Two Men Said to Have Been Killed - Present Outlook For Settlement of Marine Strike Unfavorable.

New Orleans, May g. Fighting broke out between striking seaworkers and po- lice and special officers here this morning. Two men are said to have been killed in a running fight.
 The trouble first broke at 1 o'clock this morning when five shots had been exchanged. Thirty men were arrested.
 Police Captain Capo has ordered every available policeman to the river front armed with riot guns and rifles
 Washington, May 9-The present outlook for settlement of the marine strike is 'unfavorable," according to Thomas Healy, who returned here to- day from New York as head of a com mittee of marine workers to confer with Secretary of Labor Davis.
 The committee of marine workers which has under consideration since Friday proposals for settlement made by Secretary Davis and Admiral Ben son of the Shipping Board, will today offer counter proposals, 1t IS learned. According to Healy the men are not ready to accept fully the proposals laid down last week.
 As the situation now stands only two ways of compromise are open. One is concessions on the part of the U. s. Shipping board in the way of arbitration of less than the 15 per cent cut in the basic wage rates of fered; the other acceptance by the men of the Is per cent cut with guar antee of a satisfactory method of ex- tra compensation to make up for the reduction.
 Admiral Benson has repeatedly stated that he will not recede from his stand of a IS per cent wage cut. In labor circles the opinion is eX- pressed that the shipping board and the marine representatives will get to- gether on a prosopition of satisfactory extra compensation and the Is per cent cut in basic wages rates will stand.

 That is not my fault. I wanted you to come to me but you would not do so. You left me up in the country all alone, and it was so cold.
 CT was so lonely and wanted you, but you would not come. I am heart broken.
