Boat Owners Again
Offer IO-EEour I)ay:
3 Unions Refuse 1t
Sixth Week of Tie-Up of the
Port Of New York Begins
With Both Sides UnreaAv
to Listen to Compromise

The harbor strike entered its sixth
week yesterday, with three unions re-
Jecting the proposal of the boat own
ers that they return to work on ten
hour basis, with 10 per cent increase
in wages. The unions voting were
the marine engineers, masters, mates
and pilots and the harbor boatmen.
The vote of the engineers, taken by
secret ballot, was 1856 to 10, and that
of tho masters 164 to 20. The harbor
boatmep's vote was unanimous.
For the present. at least, this ends
peace negotiations, though Paul
Bonynge, counsel for the boat owners.
said last night that his clients would
welcome any practical suggestion for
peace
He declared, however, that his peo-
pie would have to stick by the ten
nour day. Thomas L. Delahunty, lead
ers and the majority faction of the
ing short of tho eight-hour day.
The fight between T. V. O'Conner,
international IN president of the Long
ss,horemcn's Association, who induced
the coal barge men and the lighter
men to make peace with the boat own
ors,, and the majority faction of the
strikers, continued with O'Conner bid
dlng defiance to those who have op-
posed his wishes. In q formal state
ment he declared that he needed no
suggestions from Delahunty and his
a. ass oclates," and that in January he
had notified F. Paul A. Vaccarell, the
Iocal, head of the longshoremen, that
ne did not wish his support for re-
election rs president.
IT,, he said, replying to Vaccarclli's
threat to prefer charges against him
with the organization, "such charges
are made it will be for the executive
council to dispose Of them"
test of strength between O'Con-
Ter and Vaccarelli is expected when
lghtcrs and coal barges not on the
approved lis. of the Marine Workers
are turned over to union
ongshoremen to load or unload O'Con-
Ter insists that the longshoremen will
emain at work. Vaccarelli's answer to
his is that the results will tell tho I
tory better than | can"
New-York tribune., 1919-04-08

carry into effect the ideas expressed
IN the first paragraph of his indorse-
ment.
With regard to the second para
graph Of the Endorsement which calls
for this memorandum, the Secretary
of War declines to receive officially
the communication herewith re-
turned. The communication in cues
tlon has already been published and
there is, therefore, no point in seek
ing to use the Secretary of War as
medium of publicity
Further Discussion Deprecated
"The resort to personal comment
in connection with this subject mat
ter was not begun by General
Crowder. 1t plainly would have been
more fitting and appropriate if never
begun by anybody 1t has certainly
been carried far enough by every
body.
The Secretary of War assumes
Lieutenant Colonel Anscll's earnest
desire IS to concentrate public atten-
ton and official attention upon the
improvement of the system of mill
tary justice, and is quite sure that
a single minded and unbiased con-
slderation of that subject can best
be assured by the abatement of
further personal discussion and
unanimity of effort to work out the
best results for the system which we
all desire to improve"
AnselFs Friends See Threat
Friends of Colonel Ansell assert that
the second paragraph of Secretar,
Bakers letter contains a yelled threat
that the Secretary may institute court
martial proceedings if Ansell persist;
IN his efforts to make public his side
Of the controversy involving Genera
Crowder
1t was recalled to-day that the COM
munication given out officially bv the
Var Department March 10. containing
General Crowder's side of the con
.roversy, contains charges of "bad
[a1th' against Ansell, and that to-dav's
communlcatlon prevents the aggrieveC
officer from procuring equal Publicity
Tor his side of the dispute.
Further efforts TO bring before the
public a defence Of his efforts to modi-
y the present practice of military jus
ice, officers say, will make Colonel
Ansell liable to trial by military
court for disobedience of orders Off
;lally communicated to him in the
memorandum dispatched to-day by Ad-
Iutant General Harris.

