cent. of the six hundred boats operated by private owners are manned other than by union men.
 Chief Inspector John Daly of the police department declared tonight that if the Staten Island municipal ferries were, affected the police patrol would be used until crews could be put aboard the ferries.
 Captain W. H. Maher, vice presi- dent of the Marine Workers affiliation, and Mir.

Maher' said, would probably be decided at tomor-' rows meeting of the strike committee.
 He characterized the offers of pri- vate boat owners and railroad admin

 the men as a stage proposition" and added that the men were determined
 that all boats must be considered to- gether.
 The demands of the men, he said, were the same as they were in the strike in January, namely, an eight hour day with time and one-h half for overtime and a sliding increase, in wages which, he estimated, averaged 90 per cent.
 MT, Maher denied reports that the Macy award granted a. general eight hour day and claimed that it affected ] only 160 of the TAT boats in the harbor and that 100 of the 160 were ferryboats which, he said, have had an eight hour 1 day for twenty years.
