ITALIAN SEAMEN!
_ i
ROME, Dec. 2.—Although no of-j
fic.ial announcement has yet been
made on the subject, it has been
stated in the press that the Govern
ment is believed to have decided to
agree to the requests of the mer
chant seamen, made to the Minister
for Transports, and the Navy some
months ago, through their confede
ration.
Since the beginning of the war,
the seamen have obtained very
little improvement in their eco
nom condition in spite of the fact
that they have hail to face greatly
increased dangers and also that,
especially in the early days of the
war, the shipping firms have made
largely increased profits. Only the
principal shipping companies have
allowed the employees of lower
rank on their ships a bonus of 40
lire a month on account of the in
creased cost of living, and a boniu
of 60 lire a month to the higher
ranks, such as the captain and en
gineers. The more liberal of the
shipowners recently decided to give
an allowance of 5 to 10 '.ire a
month to tHc lower grades of their
employees. In view of these facts,
it seemed only just that the work
ers at sea should receive the same
concessions toward the betterment
of their conditions as those enjoyed
by the workers in the auxiliary
establishments.
These concessiors were the re
sult of the action of the commis
sion appointed by the Government
to arrange for the economic better
ment of the worker in such estab
lishments. The scope of this com
mission has recently been extended
to include the seamen also. Inde
pendently, however of the results
likely to follow from the work of
this commission, which will endea
vor to adjust the intersts of the
| seamen with 'hose of the shipown
ers, the Government is believed to
have decided to increase the small
war bonus which it had instituted
for some, or *he seamen, but which
did not cover all persons on board
the vessels. Now, on the other
hand, with the provisions which,
it is reported, the Government is
likely to make, this bonus will be
greatly increased, and extended,
with retrospective effect, to all per
sons on the ships, of whatever
grade or age .and whether or not
they are serving on vessels in gov
ernment employ.

is threatened at the former city
owing to a strike of grain elevator
employees. The cause of the
trouble is twofold, namely, a de
mand on the part of the men for
increased wages and for a recogni
tion of the union by the employers.
The Department of Labor is mak
ing every effort to effect an amelio
ration of the present calamitous
conditions, and the employers have
agreed to submit the differences be
tween them,selves and their men to
a board of conciliation.
