Harbor Men Halt
Strike Preparations
Their Demands To Be Consid-
cred by National War
Labor Board

All preparations for strike of the
harbor workers Of this port were called
off yesterday, following the announce
ment Of Paul A. Vaccarelli, international
ice-president OF the Longshoremen's
Association, that the demands of the
men for better wages and working con-
ditions will be taken up by the National
War Labor Board next Monday.
"Mr. Gompers discussed the situation
with the delegates representing the
various unions" said Vaccarelli, "and
then put the matter up to Secretary
of Labor Wilson, who agreed with him
that the situation here should be dis
posed of at an early date 1t was then
agreed that we should return to New
York, put our case in shape, and re-
turn next week with the papers When
we finally got down to brass tacks
was surprisingly easy to get what the
men have been urging for months, q
hearing.
"The board will take up the demands
OF every class Of workers allied with
the Marine Affiliation, including those
not affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. This includes the
various classes OF boatmen affiliated
with the longshoremen, the engineers,
the deckhands, the lightermen and the
masters. mates and pilots.
"What the men ask is an increase
in proportion to the increased cost Of
living and the increased earnings of
the boats on which they are employel i.
Great as has been the increase in the
cost of living, the increase in boat
earnings is many times greater"

Bets Speed Ship
Construction Work

CHICAGO. April 11.-Wagering OF
large sums of money by employees of
shipyards on the Pacific coast and At
lantic coast, as to which can turn out
wooden ships the faster, are being
made, it was learned to-day in state
ment made by Meyer Bloomfield, Of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, who
has just returned from an inspection
OF Pacific coast shipbuilding activities.
Recently. said Mr.. Bloomfield. the
management of an Oregon shipyard
wagered $4,000 that its yard would
turn out more ships in a given time
than a company in Fall River, Mass.
The employees of the Oregon yard
learned of the wager and committee
of workmen at once went to the Offices
OF the company and requested that the
employees might take over the entire
bet themselves. This request was
granted, Mr.. Bloomfield said, with the
result that work in both the Oregon
and Massachusetts yards is now at top
speed.
Pacific coast yards are now working
al 80 per cent of their efficiency, said

Defence Society
Attacks Enerny
Insurance Bill
1t Exposes Plan to Reinvest
German Companies
Funds Here

The American Defence Society yes
Legislature and to Governor Whitman
against the passage of bill recently
presented in the Senate and Assembly
under the terms of which German in
surance interests, barred from the
United States by the operation of the
trading with the enemy act. may retain
hold on the situation.
The bill in question, sponsored by
Senator Towner and Assemblyman
Gardner, amends the insurance law by
permitting the investment, in COM
panies chartered in this state, of the
capital and surplus in this country OF
German-owned insurance companies
These funds are now in the custody OF
A. Mitchell Palmer, custodian of alien
enemy property. who is lquidating the
Legislature would permit the invest
ment of these funds in New York com
panieS.
This, Richard NJ. Hurd, chairman of
the society, points out in his kilograms
to members of the Legislature, Gov
ernor Whitman and Secretary McAdoo
means that Germans would not only be
able to retain their insurance interests
here, but would at tic same time have
all of their old facilities for spying on
the country.
Of the Legislature Mr.. Hurd asks a
public hearing on the bill, while he
asks the Governor to veto the bill in
the event of its being rushed through
IN the closing days Of the session.
Calls Bill "Barcfaced"
l.,
ment issued yesterday, proposes t.
continue the activities of the German
and Austrian i1c insurance companies
which Secretary McAdoo refused to Ii
cense to do business in the United
States and ordered to be lqudated II
is a barefaced attempt to continue
business at the cid stand, Just as
though German fire insurance com
panles were allowed by law to do bust
ness in this country, with the single
exception that a camouhage screen is
thrown over the transaction, by which
the assets are turned over to a do
nestle corporation, owned by the Ger
man fire insurance companies.
"In other words, the law of the
United States is defeated and German
fire insurance companies continue tc
do business in the name of sub-com'
panies which they will ultimately be
able to acquire. The result, if this bill
is passed, would be to hold together
the business of the German companies
their widespread agencies and many OF
their policyholders, thus conserving
the money value of a substantial good
will for the ultimate benefit of the
Germans in Germany. Also, there will
be danger of continuance of the es-
pionage system, the existence whereof
was the principal cause of Secretary
I McAdoo's decision. The offer at public
sale of the stocks of these proposed
new companies will allow German sym
pathizers to purchase back their es-
pionage system.

y. S. Establishes
Naval Base
In the Azores
Portugal Permits American
Forces to Fortify Island
Station

WASHINGTON, April 11.-For the
protection of the Atlantic trade rontes
to Southern Europe, the United States.
with the consent of Portugal, has es-
tabllshed a naval base on the Azores
Islands.
Guns have been landed to begin forti-
ncatlon OF the station. which, in addi-
ton to being used as a naval base for
American submarines, destroyers and
other small craft. also will serve as an
important hom1ng station for American
alrplanes, numbe of which ALREADY
rave been assembled there.
NEGOTIATIONS now are in progress be-
tween the State Department and the
portuguese government to insure full
cooperation between American naval
forces and the local authorities of
Portugal on the islands for the ade-
quate defence of the station.
This action will simplify the task of
projecting the great trade routes. not
only to Southern Europe and the Medi-
terranean, but alsv returning traffic to
South America and Southern Gulf ports
in the United States.
Portugal was not only willing to en-
ter the arrangement, but was eager to
see it perfected, that her own lines of
communication to ner colonial posses
sion would be covered The value of
the new station as base for the re-
pleenishment OF supplies for American
submarines, submarine chasers and de-
stroyers on the voyage to Europe al
ready has been demonstrated.
1t is permissible to disclose these
facts now, because it is known to the
government that they are known in
Germany.
The Azores, a constituent part of
Portugal, lie in the Atlantic, about
$50 miles west of Gibraltar and l,4OO
miles east of New York Many of the
islands are uninhabited, and since the
