The excuse of the local authorities that the trouble is due to lack of la- bor to handle the cargoes, if sustained by examination, will be immediately met with curative measures, as it is considered that hunger conditions are a prime incentive of Bolshevism and of hostile collisions between the Ital- jians and Jugo-Slavs. + STOCKS CRASH ON FILIBUSTER Secretary Daniels letter in opposi- tion to“the leasing bill affecting the sections embodying the naval reserves has been one of the severest blows that the local market has received.
