AMERICAN MARINE STRIKE.
BREAKING THE BLOCKADE. SHIPS LEAVE NEW YORK. VIOLENCE IN NEW ORLEANS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. A. and N.Z. NEW YORK. May 13. The marine strikers failed to prevent nine vessels leaving port in the last 24 hours,'apart from numerous British, ships, which are suffering no inconvenience. The United States Shipping Board has taken drastic measures against certain firms which agreed to the strikers' terms by taking from them vessels to which the board holds the title. In retaliation for this action the strikers have ordered towboat crews not to handle any ships, foreign or American. At New Orleans, marine strikers violently attacked a group of strike-breakers, two of the latter and one policeman being wounded. The police, using clubs and revolvers, charged the attackers, arresting 138.
