The port Of New York was par
alyzed yesterday by n general strike
of harbor workers. The strike, which,
according to conservative estimates,
took 1900 to 5000 men from
their jobs, brought the general COM
merce Of the port to dead standstlll.
As n result of the failure of the en-
ployers, including the United States
Railroad Administration as we'll as
private owners, to meet their demands
for an increase in wages, an eight
hour day and improved working con-
ditions, the marine workers, after
banking their fires and tying up their
craft, quit their posts at O o'clock In
the morning.
Although there were Indications last
night that the strike, in so far as II di-
roctly affects governmental! railroad
and shipping interests in the port. was
in way Of settlement, the close OF the
first day OF the tieup found the private
owners and their striking employees
SO far apart that it was generally con-
ceded that there was little prospect OF
an immediate restoration Of normal
conditions.
