BRITISH BLOCKADE QUESTION
AGAIN BECOMES IMPORTANT

The action of Great Britain in plac-
ing an importation embargo until
October / on more than 100 new
articles to the Scandinavian countries
and The Netherlands from all coun-
tries, including the United States, is
arousing most resentment. Even
holders of unexpired licenses to ex-
port the articles listed in the new
embargo, have been directed to COM
municate with the war trade depart
ment of the British foreign office be-
fore making further shipments. The
allies claim the countries embargoed
already have received a supply OF the
excluded articles exceeding the nor
NAL domestic demand.
Since congress empowered the
president with retaliatory powers
through the shipping and revenue
bills, the pressure upon the state de-
partment to hack up its contentious
made to the allies in its notes on the
blockade. the mails and tie blacklist,
has greatly increased.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Drtving
against "the Morgan interests" which
they charge are opening a genera
fight against unionism in the present
transit strike, the Central Federated
union Of New York today submitted
to individual unions, recommendations
for sympathetic strike and for a
boycott of subway, elevated and sur
face cars.
The resolution adopted recommends
'tas a preliminary to the general
strike that longshoremen, boatmen
teamsters, engineers, firemen and
plumbers, whose labor Is keeping the
traction cars running, stop work I'M
mediately.
1--WE guarantee to support them tc
the end" the resolution said.
''If they call out trade unions, II
won't affect US. We have large sup
plies of coal in store and can get
more" was the reply of President
Shonts, OF the Interborough, to the
strike threat.
2 Using the argument that "the
Morgan interests" are determined tc
crush unionism, six trades unions are
already said to have authorized theil
leaders to call strikes at their dis
cretion, according to one report to-
day. The machinist's union, with 90,
900 members, has ordered a referen-
dunn vote on the strike, 1t is said, and
longshoremen are scheduled to meet
tomorrow at l o'clock for q similar
vote.
Police reports today showed thirty.
seven peraons injured and two men
killed on traction lines affected by the
strike in the last twentyfour hours.
Thirty-two were injured in rear end
collision on the Third avenue line at
53rd street when train driven by a
strike breaker struck a train stand
ing at the station there.
Preliminary plans, on which the un-
ions affected are voting today, provide
for strikes involving about $4,000 men.
These strikes are intended to tie up
the traction lines by cutting off their
power through shortage of fuel, walk.
outs of engineers and bringing about
strikes among all workmen engaged
in labor contributing to operation OF
the lines. If this does not have the
desired effect, a general strike affect
ing 100000 workers-both men and
women-in Greater New York is con.
templated. To meet this threat, en-
ployers are said to be laying plans to
bring charges of criminal conspiracy
against leaders who call or encourage
sympathetic strikes.
Police patrols have been established
along the roofs Of buildings on Ninth
avenue, but despite this trains were
bombarded with bricks. bottles and
stones early today. One woman was
seriously injured.
The bodies of two men were found
