HARBOR WORKERS
TIE UP TRAFFIC.
WITH A BIG STRIKE.
$4,000 Men Affected; Ferry
Boats, Steam Lighters and
Other Craft Idle
By .4ssoeia:ed Pysss

New York, Jan. 9.--With approx
mately fifteen thousand men affect
ed. the strike of the Marine Work.
ers' Afiiliation went into effect here
at 6 o'clock this morning. AT that
hour ferryboats. steam lighters, tow
boats. coal barges, grainboats and
other harbor craft were at stand
still, according to the strike leaders.
The strike, called Notwithstanding
a'threat by the government to oper-
ate the harbor with soldiers and
sailors. was ordered yesterday when
a conference of the union men and
the boat owners association broke
up following the refusal of the lat
ter TO arbitrate the question of an
eight-hour wage. The War Labor
Board was unable to effect Il settle
ment of the differences.
While the strike ut present has
not been applied to coastwise steam
ers, coastwise tugs, transatlantic
steamships or Long Island Sound
steamers. the labor leaders said ii
might eventually spread to those
lines and throw out of employment
10000 iongshoremen and freight
handlers.
The tieup, according to strike
leaders and transportation officials,
brings New York to a crisis as re-
CARDS food and coal. and they pre-
dict that within "a hours the milk
situation here would be much more
serious. The city's milk supply. al
ready greatly decreased through a
strike of the Dairymen's League,
now will be further depleted. the
strikers say. through inability to get
the milk usually sent here from New
Jersey.
Staten Island. comprising Rich
mond borough of the city, was COM
pletely iso ated by the strike. NUM-
cipal ferryboats plying from Lower
Manhattan and Brooklyn to St
George, Staten Island, made their
last trip~at o'clock, though city
officials had predicted the strike
would not affect that service. The
ferry service between Lower Man
haitian and Brooklyn also stopped.
AS soon as the strike order became
effective hundreds of police reserves
aided by naval reserves, were placed
on guard at the municipal ferry
houses. At that time, strike leaders
predicted that the harbor traffic
would be completely paralyzed.
