The Mayor said that there was no'danger of a tie-up of the municipal ferries because'a reserve organization of policemen and fre- men sufficient to man all boats has been formed since the Jast strike. Mayor Hylan professed to be wor- ried about the food situation, With Perishable supplies rotting on piers and boats ‘because would not handle them the situation ‘was bad enough, but the ferry atrike makes it worse, Thousands of trucks loaded with food supplies are piled up for miles along the wat fronts on beth sides of the North ‘River.
