or the 10000 workers affected by
the walk out. 10000 to 10000 are in
tEis port. The number Of ships af-
fected is said to be about 1000 Of
which between 200 and 800 are in this
rort. The total tonnage involved is
more than 100000. of which $780,
coo is owned by the United States

orally today in all ports on the At
lantic. Gulf and Pacific coasts. They
said the received messages from the
vest coast last night indicating the
workers there are in full sympathy
v it'll the movement.
Information came from some ports
to the effect that some owners were
taking on men at the old rate of pay
rather than suffer loss through tieup
OF their ships. Such action, however,
is in contradiction to the statement Of
owners who declare they had reached
the extreme limit of concessions.
