Plans COMPLETED

Asums will be asked for as the work
proceeds. -Four years is estimated
as the minimum necessary for
completion, but those in charge
believe that perhaps 5 or 8 years
may pass before the work is done.
When the project is undertaken,
it was explained, every effort will
be made to avoid inconveniencing
normal utilization of the water
front facilities. BY undertaking
the changes piecemeal as it were,
it is believed that river operations
will not be unduly interrupted.
Long anticipated by Washing.

river improvements were recon-.
mended some time ago by the
Rivers and Harbors Committee,

TALKS OF LIFE
APPRAISALS
Warns His Cathedral
Listeners Character
OutWeighs Gold

Taking "Life's Appraisals" as
his theme and the scriptural quo
tation, "A mans life consisteth
not in the abundance of the
things he possesseth," as his text,
Bishop James E. Freeman, at the
Episcopal Cathedral, eloquently
paralleled material prosperity
with the finer things of life, as
he spoke to large Thanksgiving
Day congregation today.
Apropos Of the Thanksgiving oc-
casion, DR.. Freeman told his
hearers of the marvellous accom-.
plishments of the present age, of q
prosperity that would make the
riches Of Babylon appear penuri-
Gus. then praised the current con.
dition for the philanthropy it pro-
vides.
This philanthropy, the Bishop
said, has made possible the Ii
braries, boys clubs, hospitals,
clinics and refugees available to all
and has made the Western world
finer place in which to live.
Warns Of Appraisals
Man must not lose sight Of
life's appraisalS in his heyday Of
prosperity, however, the cleric
warned, as he said:
"The standard of life'S values
is largely fixed by certain hu-
man estimates.
We m sure things by
things; yet the finest things the
world possesses cannot be ap-
praised by any such standard
nor bought with gold.
"In our day much stress Is
laid upon mere commercial val.
ues; we appraiSe everything by
what it will bring in the open
market. We judge picture by
the price it will bring; a book
by it's circulation.
"Our progress has been so
great anu unparalleled that we
have come to regard material
values as transcending moral
and spiritual values"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26
GN.S.O.-Hope of a peace pact
within 48 hours in the Pacific
Coast shipping tieup mounted to-
day.
Following his return here from
Washington, where he conferred
with President Roosevelt and cab
met officials, Mayor Angelo j.
Rossi of San Francisco held an
immediate conference with Assist
ant Secretary of Labor Edward F.
McGrady.
The mayor announced he ex-
pected q break" in the strike
within 48 hours. What transpired
at his meeting with McGrady he
said he was not at liberty to re-
veal.
Progress Noted
Meanwhile, Pacific coast steam
schooner operations and represen-
tatives of the marine cooks and
stewards union, one of the seven
striking unions, were making pro
greSs in their negotiations toward
a peace pact.
Ralph w. Myers, spokesman for
the ship owners association of
the; Pacific, representing opera
tors of so coastwise craft, said
progress is being made" Another
conference between the two
groups was scheduled for tomor-
row.
Hours and Wages
The cooks and stewards chief
demand is for an 8-hour day.
They also are seeking wage in
creases and overtime pay.
The masters, mates and pilots
union is the other union group
which still has to meet with the
schooner operators. Masters,
mates and pilots seek IS month
~. differential over engine room
pay, with demand for preferential
hiring.
If the schooner operators and
these two unions reach a peace
pact it will pave the way for en-
tire settlement of the strike, Nc

French Ships Facing
BOYCOTT bY U. S, Seamen

NEW YORK, Nov. 26-GNs0.
Refusal Of French longshoremen
to unload. cargo from the United
States liner Washington at Havre
introduced a new and serious
complication in the maritime
strike in New York harbor today.
Longshoremen here have not
participated in the insurgent
strike of seamen, but the trouble
at Havre aroused Joseph P. Ryan,
head of the International Long
Shoremen's Association, to an
nounce that his men would re-
fuse to unload French ships in
New York unless the French work
ers lifted their boycott on Ameri-
can ships. He said:
eve declared that the Wash
ington was a fair ship" "and
French IOngshOremen are not 60
ing to decide such things for
US. If the French workers think
they can dictate code Of labor
morals to US they are wrong.
and we are prepared to let all
French ships entering our ports
hold their freight. They will
not be worked by American
lOngShoremen."
In the meantime, striking sea
men were successful in delaying
the departure for several hours OF
the liner President Harding, due
to sail at noon yesterday in the
place Of her sister ship, the Presi
dent Roosevelt.
Men already on strike signed on
for the President Harding'S voy'
age, ostensibly as bona fide mem

by Napoleon to conquer Mexico.
Accustomed to winning battles
against the massed forces Of other
countries, the French army faced
the Mexican troops with supreme
confidence, but amazed by the dog
gedness of their opponents attack,
and disheartened by the futility of
their venture, they found them
selves compelled to abandon their
forts and flee. It was the first time
they had faced defeat on Mexican
soil.