Father With Gold
Star on S sleeve
Reports for Son
Only Three Soldiers of Quar-
tet Who We're Arrested for
Auto Theft Come Back to
Face Court After the War

The mills that grind in the County
Court, Brooklyn, tumbled four self
conscious youth, in uniform into the
hopper before Clerk George McClos-
keys desk one morning late in the
summer of 1917. They were Michael
McTigcrt, Joseph Madigan, Thomas
Callow and James McVcigh, who had
enlisted "for a lark" in the National
Guard and soon were to start for
Camp Wadsworth.
To celebrate their impending de-
parture they had taken a ioy ride in
an automobile they had found stand
ing at the curb. The charge against
them was grand larceny. After hear
ing the circumstances the court
paroled them until after the war;
and as they turned to go McCloskey
SAID; go over there and give the
Germans he'll and bring me back d
couple of spiked helmets"
The court clerk got one helmet by
mail, although it was Of the coal scut-
tie instead Of the spiked pattern, and
nothing more was heard Of the quartet
on lark until yesterday.
At first McCloskey did not recognize
with the starred insignia of O'Ryan's
division on their shoulders.
Were reporting to the court" said
one of them crisply "McTigert, Madi-
gan and Callow, of the 1O6th Infantry
states clean. You ought
to see what the boys wrote on his
wooden cross in France-a lot Of them
owed their lives to him."
An elderly man, who wore a mourn
ing band on his sleeve, was standing
behind McTigert, Madigan and Callow'
He was my son." said the man as
McCloskeys eye caught the sombre
band. "Killed in action he was. If
he'd lived he'd be here"
For once the pondcrous court ma
chinery was speeded up. The case of
McTigert, Madigan, Callow and Nc
Weigh deceased took precedence
over everything else on the calendar.
Pleas of guilty Of attempted grand
larceny were entered by the three de-
PENDANTS and they were discharged
forthwith. McCloskey followed them
into the corridor
I've brought back your Boche he'll
NETS for you," said McTigert, zone
from each of us. Mac sent you one
too. He got it before the Huns got
him. We did just what you said and
Ma was always in the thick of it.
There's more than one man of the
lO6th to-day can thank Jimmy Nc
Weigh that he wasn't left in No Mans
Land to die from his wounds"

WASHINGTON, April Request
that the 77th Division be permitted to
parade in New York City as one of the
features Of the Liberty Victory Loan

ury Department to-day by Senator

Kaiser Attempted to
Keep His HoldUpon
Kingdom of Prussia
Count Schulenberg Tells of
Incidents of Abdication of
William; Won Hindenburg
Says Facts Are Not Correct

BERLIN, April Z (By The Associated
Press )-While admitting there was a
difference Of opinion among German
generals as to the practicability of fight
ing to maintain the imperial regime
in November, Count Schulenberg, COM
mander of the Guards Regiment, main
tains in an article on the abdication
of Emperor William, published in the
"Freiheit," that there we're enough
loyal troops to have marched on AK
la-Chapelle and Cologne and put down
the revolution.
The Count says that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Groener,
Prussian War Minister, would not as
sumo the responsibility for such a move,
however, arguing that things had gone
too far and that only the abdication of
Emperor William could save the situa-
ton. The Emperor, he says, was en-
phatic in declaring he did not desire
civil war and that he would not call
upon the army to engage in such a con-
hict.
William Took Advice
Internal conditions becoming worse,
William at length agreed to Count
Schulenberg's advice to abdicate as
Emperor, but not as King of Prussia.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg in
dorsed this course. but in the opinion
of General Groener it was too late. al
ton two weeks earlier. In the mean
time there came rumors from Berlin
OF the lmminence of civil war, and
street fighting was actually begun
there. Finally the Imperial Chancel-
ior telegraphed that civil war might
break out at any moment if the abdi-
cation was not announced at once.
Hurried conferences were held by
the Emperor. the Crown Prince and
the leading generals. the article says.
one OF the commanders asserted there
was feeling among the generals that
the entire army could not be depended
Count Schulenberg says he replied:
mo soldier would break his oath to
the colors."
THE oath to the colors and the
supreme War Lord is only an dea,"
was the rejoinder of General Groener.
Tried to Hold Throne
At this moment Admiral Won Hintze.
the Foreign Minister, entered with
menacing message from Berlin and
rendered his resignation. William then
consented to abdicate as Emperor, but
insisted on retaining his Office as King
of Prussia and head Of the army. The
Imperial Chancellor had in the mean
time, however, announced the abdica-
ton without waiting for the Emper-
or's formal declaration.
Count Schulenberg says that Will
lams flight to Holland was due to
pressure brought to bear on him hv
