alien contract labor laws and immi-
grafton statutes by allowing foreign
crews 20 do longshoremen's work here.

believed there might be a technical
violation of the law. Commissioner

ter ard declared there was no viola
ton Of the law under the revised
statutes. Mir. sullivan, being again
consulted, expressed the desire that
District Attorney French rule in the
matter and as Il conference of the
longshofemen's representatives ana
the district attorney win be held at II
\. NJ. tomorrow.
Beyond this interest in the long
shoremens strike, today centered in

individually and possibly grant
slight increase in wages. A long ses-
sion of the Longshoremen's Council
deliberated on the matter and au-
iourned to allow representatives 10

militia has teen assigned to patrol the
mill section proper, which extends along
the Merrimac river and the North canal
and includes also the Arlington mills.
Otherwise he had no responsibility, lie
said. but agreed that the battle with the
strikers occurred within his zone of aG-

prominent political leaders regarding
the action to be taken respecting the
notification by the American secre-
tary of state that the United States

summoned to meet The President were

The shock of the receipt yesterday,
of news of possible intervention by
the United States was succeeded. to-
day. by n feeling of relief consequent
upon the general impression that Sec.
NnoN's note was intended merely as
caution similar to President Roose-
velts letter to Quesada. not as a
threat. or even as indication of Wash
ingtons intent to proceed to extremi-
ties without further provocation.
Interest centered in the result of tho
conference, tonight, between the Presi
dent and various notables representing
the political parties and the veterans
which convened at $50 O'Clock with In
dications that ii would remain in session
until early in the morning.
The conference will decide upon the
terms of the reply to the Knox note and
it is rumored will likely agree on the rev
ocation or annullment of the civil service
laws. which will give a final impetus tC
the aspirations of the veterans, in affirm
ing equal rights for all Cubans to hold
office regardless of their pro-Spanish an
tecedents.
