Lines of Rival Union Fao
• tions Broken Up at Dock
on Hudson.
B? the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 28.—Picket
lines of rival union factions were
broken up by police today as they
paraded on the dock of the American
Merchant Lines' pier on the Hudson
River.
A line of 50 pickets, led by Joseph
P. Ryan, president of the International
Longshoremen's Union, were ordered
to “move on” when they took up po
sitions alongside insurgent members
of the International Seamen's Union,
beaded by Joseph Curran.
Curran's forces, numbering 600,
were reduced when policemen ordered
400 of them to retire from the pier,
where they had been exhorting truck
drivers not to deliver goods to the
* steamship American Trader.
Curran yesterday won the support
of Insurgent members of the Team
sters’ Union, who agreed, despite the
union's failure to back maritime
strikers and despite a series of fist
fights preceding the union meeting, to
refuse to drive through picket lines
•long the water front.
The sailing of the American Trader,
London bound, has been postponed
from today until tomorrow.
Curran claimed that 32 truck
drivers had refused to pass picket
lines to the pier during the early
hours of today’s picketing.
FEDERAL LAW PROTESTING.
Maritime Strike Complicated by Action
of Seamen.
•t the AsftoeUted Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. December 28.—
Protests of union leaders against a new
federal law affecting seamen threat
ened today to complicate the 60-day
Pacific Coast maritime strike.
The Shipowners’ Committee here,
Interpreting at least one of the pro
tests as a defiance of Federal author
ity, suggested in telegrams to President
Roosevelt and other officials that the
Government take action. C. H. Jordan
of the San Pedro Strike Committee was
quoted in the telegram as declaring no
•ettlement was possible if the seamen
are required to return to work under
the Copeland bill.
Passed by the last session of Con
gress. it would require seamen to carry
••discharge books" showing complete
records of their employment after Jan
uary 20.
Interpreting opposition to the legis
lation as evidence of "intention to fight
constituted authority,” the Ship
owners* Committee said in the tele
gram to the President: “The time has
come for our Government to realis
tically deal with the imperial vision of
certain Pacific Coast maritime union
leaders. • • •”
Harry Bridges, coast longshoremen’s
president, who obtained his release on
a habeas corpus writ after his auto
mobile accidentally struck and killed
a boy bicyclist Saturday, upheld the
strikers' cause in a public debate at
Los Angeles last night.

Canterbury Asks Britain to
“Turn From Past to
Future.”
Br the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 28.—The Arch
bishop of Canterbury, who recently
castigated “the social circle" in which
former King Edward VIII moved, yes
terday appealed to the nation to "turn
from the past to the future.”
The plea wax made in his broadcast
of a "solemn recall to religion," in
which no mention was made of the
Duke of Windsor by name.
He told his audience, however:
“In our national history the past
year can never be forgotten, but its
most recent visible memories had
better now be kept in silence.
"Let ux turn trom tne past to the
future. Let us look upon all that has
happened as a call to re-establish and
resettle the foundations of our na
tional life.”
Observers interpreted the primate’s
remarks as a plea for attacks on the
former King to cease.
‘‘Within five months the King will
be consecrated to his high office,’’ the
archbishop said. ‘‘The august cere
mony will be bereft of its full meaning
unless the nation, with and through
Its King, consecrates itself to the
service of God.
"Pray God it may mark not only
the beginning of a new reign, but a
new return of the nation to God, new
loyalty to the King, and, above all, to
the King of Kings."
‘‘I have not time,” the archbishop
said, ‘‘to speak of the present place
of the Christian religion in other
countries. We know too well that the
vast community of Russia is being
poisoned by aggressive atheism and
the doctrine of class warfare which
is anti-Christian.
‘‘We must be vigilant to prevent this
poison infecting our own people.”
He commented on what he termed
the "slackening and scorning” of the
old standards of morality, but declared
he was convinced there was an Instinct
of religion and sound morality In ths
common heart.
God was not so much denied as
"crowded out,” he said.
(The archbishop, primate of all
England, castigated “the social circle”
in which the former King Edward
VIII moved, In a broadcast two weeks
ago.
(“Strange and sad it must be,” he
said, "that for auch a motive, however
strongly It was pressed upon his heart,
he (Edward) should have disappointed
hope* so high and abandoned a trust
so great.
("Even more strange and sad It is
that he should have sought his happi
ness in a manner Inconsistent with the
Christian principles of marriage and
within a social circle whoee standards
and ways of life are alien to all the
best Instincts and traditions of his
people.”)
GOOD OMEN FOR EDWARD.

ENZESFELD, Austria, December 28

National Congress Also Re
solves to Boycott Corona
tion of George.
By the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, India, December 21.—The
Indian National Congiess voted today
not to participate in any war in which
the British Empire might become em
broiled.
Another resolution called for a com
plete boycott of all celebrations in
India connected with the coronation
of King George VI, adopted unani
mously.
Provisions of the anti-war resolu
tion included complete abstinence from
enlistment in the army and subscrip
tion to war loans.
The congress’ vote to boycott the
coronation did not dampen enthusiasm
throughout India for the expected r^yal
visit and coronation durbar.
At most, observers Delieved, only a
few thousand congress politicians
would participate in the boycott. They
doubted that George would be greeted
with the hostility which met the abdi
cated King Edward VIII, then Prince
of Wales, in several Indian cities in
1921 when riots broke out in Bombay.
Speakers at the Congress, meeting in
its 50th session at the village of Faiz
pur, appealed to the 60,000 attending
, to repeat the 1921 campaign. The
resolution charged such celebrations
were "Intended to strengthen Imperial
ism and add to Great Britain's
prestige.”
