STRIKE ON COAST Il,

Congestion of Freight Becomes
More Acute With No Pros
poet of Relief
ASSOCIATED Pres. BY Federal Wireless,


SAN FRANCISCO, June ). - The
strikers and the shipowners marked
time yesterday, while the freight con
gestion on the Pacific Coast became
more acute. Nowhere, from San Diego
to the Canadian line, was there any
movement of freight except where the
shipOwners had granted the demands OF
the strikers, as in the case Of the T. X
X. line. The work on the Tenyo Maru
after short interruption, was re,
sumed, and her cargo of silk will be
sent across the continent as speedily as
possible to make up for the time al
ready lost.
Strike leaders last night refused to
discuss a telegram from Secretary OF
Labor Wilson, announcing that the gov.
eminent intends to adhere closely to
the agreement requiring sixty days no,
tice on the part of labor unions before
ordering a general strike.
The shippers admitted that there will
be no attempt to resume work today
The strikers, however, declared that
work will be resumed this morning for
those companies which have granted
the demands of the unions.
II was announced last night that
there would be a conference of the
strike leaders and the employers in this
city today, and another in Portland

CROSS FOR DARING DEEDS
(By The Associated Press. }

LONDON, June 4-N0twithstandin
the countless deeds Of bravery that
have been chronicled on the British
front, the ceremony OF awarding the
Victoria Cross is still rare enough to
be notable whenever it occurs. One
such recent ceremony was, in fact,
unique, for the recipient was the Rev.
Noel MrlIish, London curate, who is
the first chaplain in the British army
to r"reiv" the cross in the present war,
or in any war since the second Afghan
campaign Of 1879. The general who
pinned the ribbon on the chaplain y
breast read brief account of the gal

ing Of the Republican convention a
comparatively few hours away, Repub.
lean and Progressive leaders declare
themselves utterly at a loss TO predict
the course Of events. For some time il
has seemed as though the Roosevelt
strength was growing rapidly, but this
apparently has changed.
For some unexplained reason the con-
yietion appears to be growing in the
republican ranks that the former Pre-
sident will not receive the nomi nation
OF that party, and the Progressive lead.
ers last night were compelled to admit
that the outlook for their chief has be-
come noticeably darker during the last
few hours.
Progressive Leaders Silent
Asked for some reason for this con-
viction. several of the prominent Pro.
gressive leaders refused to talk and the
Republicans merely shrugged their
shoulders or talked about q Thuuch,''
The fact of the matter appears to be
that both parties have come to the
conclusion that Hughes is the candi-
date upon which the rival factions of
the old Republican party can unite and
present solid front against the Will.
son Democrats.
The situation, however, is without
precedent, as even the Oldest of the
oid'timers admit, and anything is like
ly to come out Of the convention, il
was said, there being even the possibi,.
hty of "dark horse" winning the
nomination, although it was conceded
that such an event is extremely unlike
"
Republicans Would Make Peace
Another feature of the situation is
growing more apparent hourly. This
is the genuine effort on the part of the
Republican leaders to win the, Pro-
gressives back into the fold. i No word
Or action is being spared to heal the,
four'year- old split in the Republican
ranks, and to present united front
to the Bourbon foe.
The harsh criticism of former times
are no more heard anywhere, and the
bellicOse demonstration of other days
are gone. In their place has come a
broad sympathy and a cordial friendli.
ness. Whether the effort will serve its
purpose remains, of course, to be seen,
but that it is being made in all sin.

City Pull Of Politicians
The city is full of politicians, and
half of the delegates have come and
registered. The others are expected to-

Roosevelt men last night declared
that their last advices from the colonel
indicated positively that tho former

come TO Chicago. If the country wants
him he will accept; that is his atti.

as the evidence now at hand shows con

says: -,
While our loss is to be deplored,
there can be no question that we at.

This is true, not only relatively to

TO MAKE SURVEY
OF HUDSON RIVER
Quick Action to This End
Follows Representative
HuIbert's Discovery.

Owing TO the recent discovery by
Representative Murray Hubert, of this
city. that no complete survey OF the
Hudson River had ever been made, an
exhaustive survey of the Hudson River
from the Battery to Spuyten Duyvil IS
expected to be under way soon. Mr.
Hubert is the first Representative
from this city TO be a member of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee OF the
House.
an connection with the improvement
of the North River Representative HUI
bert found that bar in the channel
hampers access TO the new piers when
the city is building at Forty-httn
Street" says the Merchants Associa-
ton. The shoal water off the piers Will
admit vessels of only twenty-five feet
draft. while the piers are being built
for vessels Of thirty-fve foot draft and
upward.
AS the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee of the House is TO hold ses-
sions in New York City during this
summer and should have accurate
data upon which to base its conclu-
sions, Representative Hubert saw
the necessity for making the provl-
sion for an adequate survey. The
Rivers and Harbors appropriation bill
had already passed the House and
was in the Senate. He succeeded in
having an amendment incorporated in
the Senate providing for a survey Of
the Hudson River from the Battery
70 Spuyten Duyvil."
In view of the Importance OF this
survey 10 the improvement Of the
port, in which the Merchants Associ-
alton is deeply interested, the execu-
tive committee of the association at
its last meeting unanimously adopted
the following resolution, urging ade-
quate provision for a thorough survey
of the Harbor of New York and of
the waters adjacent thereto. wherever
such survey is needed TO provide ac-
curate data for the use of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee of the House
and for the information of the public.
TO the end that the great national
Port of New York may be adequately
improved"
Copies of the resolution have been
sent to the chairmen of the Rivers
and Harbors committees of the SEN
ate and the House. The rivers and
harbors bill is now in Congress.
