MAY STRIKE

NEW YORK, July 81 G.N.s).
Tugboat workers of New York
harbor received a call today to q
mass meeting, July 20, at which
a general strike vote will be taken.

meeting.
About $500 men would be in
volved if the towboat strike ma
terialized. General harbor ship
ping, as we'll as the handling Of

NEW YORK, July 81 ON.sD.

that a brother. Jonas Blanton,
was the daring gunman who
stormed the Governors Island
Army post single-handed yester-

three up on Jonas, however. He

The lone deliverer who calmly
rowed away with Melvin almost
under the shadow of the guns
which once guarded New York
City was a stocky, ruddy-faced
man with a nickel-plated revolver
and a steely CLINT in his eye.
The revolver and the steely CLINT,
coupled with an automatic shot
gun wrested from Private Ste
phen Greezegorak, Melvin's guard,
sufficed to keep Greezegorak
rooted in his tracks while the
pair made their way, mile and
a half across Buttermilk Chan
mel, to freedom.
