man of the executive committee in

bratfon in this city on July Fourth,
said today that he had persuaded two
German singing societies, the Arbei-

change their decision and sing at
the open air concert in City Hall
Park on the afternoon of 1ndepend-

was read at the last session of the
executive committee, Tuesday night,
but his honor the mayor has since
consulted with the leaders and this
announcement is the result. The
societies plea was that the time is

justice to their reputation.

London, June 29:-With the
prices on food necessities advanced
already rs per cent. as a result of
the seaman's strike which now eff
fects nearly every port in the United
Kingdom, with rioting reported in a
half dozen cities; with coastwide and
foreign traffic, excepting the channel
trade, completely paralyzed, Eng
land to-day faces one of the most
serious crisis in recent years.
Steamers in their docks at Glas-
gov, Liverpool, Hull, South Hamp-
ton and other ports are held there be-
cause there are no crews TO take
them out. Incoming steamers are
compelled to drop anchor because
there are no experienced men to push
them into their berths. At Liverpool
the Red Star liner, Zealand, after
hours of delay, was forced to land
her passengers by tenders and is now
at anchor at midstream.
Crews of the big lightships have
deserted and the government is in a
quandary, for if the ships are not
lighted and manned by tonight it
will be next to impossible for steam
ers to enter port.
