Hoover Makes Suggestion.
No Settlement Likely

New York May 9-Statements issued today by union leaders, ship owners and shipping board officials failed to indicate an early adjust ment of the nationwide marine strike, which today entered it's second week.
 According to Gus Brown, local head of the seamen's union, 95 per cent. of American shipping was tied up, while Winthrop L. Marvin. for the Ameri- can Steamship Owners association, and Captain I. l.. Evans for the ship ping board, said saihngs were prac- tically normal, considering the gen. eraI tie-up on tonnage due to economic conditions.
 Fight This Morning.
 A fight between alleged strikers and men gathered at a private labor em- ployment bureau was reported to the police today. One man, who jumped from a window was taken to a hos pital, and others reported minor bruises. Union headquarters dis claimed any knowledge of the affair and no arrests were made.
 According to Brown, his pickets re- ported several instances last week in which trucks bearing the insignia of the American Red Cross were used to carry strike breakers from New York to Brooklyn.
 At Red Cross national headquar- ters it was said that none of its trucks had been used for such purpose, but it was added a dozen trucks recently had been sold here. It was possible an official said, that the Red Cross insignia had not been removed.
