The strike vote was taken after

president of the Marine Workers
affiliation, declared, "the strike will
tie up every ferryboat, steam light

From a Staff Correspondent.

Washington, Jan. S.-(Special. y
w. E. Sharp, Lincoln, and George
A. Lee, Omaha, secretary of the
Potash Products association of Ne
braska, are in Washington to get
affirmative action, if possible, in
stopping The threatened shipments
OF potash from Alsace as indicated
by Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board, now in Europe.
Congressman Kinkaid, who start
ed on active opposition to such
shipments after the Hurley state
ment by appealing to the War trade
board and other potential agencies
OF the government for protection
for domestic potash, told the Ne
braskans that everything possible
had been done to forestal such i'm
portations; that the war trade GARD
had reiterated its ruling that no
foreign importations of potash
would be licensed until after peace
lad been declared, He said he had
every reason to believe that such
importations would be stopped, not
withstanding Mr.. Hurley's state
ment that he would load American
vessels with Alsace potash.
Messrs Sharp and Lee, as repre-
sentatives of the Nebraska potash
producers, realizing that something
must be done at once to get the
domestic product out of storage and

chairman Of the war industries
board, now in Paris:
