On Ocean Going Steamships is
Believed to Be Imminent
in New York.
icy ASSOCIATED PRESS,


NEW YORK, April 15.-Action which
was believed to be the forerunner Of
san effort to cause a general strike
among seamen Of all classes on ocean
going steamships, resulted here today
in one vessel, the American liner Mon
.golia, being delayed several hours in
sailing; and another, the New York
and Porto Rico liner Brazos, being
forced to anchor down the bay after
leaving its pier.
The Mongolia, laden with 10000 tons
of mixed cargo for Liverpool. was to
sail early in the day but did not get
away until p. m. The crew it was
said, struck after a demand for higher
wages had been refused by officials Of
the American line.
When the vessel finally sailed It was
explained that a truce" had been eff
fected, and that some Of the demands
OF the strikers had been granted. The
Brazos had made its way as far as the
Statue Of Liberty, on its outward voy-
age. when delegation Of firemen, coal
passers and sailors was said to have
appeared before Captain H. w. Bar
stow and presented demands similar to
those in the case of the Mongolia.
Captain Barstow Immediately anchored
his ship and communicated the news
of the threatened strike to the owners
here. The later declined to make any
comment tonight. The demands of the
seamen were printed in four languages
English, Spanish, Italian and Por-
tuguese-and posted by the strikers
on the Mongolia and Brazos.
According to officers of the steam
ship companies, previous efforts to
amalgamate all the various unions of
seamen here into federated body
have failed. For this reason, officials
of the steamship lines, It was said, are
not disposed to regard seriously the
possibility Of general strike.
