Clash Impends
On U. S* Ships
Admiral Benson, Head of
Shipping Board, Says
Equal Opportunity for
All Is Its Fixed . Policy
Longshoremen Protest
O'Connor Declares Union
Intends to Keep Closed
Shop; Goes to Capital
A sharp conflict between the United
States Shipping Board and the Inter?
national Longshoremen's Association
over the issue of the open shop on all
Shipping Board vessels ?3 in sight, T.
V. O'Connor, president of the Inter?
national Longshoremen's Association
departed last, night for Washington,
where he is to confer with representa?
tives of the board on matters affecting
vages and working conditions of deep
sea longshoremen. Representatives of
the I. L. A. from ports along the entire
Atlantic Coast also will attend.
That a conflict is impending was
?evidenced yesterday from statements
made by Mr. O'Connor and Rear Ad?
miral Benson, head of the Shipping
Board. Admiral Benson was in the
city to address a meeting of publishers
end shipping men on the plans of the
board for the extension of an American
merchant marine.
Admiral for Open Shop
When asked what the attitude of the
board on the open shop question was,
Admiral Benson said:
"The policy of the board as regards
labor conditions will be that of equal
opportunity for all. This policy will
prevail as long as I am connected with
the board."
This statement was taken as a de?
claration in favor of the open shop, par?
ticularly because the board has put its
stamp of approval on the action of the
Oriental Navigation Company in refus?
ing to comply with demands made by
1.000 of its longshorement not to
handle non-union goods.
Mr. O'Connor, on the other hand,
Eaid:
"We are not going to accept the at?
titude of the Shipping Board on the
open shop. We have a closed shop now
und we intend to keep it. We are en?
tering negotiations with the board with
this end in view."
Shipping Board officials hava con?
sistently denied that there was a closed
shop agreement between the board and
the International Longshoremen's Asso?
ciation. The latter organization, how?
ever, interprets the preferential agree?
ment, following the award of the na?
tional adjustment commission of the
Shipping Board last October, as tanta?
mount to a closed shop. The agreement
? spires October 1 next, when negotia
ions for a new contract will be opened.
Demands to Be Made
Persons conversant with the situa?
tion declared that the officials of the
International Longshoremen's Associa?
tion, in maintaining that the present
?agreement implies the closed shop, are
attempting to take time by the fore?
lock in preparation for a closed shop
demand to be presented next October.
Demands for wage increases, it is un?
derstood, will also be presented by the
d'.-ep sea longshoremen. In event of
their refusal it is believed tho long?
shoremen will attempt to tie up every
port along the Atlantic Coast.
Flat refusal to take a hand in the
settlement of the local waterfront and
harbor strikes, involving the coastwise
longshoremen, teamsters and the Marine
Workers' Affiliation, was made yester?
day by Admiral Benson when asked
whether the Shipping Board would ac?
cede to the request of local shipping
men to do so.
"We have nothing to do with settling
industrial disputes between shipping
companies and their employees," Baid
.Admiral Benson. "The Shipping Board
is not a bureau for industrial con?
ciliation."
Conditions on Waterfront
Tho local waterfront strike situation
?continued practically unchanged yes?
terday. Some of the coastwise shipping
companies who had suspended or par?
tially suspended operations as a re?
sult of the strikes, however, are slowly
struggling to resume more or less nor?
mal operations. The Mallory Line,
Which partially suspended operations
two weeks ago. will resume sailings for
Calveston anci Key West next week.
Sailings to Mobile will not be resumed.
The company is maintaining sailings
to Savannah and Galveston.
The Clyde Line, it was declared at
the offices of the company, is operating
BO per cent of normal.
The Ocean Line will resume normal
sailings of two ship3 a week to-day.
The company's service was entirely
suspende?! during March and the first
part of April.
The Southern Pacific Line is operat?
ing about 20 per cent of normal. Since
the besrinninpf of the waterfront labor
troubles only fourteen of the company's
6?hips reached this port. The normal
number should have been sixty-five.
The last sailings on this line were
July 3, 10 and 13.

