnoye Gorka surrendered and that the Kronstadt troops occupled the fortress, the guns of which are now being directed against Pe- trograd. This expert adds that the rev- olutionary leaders, having landed a suf- | ficient number of {roops, have commenced ! an outflanking mdvement against Petro- grad, using Krasnoye Gorka as its base.

P.) —Diplomatic exchange between the Amer- ican and Japanese government concerning the status of the Pacific cable center St Yap have left the situation unchanged and it remajns for the Harding adminis- tration to dictate the next step, Japan’s reply to the protest agafnst Japanese control of the island sent by the Wilson administration through the American embassy at Tokio is understood to have contajneq a reiteration of the Japanese claim to exclusive jurisdiction by reason of the mandate awarded by the supreme couneil. As to Japanese ‘control of the former German cables centering in the island, against which the American government particularly protested. Japan is said to adhere to the principle of free use of the cables by all persons, but with operation and control remaining under the power that is in possession of the ends of the cables. Japan holds that this arrangement ex- ists in the case of the cable that runs from the American owned island - of Guam, in the Pacific, to Yokohama, Ja- pan. The American company which' laid the cable. . It clajms, admitted the right of Japan to control the end which was landed in Japan with America controll- ing the end in Guam. The Japanese view also is understood to be that since direct cable communica- tien between the United States and Asia by way of Guam and Manila already ex- ists the lin> from Guam to Asia via Yap s ony an jndirect overflow connection unnecessary in ordinary times and there- Fore settlement of the question of control is not urgent. Meanwhile it !s suggested that since the league of natlons council has refer- red the Amrican protest addressed to it to the allied nations a reply may come trom that quarte: which may contain the germ of & basis for adjustment. One incidental result of this suspension may be the preparement of a settlement by direct negotlation of the jssue between Japan ang the Netherlands arising from the claim of the Dukch government to control one of the former German cables extending from Yap to the Dutch East Indies.

ASSAIL PROPOSED REDUCTION OF WAGES OF RAILWAY MEN Chigago, March 11.—Action looking to- ward' the wholesala reductions of wages of raflway employws of the nation, was assailed tonight by union leaders. The railway executives were unanimous in declaring that the reductions were ne- cessary to pave the way for lower freight and passenger rates and said that the ‘wage cuts would begin with the unskilled employes but would finally reach lv highest executives. In replying to this J. G. Luhrsen, pres- ident of the American Train Dispatchers’ Association, asserted * that the train sheets would show that the railroads were not ecoriomically managed and in a letter to Senator A. B. Cumins, chairman of the senate Interstate commerce com- mittee. He called for a senatorial in- vestigation of the transportation situa- tion “so as to avert serious strife over wage reductions.” “Notices of proposed wage reductio~s on individual railroads have been exp« § ed since the meeting of the rallway exc- cutives here on February 18,” said a statement issued by W. Jett Lauck, for- mer secretary of the war labor board and now consulting economist of the rail- road unmions,” it ig part of the plan to deluge the United States labor board with a multitude of complaints and cannot be of much financial benefit to the railroad: “One complaint after another must be considered by the labor board and a con- siderable period of time must elapse be- fore a sufficient number of decisions, even if favorable, can be secured by the rail- roads. “If financial relief, and not the break- ing down of the labor organizations were the object, the breaking down of the la- bor organizations were the obfect, the railroads in a certain area or district would notify their employes of proposed wage cuts, invite them (o select represen- tatives to meet the representatives of the carriers in conference, and then, if no agreements could be reached, a complaint covering a large number of railroads and their employes be brought before the la- Dbor board.” ; The only road entering Chicago which has not called its employes to discuss wage readjustments is -the Illinols Cen- tral.
