President Wilson Urges Settle ment of Marine Workers Strike
APPEALS TO PATRIOTISM
Hopes Private Boat Owners Will Ac- ccpt Finding-Roard May Not Be Able to Meet Before Monday Be cause Of Lack of Quorum.

Washington, Jan. H. President Wilson today cabled a request to the war labor board to take up again the case Of the marine workers strike in New York and proceed to make @ finding.
 Makes Patriotism Plca.
 The president said he was sure the war and navy departments, the snip ping board and the railroad adtnll1l6- traitor would use every power 10 make the finding effective ana that he was confident also that private boat owners would feel constrained by pa- triotisr2 to accept the boards recom- mendations.
 Beard Urged to Do Utmost.
 Basil M Manly, joint chairman Of the war labor board with William H. Taft, said today the beard would take up the presidents request at once, but he was not sure a quOrum could be mustered for action before Mon day. The board also was requested by the pres iGcnt to use all means within It's powers to stabilize conul- tions generally during the present period of industrial transition arising from the war.
 The presidents cahlegralm follows:
 Considers Emergency, Serious.
 "I have been informed by the sec retary of labor as to the serious sit uation which has developed in the port of New York and the strike or marine workers which seriously crlp- pied the movements of troops and supplies. Consider this a very grave emergency and understand that 1t mas arisen because the parties to tho con- I-o h. mission to the national war labor board.
 More Work fOr War Board.
 q earnestly request that you take LID this case again and proceed to make a finding. I appreciate the hon. tsty and sincerity Of the hoardsln an nouncing on Wednesday ttat 1t could mt promise a final decision ir the controversy without d formal subnnis- sion from all parties, but l am suro that the war and navy dep2rtme ents, the shipping beard and railroad ad- rr1nistration and thy other govern mental agencies interested il the con +roversy will use all the power Which they possess to make your finding effective, and I also believe that prl- yate boat owners will feel constrained by every consideration CT patriotism in the present emergency to accept any recomm enda1ion which your board may make. Althorgh the na- tionaI war labor board, up to the signing of the armistice, was con cel-neI solely with the prevention o1 stoppage of war work and the mann tenance of production of materials es- sential to the conduct of the war, take this opportunity also of saying that it is my earnest hope that in the present period of industrial transl- ton arising from the war the board should use all means within it's power to stabilize conditions and to prevent industrial dislocation and warfare.
 Mr. Manly's first step was to ask the war and navy departments, the ship ping board and the railroad admin istration what would be their atti- tude toward any decision made by the board in accordance with the presi dents request. He was informed promptly that all four department: would abide by his decision.