Old Man Coyote doesn't like mys?
teries. He is one of those who believe
that there is nothing which cannot be
explained, so when a thing puzzles
him he Cannot be satisfied or content
until ho has found out all about it.
And what he learns he never forgets.
This is why he is one of the smartest
of all the people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows
When he left the clear Old Briar
patch convinced that he had seen Peter
Rabbit there beyond all doubt he was
the most puzzled Coyote who ever
walked on four feet. Not only was
he sorely puzzled, but he was also
feeling that he had been made to ap?
pear very foolish. He had been out?
witted and he felt sure the story of
it would soon be spread all over the
Green Meadows and all through the
Green Forest.
Presently the funny side of it struck
him and he began to grin. Soon that
grin grew to a chuckle. It was funny.
There was no denying that it was
funny. He had spent a whole night
watching that hole in which Peter Rab?
bit had disappeared, positive that
| there was no other way for Peter to
get out, yet Peter did get out and had
scampered home to the dear Old Briar
patch in safety. Old Man Coyote has
a sense of humor and he oan laugh at
himself when the joke is on him. Few
people can do that.
All that day he thought the matter
over and tried to think how Peter Rab?
bit could have fooled him bo. "That
was Jerry Muskrat's house all? right
\ecause I saw him there," thought Old
Man Coyote. "He must have entered
by way of the Laughing Brook. I
knew he had a house in the bank and
i know that he always makes one or
more entrances to such a house under
water. Sometimes he has an entrance
on land. He has to this house and
Peter Rabbit found it. He went in
that way, but he didn't come out that
way, ana there wasn't any other en?
trance on land, for I made sure of that.
Peter couldn't dive an<f swim out
through one of the underwater en?
trances as Jerry does. I know that.
Peter can paddle around in the water
a little, but he certainly can't dive
and swim under water. Then how did
he get out? It is too much for me.
Yes, sir, it is too much for me. But
I am going to find out if I never do
another thing as long as 1 live. I'm
not going to give that long-legged
rascal a i-hanca to play the same trick
on me twice."
Just at dusk Old Man Coyote trotted
back to the Laughing Brook. He
merely glanced at the hole in? which
Peter had escaped from him the night

J?y of Suzette and Boma
Upset the Zoo?It's a Girl
Papa Chimpanzee Is Banished From Cage When His
Wild Howls of Delight Tell World That Second
Infant of Kind Has Been Born in America
Mother Gets Tender Care
Suzette, the trained chimpanzee of
the Bronx Zoological Park, ushered
into the world yesterday the second of
her ?kind ever to be born in America.
It's a girl.
The happy event took place a month
ahead of time and Boma, the proud
father, was the only one preBent, Like
any normal husband, Boma went out
cf his head completely.
Kis wild howls brought keepers on
the run to the outside cage, where ho
and his wife were quartered. They
iound tho happy father jumping up
and down in one corner, shrieking his
head off, and in another Suzette with
her baby held tightly in her arms.
Dr. W. Reid Blair, the park surgeon,
was sent for at once. He immediately
ordered Boma from the room. In his
own cage the father recovered, some?
what, and his hysterical yelps changed
to hoarse cheering.
Get Most Comfortable Cage
No human infant, short of royalty,
ever stirred up the fuss that Suzette's
offspring then caused in the Primate
House.
She and her mother were carried
tenderly to the most comfortable cage.
This was surrounded by Bcreens and
- I
tip-toeing attendants drove all visitors
from the building with whispered com?
mands.
1 or a week mother and child will
be kept in absoluto quiet. No visitors
will be permitted to see them and Dr.
Blair will be in constant attendance.
In one corner of her chamber Suzette
proceeded to pile up all the available
straw and then shape it into a nest.
In this cho and her daughter lay most |
of yesterday and slept. The baby has
not yet nursed and Dr. Blair says it
will bo at least twenty-four hours be?
fore she tries to.
Baby Weigh? Three Pounds
Keepers Spicer and Palmer, of the
Primate House, are waiting tensely
until tho infant takes nourishment.
Once she eats it is a fair chance they
will be able to rear her. ?
The baby chimpanzee weighs three
pounds and is about sixteen inches in
length. She lay yesterday on her
mother's breast, blinking with solemn
eyes at the bars and walls that should
have been tree trunks and cane brake.
As for Boma, when his shouting
brought no attention, he sulked in the
corner of his cage, disconsolato and
entirely unnoticed, after the fashion of
young fathers the world over.
Mayor Will Continue
Fight on Fare Raise
Tells O'Brien "People's Inter
est" Must Be Protected; Is
Answer to Nixon
Mayor Hylan yesterday sent a letter
to Corporation Counsel O'Brien re?
questing him "to continue to protect
the people's interest against any pro?
posed raid on their pockets through an
increased fare."
"I note that Commissioner Nixon, if
he is quoted correctly in tho press,
seems to be very jubilant over the fact
that ho can raise car fares on many
lines in the city in accordance with a
dacision handed down several days
ago by the Court of Appeals," the let?
ter said.
"As the law officer of the city, I
wish to commend you for the fight you
have made in the interests of the peo?
ple. Continue to protect the people's
interest against any proposed raid on
their pockets through an increased fare.
You may be fortunate enough to have
these matters come before tribunals
where public officials still retain the
old fashioned idea that the people have
some rights.
"The people will take care of public
officials by demanding a law for the
recalling of faithless public servants,
along with those public officials who
are jubilant over the fact that they
cari aid tho traction interests by rais?
ing fares."

