'NEW YORK, Jan. 11. No hope of; an early settlement of the strike which ! has paralyzed the port of New York for two days was apparent Friday night. Leaders of the Hi.OOO workers on tugs, lighters and ferryboats de clared emphatically that they were nrenared for a finish fie-ht. Their em ployers, members of the New York Boat Owners" association, were enuallv emphatic in their assertion that they never would yield to the demand for an eight-hour day. The visit to the city late Friday of Secretary of War Baker led to the hone that his influence micht result in an adjustment, but the hone was!' short lived. When the secretary left ! Friday night for Ottawa he hod given ! no intimation that the war depart- ment would take a hand in the con' troversy. . On the contrary, he said the strike, Jiud not resulted in serious embarrassment to tho department. Returning troops were being debarked without delay, he said, and there had! been no interruption to the flow ofjtornoy George U.

I As matters stand now physicians are being unjustly blamed because their patients and people from their patients' homes are running over the city at will. This is an unjust ac cusation, for every physician in Uie city is being worked to death, and how. would it be possible for more than an explanation of need of quar antine and the urging of it from u physician It is out of the question for the doctors to act as policemen, and it thnrelore becomes necessary to have a well organized squad of men wear Las the star of authority to see that people obey the uu itunUiio laws.

NOT TO STRIKE PACIFIC COAST COUNCIL FAV ORS SEPARATE CONTRACTS .Mary Agreement to Be Disregarded Save aa llasia for Minimum Wage Scale. POKTLAND, Jan. 11. There will be no general strike of organizations af filiuted under tho Pacific Coast Metal Trades council as u protest against alleged unjust features of the wage schedule, as rearranged under the last decision of tho Shipbuilding Wage ad justment board, but before adjourning at noon Friilay it is understood tho council determined the future policy will be to disregard the Mucy ngree ment and negotiate separate and pri vate contracts wherever nossiblo. In fact, so it has been reported, there is every reason to expect the Skinner & Eddy yanU at Seattle,, will! negotiate such an Agreement at any time anil it is expected other plants will follow. The probabilities are that in such negotiations tho Macy scale will bo regarded as a minimum, and separato agreements with employers provide for tho payment of wagos above that, or a change in working conditions. , At any rate, the situation presents a peaceful aspect, and, on tho delegates adjourning yesterday, it was generally felt they had accomplished creditable work.
