STRIKERS ASK AID
Of FOREIGN SEAMEN
Urge Hold Up in European Ports
of "Unfair" U. S. Ships That
Sail From Here.

NEW YORK. May 14.-Cablegrams
urging marine workers in all Euro
pean, Central. and South American
ports to refuse to handle unfair
American ships that have sailed in
spite of efforts here of the marine
strikers to halt them were dispatched
today, it was announced by Gus
Brown, local business manager OF the
International Seamen's Association.
The announcement was made after
Brown had been in telephone COM
munication with higher officials OF
the association at Washington.
The cablegrams asking sympathetic
cooperation by foreign marine en-
gineers and seamen constitute but
another step in the American marine
strikers efforts to force the United
States Shipping Board and the Ameri-
can steamship Owners Association
to fall into line and renew 192l-22
wage agreements on the same basis
as last year.
Several dozen ships have managed
to leave American ports with strike
breaking crews since the deadlock
was reached between the employers
and marine workers. II marine work
ers abroad refuse to give tugboat ser
vice when the vessels reach port, they
will be seriously handicapped.

PACKER CONTROL
BILL TAKES SHAPE
Due to Reach House Early Next
Week-WiII Meet Strong
Opposition.

Finishing touches were being put
today on the packer control legisIa-
ton favored by the House Agriculture
committee. 1t is expected that a
favorable report will be reached by
the committee late this afternoon or
early next week. and that the legisla-
ton will be brought into the House
without delay for decision by that
body.
The bill is MOTTO have smooth sail
ing through the House. Many MEM
bers of the House. including Leader
Mondell, are not satisfied that tho
drastic measures of control proposed
are necessary or will work to the
benefit OF the consumer. Several OF
them think that the legislation Will be
unduly onerous and restrictive on the
packers and livestock growers, In
juring the bushes of each.
Unless the legisla ton can get right
of way within the next two or three
weeks, il is likely to be sidetrackod
by the tariff and revenue revision !eg-
islation, which is coming along ia Il
now and to which the House will give
preferential treatment. Postponement
of consideration of the packer legisla-
ton until after the tariff and tax bills
are out Of the way would result prob
ably in carrying it over to the next
session beginning in December.
