Strike Called
For April l ON
Deep-Sea Tugs
Union threatens to Tie Up
Coastwise Shipping as Far
as New Orleans to Block
Owners in Wage Cut
Hits Coal and Oil Trade
$50 Boats and 2,4OO Men
Affected; Workers to Plan
Tactics at Meeting To-day

A strike on seagoing towboats oper-
ating along the entire Atlantic and
Gulf coasts has been ordered for April
l, according to William A. Maher, gem
eral manager of the Association of
Masters, Mates and Pilots. Representa-
tives of the engineers affected by the
walk are to meet in Philadelphia
to-day, he said, to confer on the situa-
tion and obtain cooperation by the men
at the various ports along the seaboard
The strike was brought about by the
refusal of the towboat owners to con-
tinue the wage scale provided for
under the last agreement between the
men and owners. This agreement cx-
pired on December 81, 1920 On March
Of this year the owners put into
effect new wage scale reducing the
mems puy $35 and $50 month.
2,40O To Be Idle
The walk-out will render about $50
tugboats idle and throw more than
2,400 men, including captains. mates.
pilots, engineers, oilers, firemer: deck
hands, cooks and other employees out
OF work. The tie-up will come at the
height of the coastwise transportation
season, and is expected to cripple the
shipments of coal, oil, lumber, grain
and numerous other commodities to
and from the ports all along the coast
Some of the more important cities that
will be affected are New Orleans,
Savannah, Charleston, jacksonville,
Baltimore. Norfolk, Hampton Roads.
Philadelphia, Boston, Providence, Port
land, New London, New Bedford and
many other New England ports.
The extensive importation of coal
and lumber by New York at this time
because of the lowered prices and con-
sequent brisker trade, it is predicted
by Maher, will be brought to stand
still, as will also the shipment of oil
from Tampico.
The controversy started three months
ago when members of the Atlantic
Coast Towboat Owners Association in
dicsted that they would not renew the
agreement with the men or continue
the scale of wages existing under the
agreement which expired on December
81. 1920. The situation was taken up
at q joint meeting Of the executive
council of the National Association Of
Masters, Mates and Pilots and the exec
utive council of the Atlantic and Gulf
District of the Marine Engineers Bene-
fetal Association at Washington.
Insisted Scale Stand

VINO say there was not the least inten-
zion on the part Of Mrs. Chappell to
nave him absent from the wedding, but
that owing to the exceedingly intim ate
relationship between the families II
was not thought necessary to send

expected that he would lust "come

BERLIN, March 20 (By The As

scite was being held to-day in Upper
Silesia Polish bands crossed the ST.
lesian frontier into Rosenberg and
clashed with British troops at Gross
Lassowitz, according to advices from
Kattowitz.
Several persons on both sides were
seriously wounded, the reports said.
A semi-official statement issued
here said that there was no confir-
nation of the reported collisions of
Poles with British troops and that
information received indicated that
order was maintained. But up until
late tonight no reports regarding
the outcome of the balloting or the
conditions under which it occurred
had been received here. There are
indications that a heavy vote was
cast throughout the district.
More than 100000 Germans and
Poles are voting in the plebiscite,
which will decide whether the prov
ince of Upper Silesia, with its rich
mines, shall be Polish or German
territory.
Large numbers of native born 81.
lesians now non-residents, including
100000 Germans and many Poles,
were permitted to vote under the
conditions of the plebiscite fixed by
the Treaty of Versailles.
