into the question of taking over the
boats in New York harbor in order
to end the stike and thus relieve the
necessities of the civil population.
New York, Jan. 13.-The private
owners of the New York boats have
refused to submit their side of the
controversy to the War Labor Board
at the equest of President Wilson.
New York, Jan. 13.-In response
to the appeal of President Wilson
cabled from Paris to the National
War Labor Board to resume their
efforts to settle the strike of the 16,
900 marine workers in New York
harbor, William II. Taft and Basil
M. Manly, the joint chairmen Of the
board, requested the men to return
to their work pending reopening OF
the case.
The request was referred to the
strike committee of the Marine Al
afllition, comprising the six unions
affected, at their meeting at 26 Park
Place and it was unanimously de-
cided to man every one of the 1,100
tugs, lighters and ferries to begin
clearing up the accumulated freight
that had been piling up since har-
Dor traffic was demobilized when
the strike began on Thursday.
President Wilson in his message
to Chairman Taft and Manly said
he considered the strike of the ma
rine workers, which seriously Grip
pied the movement of troops and
supplies" to be q grave emergen-
cy" He said he, felt sure that the
boat owners would respond patriot
ically to any recommendation made
of the Government: wouldunite in ef-
forts to make the decision effective.
Although the War Labor Board, he
said, had been formed to prevent
the stoppage of war work, he hoped
it would continue to "use all means
within its power to stabilize condi-
tions and to prevent industrial dis
location and warfare"
Washington, Jan. 113.-Here is
the cable message from President
Wilson asking the War Labor Board
to take up again the marine work
ers' strike in New York Harbor and
proceed to make finding, which
led the strikers to agree to 60 back
:, to work pending settlement:
II have been informed by tht
Secretary Of Labor as to the serious
| situation which has developed in the
Port of New YORK and the strike o.
marine workers which seriously
crippled the movements of troops
and supplies. Consider this very
grave emergency and understand
that it has arisen because the par
ties to the controversy failed tt
make joint submission to the Ma
tional War Labor Board.
earnestly request that you taxi
up this case again and proceed tt
make a finding. I appreciate thu
honesty and sincerity of the boart
in announcing on Wednesday tina
1t could not promise a final decision
in the controversy without a forma
submission from all parties, but
am sure that the War and Navy De
partments, the Shipping Board, ant
Railroad Administration and an.
other governmental agencies inter
ested in the controversy will use al
the power which they possess tt
make your finding effective, and
also believe that private boat own

recommendation which your boart
may make.
