HARB0R MEN AGAIN
TALK OF STRIKING
Question of Wages and Hours
Puts Boat Owners and Work
ers at Odds.

A harbor strike, similar to those
which in the last two winters have
caused millions of dollars of loss at
this port. is in prospect unless a COM
promise Is reached between the inde-
pendent boat owners and the Harbor
Boatmen's Union before January 1, ac-
cording to Capt. William A. Maher, head
OF the United Association Of Masters,
Mates and Pilots. His statement was
made Yesterday before the salaries and
grade es committee of the Board Of Esti-
mate, before whom he appeared to plead
for n readjustment OF the wage scale
for marine workers on the fire boats and
the Staten Island ferryboats. The pos
sibility of strike is not related to the
city wage matter, but was brought out
incidentally during the hearing.
Capt Maher said that the dispute
arose yesterday when the New York
Harbor Arbitration Board refused to
meet committee of the Harbor Boat
mems Union to discuss differences, and
that he and other representatives OF the
masters. mates and pilots union bolted
n meeting of the arbitration board
when the board wanted them to accept
sixty hour week instead of ten
hour working day and refused to con-
slider an increase Of $50 asked by the
masters and mates. The marine engi-
neers' union accepted the sixty hour
proposal of the towboat representatives,
he said
IF the harbor boatmen strickland
a compromise between now and Janu-
ary / is all that will prevent q strike
we will join them," Capt. Maher de-
clared.
The complaint regarding the city scale
Of wages is, accord ing to the marine
workers, that quartermasters and IL
censed mates on the Staten Island fer
ries since July 1 have received less
money than deckhands. and stokers on
the fireboats receive more money than
engineers. The matter will come up for
readjustment next TUESDAY.

COMMUNISTS GLAD
TO SAIL FOR RUSSIA
Twenty-four Ordered Deported
Start for Libau OH the I'M
peratOr To-day.

Ever since the soil of the United
States of America was. legally speaking,
suddenly removed from under the feet
of twenty-four alleged or avowed Com
munists here from Russia, the Com
munists have been yearning to go back
to Russia, they let it be known yester-
day. Consequently when the steamship
Imperator sails to-day for Cherbourg
and Southampton the Communists. they
say, will be just as glad to get rid of
the United States as the United States
is to get rid of the Communists.
Many months ago the men and one
woman in the batch Of twenty-four were
removed officially from this country by
the approving and signing of warrants
of deportation by Louis Il. Post, as
sstant Secretary of Labor. Actually.
however, they stayed right here on
$1,000 bond each owing to the difficulties
attendant on deporting them to coun-
try whose Government this country has
not recognized and has no dealings with.
They were not sufficiently important to
be sent home to Russia in q Soviet
ark" and no vessels, of course, sailed for
Soviet Russia.
According to Miss Rose Weiss. their
attorney. the actual orders of deporta-
tion on the 1mperator were issued by
the immigration officials at Washing
ton only after months of urging on her
part. Her clients, she said, desired to
go back to Russia because they were
out of work, their friends money was
tied up in bonds and the suspense OF
being officially deported and actually
present was terrible.
According to immigration officials the
deportation of the twenty-four is due
TO the conclusion of negotiations with
the Government of Latvia. one of the
small nations carved out OF former Rus
sia, for the passage of the deportees
through the country and into Rod Rus
sia. The sending OF these is more or
less an experiment. il was explained
They may be the advance guard OF one
or two hundred more now in the United
States on bond.
Transportation has been provided for
this group to Libau. in Latvia." Byron
III. Uhl, assistant commissioner at Ellis
Island. said yesterday. They will go
from there across country into Russia
The deportees will be accompanied by
an immigration inspector. who Will keep
an eye on them as far as the border of
Soviet Russia In order to make sure that
they arrive safely and expeditlously at
their destination"

COURT TO LIFT SANTA BAN
ON TRIO OF JERSEY BOYS
Appeal of Elks Needed by Recorder, Who Decides to
Modify Early to Bed Sentence and Christmas
Gloom to Exclude Holidays.