Bedtime Stories
Old Man Coyote Investigates
By Thornton W. Burgess
In-ves-ti-gate until you know
Exactly why a thing is so.
?Old Man Coyote.
There he went down to tho water's
edge and started douni tho
Laughing Brook
of the Laughing Brook. On the edge
of tho bank he stood still for a few
minutes looking down. Suddenly it
came over him that never had he seen
the water so low. Then an idea popped
into his head.
"I wonder," said Old Man Coyote.
"I wonder." A crafty grin swept over
his face and he turned and trotted up
to a place where the bank was low.
There he went down to the water's
edge and started down the Laughing
Brook, sometimes jumping from rock
to rock and sometimes wading, for the
water was very shallow. All the time
he studied the shore along the edge
of the Laughing Brook.
lie found the tracks of Jerry Musk
rat, and presently in a. little styidy
i place he found the tracks of Peter
I Rabbit. "I thought as much," mut- ]
| tered Old Man Coyote and kept on.
He didn't trust to his eyes alone, but
used his wonderful nose. As he was '?
passing a place where the bank was '
highest and steepest he caught a
strong odor of musk. He followed it !
up, and there under a tangle of roots, j
right on the edge of tho water, he j
found one of the entrances to Jerry
Muskrat's house. He understood it all
then. That was the way Peter had
fpoled him and escaped. He was satis?
fied.
"That trick will never be played on ,
me again," muttered Old Man Coyote
as he trotted home.

Armand Legier, one of James S.
Shevlin's prohibition enforcement
agents, was held under $500 bail yes?

Hitchcock on the charge of aiding and
abetting tho violation of the Volstead
act in transporting fifty cases of

from the prohibition enforcement serv?
ice March 6 last, but has been on the
probationary list since then. His hear?
ing was set by Commissioner Hitch?
cock for August 17. Legier came from
Pennsylvania voluntarily to answer the
charges.
James W. Waldie, also one of Shev?
lin's agents, is now under indictment
in the United States District Court at
Hartford, Conn., on the charge of il?
legally transporting three barrels of
whisky from this city on a permit
which, tho Federal authorities charge,
was forged. Waldio was arrested by
Harold B. Dobbs, internal revenue
agent at Torrington, Conn., May 18 and
taken to Hartford. He and the truck
driver, Thomas F. Bowie, of New
Haven, also? under indictment, had been
stopped by Connecticut constabulary
just after they crossed the line. Waldie
was released on $2,500 bail by United
States Commissioner Carroll in Hart?
ford. *
Is Declared Efficient Agent
Until yesterday nothing was known
of the Legier case. Henry D. Milde
berger, Assistant United States At?
torney in charge of the preparation of
cases for violation of the liquor laws,
knew nothing about his arraignment.
"Mr. Legier," said Mr. Mildeberger,
"has been reporting to my office from
time to time in liquor cases. Ho is one
of Mr. Shevlin's most efficient agents,
1 understand, and I am surprised that
he has been held for violation of the
liquor laws."
Under the Volstead act the govern?
ment places, or is supposed to place,
an internal revenue agent on each
truck or other conveyance to see that
whisky and other spirits withdrawn
from licensed warehouses, under per?
mit, is delivered to the proper con?
signee. There is no charge in the com?
plaint against Legier beyond the mere
violation of the "aiding and abetting"
clause of the act.
Four Alleged Violators Held
Four alleged violators of the Volstead
act were arraigned yesterday before
Commissioner Hitchcock and each held
in bail of $250. They are Oscar Haller,
bartender for Charles J. Zimmerman,
who owns a cafe and hotel in New
Rochelle, accused of selling a drink of
whisky to Joseph Jacobs, internal
revenue agent; Frank Harrigan, saloon?
keeper, of 22 Eighth Avenue, arrested
by Policeman James T. Delaney, of the
Second Inspection District, and accused
of possessing four gallons of whisky;
Charles Jones, of 549 Fifty-first street,
Brooklyn, arrested by Internal Revenue
Agent Felix Reisenberger, account of
possessing and transporting whisky;
Harry Glanzrock, 405 Lafayette Street,
Manhattan, who conducts a cafe, ac?
cused of having three quarts of whis?
ky in his kitcnen.
Stolen Liquor Recovered
Eighty-five cases of liquor, recov?
ered by police and Federal agents of
Newark, N. J., after the theft of three
truck loads of whisky consigned from
Baltimore to a Manhattan wholesale
firm, whose name is withheld, were
loaded on one of the recovered trucks
yesterday and startcil for this city.
The whisky theft occurred on the Lin?
coln Highway near Kearney Meadows,
a week ago.
Seventy of the cases were found on
two abandoned trucks near Clifton last
night, and the rest were recovered in
saloons and private homes in Clifton
and Passaic, where the robbers had
sold some of it. These cases were
transported by the thieves in the third
stolen truck and hawked from saloon
to saloon and from house to house.
Federal and police officers in New?
ark are conducting a series of raids to
break up the liquor traffic. Two ar?
rests were, made last night, and several
cases of liquor were seized in the bed?
room of Benjamin Bertani, a saloon?
keeper, of 31 Ackcrman Street, Clifton.
