NEW YORK FACES STRIKE
Engineers and Firemen on Tug Boats
Tie Up Harbor-Monstes Parade
Is Held.

New York.-May Day, featured here
by monster parade of union workers,
also was marked by the beginning Of
new labor disorders, as well as the
settlement of several strikes.

way of Madison avenue. Members Of
the garment working trades predomi.
mated and later held mass meeting
preparatory to the calling Of strike,
following the lockout put into effect by
the members.
The day began vita a strike of en-.
gineers and firemen on tugboats and
lighters in New York harbor and ad.
jacent waterways, but by nightfall
many Of the owners had acceded to the
demands for increased wages and the
water traffic situation was much i'm
proved. Most of the railroad com
panies operating tugboats granted the
demands Of the men, but several
commercial companies still held out.
Many freight vessels were unable to
dock on account of the scarcity of
tugboats, but there was little delay
in the docking OF passenger vessels.
Negotiations between the engineers
and firemen and their employers con
tinued and a satisfactory settlement
was expected
About a thousand dock laborers
went on strike in Brooklyn for an in
crease in wages, hampering the move
ment Of freight by one large docking
concern.

Gen. Scott is authorized to exchange

as soon as the latter has obtained the

1t is expected President Wilson will
issue a formal statement regarding the
agreement as soon as word comes that
Gen. Carranza has approved it. It is
known that in substance It provides
for an active campaign by Carranza
troops against bandits in the region
south Of the present lines of the Amer
lean expedition and for the gradual
withdrawal Of the American forces to
the border as the ability Of the Mexi
can troops to police the country ade-
Quately is demonstrated. Use of the
Mexican railways in keeping the
American expedition supplied also is
provided and in return the expeH
tionary forces are pledged to exercise
every possible precaution to avoid
clashes with the townspeople in the
regions in which they continue to act
The limitations of the expedition
under the agreement have not been
disclosed It is understood, however,
that it will hold the present lines for
the time being and not proceed to the
south in any event. The best informa.
ton at the war department as to the
present location Of the American
forces shows that Gen. Pershing is at
