NoNuNloN MEN QUIT AFTER RIOT
Strike Breakers Attacked by Long

New York, May ia group of men
who had become FESTIVE as result OF
the longshoremens struggle descend
ed upon gang of strike breakers at
work on the Italian line pier at the
foot of West Thirty-fourth street Sat.
urday. The reserves from a nearby
police sta ton, who were hurriedly
summoned at the first indication of
trouble, had their hands full before
the fight was settled. One of the
strike breakers was beaten badly and
number of others were hurt No ar.
rests were made. immediately after
quiet was restored the strike break.
ers served notice on the line off.
Gals that they would work no longer,
and with the exception of six they de.
serted.
Arbitration Offers Rejected.
Arbitration is being preached to
end the longshoremen's strike, but
there is little hope as yet of any nego
tiations being entered upon by the
parties to the controversy The ma
tional civic federation has been sound
ing representatives of the steamship
companies and the strikers leaders
but its efforts have been almost mega
tive. The federation found neither
side willing to take the initiative
even Of joint discussion of the dis
pute. so it suggested that instead Of
each side appointing conferees, as al
first proposed, negotiations be taker
up by a committee in no way connect
ed with either side. The steamship
management received this latter pro
| posal coldly, but did not say that the.
| would ignore such committee if i
was formed.
