SHIPPING CONCERNS
GET U. S. TERMINALS
YTur Department to Lease
Eight Ports to Private
Companies.
WEItE BUILT DURING WAR
Government to Bo Reimbursed
for Depreciation and In
terest on Investment.

Washington, Sept. 4. Commrrlcnl
IBttrprlM l the United States received
. new Impetus to-day through the. bc
Hon by the War Department In turning;
over for uso by private shipping con
cern:), eight of tho bent equipped port
tormina's In the world, which are by
products of the war. The scheme fits In
with the plan of the United States Ship
pine Hoard to give tho American mer
chant marine an opportunity to hold lt
own atjalnst all foreign competition.
These port terminals will be leased to
private enterprise on terms which will
reimburse tho Government for Interest
on the original Investment and deprecia
tion, the leases to be subject to future
tnl'ltary requirements In enso of war.
Tho eight terminals arc located at
Boston, South Brooklyn, Tort New
ark, l'hlladelphla. Baltimore, Norfolk,
Charleston and New Orleans. Each Is
equipped with the most modern and ef
ficient cargo handling apparatus and Is
Ideally fitted to serve during pease as
a potent factor in the development of
(hipping.
I'rovlde Harbor Facilities.
It has long been recognized that Amer
ican shipping was handicapped by the
lack of facilities to co-ordinate the land
and sea traffic. Inadequate harbor fa
cilities have long added to freight
charuns.
While American Inventive genlnus has
been perfecting the highest types of
randling machinery, there has been no
adoption of consolidated port terminals
due to the Individuality of American
hipping enterprise. The result has been
that this machinery has been utilized by
foreign nationals to the detriment of
American shipping.
An example of the benefits of the
co-operative Idea In terminal facilities
la found In the popular Bush Terminal
at South Brooklyn, where every mechan
ical aid for the loading and unloading
of freight has been Installed.
When the war broke out the army
became the largest shipper In the United
States and decided to construct termi
nals on a scope which would make them
susceptible of use after peace had come,
or for a long continuation of the war.
Accordingly, the best engineering talent
was called In and the terminals were
strategically laid out along the coast
Each baso was designed to handle a
particular class of materials from the
territory tributary to It.
Includes Numerous Piers.
Each of the bases includes ware
houses, three or more piers, and every
provision for the moil efficient transfer
cf cargo from drays, moior trucks or
freight cars, direct to steamship holds,
led vice versa.
The terminal at South Brooklyn, rec
ognized as the largest capacity single
freight terminal In the world, as will
u the most efficient, as an example, pro
vides for the quick vertical transmission
of freight through a remarkable ele
vator system. The freight Is carried
Into two enormous warehouse! The ele
vators are entirely automatic and pro
Tide for the conveyance of loaded elec
tric trucks to the various floors by
means of a single central despatcher,
eliminating tho services of sixty elevator
operators.
The warehouse, an Integral part of
each of the terminals, offers all the
advantages of an actual free port Once
bonded, material either for Import or
xport, may be moved freely In or out
of It with ample opportunity for proper
classification and custom Inspection
without delaying traffic.
NAYY ADVANCES PAY
OF ITS CIVILIAN AIDS
No Clerical Worker Will Get
Lower Wages Than Laborers
Under New Scheme.
HET FLAT 5 PER CENT. RISE
Working Honrs Also Changed
So That Saturday Tasks
Will End at Noon.
Washington, Sept K. A wago In
crease of five per cent was awarded all
classes of civil employees In the naval
establishment under a new pay schedule
approval to-day by Secretary Daniels,
and which will go Into effect "on the
nearest pay day to September 15." The
Increase, based on the difference In the
advance In cost of living and the Con
gressional bonus authorised slnco the
last readjustment of wages a year and
a half ago, affects more than 286,000
naval employees.
Several classes of employees. Includ
ing practically all clerical forces and
four mechanical trades, will receive In
creases considerably above the general
f.ve per cent advance through a read
justment of the entire wage schedule to
correct Inequalities In the present scale.
The new schedule was not made public
to-day, but will bo announced early next
week, Secretary Daniels said.
Men Not Folly Satisfied.
Outside of the Increase the most Im
portant provision of the new schedule Is
a reduction of working hours to four on
Saturday, the year around, the em
ployees to be paid for the half day's
work at the hourly rate. While this pro
vision will offset to some extent the In
creases applying on hourly pay. It was
said tho employees had approved the
provision through their representative
on the Becommendlng Board, who Joined
In submitting a unanimous report to the
Secretary.
While the basic S per cent Increase
does not meet the demands of the em
ployees, which ranged from 25 cents an
hour as a minimum general Increase to
45 rents for mechanics, the board's re
port to the secretary declared the scale
of pay In the naval establishment waa
found to bc "5 per cent higher, bonus
considered, than the wage scale of any
other Industry" without the present In
crease Included.
The Increase was awarded despite this
fact, the report eald. because under the
terms of the original award of the
Macy board, readjusting navy yard
pay, the navy Is "pledged to the work
ers to make a decision on the basts of
the change In the cost of living." In
this connection the board recommended
that future readjustments be made "In
accordance with the l.uv of 1S62. upon
the basis of current wages in similar
private establishments."
Four Trades Get Extra Raise.
The four trades found to be entitled
to a higher basic rate were anglesmlths,
die sinkers, moulders and pattern mak
ers, these receiving Increases In addi
tion to the 5 per cent as a result of
the higher rating. In regard to clerical
forces the board said:
"It is found that the clerical force
has been receiving, as compared to the
skilled mechanics In. the employ of the
navy, relatively too low a wage for the
duties and responsibilities required of
them."
Under the readjusted comparative
ratings of the new schedule for the
rlerlcal and mechanical forces no clerk
will receive "less than the maximum
pay of the laborer."
In discussing the award Secretary
Daniels said he believed the resulting
Increase In payroll would not necessi
tate a material reduction of forces, Tha
Secretary expressed assurance that the
schedule would be acceptable.

PACTS UP TO OTHER POWERS.
t. S. Will Let Foreign Nations Act
On Possible Termination.
Wabhinoton, Sept. 4. Responsibility
for termination of the commercial
treaties between the United States and
more thnn a score of foreign nations In
conformity with requirements of the
shipping act probably will ba placed
squarely upon the other parties to the
treaties by the State Department.
In other words It will be left to the
other Government to ay whether It Is
content to accept tha terms of the act
and acknowledge the right of Congress
to discriminate against Its shipping with
out entirely cancelling existing treaties.
Officials regard these treaties as con
tracts, and do not claim the right to
cancel a single provision without the
consent of the other parties. Indeed It
has been found that some of the treaties
Include clauses expressly prohibiting any
changes In their provisions In any part
