MARINE STRIKE is FAR
FROM SETTLEMENT WITH
OTHER SEAMEN JOINED

New York, July 22.-The close
shop demand Of the striking seamen
continues to be the stumbling block
in the way of settlement of the dead
lock that has tied up coastwise trade
for more than two weeks at this and
other Atlantic ports.
No prospect of overtures from the
steamship owners was possible, ac-
cording to officers Of the American
Steamship Associ. IN, who reiterated
previous statements that questions of
wages and hours of work could be ad-
justed, but that the owners would not
agree to the closed shop principle.
The union committees in charge of
the strike declared today that the
men were prepared to remain out in
definitely. With both sides firm in
theoir stand and no compromises it ap
peared probable that the dispute
might be referred to the department
of labor's division on mediation and
conciliation.
The marine engineers, who have
been actively aiding the strikers by
refusing to ship on boats where non
union men have taken the place of
strikers virtually Joined the strike
yesterday when the organization sent
out circulars directing It's members
not to sign for voyages, except for
shipping companies wnich met their
demands. Crews Of tuwboats of sew
eral railroad companies engaged in
hauling coal barges from New York
to New England, have struck, demand
ing SIG more a month. The strikers
on tow boats are not connected with
the striking ocean seamen.

ment Of the present tobacco situation

tion is taken on the part Of all inter

placed on the market at tremendous
sacrifice, therefore, the purpose 6s
this convention is to bring into effect
an organization that will be caDablc
of protecting the interests Of the TO-
bacco growers, both for the present
and at all times in the future; to for
mulate plans and means by which to-
bacco planters can command a live
able price for their tobacco, both for
the present and in the future.
You are urgently requested to be
present at this convention as it is
absolutely necessary that there bo a
a full representation from the entire
tobacco district. Urge al interested
to be there.
