SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
pv As,oeisted Prs.s


 Washington March 13.-On the basis of information reaching them today, of- ficials of the labor and navy depart ments believed an early settlement of the strike of boat workers employed by private concerns at New York was in sight.
 official adyices to the navy depart ment said the New York Towboat ex- change had guaranteed to deliver all coal required by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company and thus prevent a tie-up of transportation facilities in New York city. Officials interpreted this message as meaning that the ex- change had agreed to meet the de- mands of their employees. as they re- garded this as the only means open to the exchange to, operate enough boats to supply the transportation company s fuel needs.
 Department of labor officials were ad- vised that some of the private boat owners were willing to accept proposals of their employees, but the message did not say how many owners had reached this decision.
 Two steps taken by the war and navy departments were expected by officials to hasten the end of the strike. One was the refusal today to permit army and navy floating property at New York to be used to move coal into Man haitian and Brooklyn. The war depart ment held that such use of it's craft would be in violation of the agreement with it's employees. while the navy de- partment was advised by its legal of ficers that such action would be il- legal.
 Decision of the two departments to give employees on their harbor craft at New York the same wages and living conditions as provided by the railroad administration for it's workers also was expected by officials to help bring the strike to an end.

TOLD TO SUBMIT GREY ANCES

w ashinston. March l3.-Director Gen eral Hines tonight called upon members of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks employed by the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. who went on trike Tuesday demanding the discharge of the federal auditor of the railroad. to submit their grievances to the railroad administration board of adjustment No. Mir. Hines said the striking clerks had refused to take advantage of machinery provided for such controversies. mot Nithstanding the fact that the Brother hood of Railway Clerks, of which they are members agreed to submit all griev- ances to that board, and has repre- sentative on the board
 By failing to submit their case the director general said the striking clerks would "discredit the efforts of the rail- road administration, injure their own in- terests. and seriously hamper the ef- forts of those who are sincerely trying to continue to protect and promote the reasonable interests of railroad em- ployes."
 MT. Hines said it was indispensable that such controversies should be han dled in an orderly manner. If this is not done. he said. not only would the efforts of the railroad administration to promote the just interests of labor be rendered unsuccessful but ''the employees who are responsible for interfering with these orderly processes will put them selves in position before the public which will react injuriously upon the em- ployes and their future ipterests.''
 The members of the brotherhood were asked by the director general to consid- CT that during the last N months more progress has been made toward improve ing the wages and working conditions of railroad employees as a whole than was ever made before''
 & He said that in the railroad business particularly there must be recogni- tion of authority and submission to discipline :"
 Otherwise, he added. the railroad busi- ness would become chaotic and the pub lie, which in the last analysis has to pay the bill, would resent the resulting ex- cessive costs and inefficient service and the reaction would be exceedingly un- favorable to the employees themselves.

 The soldiers awaited the President eagerly, and he raised his hat as he ob- served their anxiety. Mrs. Wilson fol- lowed the President, smiling graclously as she proceeded along the walk between the quai and the train.
 The President inspected the French guard of honor, consisting of several companies of French marines dressed in their picturesque uniforms, who were standing at present arms" The Presi- dent smiled at the men amiably and then complimented their commander This was ' the last of the meager ceremonial before khe President entrained for Paris
