STRIKE BENEFITS PORT
Business of New York Now Being
Diverted to This City

That Philadelphia will benefit com
mercially from the longshorcmen $
strike in New York. was the expressed
opinion today of Director Webster. of
the Department Of Wharycs, Docks and
Ferries.
According to Director Webster
while there are no definite statistics
to give out showing actual companies
that have diverted freight to this port
nevertheless many New York firms have
had representatives here to look over
the ground and he is optimistic that an
actual gain to the port can be counted
on within a few days.
According to advices from New York
the firm of l.. L. Foulkrod & Co,
foreign and domestic freight forward =
ers. are urging diverting shipments to
Philadelphia and Boston.
