To the tugmen. dock workers and practically
every class Of labor used in handling freight on

that the most serious problem confronting the
association is TO obtain cargoes.
Many vessels. the union men say. have been
tied up here ever since the opening OF naviEa-

a demand from the rank and file that the long
shoremen cease handling cargoes brought in by
