ing Longshoremen in New York.
 Probably 1t is just as well that James Farley, strikebreaker. is not In New York at the present time, as the feeling against him is so bitter that for once in his spectacular career as q strikebreaker he might come to the end of his rope. Yesterday another man was attacked and beaten ana the New York World of this morning gives the following account of the af- fray:
 ''One of the exciting incidents of the day was an attack upon Captain Harry Bowen, of Bowen X Post, the detective agency which is supplying strike breakers 10 most of the steam ship companies. Bowen Is the Farley of the present strike, that hated op- ponent of union labor, not yet having appeared on the scene, although 1t has several times been reported ihat he was supplying the Itelians who are taking the places cf the strikers.
 "In reality Captain Bowen has been doing the work, but the strikers have just found 1t out. He has contract to supply men to the shipping trust, which is the International Mercantile Marine Steamship company, the North German Lloyd, the Phoenix Inc and Bush's Stores. He has already snug. gled more than 1000 men upon the different piers and is daily getting new recruits. He expects 500 more men to arrive tomorrow from Boston, Philadelphia and other cities. {
 "The strikers were on the lookout for Bowen all day yesterday. In some mysterious manner they rscciv- cd word that late in the afternoon he was to board the tug Edra, lyiuy ii the North river at the foot of Twenty second street. Nearly J00 men dis trlbuted themselves along the pier tc give Bowen a warm reception. First the strikers interviewed the captain of the Edna and told him 1t would be very dangerous for him to sake Bowen aboard. The tugboat captnlr admitted that he was under orders tc convey Bowen to the White Star llnc pier.
 "when the new Farley came upon the pier he was unconscious of his danger. As soon as he was recog' nized the strikers bore down upon hin with shouts of "Kill the scab" and Hes as bad as Farley" In an in- stant he was fin the midst of strug gling crowd, with every hand raised against him. The few policemen present were powerless to render as sistance and word was sent to tho nearest station for reserves. wher the reserves arrived on the run Bowef was in bad way. He Is powerful iy built man and gave good account of himself, but the odds were too great. Bricks and stones were flying in the air, while a few strikers wert using reyolvers
 "Bowen managed to reach the string piece of the pier, and drawing his revolver, cried, I'll shoot the first man that advances
 .'The crowd gave way for q moment and Bowen jumped from the pier tc the deck of the Edna. He sought refuge in the freroom while the police were beating back the mob. The cap tain of the tugboat refused 10 take Bowen to his destination.
 T didn't know was going to car ry Q Farley" said he.
 Bowen finally persuaded him tc cast off and put him aboard Central Railroad of New Jersey ferry boat This was done and Bowen proceeded to the White Star line pier tn a rounsl about way. Several of the rioters were clubbed by the police. but no ar- rests were made"
