New York, May 11. Desperate
battles between strike-breakers and
- strike sympathizers marked the prog
ress today of the great Longshore
mena' strike. Three hundred sympa
thizers gathered at "the farm," an
Immense open space In front of the
Italian Line pier at the foot of West
34 th street and ' in - ' an irresistible
rush, v swept an -" equal "number - of
' strike-breakers off the piers. " -
Reserves from the West Slth po
lice station .came -out on a riot call
bat were ' powerless, and the Ten-
' derloln station' reserves had to be
sent to . their aid. The -( combined
. force" was able to restore order after
several men had been so seriously In-
.-lured that they required the atten
tlon of Dr. Samls of the Roosevelt
. Hospital ambulance service. ! .;
Indications today were that victory
lay with the strikers, and for the
first time serious effects of the strike
became ..apparent. The- -trnnn-A-
lantic freight traffic is almost com
pletely tied tip. ' Hardly 'one of the
big steamships scheduled to sail to
day was able to gt off on time and
the superintendents ot the several
llncg openly declared that unless the
steamship companies effected a set
'.. tlement or compromise the situation
' would be hopeless. ,; The steamer
Minneapolis due to sail today from
the American Line pier, cannot get
away for H hours" and then must
sail without cargo. She is not yet
unloaded, and . today 36 k stewards
were at work trying to get out the
baggage which baa been in her hold
, since she arrived. -' ' -
Negroes Are Coming In. 4-.
Strike-breakers were being brought
v. into the city today, from several
sources. - ' "
' Five hundred negroes were brought
' in by the Old Dominion Line from
southern ports..' : Bowen and Post
brought 1,000 men In yesterday and
distributed them among the several
lines, it . . '
President Connors; of the long'
shoremen declared today that the
men have the situation -well in hand
and will win. ., The officials ot the
steamship lines repeated today their
declarations made yesterday that
there will be no compromise and no
concessions.
The steamqr New York of . the
. American Line was not loadod suffi
ciently to let her get away at :3C
o'clock as per schedule. ;- 'v"r
' The steamer Umbria, a Cunarder,
. due out at 6 o'clock, did hot sail,
in spite of the frantic efforts of her
crew, stewards and the strike-breakers.
