STRIKE-BREAKERS GATHER FOR TEST OF STRENGTH

New York, Nov. 3.

Mr. David Grange, Third Vice-President of the International Seamen's Union announced to-day that his union was ready to put crews on all ships affected by the maritime strike. This man, leading a "rebel" faction in the union, declared he could promise his crews protection even if the leaders had to go to the extent of arming their men.

Mr. Joseph Curran, chairman of the Seamen's Defence Committee and one of the strikers' chiefs, promptly replied to Mr. Grange: "I can foresee violence and plenty of it."

Mr. Grange alleges that the Seamen's Defence Committee terrorised seamen into joining the strike.

It is reported that 278 ships and 80,000 men have thus far been affected by the walk-out, while on the Pacific Coast between 8,000 and 10,000 saw mill and timber workers have been thrown into idleness as a result of the seamen's strike.

Appeals For Peace

The Maritime Commission has been called into emergency session to con- sider scores of telegrams urging the Government's Intervention to put an end to the shipping tie-up and to avert threatened bloodshed.

It is understood that messages have been received from business men, ship-owners and elvic bodies in many ports. However, it is intimated thất the Commission's restricted powers enable it only to make the suggestion that President Roosevelt personally intervene. The election lus tem pararily paralysed other federal efforts at mediation.
