Piermen Walk Out
When Liner Fails
TO Dock on Time
Philadelphia Passengers Are
Held on Ship by 5-Hour
Strike: MacMonnies, War
Memorial Builder, Returns

The American liner Philadelphia,
which is to be overhauled and sent out
for winter cruises to the Caribbean. ar
rived here yesterday from Southamp-
ton with large passenger complement.
She warped into her dock at 10 a. M,
but with strike of the longshoremen
and detention of the alien passengers
by the immigration officials few OF the
passengers were able to get ashore
until afternoon.
The longshoremen wanted to report
tor work at q. m, but were informed
that the Philadelphia would not dock
before 10 a. m. and that they were not
needed until that hour. That was the
signal for one Of their walk outs. If
they could not report at Il. n they
decided to call strike that would
last until l p. m. Meanwhile the pas
sengers had to stay aboard until the
strikers decided to work ship and move
baggage.
A further delay was caused for alien
cabin passengers by the immigration
officials, who under the new immigra-
ton rules had to check up the crew be-
fore examining alien travellers.
Among the saloon passengers was
Frederick MacMonnies, the sculptor,
who designed the American ,nonumcnr
commemorating the Battle of the
Marne. He said there was q general
desire upon the part Of the French
people to have the monument set up in
Paris rather than or the battlefield,
tor which it was intended originally
When the gangplank was put out
Sergeant L. Land, of Houston, Tex, in
uniform, walked ashore and into the
arms Of sergeant from Fort Jay, who
put handouts upon his wrists and took
him to Governors Island. Land, who
was with the army Of occupation at
Cobenz, is said to have deserted He
was traced to 0herbourg where he
boarded the Philadelphia, and the mill
tary authorities were waiting for him
yesterday on his arrival.
Also on board were the Count and
Countess Waldemar Arfelt, OF Finland
the former having come here to study
automobile construction
