Although the inspection was made IN
the cool weather, the report adds: at

Pickets Use Motor Boats
To Help Harbor Strikers
Second Day of Walk-Out, How.
ever. Fails to Tie Up Tugs
and Lighteraue Craft

The second day of the strike of mas
tiers, mates, pilots and boatmen failed
to bring about tie-up of tugboats and
lighterage craft in New York Harbor
yesterday. All parts of the harbor
.were dotted with vessels, and to the
eye OF the casual observer there were
few indications that a strike was in
progress. There was no delay in the
sailings of trans Atlantic liners. all
leaving their piers with the assistance
OF plenty of tugboats.
However. Captain William a. Maher.
leader of the strikers. said that 100 Of
the 400 tugboats in the harbor were
tied up and that Monday the situa-
rion will be much in favor of the strik-
ers." These assertions were denied by
Charles a. Mason, manager OF the New
York Towboat Exchange. who declared
that of total of only thirty tugDoats
affected five had again been placed in
operation. and that the strike was a
flash in the pan. which will be over
Monday
One unusual feature of the strike
was that it developed a new species OF
picket. Several Of the strikers on
picket duty carried on their duties in
motor boats. riding about from wharf
- wharf in them and eXhorting the
tugboats crews to quit work.

Big Saving On Livestock

County agents, with assistance of
A. l.. Jordan, marketing specialist, hi.
vision of Extension, assisted farmars in
marketing 46S carloads of livestock in
GLIDING cattle, hogs, sheep and lambs,
with gross sales amounting to S549,-
223.l at a saving Of $450S6.75 to the
farmers who consigned the livestock
to these shipments. The consignors
were small farmers who needed this
help. These savings TO these farmers
represented the profits they would
have had to pay to local buyers had
they sold them at home instead of
shipping to terminal markets. The
saving is based on actual bids made by
local dealers on the corresponding
grades of livestock either at the time
1t was being assembled, or after it
was loaded into the car. 1t is a well
known fact that the competition furn-
ished by cooperative shipping asso-
ciatiOn induces the local traders to
pay much higher prices for livestock.
This is probably due to the fact that
the county farm bureau Office keeps the
daily market prices posted on a bulle-
Tin board where those visiting the Of
tice can get the market prices and
many farmers call over the telephone
and get the market prices for the day
from the secretary The farmers there
by keep better posted on the daily
market and consequently the local
buyers have to pay closer to the mark
ct in order to get the business.
