FOG HELPS
STRIKERS HAMPER
HARBOR TRAFFIC
Offsets Improvement Made by
Boatmen Brought From
Other Cities.

The strike OF the workers on the
floating equipment OF the railroads
in New York harbor showed little
change to-day. The efforts OF the
railroads to keep freight moving be.
tween their terminals and Manhattan
and Brooklyn were seriously ham
pered by the heavy fog which about
offset the Improvement in the situa-
ton made by the employment Of tug
boat men from other cities.
The strike leaders announced their
inteneion to persuade the workers on
boats operated independently OF the
railroads to join them. A meeting
with that end in view was held all
day at Webster Hall in East Elev-
enth street. There was no indica-
ton that Samuel Gompers and other
national labor leaders would coun-
.tenance a general strike OF all labor
TO save the eight-hour day" about
which some Of the strike leaders have
been talking-especially william A
Maher OF the Marine Ahiliation.
Representatives Of the Brotherhood
Of Railway and Steamship Clerks OF
the Transfers Union have arranged
to send representatives to the strike
meeting. 1t was reported at the ofhces
Of the Marine Affiliation that clerks
at Lehigh Valley Pier No. 8 and
at Pennsylvania Pier No. had al
ready put in demands as to hours and
salaries and that some of them had
anticipated a strike order by walking
out.
J. ]. Mantel, Chairman of the
superintendents of floating equip
ment for the railroads, said that al
least 80 per cent. OF the tugs and
lighters were at work and that many
more would be working except for the
fog.
The West Shore had one ferry'boat
in operation between 42d Street and
run q boat from Liberty Street. The
other railroads kept up to the slightly
curtailed schedule which was main.
tanned Saturday,
"The railroads." said Mr.. Mantell
"have knocked out the only excuse
which has been given for the strike
by pledging themselves to obey th'
spirit of the eight-hour law and by
agreeing not TO sell floating equip
ment so that II will fall into thC
hands OF those not amenable to tn,
law"
The railroads appear to have EaineC
strength steadily during the four day.
OF the strike, and brought in a large
quantity OF food yesterday.
The longshoremen employed on tn
ships OF the Rapporel line, operates
by the clyde Mallory lines, declare,

Calender was arraigned before
Magistrate Reynolds in the New Jer-
sey Avenue Court earlier in the day
and was granted continuance until
Monday next, at the request Of his
attorney, Samuel Leibowitz.
When asked by newspaper men
whether he had succeeded in obtain
ing any correlation OF Minnie's story
District Attorney Lewis said:
81 have not personally looked into
the case yet, but arm convinced that
there is something in what the CIR
says The scars on her body show
that she has suffered cruelty. She
is still nervous, but her mind is clear
and sound. Her brothers and sister
have partly corroborated her state
ments."
Application for the writs probably
will be heard before Justice Manning
in the Brooklyn Supreme Court late
this afternoon or tomorrow morning
Leibowitz told the Magistrate that
he was on the trail of some start
ling developments which will end the
case so far as my client is concerned"
Gallender's attorney announced that
he would seek writs of habeus corpus
to get possession of the other chill
dren of Calender. who we're taken
from the Leake & Watts Home in

FIGHT FOR HOOVER
CHIEF INTEREST IN
PRIMARY CONTESTS
Miss Choate and Julian N.Y.
rick Battle Machine For
Delegates to Convention.

Chief interest in to-morrow's Presi-
dental Primaries centres In the con-
test in the Seventeenth Congressional
District where Miss Mabel Choate and
Julian s. Myrick, pledged to the nom
nation Of Herbert Hoover, are candl-
dates for Delegates TO the Republican
National Convention. Their oppon-
ents, who seek to go to the convention
as unpledged are Herbert Parsons,
Republican National Committeeman,
and Albert c. Berwin.
As the Seventeenth Congressional
District takes in Fifth Avenue, Madi-
son Avenue and Park Avenue, be-
tween 14th Street and s6th street, as
well as much OF the upper West side,
added interest is given to this contest
This silk stocking district 1t Is said,
contains the voting residences Of more
prominent and wealthy Republicans
than any other district in the United
States. A spirited campaign has been
made by the recently formed Hoover
Organization against the state ma
chine. Both sides to-day expressed
confidence OF victory.
The polls will be open from 3 p. M.
to p. M. Delegates will be elected
to both the Republican and Demo
cratic National Conventions, and
State committeeman OF both parties
will be chosen. The Democratic or
ganization's slate composed OF unin-
structed delegates. Is unopposcd.
Supporters of Senator Hiram w.
johnson have named candidates for
! delegates in each Of the eight Brook
lyn districts, five Manhattan districts
and four districts up state. The john
son slate in headed by William M
Bennett, former State Senator. who
seeks TO go as delegate-at-large Mr..
Bennett, has conferred his campaign
against Col. william Boyce Thomp-
son. His candidacy, however, has been
aided by the fight made by many
women's organizations against cleo
ton, therefore, might result in the de-
feat of either Senator Wadsworth or
Col. Thompson. The other two mem
bers of the big Four" United States
Senator Calder and Nathan L. Miller.
of Syracuse, are regarded as being
certain of election.
BY reason OF the johnson slate
many prominent Republicans have TO
fight for their places on the Chicago
delegation. These include Jacob Liv-
ingston, Brooklyn Republican leader;

publican leader; Judge Reuben L.

LONDON, March 2s.-The British Ad-

that the work OF the submarine was a
horrible form OF warfare. and nothing
would give it. greater pleasure than II
the submarine could be turned down."
it was declared by Walter Long, first
Lord Of the Admiralty, in a recent dis

Long added, however. that he doubted
whether this was practical politics, as
the method OF defense by submarines
was very attractive to small and poor
countries which could not keep up cost
