INFLUENCE OF HARDING IN NAVY CONSTRUCTION ABOUD TESTIFIES AT CONSPIRACY MEETING MARTENS DEPORTATION PAPER CANCELLED But It roesn't Give Soviet Agent .Right to Return to the ; , United States , HOPE TO PREVENT THE MARINE STRIKE MAY 1 Chairman Benson of Shipping Board Discusses Threatened 1 Shipping Tie-Up One of 60 Indicted ' Merchants ! May Get Immunity t i : i - - Y 5 " A WASHINGTON, Fel. 25. Hope that officers and seamen on American ships and shipowners will ;be able to reach an agreement that will eliminate the Possibility tf a general seamen's strike- waa expressed tonight by Chair man,. Benson, the shipping: board and Andrew "uruseth, president of the In ternational Seamen's union. Both com mented on New York- dispatches .stat ing, that shippings circles there were discussing the possibility' of such a .strike May 1,. wihen th existing work ing agreements expiry. - " - r Chairman 6enson said that although the shipping bp rd lad o, direct con nection with the labor .problem. it would use its good offices' to further a solution of the problem., The hope of the seamen. President Furuseth said, -was that the shipowners may think .a, little better of It whfen they have con sulted with the new shipping board ap pointed by the incoming administra tion. " : ' Personally, Admiral Benson said, his feeling toward the working men was most sympathetic, ami at the same time he realized that the time had come when the ship operators must reduce expenses or go out of , business. ; - Refusal of the owners to confer with the unic-n regarding new wage agree ment, furuseth said, "would drive na tive seamen In the. American merchant marine from the sea. and thus turn the vessels over to Norway, England and Japan." ' Similar views were expressed in a statement (by Matthew Woll, vice pres ident of the American Federation of LAbor. Refusal of the owners to con- tlnue - relations with the - seamen's union, he said, would mean the "de struction of the American merchant marine." "Without the union to bring about the enforcement of th provis ions of the seamen's act, he adde-d. con ditions would "again become intolera ble and our American seamen will de sert their ships." Readjustments are being effected In all lines of business, Chairman Benson declared. "VTa:es and the cost of liv ing are going down and ship workers' wages must follow. As an alternative to reducing wages, he asserted, the vessels must be tied up and that would ma,n no Jobs at all for the seamen. Readjustment of wages, overtime, hours of work and other questions must be worked out between the sea mew and the operators, he added, to meet present shipping conditions. ;"We tid.pot like to contemplate the results that will inevitably come from any action that the shipowners may President-Elect Wants Big Ap- raleigh, Feb. 25.

The depart ment of labor has cancelled its warfant of arrest ' and order of deportation against Ludwig C. A. JC Martens, re cently deported "ambassador" of the Russian soviet government, his coun sel, Charles Recht, announced today.

Martens' deport ed secretary, also was cleared, accord ing to Mr. Recht, who said he received a telegram yesterday from the depart ment of labor announcing that the two men "having been deported and-ihaving arrived in Russia, the warrant of ar rest -and deportation order, against them has. been cancelled." . - ' Mr. Recht said that It had not been his intention', to make known this action until he had consulted the de partment of labor, but explained that in "some mysterious manner"' the blue penclllmj of the formal charges against Martens and Weinsteln had leaked out and had been published In a foreign language newspper here. "Martens and Weinstein are given a clean slate and are free to return to the United States at any time," he added. "Of course, another warrant of arrest and deportation order could be issued against them after their arrival." PROFESSIONAL, LEAGUE DEMANDED BY KINSTON Special to The Star) NEW BERN. Feb. 25.

A. K. Martens, the Russian soviet agent who was recently deported, has been cancelled, as announced in New York 'by his counsel, Charles Recht, but denied that this action would serve to permit his return to the United States. The. same laws which operated to expel Martens, they said, would serve to ex clude him from the United States in the future. Although Martens was never recog- .nized as the ambassador of soviet Russia, department officials said, he was recognized as a representative of that country and as such it was felt that he merited certain consideration. Orders previously had been Issued, they explained, that he be shown every courtesy and consideration and upon the receipt of official advices that he had arrived In Russia the warrant was cancelled.

During the course of the debate, Senator McColn got the floor to protest against some of the points of order made and the lieutenant-governor presiding sug gested to him that it was th third ytlme he had spoken on this same sub ' ject during the debate. The chair hoped to lessen the argument and ex pedite the business but it did not have that effect on the senator from ' Vance. "I am sorry to inform the ch'alr thst it is not true that this Is the third time I have fpoken on this sub ject" McCoin declared, pounding the desk with his clenched fist. The chair hegged his pardon and the senator from' Vance continued his discussion of the effort of the opposition, to get this measure back before the com mittee in order to kill it. He thought every man In the senate should have read the bill since it had been printed nd was available. Some ne called on Walter Woodson, . chairman of the committee, to know what he preferred about the reference of the bill. He eaid he wanted to have It referred and very "frankly admitted that he was op posed to any censorship at all. He did not think the reference would change the attitude of any senator, but he did believe It should be given a little more consideration by the committee before M. was indorsed and sent to the senate. The proponents of the measure asked f it would be possible to get the bill considered in time for a report back -9 the senate on Saturday night Woodson thought it possible, but did lot r want ; to promise definitely, since he v could not bind his committee.
