New York, May 15.-The longshore-

change. Both sides are resolute and
each asserts that the other is losing
ground Some attempts have been
made toward arbitration, but these
efforts hava not been sanctioned by
either the transatlantic steamship
companies op the strikers and they
have been met with encouragement at
the outset.
Persistent work Is being done by
the strikers to persuade the men en-
ployed on the barges, which supply
the liners with coal, to quit work. This
would be tho most telling stroke
against the companies the strikers
could make As IL Is the strikers
made a distinct gain In getting the
grain handlers at the forty or more
elevators on the New Jersey harbor
front to strike In sympathy with them.
This means that the shipping OF grain
from this port will be greatly retard-
ed. But the coal handlers insist that
nothing will induce them to strike.

And Jew and Gentle shall combine
To raise on this new sod
