Aid Pending Strike Settlement FREIGHT EMBARGO NOW ON Military control of the waterfront (lis trlets if disorders incident to the team sters' and stevedores' strikes continue will be demanded by the Team Owners' Association. Insurance companies announced that the owners would run drays and teams nt their own risk, following the burn ing of two trucks, tho shooting of n boy nnd the nrrcst of eleven strikers. Officials of the Philadelphia and Heading are considering the advisability of placing nn embargo on all shipments into this city, with the exception of food. The Pennsylvania Railroad authorities said they would take similar action if congestion on the local plat forms Is not cleared up toduy. 3300 Men on Strike II. J. Devine. president of the Team Owners' Association, said the big team sters have men enough to operate their wagons, but prefer to have them remain idle for a few dnjs. Tlie teams will be put into operation before the end of the week, he said. At the Team Drivers' 1'iiion hend quarters, Front and Race streets, it was said today that approximately ,'!."i00 men are on strike. Many owners have signed the agreements favored by the strikers, it was said. Tlie majority of the coastwise steve dores who went on strike yesterday re turned to work today, shipping men say. Six hundred men were reported out yes terday und several ships were delayed in their clearance. The team owners' decision to ask for soldier patrols along the waterfront was determined upon after they found they were liable to forfeit their .$."0. 000 bonds to the government unless they keep all freight sidings and platforms clear of merchandise. They met at 222 Chestnut street last' night. The members of the organization will make their request to the federal au thorities on Friday it the strike is not settled before then, nnd sooner if the disorders warrant such control. Affects Coastwise Shipping Hero Most of the coastwise shipping com panies doing business from this port were affected by the walkout. Among these are the Merchant and Miners' Company, where two ships are waiting to be unloaded ; the Hricsson Line, oper ating between tiiis city and Raltimore; the Ilaltimore nnd Ohio pier : the South ern Steamship Company, plying between Houston. Texas, and this port, and the Wilson l,ine, between Wilmington and Philadelphia. At ono pier the strikers failed to stale their demands, nnd snid they had "enough money" to last them the week and that they would not work. At the Wilson Line office workers and crews of the ships, ;ih well as foremen, cast aside their coats and collars and loaded the ships when the men walked out. In several places the longshore men demanded seventy cents an hour nnd ,$1.10 for overtime. Their present scale is forty-five cents, with sixty seven and one-hnlf cents for overtime. There is said to be no union of the men, A number of additional teamsters have signed the union agreement, but these in most enses were the owners of but one or two wagons. The large owners remained firm in their position of refusing to treat with the strikers. Riots, incendiary lires and fights con tinued to characterize the strike yes terday, ns gangs of strikers sought to intimidate the drivers still at w'ork. Policemen rode on trucks with the drivers, but the unionists attacked the unprotected men in tho sections where the police were not present.

" BANKERSAYSLABOR IS LED MOICALS Knoblauch Urges Public Opinion; to Turn Against Strikes. Supports Gary SEES DROP IN PRICE. A plea that public opinion turn! against all strikes in the, near future, and praise for President flnry In Ills stand 011 the western steel strike, was made by Krnst A. Knoblauch nt the Itotnry Club luncheon today. Mr. Knoblauch, who is 11 prominent Philadelphia banker and broker, ad dressed the Itotarians at their weekly luncheon hi the Hellevue.-Stratford on the subject "Financial t'nrest the World Over." "I hope that President Gary shuts down every steel mill rather than yield a single inch," said the speaker. He de clared that the former conservative ele ment in tlie American Federation which had done much good In preventing the exploitation of the laboring man. hod been displaced by a wholly radical cle ment, which represents only one-fourth' of the laboring class. "Ten thousand only derive benefit from the nMions of the American Fed eration of Labor," he said, "and if thi) one-fourth of labor is successful this will be 11 country governed by the ml-' uorlty and not the majority." The laboring man who, during the period of war-time wages, spent the increase on automobiles, pianos and talking machines, wus criticized by the speaker, who said : "While the present high cost of liv ing is due, solely, to the exorbitant but necessary sums spent by the government for supplies and equipment during tho war, the laboring muu who preferred to squander his added riches on luxuries nnd not on Liberty Bonds is a con tributing factor." . Mr. Knoblauch concluded his speeclr with a warning that the financial situution is dangerous nnd that a sharp decline In prices may come at any time. .Turv!s Wood, another Itotnry mem ber, spoke on Theodore Roosevelt, whom he called the "heart of American patriotism." William Draper Lewis ulso gave 11 short appreciation of the iate Colonel. The members stood for it moment in honor of Roosevelt's memory.
