Discussions of plans r among ' business
men of the city to call a mass meeting;
probably on next Monday or some day
soon after the fourth, . for the : purpose
of discussing ways and means of arriving
at an early adjustment of the threatened
port tie-up here as a result of differences
between local shippers and stevedores
on one side and longshoremen on the
other ' and widely varying contentions
concerning the status of the situation,
were among yesterday's developments.
Following the - publication - in yester
day's Journal showing the ' impending
danger to the local port. , which is con
ceded to be of far -greater interest to
Pensacola people than merits or . demer
its of disagreements between the. ship
pers and longshoremen. seriousness of
the situation, as a consequence of which
it is maintained ships are- being diverted
from this port and allocation of others
withheld, is visibly being realized.
Although it has been known that dif
ferences have existed between shippers
and stevedores and the longshoremen lor
the past several months, .though n3t
generally understood by the public, some
shippers are reported as having denied
any knowledge of the existing . troubles
while others ' are , reported as ' having
placed responsibility for the immediately
threatened tie-up upon the local steve
dores. 3 ,
The longshoremen maintain .that all
they want is for the local stevedores and
shippers to live up to a contract award
made by the shipping board, to which
they assert representatives of the local
shippers and stevedores agreed In con
ference in Mobile, January 27.
No denial has been made of the fact
that . Pensacola will be, if she . is not
already, blacklisted as to loading and un
loading of ships at ports where the I. L.
A. is recognized unless some adjustment
of the differences are reached and this
is the fact of the situation in which
Pensacola people are taking interest with
a view to averting.
TRANSPORTS IN
RACE TO MAKE
PORT ON FOURTH
Washington, July 3. More than a
dozen . transports bringing , approxi
mately twenty-five thousand troops,

Early last ' night the local weather
bureau reported that the storm which
has been threatening was still in the
gulf 110 miles south of Apalachicola
apparently traveling in a northwesier
ly direction. Its Intensity was still
unknown, v
Reports from three vessels on the
outskirts of the : storm were of light
winds. None of the coast stations
reported strong winds. A schooner
coming into port yesterday about noon
from Cuba - had apparently passed
through the storm about 4S hours pre
vious and while the vessel had no in
strument it was estimated the wind
bore the full force of a gale, Mr.
LIndgren, of the weather bureau said
last night. i.
Notwithstanding all the big events
planned for the day in the vicinity
of Pensacola, and the enthusiastic in
terest being manifested and encourage
ment offered the various features of
entertainment from other sources, the
weather man was unable to offer much
encouragement for the expectation of
ideal weather for the day.
Yacht Races Postponed.
The long - distance races of the
Southern Yacht . Club . from New Or-.
leant to Pensacola have been post-';
poned 24 hours, on account of storm
warnings and for that reason the New1
Orleans yachts will not leave West End
until mid-afternoon today. Of course.
If the storm-is in progress or immi
nent at that time, the race will have to
be further postponed and may be call
ed off altogether.'.
Because the New Orleans yachts
men are not coming to Pensacola will
not mean the . abandonment of plans

tion. The club house will be open
to members and ladies all day and a
