Mayor Mclean tonight met a committee of the Baymen's Association (white) in his office by request and listened to them in reference to using his influence in bringing about a settlement of the differ ence between the stevedores and long shoremen.

The bay men, he said, from what they themselves stated and from his own observation, were not suffering from the strike of the longshoremen hav- ing plenty of work, and he felt 1t unwise any action.
