MAKING EFFORT TO AVERT
TIE-UP OF WATER FRONT
Negotiations Between New York
Harbor Workers and Boat Own
ers to Prevent Strike.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Eforts to
avert a strike by harbor workers that
would tie up the New York water
front were renewed here today by
committees representing the Boat
owners Association and the Marine
Workers Affiliation.
For about two months the rival
factions have been unable to reach an
agreement, the Marine Workers Affili-
alton demanding a basi ht-hour
day. A wage increase also asked.
The War Labor Board was appealed
to, and an armistice was declared
while this body acted.
The decision of V. Everit Macy, who
was appointed umpire, that an eight
hour day might be enforced on boats
where there were double crews, was
not accepted by the Marine Workers
Affiliation, and all efforts of the War
Labor Board failed. A second general
strike was averted Saturday by a
conference between representatives of
the Boat Owners Association and the
workers.
At the final conference today il is
expected that a practical solution to
the question will be reached.

the success of those enterprises.

"a sympathy which does not dis
play itself merely in the contact of

between great bodies that consti-

is that we are expressing in it, and

this great silent mass of people
who constitute the United States.
and that as their servants it is
our business, as it is our privilege,
to find out how we can best assist

the private affairs upon which the

ceraber 10 last and took up his head
quarters at that hostelry. Gen Har-
ries, who for years commanded the
National Guard of the District of Co.
lumbia, was the irst American gen
eral officer to reach Berlin. He was
accompanied by Lieuts. Schelling and
Gaiilard.
A bout a month after his arrival
Americans were excited and ince used
by a dispatch from Berlin which
stated that Gen Harries had raised
the American flag over the hotel and
that outraged German citizens had
compelled him to haul it down again.
Those who knew Gen. Harries and
were familiar with his record were
skeptical. pointing out that he was
too good a soldier professionally ever
to have raised a flag unless the rails
ing were perfectly authorized pro-
ceeding. and was far too loyal an
American ever to haul down the flag
anee he had raised it.
Later dispatches proved the falsity
OF the news about Gen. Harries. 1t
appeared that Herr Adlon, proprietor
of the hotel, had unwisely hoisted
the flag, probably to curry favor
that Adion's fellow citizens had COM
PEELED him to take it in again, and
that the American officers were in

STOCKHOLM. Sweden, March g. -
Nikolai Lenin's latest utterance is an
open letter to European and Ameri-
can labor for publication in the for
eign bolshevist press in commenlora-
tion of the outbreak of the Russian
revolution. He sneers at "Gompers
and company" He terms Gompers "a
traitor to socialism and a despicable
fiunky." Further, he says he has just
revealed himself as an imperialstic
and reactionary agent of American
and other national capitalists.
Says Allies Are Quarreling.
The Russian boIshevk chief says
that the allies are now beginning to
quarrel over the sharing of Russia.
"Wiison's and the Wilsonites' hypo-
critical phrases about democracy and

men" he says, who understand that
only the destruction of the middle
class, the annihilation of middle-cIass
legislative institutions and the estab-
Iishment of a proletariat dictatorship
can safeguard the victory of social

The rest of the letter is mainly de-
voted to denunciations of Philip
Sheidemann and the majority social
lists in all lands. Despite frequent trib-
utes to socialism he draws his thick,
black line not between socialism and

bolshevism and every other political
creed, socialism included.
