TO END TlE-UP IN NEW YORK
HARBOR AND MAN BOATS.
TO OPERATE UNDER SCALE
AGREED UPON BY RAILROAD
lSTRATlON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, March 14.--COmmnn-
deering by the government of Il fleet
oF harbOr craft sufficient to restore
traffic in New York'S Slrike-bOund
Inrbor to normal conditions, has been
decided by officials of The army, navy
and United States Shipping Board, ac-
cording to apparently authentic re-
ports
When the boats are taken over by
government agencies they will be
manned by union crews operating
under Il basic eight-horr day on the
wnge scale recently agreed upon with
the Railroad Administration.
Officials of the New York Boat
owners Association, whose refusal to
grant boat workers demands after
the workers had refused to abide by
il National War Labor Board award,
precipitatrd the strike, asserted that
the Il. McI.ain Transportation Com
pany already had been informed by
government officials that its boats
would be Communicated unless they
were Immediately chartered to the
government.
Thomas L. Dcahunty, president OF
the Marine Workers affilation. after
attending n meeting of the army, navy
and Shipping Board officials, declared
there was no doubt but what the
government will commander the boats
of the private owners if they refuse
to charter them"
James l.. Hughes, federal cOncilia-
tor, who has been working for II set
tlement OF the strike for several days,
issued the following statement:
"The army, navy and Shipping
Board have arranged 10 put the Rail
road Administration wage scale and
working conditions into effect, and
negotiations are progressing favOrably
toward complete and satisfactory set
tlcment which will restore normal
conditions and serve the interest Of
the general public"
The difficulty in obtaining coal for
army and navy ships was solved when
representatives of both branches OF
the service chartered twelve boats
from Il private firm to carry coal to
these vessels.
Union men agreed to operate the
boats on condition that they were used
solely for government work. Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels directed
Rear Admiral Usher, cOmmandant of
the Third Naval District, not to allow
the Use of navy tugs TO tow barges
for private firms.

No Secret Treaties.

Paris.-It has been learned that the
status of secret treaties and conven-
tiOns made during the war again has
arisen. Information obtained today
from some of the American delegates
to the peace conference was that the
action of majority of the commits
sion dealing with Grecian boundaries
in declaring that the treaty of London
of 1915 was effective will not be per-
mitted to go unchallenged and could
not become effective unless ratified
by the council of ten, which they as
serted would refuse its approval. The
decision relative to the treaty of Lon
don, which is one Of those secret con-
ventiOns made during the war. is re-
garded as of the gravest Importance,
it being declared to be IN direct con-
flict with one of President Wilson's
fourteen points, concerning such agree
ment and one relative to the right of
self-determination of small nations. 1t
is held that If the decision of the ma
jOrity of the commission was upheld
IT would of necessity carry with 1t af-
firmatiOn Of Italy's claims to nearly
all the eastern shore of the Adriatic.
