HARBOR STRIKERS
REJECT OVERTURE
Refuse Request for Armistice
and Demand Uncof1l-
ditionai Surrender" "
NEW YORK FACES HUNGER
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 10.-The
strike committee of the marine work
ers' afiiation unanimously voted to-
day to reject the proposal Of A. N.
Smith, eastern regional director of
railroads, for a rty-eight-hour re-
sumption of harbor activities pending
conferences between government, boat
owners and boatmen's representatives,
with the object of attempting settle
ment of the harbor strike.
Just as word was received here of
expected action by President Wilson,
by means of transatlantic cable mes
sage, to attempt a settlement of the
strike which has tied up all harbor
traffic, officers Of the marine workers
afiliation declared no solution would
be accepted other than unconditional
surrender" OF the boat owners. whose
refusal to arbitrate their employees
demands for higher wages and an
eight-hour day precipitated the walk
out.
No "Individual Bargaining"
In addition to declaring that "un-
conditional surrender" would be de-
manded, President DeIahunty of the
Marine Workers Affiliation. asserted
that there will be no individual bar
gaining, not even with the railroads.
1t is the sentiment of the men that the
strike must be settled in its entirety
by both railroad and Independent boat
operators"
At the same time William Maher,
vice president of the Master Mariners
been informed that the Army trans
port service intended to prefer charges
against two fugboat officers in Army
service. He declared there would be
no settlement of the dispute II these
men were penalized. He said that
intendent Of the Army piers at Ho-
boken. had said he would file charges
in Washington against Theodore
Fisher and Albert Pettinger, captain
and engineer. respectively. for laying
up their Army tug without order.
Steps Taken to Deliver Foods.
Meantime, with the boatmen's at
titude giving rise to fears of a long
drawn-out deadlock, the railroad ad
ministration completed arrangements
which were expected by nightfall to
re-establish on a normal basis the
city's supply of milk and perishable
foods.
The railroad officials, whose ferries,
lighters and barges ordinarily bring
thousands Of tons Of provisions into
Manhattan every day, undertook on
an extensive scale the rerouting of these
shipments.
Express and motor truck consian-
ments from nearby New Jersey points
were ordered brought into the city
through the North river tunnels. while
incoming foodstuffs from more distant
sections were billed to the metropolis
by way Of Buffalo and the New York
Central railroad. In like manner,
heavy shipments from the Long Island
vegetable storage centers, most of
which used the East river ferries,
were brought across the bridges or
through the Pennsylvania-LongI Island
tunnel.
At Mr.. Smiths Office 1t was stated
that the re-routing orders had been
put into effect this morning and. with
right of way given to the necessities
of life, it was expected that actual
suffering as a result of the strike
would be reduced to minimum.

Borrowed Ak To
Break Into House.;
Occupants Absent

Was robbery the motive that prompt
ed the foreible entry into a residence
at 1891 Yinton avenue q few days ago?
Residents living near tho house are ask
Ing themselves this question, following
the strange actions Of persons who are
said to have allayed suspicion by repre-
scnting themselves to have been fully
authorized to enter the house,
Il, Vaughan Gasduet, civil engineer,
moved into the house about July |, and
a few days & was at home, but some
neighbors are of the opinion that the
family has been out OF town for at least
a couple of days.
The curtain rose on the mystery when
two strangers told Mrs, Lewis II, Hardy,
living at 1903 Vinton, that they had
permission to enter the dwelling. Mrs.
Hardy says she does not feel free to
discuss particulars of the case In view
OF the absence of the owner OF the
dwelling, However, It Is understood
the strangers borrowed an AK from Mrs,
Hardy, The rear door of the house
bears uninistakable signs OF having
been attacked with a sharp Instrument,
An effort apparently had been made
to get into the house by ripping off a
window screen, az a screen on a window
near the rear Of the house had been
partially ripped loose. Finding the
window locked, attention apparently
was switched TO the rear door. The
rear porch Is entirely inclosed In lattice
work Several strips OF lattice were cut
through rear the lock and II hole forced
in the screen. The pieces of lattice, re-
moved were left on the steps leading UP
TO the door, BY means of the hole in
tho door il was unlocked from the in
side. The loot leading into the kitchen
was next attacked, the lock being bored
out and removed.
Whether anything was taken from the
house tould not be learned.
