STRIKES INTERFERE
WITH SHIPPING HERE
Fleets InactiUe, Due to Lack
of Cargoes.

Evidence of interference with shipping
activities In consequence Of the railroad
and coal strikes accumulated yester-
day. Added to delays In sailing dates
caused by the failure of railroad ship
ments toNarrive at seaboard on time was
a growing difficulty in obtaining bunkers
and coastwise cargoes of coal.
A large fleet normally busy carrying
coal from Hampton Roads to New York
and New England ports was virtually
inactive, and coastwise coal rates had a
heavy fall The charge per ton sfor
cargoes from Hampton Roads to this
city fell from 81 to 80 cents overnight,
and the rate to Boston from $3.50 to
SIPS. The colliers are gathered at the
Virginia port and are unable to obtain
cargoes.
Reports received In shipping circles
here said that twenty-five vessels en-
gagged in foreign trade were also laid UP
at Hampton Roads awaiting bunkers.
These were ships plying In South Ameri-
can or other trade routes where coal
is not readily available at the foreign
terminus. Transatlantic vessels for some
time have been bunkering on the other
side for the round voyage and freighters
of some OF the lines have even taken on
cargoes for transshipment at New York
to passenger vessels, which are usually
unable to carry sufficient fuel for a re-
turn trip.

portuned by place seeking Republican
henchmen to "clean out the Treasury"
is reported to have encountered firm
opposition when he attempted to COM
ply with their requests. The outside
leaders whose estimate OF Mr.. Mellon
is not fiattering in a political sense
attempted to drive wedge in between
the President and the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
: One of their ventures was to send
to the White House a long list OF
Treasury officials who were declared
to be Democrats. One of these So

Republican politics in New Jersey for
several years. Other so-called Demo
Gratis" also turned out to be Repub-
leans and, furthermore. most compe-
tent Government servants.
Cabinet officials and members of
Congress have the impression that
President Harding was greatly dis
tressed by the differences of opinion
between Secretary Mellon on the one
hand and the place hunters on the
other. The President was personally
exposed to these assaults against his
peace Of mind mainly because Attor-
ney-General Daugherty. on whom was
conferred the title of patronage dis

functions Of the role and elected to de.
vote himself to the law business Of the
