AS a possible means of solution It
has been suggested that the mayor.
| president of the chamber OF commerce,
head of the Rotarians or other busi-
ness mems group call mass meeting
for the purpose of discussing ways
and means for bringing about such an
adjustment cs will protect the business
of the local port.
The fight is visibly between the
shipping merchants and the steve
dores on one side and the local long
shoremen backed by the international
association nthe other.
Ships Turn Away.
II is known that one large cargo
ship the Oregon which came in port
a few days ago with mahogany logs
failed to discharge here and was sent
to an Atlantic port; another that was
to have taken 10000 bales of cotton
is said to have been diverted to CAL
weston after having arrived off the bar
and the cargo, much of which had
been assembled here, was reshipped
to Galveston, 1t is stated.
FOR the past several days IL has been
noticeable that not a single cargo
ship has entered the local port, and
according to the longshoremen's COM
mittee there will not be any more
ships for cargo of consequence to
foreign or home ports until some ad-
justment is reached and they assert
that repeatedly the shippers and steve
dores have decided to meet with them
for the purpose of threshing out the
differences.
If ships are loaded here by unor-
ganized workmen they will not be un-
loaded at any port where the l. L. A.
is recognized. according to the local
longshoremen, and IL they should dis
charge at an open port they would be
blacklisted just the same and could not
load at a union port. This would ap-
ply not alone to the one ship, but to
all her sister ships maintained and op-
Grated by the same concern, IT is
claimed. For this reason IL is declared
that all Emergency Fleet Corporation
ships alIocated to this port will be di-
verted until the trouble is settled.
Crisis Coming Soon.
The difference between the shippers
and stevedores with the longshoremen
have been smouldering for the past
several weeks and at times there were
indications that an adjustmnt would
be reached but so far none has, and the
crisis is expected just following the
ooJoeiiicht vi the dHHuai lnternation-
al Association meeting to be held in
Galveston opening on July II. The To-
cal longshoremen will be represented
at the meeting by VIM. A. ShackIeford
and Geo. w. Bombay.
Prior to the meeting OF the Inter
national at Galveston there win be an
annual meeting OF the Gulf Coast dI-
vision held at Houston. opening on
July z. Messrs. Shackleford and Bonf-
fay will leave tomorrow for the pur-
pose of attending these meetings.

Minneola, n. Y, July 2.-Lieutenant
Colonel Frederick w. Lucas, of the
royal air force, one of the advance
party here, arranging for the recep-
tion of the British dirigible now en-
route to the United States from Scot
land. said today he was without ad-
vices as to the time the giant airship
might be expected to arrive. He was
inclined to believe, however, it would
not be before late Friday.
Everything is in readiness to re-
ceive the craft at Roosevelt field,
where she will be moored while wait
ing to put back Immediately to Eng
land.
Three special wireless stations con-
structed at the field in connection
with flight win be tuned up to catch
the first message from the dirigible.
Officers expect communication VIII
be established when she comes With
in 500 miles of the coast.
1t is expected the landing will not
be made until after dark in order to
permit the gas bag to cool and its
contents to contract, thus decreasing
the lifting tendency of a dirigible
heightened by a long flight. More
than one thousand members of spe-
cial balloon companies, contributed
by American army and navy authori-
ties will be on the field to assist in
making the giant air liner fast to its
moorings.
A special fire detachment will be on
guard to prevent fires starting in the
vicinity and endangering the air
ship.
