FOR PORT TREATY
New York State Authorities
Urged to Action by Cham
ber of Commerce
BIZ Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 17-Author-
tiles of the city of New York were to-
day urged by the State Chamber of
Commerce of New York to vote for the
adoption of the amendment to the
proposed treaty between New York
and New Jersey for the establishment
of a central bi-state port authority
along the line drafted by the commits
sion which has been for the past three
years diligently studying this subject"
Alfred E. Marling, president of the
Chamber of Commerce. in a letter TO
the board of appointment and the
Board of Aldermen said his organi-
zation 'stand with the many other or
ganizations and civic bodies who
earnestly desire that the treaty be
amended" to overcome the handicap
to port development and administra-
ton.
NO other port in the world is so
situated" he said. "yet our port has
been called upon to handle over fifty
per cent. of this country's foreign
trade and it is essential TO the well
fare not only of this city but of the
nation that all handicapps 30 an eff
cient be removed"

No SETTLEMENT
IN BOAT STRIKE
Refusal to Meet Delegations of
Strikers Met With Counter
Refusal
By Associated Presa

NEW YORK, March 17:-Private
boatowners and their employees re-
manned in deadlock today with little
prospect that compromise agreement
could be reached for a settlement of
the harbor strike. The refusal of the
boatowners to meet delegations of the
men If their union leaders were pres
ent was met with a counter refusal
by the harbor men to join in a coun-
ell attended by the boatowners asso-
citation. The men have offered TO
settle with the owners on the same
basis as they did with the war and
navy department and the shipping
board.
James L. Hughes, federal concilia-
tor, returned TO New York today to

Father Griffen Comma
To So. Amboy Church;
Father GaIassi to STAY

of this city, and of st. Anthony's r.
G. church of Port Reading, but that
Father Galassi refused to accept. Eff
forts to learn more about Father
Galassi's rumored appointment this
morning from Bishop Walsh resulted
in the bishop denying that the local
rector had received any appointment.
Father Diielsie, of Camden, has
been named by Bishop Walsh to sue
ceed Father Griffen to the pastorate
of the st. Joachims church. st.
Joachims is the largest Italian church
in the Trenton diocese. There are
about $1,000 parishoners there and a
school is attached to the church. The
appointment of Father Galassi to such
a church would be a large promotion
for him, and it is thought, was offered
to him as a prom otion in view of the
wonderful work he has done here
and at Port Reading. The Rev. James
Bulfin, local man, is attached 10
st. Joachims Church.
Efforts were made this morning to
learn from Father Galassi whether or
not he had been offered the pastorate
of the st. Joachim church but he did
not care to make any assertion. The
Bishops denial of any appointment
did not however signify that no offer
had been made to Father Galassi.
Father Griffen will succeed Mgr.
Brady, who died on February 2 at
South Amboy. 1t is believed that he
will take charge of the parish this
week. Father Griffen comes from
one OF the largest parishes in the
state to carry on the work of Mgr.
Brady.
Another appointment made 'by
Bishop Walsh of interest to residents
in this vicinity is that of Rev. DIR.
John w. Norris, of Deal, back to his
home city. New Brunswick, where he
will be permanent rector Of st.
Peters church, succeeding the late
Monsignor OGrady.

SEE REACTION
IN GERMANY
Suppression of SpartaCan Re-
volts Shows Military and
oMnarChiSt Reaction
BU Associated Press.

LONDON, March 17-Berlin dis
patches report that the suppression
of the recent Spartacan outbreak there
has shown that a military and mon
archsit reaction is growing and over
shadowing the new government.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Mail who has arrived here, says that
President Ebert, Chancellor Scheide-
mann and Minister of War Noske,
merely are puppets. He declares that
for the purpose of retaining power
they have all allowed members of the
military caste to reappear as organiz-
ers of the new Republican army.
These men are the real governors
of Germany" he says, they make the
edicts and Chancellor Scheidemann
and his colleagues willingly sign
them"
Similar testimony is given by other
from Berlin, some
stating that the capture of the sub
urbs of Lichtenberg has been inten-
tionally porlonged with a view to ex-
terminating the Spartacans.
According to a dispatch to the Mail,
the Spartacan revolt will certainly re-
cur in ever increasing force unless
a miracle happens. 1t adds that Herr
Noskes forces have been recruited
by bribes and promise of rations and
that 10 this may be attributed some of
the food shortage in Berlin.

quiet at Tien Using where there was
trouble last week between American
soldiers and japanese and that he
was sending a full report Of the in
eident by mail. The department in
structed him to report all important
facts by cable Immediately.
The fact that Minister Reinsch
thought IL unnecessary 10 send his re-
port by cable is regarded here as in
dicating that he did not attach great
importance TO the matter.
