children to do and be. Some of us,

devotion We set ourselves to work
to prepare them TO occupy those

selfish efforts. though We may not
proclaim II. we expect our chill

Yet. despite our efforts and ex-
pectations, these dreams as a gen

children's lives do not turn out
either A. happy or As successful as
we had planned them to be; and, to
add to the irony of the situation,

STRIKE TIES UP WORK
 IN NEW ORLEANS DOCKS
LOngshoremen Demand New Contract At Higher Wages TO Cover
 Five Years.

New Orleans, Sept. 19.-Leaders Of the 2,10O longshoremen who went on strike today when employing steve dores refused to sign a new contract at increased wages for five years, an- nounced tonight that a joint meeting of longshoremen and screwmen would be held tomorrow to discuss arbitra- ton proposals by the New Orleans Steamship association, agents for several ship lines.
 The steamship association proposed hat the differences be submitted to local adjustment committee to be ap- pointed by the national adjustment commission at Washington. The strikers, it was proposed, should re- turn to work under wage terms all ready agreed upon, pending settle ment of the differences by the com mission.
 While the screwmen have not gone on strike their work automatically ceased when the longshoremcn were called out. Screwmen's demands for wages increases and improved work ing conditions are identical with those of the longshoremen but have not been considered.
 With the exception of few wharves where union men are not employed, no freight was moved from the docks this afternoon or tonight.
 The shipping situation was further complicated tonight when 800 negro freight handlers, members of the Longshoremens association. voted tt % on strike tomorrow unless theil demands for wage increase of 4( cents an hour are met by the con tra CtOrs.
