HAGUE RULES

THE BILL BEFORE AMERICAN,

CONGRESS

Addressing the committee on com murce of the American Bar Associa tion at a meeting in New York, Mr. John Nicholson, special counsel for the United States Shipping Board, urged that the association endorse H. R. 12,206, which is to be reintroduced into Congress, relating to bills of lading for earriage of goods by sea. In passing the bill Congress would practically adopt the Hagi Rules, with modica- tons of some of the rales or with re

servations.

Mr. Nicholson told the committes that discussion of the Hague Rules in The United States has lasted for about six years and now proponents of the Hague Rules and its opponents had ar

it

when some members of the com- mittee remarked that there were some situations that the bill did not clear up Mr. Nicholson suggested that would be a mistake to offer- any acudnienia to the bill, as it would only hold up a settlement a a few years longer. He said that the National Industrial Traffic League at its convention had expressed its approval of the bill, while not giving it everything it wanted, yet went a good way towards it.

The Glasgow dockers have again turned down an offer made by the Glasgow Shipowners' and Dock Labour Empleois'. Organisation with reference to the dispute regarding overtime on airday afternoons and from 4 a.m. to 5 nm. on other days of the week.

The employers renewed their offer to allow the whole question to go to arbitration, provided the arbiters were not the National Joint Council for Doel: Labour, anti a letter was sent to Mr. Joseph Houghton, docks area secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, proposing that the mattor should go before any. neutral arbiter or court of arbiters. that might be decided upon by mutual agreement, or to a suitable court of inquiry. The other also intimated that in the opinion of the employ ers the refusal to work on Saturday afternoons was a breach of the na- tional agreement, but they were will ing to leave the interpretation of any part of the agreement to the National Joint Council.

Yacht Mystery

The spectre of death raised its head on board the yacht “Nomad” found adrift off Cape May, N. J: When the Coast Guard boarded the helpless vessel belonging to Leland H.
