James P. McAllister (facing camera), Chairman of The Wage Negotiation Committee for Tugboat owners, talks to reporters outside the Tugboat Exchange, 17 Battery Place, after a brief meeting of Tugboat operators to discuss the situation which has resulted in the closing down of practically all business in New York City, by order of the Mayor.
