Ships To Be Unloaded
Inside OF Port 10 Let
Other Vessels Enter

Buenos Aires. Thursday. March 20.
In it's efforts to solve the difficulties
caused by the port strike the govern
ment today formally ordered the long,
shoremen to unload the coastwise
steamers inside the port to permit the
entry of transatlantic vessels. The
longshoremen. however. refused to
comply with the governments de-
mand.
The owners Of the coasting steam-
ers have announced that they will tie
up all their vessels Indefinitely as
soon as they are unloaded and make
no further attempt to keep the traf-
fic with the river ports. Paraguay
and Patagonia. :
The packing house Of La Blanca
was arnong the firms ~boycotted in
January. Today the Blanca concern
attempted to load a transatlantic
steamer without employing y union
stevedores and sent a tug laden with
frozen beef to be loaded on the steam
err in h roads. Z
The tug was pursued from the
shore by two launches carrying strik-
ers who beat the captain and crew
and forced them to abandon their
posts and enter the launches. The
captain and his men were carried to
the shore where marines rescued
them and arrested the strikers.
