asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can make any statement on the negotiations concerning hours and conditions of seamen now in progress between the National Union of Seamen and the shipowners?

I understand that representatives of the shipowners and of the seamen discussed certain questions regarding the hours and conditions of seamen at a recent meeting of the appropriate Panels of the National Maritime Board. The meeting was adjourned.
