For Bermuda Is
First Tied Up
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Sept. 13-The Sea-
farers' International Union of North
America, A. F. L., called a walkout
at II m. today over war-bonus
dispute. ordering out its members Of
all ships bound for Axis or Allied
ports"
This strike will affect all ships
bound for Axis or Allied ports" said
John Hawk, union secretary treas
urer. I'VE are naturally not against
carrying material to England. but
since the Nazis are sinking boats
regardless of location, we want to
protect our men, The operators
show no signs of negotiating.
In New York Harbor three ships
with cargoes Of supplies for Amer
Ican bases in Bermuda and the West
Indies Cancelled their sailings as the
crews walked out.
Loaded to Hit"
They were the Alcoa frelghters
Trader and Banner, which the Alcoa
Steamship Co. said were loaded to
the hilt" with defense materials for
the West Indies bases, and the AL
Goa cruise liner EvangeLne, which
was to have left for Bermuda at 2
o'clock with 225 passengers, the ma
jority of them defense workers. The
Evangeline's cargo was said 70 con-
sist chiefly of foodstuffs.
The union is seeking war bonuses
from the Alcoa Line for voyages to
Bermuda and the Caribbean, and
increased bonuses from other lines
for trips to the Red Sea, Persian
Gulf and other war-endangered
waters. Spokesman for the lines
declined to comment.
Mr. Hawk said the strike would
affect eventually the unions 10000
members employed on ships in all
Atlantic Coast and Gulf ports.
Says Strike Will Spread.
He said the strike would spread to
ships of the Calmar Line, Seas
Shipping Co. and Waterman
Steamship Co. unless the lines
granted increased bonuses for voy-
ages to Africa and China.
The strike vote was held yester-
day by locals in New York, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New Orleans,
Mobile. Boston. Providence, Savan-
nah, Miami, Tampa, Texas City and
San Juan, P. r.
Mr.. Hawk refused to disclose the
size of the bonuses being asked, but
William A. Mckay, business agent
of the Baltimore unit. said the union
was seeking $3.50 for members on
ships bound for war zones and "a
certain amount for each port
touched in danger areas"
We don't think $50 a month is
adequate for the risks seamen are
asked to take" Mr. Hawk said. The
Nazis have no regard for the Ameri-
can flag wherever the ships CO. II
the Nazis would take a pot shot at
any American destroyer they might
not hesitate to do the same to any
American ship"
A spokesman for Alcoa said that
the two idle freighters normally
brought back bauxite ore from Trim
idad and st. Thomas. Bauxite ore
is an important base for aluminium,
vital to aircraft construction.

The arming of American mer-
chant ships was described in au-
thoritative quarters today as a
step likely to be proposed by the
administration, supplementing
President Roosevelt's orders to
the Navy to shoot first at Axis
Warcraft in American defense
waters.
Discussion of such a move inten-
sified with news of the torpedoing
of an American-owned freighter
carrying lumber to Iceland-an at
tack which occurred Thursday morn
ing, but which was not announced
until yesterday.
The arming of merchantmen was
reported to have been discussed
briefly at a White House conference
when President Roosevelt gave con-
gressional leaders preview of his
Thursday night radio address. One
legislator said he came away with
the impression that it was only
a matter of time until the sugges-
ton would be put into concrete form
Requires Change in Law.
Such a step. it was pointed out,
would require congressional repeal
or at least revision-of the Neutral
ity Act, since that law specifically
prohibits American commercial YES
sells from carrying other than small
arms.
Another problem would be to OBJ
tain the necessary guns, in view OF
the keen demand for such weapons
by the United States Army and
Navy and by the British as well.
The latest reported attack on an
American-owned vessel took place
even before the President told the
world that he had ordered the Navy
to defend shipping against "the rat
tlesnakes of the Atlantic"-Nazi
submarines and raiders.
The State Department said the
Navy had learned that the 1,700-
ton freighter Montana. of Pana-
manian registry and with a foreign
crew had been torpedoed off the
coast of Greenland, at latitude So
degrees 40 minutes north, longitude
35 degrees so minutes west. This
is between Greenland and Iceland,
about 260 miles west of Iceland.
An airplane-described as not an
American aircraft-was reported to
have seen the torpedoing and
watched the 26-man crew take to
hfeboats. All hands were believed
to be safe.
Fate of Ship Undisclosed.
Few details of the affair were re-
leased. Whether the torpedo attack
sunk the vessel was undisclosed
Since the ship carried 100000 feet
of lumber, consigned to the Icelandic
government, there was some specula-
ton here that she might be afioat,
though the fact that the crew took
to lifeboats Indicated she sank.
The Montana, formerly called the
Paula, was one of the Danish ships
which lay idle for months in Ameri-
can ports before being requisitioned
by the Maritime Commission and

80 Nazis Leave Iran,
Bound for Internmeni
In India and Siberia
Allied Diplomats Listen
In Irritation to Their
'Siee Heils at Depot
py the Associated Press.

TEHERAN, Iran, Sept. 13.-Eighty
Nazis bound for internment in India
and Siberia left here by train today
while British and Russian diplomats
listened in irritation to their "sieg
heilS' eChoing through Teheran'S
palatial marble depot.
Seventy-two of the group went by
special train to Ahwaz, en- route to
India, while eight were aboard one
coach of a KaZvin train with Siberia
as their destination.
Allied displeaSure was manifest
over a series of excuses and as
serted misunderstanding whereby
the German Legation failed twice
to deliver the prisoners and finally
produced only 80 of the 275 men de-
manded of it.
With about 400 men and 400 wom-
en- and children still sheltered under
the Swastika flag at the German
legations suburban compound, Ger
man Minister Erwin Ettel visited the
station and personally saluted most
OF those being sent away.
A British Legation statement that
the transfer had been arranged only
after the British Minister threatened
to ask the Red Army to enter Tehe-
ran and seize the entire Nazi colony
was denied by the Iranian govern
ment.
LONDON. Sept. 13 (P.-Sir Reader
Billiard, British Minister to Teheran,
was reported authoritatively today
to have made firm representa- tions
to Iran to hasten the departure of
the first contingent of Germans for

This source emphasized that Brit

plete break in relations between Iran
and the Axis powers and said ac-
compliShment of that program has
been delayed by unfriendly Iranians
