New York, June 30.—The Maritime Association of the Port of New York, numbering 800 representatives . of domestic and foreign steamship lines cutering this port, is to send an appeal tc President Wilson urging him to call congress in special session to re- peal the present seaman’s law. In resolution adopted by the as- saciation, a copy of which' was to be sent to the President, it was set forth that “enforcement cf this law will be most disastrous in effect, and its drastic and impracticable provisions will defeat the very purposes for which it was said to be enacted.” The situation is so critical to shipping in- terests, it is asserted, as to “warrant and fully justfy the President in cal- ling a special session of congress’ for the repeal of this law before its rui- nous provisions shali become effec- tive, Unless the law is repealed the assogiation asserts, long established lines” will of necessity be withdrawn and other lines heavily handicapped. Copies of the resolutions were sent to every commercial organization alcmgI the Alantic seaboard. $20,000 HARTFORD FIRE.
