NEW YORK, May -10. The long.
shoremen's strike, so far aa it con

promise of lasting some time and be

against the coastwise lines Is settled.
The settlement was a victory for the
men for its basts wa a compromise.
But the deep water steamer com

demands are utterly unreasonable and

Into the second story of the American
line shed for the accommodation of
strikebreakers, Mr. Boas said:
"The action of the strikers has been
outrageous. They walked out without
saying a word and some of them were
making from 125 to 830 a week by

A report Is current today, which, if
It proves true, will further handicap
the companies. ' This Is that the tug
boat crews do not relish the task of
transporting strikebreakers to and

refuse to do so.
Tomorrow a number of the greatest
