Strike for More Pay and

Started Last Night
COASTWISE SHIPPING

Steamship Owners Declare
They Are Unable to
Meet Demands

New York, March l3.-The strike
of longshoremen, checkers and dock
workers to enforce demands for an in.
crease in wages and adjustment OF
working hours, which was unanimous
ly voted last night, became effective
this morning.
The unions involved claim a mem
bership of between 1000 and 5000.
Steamship owners said that if the full
membership walked out, coastwise
shipping would be tied up. The com
panies affected include the Mallory.
Clyde, Morgan, Old Dominion. South
ern Pacific and the Ocean Steamship
company lines.
The longshoremen are now paid 65
cents an hour for a basic eight-hour
day, with 81 an hour for overtime.
They demand 81 an hour and So an
hour for overtime. The checkers want
an increase from $25 a week to $3.50,
and a reduction of four hours a week.
The dock workers want a % per cent
increase in wages over their present
scale of $40 a week,
Steamship owners declared they were
unable to meet the demands because
they were bound by the award of the
national adjustment commission, which
was to remain in effect until Sept. 80,

London, March 13.--Sir Auckland
Geddes, the newly appointed amhassa-
dor to the United States, made his
first speech yesterday since his APP
pointment was announced, addressing a
large gathering in his honor at the
| American Luncheon club. The Amer
lean ambassador, John w. Davis, pre-
sided.
Sir Auckland spoke on the character
istics of the American and English peo-
pie and the essentials binding them to-
gether. Referring to the phrases: ''Our
American cousins" and "blood is thick
er than water" the ambassador said he
felt at first that he was dealing with a
great civilization which seemed differ
ent from all he had met, until 1.-THE

tinued:
THE cure for such ills as exist is, |

common language is at once a bond
and a barrier and to work to strength
en- its binding power and weaken its
separating influence. 1t can be done,
but it is not the work of a day or a
year.
What we all want more consciously
to realize is that nations cannot be
judged by a few chance specimens OF
their citizens. They must be judged
by the expression of their collective
will, made manifest in hours of crisis.

of the use of food and fuel in millions
of households, and think no American

than proud of his citizenship or of his

Siberia Left to Her Fate,

The impending withdrawal of the
japanese forces from Siberia, reported
in a dispatch of yesterday, leaves the
fate OF eastern Siberia as much a mys-
terry as ever. Beyond the bare an
nouneement that the first japanese de-
tachment will leave V~ladivostok on
March 20, in line with a general policy
of withdrawal, we know little either of
the aims or plans of the Toxic govern
ment. The japanese army, after the
withdrawal of the American and
Czeeho-Slovak forces. remained the sole
bulwark of Asiatic Siberia against in
roads of the red armies. The soviet
government is reported TO have made
a peace offer TO the mikado's govern
ment, in which it promised the ending
of terrorism in Siberia and the admis-.
sion OF Japan's special interests in ST.
IBERIA in return for recognition of the
de facto government of Lenine. Moth
ing has so far occurred TO indicate the
acceptance by Japan of the soviet flag
of truce. But the withdrawal of the
japanese from N~ladivostok and eastern
Siberia leaves the bolshevist hordes
free to complete their grip over all the
vast empire of Siberia.
OF one thing we may be certain.
Japan is too formidable a military !
power, her people too well organized
for war, for her. to allow bolshevism to
gain a foothold within the borders of
her island empire. For the soviet doc
trine of a proletariat dictatorship is
an even greater contradiction to the
theory of Japan's government than it
is TO the representative democracy of
the United States. If eastern Siberia
becomes "bolshevised.' therefore, Jap
will probably see to it that il is a
bolshevism removed Of its fangs-Bos-

Prom this place it keeps along the

through the forest and crosses the

on bridges with a span of 40 feet each,
On arriving near the angle in the road
by the poor farm, the line curves TO
