Boston and Philadelphia reported that many ships are affected. The United States Line announced that the President Harding will sail to-morroAv with mails but no passengers. The Associated Press San Francisco correspondent states from sources close to Harry Bridges, the strike leader, that it is learned that action is unlikely in connection with the Australian transportation request to carry the stranded Australians home. The unions are unable to break their solid front for anybody’s convenience though willing to relieve situations causing actual suffering.
