Plan to pay monthly wage bonus to boost American merchant fleet
Washington April 29. Shipping Board Chairman O'Connor announced a plan to put the merchant fleet on a fighting basis with foreign competition by paying a monthly wage bonus to American sailors from the treasury. He said it would be a major step to build up the merchant marine and urged Congress to act. The President reportedly knows of the proposal, though some Shipping Board members had not pressed it. The idea aims to keep Americans on American vessels and promote transfer of government ships to private hands, aligning wages to battle foreign rates.
