$4,000 MARINE

NEW YORK PORT is PRACTICAL
LH PARALYzED AS RESULT
OF STRIKE.
REFUSE TO MEDIATE

HOURS REPORTED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


New York, Jan. 1O.-The port of
New York is practically paralyzed as
the result of the strike of approx
mately $4,000 marine workers. The
city and its environs is confronted by
situation which is believed by many
to be the most precarious in its his
tory.
Except for a small fleet of ferry
boats, tugs and lighters engaged in
debarkation of homecoming troops
and loading of perishable supplies for
the American expeditionary forces,
harbor shipping is at a standstill fol.
lowing the strikers attempt to force
arbitration of their demands for high
er wages and an eight-hour day.
Not only privately-owned craft, but
the boats of the railroad administra-
ton, 1,200 in number, were tied up,
and the sailing or berthing of ocean
steamships, as well as the ferrying of
passengers between Manhattan and
its neighboring boroughs and suburbs,
was impossible.
A vote will be taken by $4,000 long
shoremen today to determine if they
will walk out in a sympathetic strike.
Unless railroads can bring food into
New York by roundabout routes, the
hunger point may be reached within
forty-eight hours, and the lives OF
thousands imperiled as the result of
the marine workers strike, which
tied up virtually all traffic in the har-
Dor.
A. II. Smith, regional railroad di-
rector, asked for "a forty eight-hour
armistice," and stated if this was
granted, the strike could be settled
across the table" At a conference
with Mr.. Smith, however, the men
told him the proposal could not be
considered until the general strike
committee held meeting. 1t was
stated at Mr.. Smiths office that to
avert possible famine, livestock, food
stuffs and milk were being given
preference over all other freight com
ing into the city. The milk situation
was described as even worse than
that of solid food" as there were
thousands of babies and invalids who
must be supplied.

Agree on Income for 1920.

Washington.-The conferees of the
Senate and the House on the reve-
nue. bill agreed to the Senate amend
ments on the normal income tax rate,
the individual income surtaxes and

city bonds from taxation. The nor
NAL income tax rate for the ensuing
year under the agreement will be IL
per cent of the net income in excess
OF the personal exemption of $1,000
for single man and 50 600 for mar
ried and 5000 for each dependent
child: upon the first $4,000 of such
income, however, the rate will be only
G per cent.

DEMAND THAT IS SUPREME
World Must Have Food, for Famine
and Disorder Have Always
Been Synonymous.

About 1850 Benjamin Franklin OBJ
served In Poor Richards Almanac that
wherever there was famine there was
disorder, and wherever there was dis
order famine followed In its train.
This has been the keynote of the
present world situation. Graham Lusk
writes In the American Museum Jour
nal. Lack Of hygiene and sanitation
does not cause disorder. Soldiers have
lived incrusted In the mud of Flanders.
but have maintained their morale
when well noprlshed. The Russian IL
firmly convinced that the louise Is nee
essary for health because this vermin
leaves his body only In the event OF his
death. If cleanliness were ms much
desired by the people as food. then the
streets Of our cities would be kept In
perfect order, and no dirt would be
allowed to accumulate upon them. In
deed, TolstOy teaches that the desire
for cleanliness Is n cultivated extrava-
gance and not nm instructive impulse.
The call for food Is. however, insistent
and instructive and must be satisfied
or social discomfort arises.

ginning Of May, Premier Lloyd George
Of Great Britain declared In an inter.
view with Stephane Lausanne, editor
Of The Matin.
In answer to remark by M. Lau.
zanne that what troubled public opin
lon was not 20 much the delay, as the
secrecy In which the peace negotia.
lions were wrapped and the fear that
there was some divergence of opin.
lon. the British premier said:
II affirm absolutely that there Is no
divergence among the negotiators.
They are often confronted with tech.
nical difficulties which can only be
settled after close study. Take the
questions Of reparation. In substance
the allies have one common principle,
which | once set forth thus: Ger.
many must pay up to the last farthing
Of her power
But Is 1t sufficient to draw up a
bill and hand II to the enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
we not study the terms, methods and
forms Of delayed payments? Must we
not be able to say to our adversary
when he pleads inadequacy OF re-
sources: Yes. you can go as far as
that and you must do it and you must
do that In a word. shall we simply
present bill or collect the money. all
the money possible? Well, this Is
where the work comes in"
The confident statement OF Premier
Lloyd George that the peace treaty
will be concluded by Easter is sup
ported by predictions repeatedly made
by less prominent members OF the
peace conference and dispelled much
Of the hopelessness and uncertaint,
in which many important problems o.
the conference seemed to have beer
enshrouded.
