OF the freight handlers says that the presentation

Baltimore gives color to this idea There the
executive board demanded that the forecaste quar-
tiers on all the vessels be enlarged at once an I'M
possible demand. since TO make the changes would
occupy months.
Curran expressed indignation yesterday that any
thing that he had said should have been construed
into encouragement of acts Of violence. like the
