IARITIME PICKETS BALKED BY POLICE Lines of Rival Unior Fac- tions Broken Up at Dock on Hudson. B7 the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 28.—Picket lines of rival union factions were broken up by police today as they paraded on the dock of the American Merchant Lines' pier on the Hudson River. A line of 50 pickets, led by Joseph P. Ryan, president of the International Longshoremen’s Union, were ordered to “move on” when they took up po- sitions alongside insurgent members of the International Seamen's Union, headed by Joseph Curran. Curran’s forces, numbering 600, were reduced when policemen ordered 400 of them to retire from the pier, where they had been exhorting truck drivers not to deliver goods to the steamship American Trader. Curran yesterday won the support of insurgent members of the Team- | sters’ Union, who agreed, despite the | union’s failure to back maritime strikers and despite a series of fist fights preceding the union meeting, to refuse to drive through picket lines along the water front. The sailing of the American Trader, London bound, has been postponed from today until tomorrow. Curran claimed that 32 truck drivers had refused to pass picket lines to the pier during the early hours of today's picketing. FEDERAL LAW PROTESTING. Maritime Strike Complicated by Action of Seamen. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 28.— Protests of union leaders against a new Federal law affecting seamen threat- ened today to complicate the 60-day Pacific Coast maritime strike. The Shipowners’ Committee here, interpreting at least one of the pro- tests as a deflance of Federal author- ity, suggested in telegrams to President Roosevelt and other officials that the ‘Government take action. C.H. Jordan of the San Pedro Strike Committee was quoted in the telegram as declaring no settlement was possible if the seamen are required to return to work under the Copeland bill. Passed by the last session of Con- gress, it would require seamen to carry “discharge books" showing complne: records of their employment after Jan- uary 20. Interpreting opposition to the legis- Jation as evidence of “intention to fight constituted authority,” the Ship- owners' Committee said in the tele- gram to the President: *“The time has come for our Government to realis- | tically deal with the imperial vision of certain Pacific Coast maritime union leaders. * * Harry Bridges, coast longshoremen’s | president, who obtained his release on & habeas corpus writ after his auto- mobile accidentally struck and killed His Latest DUKE POSES FIRST TIME SINCE ABDICATION.

LONDON, December 28.—The Arch- bishop of Canterbury, who recently castigated “the social circle” in which former King Edward VIIT moved, yes- terday appealed to the nation to “turn from the past to the future.” ‘The plea was made in his broadcast of a “solemn recall to religion,” in which no mention wes made of the Duke of Windsor by name. He told his audience, however: “In our national history the past year can never be forgotten, but its most recent visible memories had better now be kept in silence. “Let us turn trom tne past to the future. Let us look upon all that has happened as a call to re-establish and resettle the foundations of our na- tional life.” Observers interpreted the primate’s remarks as a plea for attacks on the former King to cease. “Within five months the King will be consecrated to his high office,” the archbishop said. “The august cere- mony will be bereft of its full meaning unless the nation, with and through its King, consecrates itself to the service of God. “Pray God it may mark not only the beginning of a new reign, but a new return of the nation to God, new loyalty to the King, and, above all, to the King of Kings. “I have not time,” the archbishop said, “to speak of the present place of the Christian religion in other countries. We know too well that the poisoned by aggressive atheism and the doctrine of class warfare which is anti-Christian. “We must be vigilant to prevent this poison infecting our own people.” He commented on what he termed There’s Sclid Comfort in is our specialty. such a generous supply of fuels for domestic use.

A Happy vast community of Russia is being | the “slackening and acorning” of the old standards of morality, but declared he was convinced there was an instinct of religion and sound morality in the common heart. God was not so much denled as “crowded out,” he said. (The archbishop, primate of all England, castigated “the social circle” in which the former King Edward VIII moved, in & broadcast two weeks ago. (“Strange and sad it must be,” he said, “that for such a motive, however strongly it was pressed upon his heart, he (Edward) should have disappointed hopes 50 high and abandoned a trust 80 great. (“Even more strange and sad it is that he should have sought his happi- ness in a manner inconsistent with the Christian principles of marriage and within a social circle whose standards and ways of life are alien to all the best instincts and traditions of his people.”) GOOD OMEN FOR EDWARD, Chimney Sweeps Invited to Castle to Bring Good Fortune. ENZESFELD, Austria, December 28 (/) —Edward of Windsor will meet the chimney sweeps of Enzesfeld New Year day, and citizens of this little village say it will be an omen of good fortune. Chimney sweeps traditionally are the bearers of good luck. The sweeps have been invited to the Baron Rothschild Castle, where Ed- ward is a guest.

BY the Associated Press. BOMBAY, Indis, December 28.—The Indian National Congress voted today not to participate in any war in which the British Empire might become em- broiled. Another resolution called for & com- plete boycott of all celebrations in India connected with the coronation of Kinz George VI, adopted unani- mously. Provisions of the anti-war resolu- tion included complete abstinence from enlistment in the army and subscrip- tion to war loans. The congress’ vote to boycott the coronation did not dampen enthusiasm throughout India for the expected royal visit and coronation durbar. At most, observers delieved, only a few thousand congress politicians would participate in the boycott. They doubted that George would be greeted with the hostility which met the abdi- cated King Edward VIII, then Prince of Wales, in several Indian cities in 1921 when riots broke out in Bombay. Speakers at the Congress, meeting in its 50th session at the village of Faiz- pur, appealed to the 60,000 attending to repeat the 1921 campaign. The ING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