II looked for a long lime as IL Christ
mas was going TO be Just one more
day-and frightfully gloomy and mis-
cradle day at that-in the lives of the
three little West Orange. n. j., boys
who were sentenced by Recorder John
b. Lander to go to bed at 6 80 O'Clock
every night for a month because they
had been wicked and smashed windows
and committed several petty thefts. And
more than that. the Recorder told them
that he was going TO write to Santa
Claus and tell the old gentleman to keep
away from the houses in which these
boys lived and not bring them any
Christmas presents. And he did write,
too.
But now 1t begins TO look as If the
boys had something to live for after all.
Recorder Lander during the last few
days has received many letters from all
over the country imploring him to re-
duce the sentence to the extent of allow
ing the boys to participate in the Christ
mas festivities and get q few presents
on which they had set their hearts. And
finally, after he had received letter
of that sort from the New Jersey El-ks
Association, through their president,
Fletcher l. F'ritts, the Recorder decided
to lessen the punishment of the three
boys. He wouldn't commit himself def
initely yesterday, but it is understood
well enough that on Friday he will write
to Santa Claus and tell him that after

homes. But the boys still will have to
go to bed early except on Christmas
eve and Christmas night.
The letter sent to Recorder Lander by
Mr.. Fritts said:
appeals have been made to me as pres
by Elks throughout the State relative
to a sentence you gave TO boys who were
alleged to have committed petty larceny.
The sentence, as / understand it. put
them to bed at 6 80 every night for a
month. Christmas Eve and Christmas
night included. and they shall not re-
ceive Christmas presents. I am in
clined to think the 6 80 to bed punish
ment is a good thing. and perhaps may
have q better effect that anything you
could have done, but my appeal to you
Is that you relax to the extent that you
will permit them to have the enjoyment
of Christmas Eve and Christmas night
"In the name of the Ellts of the State
of New Jersey. who are doing so much
in their respective communities for their
little brother the boy, and are doing
their utmost to see that every child
shall have the realization of a joyful
Christmas, / appeal to you to give these
youngsters that chance
The three boys who have been under
sentence, were told last night that in all
likelihood they would be allowed to have
Christmas after all. After a long study
they elaborated on statement to the
world.

DEFINES TURKEYS STATUS.
Court Declares Claims Must he
Made to State Departm

On the ground that matters in which
the Government of a country that has
severed relations with the United States
is concerned are more for the State De-
partment to deal with than for the
Federal courts, Judge John c. Knox
yesterday refused to adopt the sugges-
ton OF the Spanish Ambassador in be-
half OF the Turkish Government that he
order the release of the Turkish steam
ship Gul Djemal. The Gul Djemal was
arrested In an admiralty suit instituted
by the Mount Royal Steamship Com
pany. Ltd, and is being detained at pier
40. Hudson River.
Judge Knox suggested that since the
claim now is urged that the vessel is
the property Of the Turkish Government
rather than OF private concern, the
Ambassador, who took over the Turkish
affairs, had better apply to the State
Department for the vessels release.

Publication OF the enrolment figures

York city has become a Republican city.
AS exclusively forecast by THE New
YORK HERALD, the total number of per-
sons in the city indicating their prefer
ence for the Republican party exceeds
for the first time in history those setting
themselves down as Democrats.
Leaders advocating the nomination of
a straight Republican ticket in the mu-
nicipal elections of 1921 point to these
figures as a strong argument to support
their contention.
The Republican enrolment exceeds
that of the Democrats by 112,463, COM
pared with an excess of Democrats over
Republicans of 1924 in 1919.
While the Republican party has in
creased it's enrolment in the year by
260,637, the Democrats actually have
14.S00 fewer persons enrolled than
year ago, In spite Of the fact that some
increase would be normally expected by
both parties.
The total Republican enrolment this
year is 643,630, as compared with 3S2.-
993 a year ago. This years Democratic
enrolment IL only OIL, lol, III I3lJ ~ NdS

The total number OF persons enrolled
in the Prohibition party this year is

This year Kings county has S0.774
