San Francisco, June 18.
San Francisco port was yesterday in a wages and hours dispute between waterfront employers and the Congress of Industrial Organizations' Ship Clerks Association The closure of the port threw 5.000 men out of work and may involve 7,800 men if the dispute continues.
The dispute reached a crisis yesterday when the union rejected the employers ultimatum warning that the port would be closed unless pickets were withdrawn from the American-Hawaiian Line docks.
Each side accused the other of violating existing agreements. Lumber and other bulk cargoes have not yet been affected—United Press, German-Italian Naval Ca-operation Berlin, June 17.
All problems connected with cocneration between the German and italian Navies will be discussed here on June 20 between Grand-Admiral Erich Roeder, Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, and gnar Cavagnari, Chief of the Italian mistry of Marine.
It is understood that they will ¢iscuss not only technical problems, Lut also plans for close co-opera tion between the two Navies in case of emergency.—Reuter,
