DOCKMEN'S STRIKE
STILL IN PROGRESS
Only a Few Report For Work
Despite Union Leaders
Orders.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-- Although
called Off twice by officials of the
unions, the strike of longshoremen
which has tied up the port of New
York for nearly three weeks, was
still in progress today.
Although one faction of 1000 strik-
ers voted to return this morning, not
a man had resumed work early today.
Several hundred men were gathering
outside the piers of the International
Mercantile Marine, but no attempt
had been made to enter.
The faction voting to end the strike
was under leadership of T. v. OCon-
nor. president OF the International
Longshoremen's Association. Shortly
after they had reported their vote,
5000 other strikers, headed by John
F. Riley, chairman of the strikers
committee, voted to stay out.
Charging O'Connor with unfairly
representing their views, several hum
dred longshoremen, at meeting In
Hoboken last night, Kissed and booed
and started small-sized riot
OConnor was prevented from speak
ing and finally, when the shots were
fired. scores from the audience rushed
to the stage where a general nght
began. Police reserves arrested sew
eral of the strikers and Ryan.
Disorder broke out this morning
when 147 men tried to return to work
at pier Is, Brooklyn. They were at
tackled and jostled by a crowd of Eek
trsmists" from the faction which does
not want to return to work until the
demands have been met. A lively
fracas ensued, in which there were
several broken heads. A riot call was
senr-in. Part of the men went to
work, but other fed.
The radical element of the striking
longshoremen today organized a new
strike, electing Dick Butler chairman.
This organization, designed to sup
plant the regular" strike committee
headed by John F. Reilly, was to pre-
sent q program of demands to Mayor
Hylan as head of the conciliation
board. some time today.
T. v. OConnor, president of the In
transitional Longshoremen's Associa-
tion, who has opposed the strike from
the outset, was expected to announce
suspension of all local unions which
refused to return to work today.

Commission today issued a formal
statement charging watson is tool
of the Chicago meat packers. and that
his statements are part of the propa-
gAnda Instituted against the commits
sion to subvert justice.
The statement, in part, says:
The charges made against the Fed
eral Trade Commission by Senator
Watson. coupled as they are with
other and rserious charges made
against the commission by Senate
resolution offered by Senator Sherman
OF Illinois. require an answer.
The Sherman charges were an
swered fully. in writing. by the COM
mission last July. and since that
time the author OF the charges has
not offered one word OF proof. In
stead OF making good the first
charges, new ones are brought. The
commission challenges proof OF the
sherman charges; il challenges proof
of the Watson charges.
These charges are open to question
