American Crews Means
Success of Merchant Marine,
Says Benson.
IB) I niver*nl Service.)
American crews must be employed
to the exclusion of all others if the
merchant marine of the United
States is to lie successful, according
to Admiral William S. Benson, chairman
of the Shipping Board. In a
statement issued last night the admiral
said:
"The value of a merchant marine
as an asset to the nation is enlar-ffl
by the fullest employment
?f its own men in that service. Durn:r
ihe war it was necessary to
-jive wide employment in the mer'hant
marine to men of the countries
allied with the United States.
"The time has now come when
">ur merchant marine should be put
upon a peace footing and every effort
should be made to increase the
Proportion of American citizens in
-ts employment.
"It is not the intention to delay
?P- rations or to cripple vesels for
ack of American crews, but it i?
mportant that as fast as possible
11 foreigners should be replaced bv
vmericans."

No. 6?S. C. MAY.
One of the most interesting and also one of the best-looking
guards at the Tidal Basin is S. C. May.
His father is a captain in the navy and May himself has had
a taste of service. Without the knowledge of his father. May j|
enlisted in the Marines and saw service in Haiti and Mexico. '*
By working in the summer, May has been making his own
way through school, and hopes to enter Yale this fall. He was
on Central High School's championship football team and finished
that institution's course in two and one-half years.
G. E. Dickey, conceded to be one of Washington's best |
swimmers, and captain of Central High School's swimming team,
learned the art from May five years ago.
He is the second oldest man among the guards in length of j 1
service, having been at the Basin last summer before the strike
and refusing to walk out when the others did. j j
One day when M?vy was not on duty, but happened to be at 1 I
the Basin, he saw a man's hand sticking up out of the water.
and got ihe man, brought him to shore and gave first j
aid. ^ The policeman s first words (for he was a bluecoat) were: j'
"What made you take so long in coming after me?"
Afterwards the officer tried to give "Steve" money and in | .
other ways showed himself grateful. May says that most people ! (
are so hysterical that they forget the ''thank you" part upon being j <
saved. " | ,
Steve is 20 years old. He coaches his fiancee. Miss F.lizabeth
I_aunce, for her races and is so fascinated by his work at the j 1
Basin that he spends his days off there swimming.
Another Guard's Picture Will Appear Tomorrow.

If Waihlngrton people show that J
hey have attained sufficient aptl- j
ude In swimming: at the close of
his season's bathing: at the Tidal I
iasin, they stand a pood chance of J
njoying night bathing next year. i
Col. Clarence S. Ridley, in charge I

iad this proposition under consideration
for some time and said last
tight that after careful invostigaion
of local conditions in compari- I
on with those of other cities which
lave night bathing, a decision would
>e made.
The cost of keeping the Basin
pen until 9 or 10 o'clock wlUj
,mount to very little according to
stimates made by an architect here
vho is familiar with the problem,
'he lighting: would not cost over
110 an evening and the extra number
of guards that would be put on
rould be paid for by the increased
t tendance.
The Tidal Basin ia self-maintainng:
now and with the many more
eople who would come at night,
he cost of the plan would hardly
leed to be taken Into consideration.
A cable can be run from the po\%er
vires on the Alexandria turnpike to
he Tidal Basin to furnish the curent.
A more limited area could be
stablished for the bathers and another
shift of eight life guards put
n.
A few more lights in the bathlouses
would be necessary and poice
protection would have to be

RAISE AVERTS
BAGGAGE TIE-UP
Workers at Union Station
Agree to 9-Hour Day
And Increase.
All probability of a wholesale
tie-up of baggage moving in and out
of Washington through the Union
Station was removed yesterday
when the chauffeurs, helpers and
clerks employed at the terminal decided
to accept the offer of the Union
Transfer Company for a 9-hour
day and an increase in wages
amounting to 25 per cent.
The raibe in pay is retroactive to
July 1. and, according to the terms
with which the workers accepted the
company's offer, will be 125 a month
if the Public Utilities Commission
gives the concern permission to increase
its rate for carrying baggage.
A raise of 25 per cent would
give them but $17 a month additional
compensation.
"If no increase is granted your
company for transporting baggage,"
says a letter from L A fterne. organizer
of the workers' organization.
to the transfer company, "the
men will waive their claim for any
further increase at this time.'*

Additional security for the allied
