PORT STRIKE IS
 AFFECTING SHIPS
Sailing of Vessels at New York
 Now Is Delayed

New York. April IS R,-salllngs of mall and passenger steamers to- day for Europe, South America, tho West Indies and the Bahamas were facing delay as result Of the strike of 5000 tug boat men, comprising the crews of about half of the 800 towboats in New York harbor The men were ordered out suddenly last night until their demands for u ton- hour day and higher wages are granted.
 The strike will affect almost all the tugs used ordinarily in docking freight and passenger ships, and may have an important effect on inland freight shipments.
 The strike came at q time when 1t would affect docking of the French liner Bourdonna!s and the Savoie. both of which were due today. Each requires the services of half dozen tugboats to be brought alongside their North river piers, Most of the tugs not affected by the strike order are government and railroad craft.
 Ships scheduled to sail with mail today were the liners Columbia for Greece, Munargo for the Bahamas, Flora for the West Indies, Santa Ro- salia for Buenos Aires and the Marval for Georgetown, West Indies. The Olympic is scheduled to sail at midnight for SouthamptGh, to be fol- lowed a few minutes later by the Pennland for Antwerp. Three large ships, the Berengaria, Columbus and Conte Rocco. are due tomorrow.
 The walkout was ordered by the Fragments Union. and Associated Marine Workers, 1t was asserted, after the tugboat owners had failed to answer letter declaring that a change in existing time and pay schedules would be demanded on April 1. It followed preliminary strike when the men on 12 tugs of the Dalgell Towing company walk ed out last Tuesday in the hope of opening negotiations with the own CTS.
 Captain William A. Maher, gen. eral manager of the Workers Or ganization said the principal demand was for ten hour day. with pay for overtime. instead of the present working week arrangement of 50 to 70 hours, The wage raises asked for vary from increases of s1O to $25 a month in the pay of cooks to an in- crease of $50 month in the pay of captains.
 The strikers insist that they will tie up all the shipping in the harbor,
New Britain herald., 1926-04-16

with the exception of the barges and other craft handled by railroad and government tugs, Shipping men. however. believed the strike would not be so serious and were convinced it would not stop shipping, though 1t might cause delays.
 The organization which called the strike Is not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.
 One more company the Meseck Towing and Transportation company operating thirteen tugs. reported It. self affected by the strike.
 The strike committee pointed that the full force of the strike cannot be counted yet, as many tugs do not re- turn to their bases until 2i hours have elapsed.
