Bi Walker, manager of the Coastwise steamships of the Federal ay Administration in New York, 4 ordered an embargo against freight destined for reshipment from this port on vessels controlled + by the Ratlway Administration, Many shipments are thus halted in various ; perta of the country. The reason for the embargo is the semi-paraly- sis of ocean traffic by the strike of seamen. The strike situation was marked by more bitterness to-day than at any other time since the walkout. There wasariot inthe Bowery this morning when seventy-five strikers tried to prevent ship owners from recruiting new crews. And the strikers were not at all calmed by the attitude of thé Railway Administration. Mr, Walker said the administration | now controls ships ofthe Morgan, Savannah and Old Dominion lines, He gaid the administration would not i yleld to, the démands of the strikers, who insist on the principle of the closed shop. Whether the embargo will extend to other shipping lines or not is not yet known. At the office of the Clyde Line it was said that President Ray- mond was attending a meeting this afternoon at which the question of an embargo was expected to be. dis- cussed. ‘The renewal of hostilities has caused an increase in the police guard. Boarding houses and ship- ping agencies are the chief objects ot attacks, the men being particu- larly tncensed against some of the boarding houses that have been re- ported as having shipped out strike- breaking crews. The riot was at No. 37 Bowery. ‘The strikers, armed with clubs and missiles, stormed an alleged strike- (Continued on Second Page.) View the City from the WORLD RESTAURANT, Vexday.

It was stated at the offices of the Public Service Commis - sion that the transfer, at 2 cents, would go into effect on Aug. 1. Counsellor Terence Furley of the Commission announced that the tive applications made by Brooklyn street railway companies had also ‘been al- lowed. Asked to specify just which companies would ‘benefit by the order, Counsellor Farley said it ap- plied to the Coney Island and Brook- lyn Railway Company, the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company, the Coney Island and Gravesend Raflway Com- pany, the Nassau Blectric Railway Company and the Brooklyn Queens and Suburban Company, tramafer, at 2 cents, will be ‘permitted those Brooklyn companies,” he said, “which are not protected by the so-called constitutional franchise provision.
