DEADLOCK
CONTINUES
Freight Congestion in New
York Harbor Grows
More Serious.
COAL BARGES HAMPERED
Conditions Are Demoralized.
Transit Companies Appeal
to Authorities for Aid.

New York, March 13.-The ham
pered movement of coal bargeS ana
the congestion of freight on the piers
became more serious today as the
striking harbor workers and the enl-
ploying boat owners continued In
deadlock over the terms of a settle
ment OF their controversy over wages
and hours of labor.
The demorallzed conditions OF the
coal barge service have resulted In
so diminishing the supply OF steam
coal in the city that transit compa-
MES have appealed to the public serv-
ice commission and the naval author
tiles for aid. A complete shut-down
Of service on the elevated and sub
| way lines of the Interborough Rapid
Transit company was predicted today
by Frank Hedley, general manager OF
the company, when the four days
supply on hand is exhausted. Simi-
lar conditions are said to exist in
Brooklyn and manufacturing plants
throughout the city are beginning to
feel the pinch of the coal supply
shortage.
Macy Terms Inadequate.
Washington, March 1S.-Represent-
atives of the war and navy depart
ments and of the shipping board in
New York today were expected to
inform ship and barge owners that
unless they expressed a willingness
to arbitrate and make concessions
with and to the New York harbor
strikers that government business
will be diverted to other Atlantic
ports at the expense of New York.
These officials frankly admitted that
they regard the terms OF the recent
Macy award as inadequate, pointing
out that many of the strikers were
gstting less money under the award
than they were at the time of the
first strike.
AS the port of New York is now so
congested that the situation is becdm-
ing serious, they had practically
reached the opinion today that radi-
cal steps will have to be taken to re-
lieve il. 1t was not thought probable
in official circles that the war and
navy departments would use their
war powers, which may be called up
any time before the final treaty of
peace is signed. until all other means
have been exhausted. However. labor
department officials We're understood
to favor taking this drastic action
unless results are obtained through
other channels Immediately.
Early Settlement.
Washington, March 13.--Early
settlement Of the New York harbor
strike was predicted today by de-
partment OF labor officials when they
were advised that some of the pri-
vate boat owners were willing to ac-
ccpt proposals Of their employers.
How many owners had reached this
decision was not stated

URGES lRELAND'S. NEED
Dublin Dispatch Played Up by Lon-
don Daily Mail.

London. March 13.-Special promi-
nence is given by the Mail to a Dub
lin dispatch representing the situa-
tion in Ireland as being extremely bad
and maintaining that the need OF ef-
fective f-government is more ur-
gent than ever before.
"Now that the Sim Fein members
Of the house Of commons have been
realized" the dispatch says. there
will be another assembly of the Irish
parliament, which will probably be a
very troublesome affair without au-
thortitative administration to balance
its activities. Labor troubles OF the
greatest import are growing and it is
impossible for the British govern
ment to handle them. There is bare
ly section of Irish labor which is
not preparing Of threatening to strike
for demands which no employer can
possibly grant. The well-intentioned
schemes of Gen. Viscout French. lord
lieutenant, for social and industrial
Improvement, have .one by the board
and there is dangerous situation
which can be handled only by an
Irish parliament"

FIXING NEW FRONTIERS
Supreme Council Discusses
Aerial Terms to Be Imposed
on Germany,
(By John T. Parkerson.) }

Paris, March 13.-U. N. S.)-The
fixing of Germany's new eastern and
northern frontiers engaged the atten-
tion of the peace delegates today
There are at least two sets OF de-
mands before the envoys, one from
Poland in the east; the other from
Denmark in the north.
The supreme interallied war coun-
Gil did not meet again today, but will
meet tomorrow.
The following formal communique
was issued:
"The supreme war council met on
Wednesday from to s o'clock in the
afternoon. The aerial terms to be
imposed upon Germany in the pre-
liminaries of peace were discussed.
The articles drafted by the military
experts were examined in detail and
adopted. The meeting will take place
tomorrow afternoon at O'clock"
Another commission is to be estab-
lished as soon as the preliminary
treaty is signed to straighten cut de-
tails for the regulation of waterways
affected by the war and probably
railways as well. If the commission's 3
authority is extended to railway
lines, one of the biggest problems
will be furnished by the Bagdad line.
(There is already a commission
dealing with the internationaiiZatio
of authority over the railway lines.
Tie Bagdad line was to have been
part of Germany's great mitteleuropa
scheme for an unbroken commercial
route from Hamburg to the Persian
gulf
General satisfaction is felt today
over the recommendation -of the
waterways commission that tho
Rhine shall be made a free waterway
for the use of all nations and that the
Kiel canal shall be open to the traf-
fic of the whole world.
Further reports from Germany by
American and other experts emphas
iZe the necessity of speedily feeding
the country. 1t is considered doubt
full if the present government could
withstand another. revolution, which
is said to be imminent unless sup
plies are forthcoming.
TIE coming of President Wilson
tomorrow is expected to give impetus
to the work oil the conference. The
American delegates have a great ac-
emulation of reports and other data
for the president to go over as soon
as Re arrives.
