MERCANTILE MARINE OFFICERS

THE SITUATION AT SHANGHAI." Considerable surprise has been manifested bere, not only by the Southern Officers but by several members of the Northern Rise Com mittee, who are at present in Hongkong," respecting the tone of the following article which recently appeared in the W. C. Daily News.The article is as follows

"The dispute now rife between the dock officers on the various coasting steamers and the companies owning the vessels is 'evidently approaching a serious form. The officers had a meeting at the M. M. OA. on Monday, at which a strong position was taken "up" and a definite line of action agreed upon. It was private, of course, but in the course of an interview with ope of our representatives yesterday morning, an officer told us the facts of the position which his colleagues have assumed, and the state of negotiations as they are as present advanced.

"What is the cause of the dispute?" com- menced our representative."

"Well," replied the officer, "the whole canse is simply that we want more wages. We con- sider that we are not sufficiently well paid for the responsible work we have to perform,"

"What is the rate of pay now?",

"A second officer's wages now are £8 per month during the first year, when it rises to L1o. A first officer receives Lia during the first year, and £14 afterwards.

"And you want more?"

"Yes. We ask for £14 for a second officer during the first year, and Lao for a chief officer, and afterwards that the second officer should be raised to £14, and the chief officer to £21,"

"And what action, if any, have you taken to enforce your demand 1”

"We have given the companies notice that- unless a reasonable answer is received by the zoth instant an extreme line of action will be. taken. This decision was arrived at on Mon- day evening; and will be communicated to all ports in the East immediately.".

The officer repudiated the suggestion that anyone inside the shipping world considered them well paid. "Look at the engineers,” he remarked. "A third engineer comes out, im- mediately after finishing his apprenticeship, and in his first year he gets more pay than a chief officer who is second in command of the ship, who may hold a Master's certificate, and must have passed at least two examinations, to say nothing of the years he has served at sea. An engineer passes no examination, nor is it compulsory for him to have had previous ex perience at sea. Can there be any sense of

airness in that?"

From the officer our representative immedia Ships.tely went to a representative of one of the ship-

In answer to our first queston, he replied :— "Officially, we know nothing about this dis pute. The officers have never come to us, nor have they written to us complaining about any grievance in regard to their wages."

Our representative expressed surprise, and

communica asked. "Have you received no tion of any sort?"

"Oh yes." he replied: "Eere, (picking up a type-written document) is a communication: we have received from somebody, You will see that it is a type-written circular, and con- tains some 140 names of chief and second offi- cers whom it represents as wanting an increase of wages. It contains nothing, however, to show that it is genuine or comes direct from the man, and for anything we know it may be a bogus document or a huge joke on the part of someone. We have no proper means of knowing. Of course, in the circumstances, how could we take any notice of it?"

Did the officers not press for a reply 7" "The next communication we got was a letter from Messrs. Browett and Ellis, soliciton, who asked for an answer to the officers' letter of 4th January. Neither officially nor privately have" they approached their employers. Of course wa do not ignore the fact that the agitation is going on, but that in no way puts us under an obligation to answer an anonymous document" or a discourteous communication.

"Upon the merits of the case do you think that the men have a legitimate grievance? "

"No one can object to any man trying to better his position, and asking for an increase And he does it in a proper way, I think, however, that

the men have not much to complain o, e

you must not forget that the officers have only to do with navigation. The cargo and tallying business is done by the compradore staff Upon all ocean steamers and some consting vessels, it is different. The officers have to look after the cargo, and have all to do with loading and discharging.

Again alluding to the document containing the names of the officers, he representative of the company, said that he lad reason to believe that a good many of the men whose named appeared on the documenthever signed it, and had never even seen it

Considerable satisfaction has been already expressed at the institution of the d regular homeward service to alternate with the P.&O. What is cow wanted is a regular out: body ward service, also via Negapatam and Fenang. The people of the Northern Settlement have been frequently getting their English mail (on their employ The documat is French mail weeks) sooner than we bave in Singapore.
