CRISIS AVERTED

' ATLANTIC SHIPPING STRIKE | ! BUT TENSION GROWING By Tclesraph—press Association—Copyright) Received Nov. 6, 11.3 p.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 6. A major crisis in the Atlantic coast shipping strike was averted when Mr Dewey declined Mr Franklin’s request to intervene. lension between the rump command and the union has increased, however, as, despite the strikers’ demands, the enlistment of substitute crews continued at San Francisco. Mr McGrady gave both sides until noon to-morrow to show a conciliatory spirit. Otherwise he will fly back to Washington. He denied that he would seek Presidential intervention. The strikers are undecided on safety crews’ removal of perishables. Owners are using “dry ice” on shipboard. At Baltimore the strike caused cancellation of sailings. At Boston, three ships, manned by substitutes, sailed. There is a partial truce at Philadelphia. Four arrests were made at Jacksonville for picketing.
