New York.-A freight embargo on
coastwise traffic was announced by
the cOastwise steamship companies

gineerS along the Atlantic and CUR
coasts. The order for the embargo
was forwarded to shipping points by
the United States Railroad Admins
tration. The embargo has been fore
Swallowed for several days as con-
sequence of the rapid piling up OF
great quantities of freight, much OF IL
perishable, at Atlantic and Gulf ports
through the tying up of shiDs by the
strikers G. FL. Brown, Secretary or
the Seamen's Union, claimed that the
entire shipping of the country virtual
ly would be tied up within two weeks
if the struggle continued.
The dsorganization of the merchant
service through sailors deserving the
coast for the harvest fields also was
predicted by the union leaders. They
asserted that Seamen were leaving
port in droves" for the farms, where
harvest hands were being paid 80 and
Sc a day, with board and lodging.
A renewal of, disturbances stirred the
police to greater vigilance along the
water front. Seamen's boarding houses
are being watched particularly. as the
strikers are said to have been incensed
by reports that these places were be-
ing used as strike-breaking agencies.
A crowd of striking seamen, IS strong,
wrecked the employment office Of Ber-
goff Bros on the Bowery and put to
rout $50 men who had assembled there
to seek employment aon transatlantic
and coastwfse vessels. No arrests
were made.
