Grievances of Longshoremen

v Considered by Employers

rovrly Averted Ollleera ofKoiicl AeUuowleflse Their Mistake

BALTIMORE Aug 9 Only an apologyand admission of being in the wrong prevented a striko yesterday among the pierworkmen employed by the Northern Cen-

tral Railway Company at Canton Manag-er Kendig ot the railway ordered twelve ofthe men to go on board the HamburgAmerican steamer Bengalia on Tuesdaynight to run the winches to assist the

stevedores employed by D Holljes The men positively refused to do sogiving as their reason that they were employes of the railway company couldnot be made to engage in any other em-ployment

The mens position it is stated was notacceptable to Mr Kendig and he threatened the dismissal of the twelve men Histhreat was soon known by the pier mennumbering about HO They decided thatif the men were discharged for the standthey had taken the whole of them wouldleave work in a body Mr Kendig subse-quently admitted his mistake and madean apology

The striking stevedores of D Hollieswho have been loading steamers at thepiers of the Northern Central Railway andPennsylvania Railroad at Canton held ameeting yesterday afternoon at Lauterbachs Hall 1735 Canton Avenue No

was taken but President George Kroof International Longshoremens Un

ion 194 of which all the strikers are mem-bers reported that their cause was pro-gressing favorably and that it was expected-an agreement acceptable to the men woulftbe reached In a few days

Mr Kronert said an erroneous impressionhad gotten abroad that the Canton long-shoremen are striking in sympathy withtheir Locust Point comrades Such wasnot the case said Mr Kronert Thecause of our grievance is the refusal of MrDetrick Hollies to consider a set of ruleswhich we adopted for the conduct of ourunion and presented to him last Monday

These rules provide that deckmen winchdrivers and leaders of men working in theholds of ships shall receive 25 cents anhour and all others in the holds shall receive 22 12 cents an hour The wharfmen are to get 20 cents an hour The hoursfor day work are to be from 7 a m to 6p m and from the latter hour to 7 a mfor night work On legal holidays and fromC p ni Saturdays until 7 a m Mondaysthe rules demand that the men shall receive double pay The rules also demandthat when men are called upon to rig up avessel for discharging cargo and for carrying the discharging gear the time shall becounted as on duty Heretofore they claim

no time allowance was made for such

When men are taken away from the cityto ships in distress by being aground therules insist that they shall be paid fromthe time they leave the wharf until theyreturn and to be paid double for overtimeTire ship so served is also to furnish thenecessary meals for the men

A demand is made that the men shall notbe paid off in a liquor saloon and that thenight men must be paid off between 3 and6 oclock p m and the day men between6 p m and S oclock p m onat the main office of the pier and that nofurther deductions from pay will ba per-mitted for any purpose excepting for tenefitiln of what transpired at the

stevedores meeting yesterday on Locust j

Schubert said Our menmeans lost their courage

or Tiope of winning this fight The sailingCambrian King after a long delay

is no proof that the backbone of the strikeis broken All of us know that when theCambrian King finally got away from Baltimore there was still room in her hold for1000 tons of freight When she gets toAntwerp she may find that it were betterfor her not to have carried as big a loadas she did

The agents of Patterson Ramsay Coare bringing a lot of men from Richmond

take the places of the union men butwith little success Fortythree coloredand twelve white men arrived today fromRichmond and were greatly amazed to findthat they were called upon to take theplaces of strikers They said thatwere told that there was a scarcity ofworkmen in Baltimore and that there waspo strike on When they found out the j

condition of the affairs here they refusedto go to work as stevedores as they wereunaccustomed to the work and afraid thatthey would be molested

We took care of these men but we cannotpay their expenses home The onlythink we can do is to consult the ActingMayor and ask him if these men are toremain in this city and if not howthey to be sent to the place they i

fromOne hundred and twenty colored men

were landed in Baltimore yesterday morning Several were taken away in boats bycommittees of the strikers and others escaped from the piers and went to the cityOthers were too much scared to leave thescow It was said that who hadmeans to take them back on the even-ing boat for Richmond

fi EERICAlTS CLAIM UPHELD

Custom DutN Demanded hy Xica-ma Xot to Ho Paid

The State Department yesterday receivedinformation that the differences that haveexisted between the Xicaraguan GovernCent and American merchants at Bluefieids Nicaragua have been adjusted bythe return to the merchants of 19000representing customs dues which the mer-chants claimed had been unjustly and ille-gally collected

The trouble arose during the Reyes insurrection in the Mosquito country ofwhich Blueflelds is the principal townColonel Reyes seized Bluefields and collected customs duties Whoa he was

the Nicaraguan Government sought-to make the American merchants pay againthe amounts they had paidto Reyes Themerchants refused and when the Nicara

Government threatened to seizethe articles on which the duties hadbeen collected by Reyes the mer-chants locked up the in awarehouse barricaded it theStars and Stripes above it and defied theGovernment of Nicaragua to carry out itsthreat

In this serious aspect of affairs theUnited States Government stepped in andarranged a compromise It was agreed thatthe amount of the duties 19000 shouldbeturned over to the British Consul whovasMo pay it to the Nicaraguan authoritiesor back to the merchants as might hearranged The negotiations for a settle-ment conducted by William L PenfieldSolicitor of the Department of State forthis Government and Senor Correa theNicaraguan Minister for his Governmentresulted In sustaining the contention ofthe Americans Directions to the BritishConsul to refund the money to the merchants have been issued

of permanentdecree has caused much doubt among

prominent Cubans including Gen MaximoGomez Since his return from Santo Do-mingo General Gomez has told GeneralWood that he did not want the Americansto leave the island for some years Thougha great many Cubans would like the Amerleans to stay yet fearing that their continued presence will weaken their partythey have not said much on the subjectShould they give to their desire it isprobable that the rabid section thoughsomewhat discredited would raise a dis-turbance by accusing those desiring theAmericans to remain of being annexationists and thus defeat the moderate partyUntil the conservative element Is thor-oughly organized it will probably be impossible to make much headway againstthe revolutionary party

Another reason that prevents the UnitedStates being asked to remain in control fora given perIcd say five or six years isthe fear that the Americans might ulti-mately decide to permanently remain

IN LINE FOR STEVENSON

Xeliraslca Ioitnllsts Apiirove of MrTownesi Ac trout

LINCOLN Neb Aug a Discussion ofthe declination of MX Towne and its prob-able effect is now the chief concern ofNebraska politicians The talk yesterdayshowed a generally surprising change offront on the part of leadersA few weeks ago they were almost unani

j mously insistent that Mr Towne shouldstay on and they declared that should theMinnesotan decline for Mr Bryanssake would be dead

Among those who uttered suchj were Senator Allen Governor Poyn

ter and Vice Chairman Edmiston of thePopulist National Committee and prac-tically all tho Populist State officers

Now all have amended their opinionsbut Edmiston who sUit makes a show ofconsistency but there are signs that hetoo is wavering

He said yesterday-I will tak no action toward calling the

National Committee together to considerMr Townes declination until after conferring fully with party leaders at the

Committee meeting in Chicagobe no snap judgment but a

conservative consideration of situationand the matters involved before a final de-cision is

every indication thatthe vice chairman Is also preparing tocome out for Stevenson His associatesargue that Western Populists want Bryanfar more than Towne and they must standtogether in the fight Stevenson orthere will be a repetition of the Tom Watson entanglement of 1S96

There is a suspicion that some of theSouthern members of the executive com-

mittee headed by Senator Butler will goto the Chicago meeting and there seek toput the Committee on record as favoringa Populist on the ticket with Bryan TheNational Committee they say must tinally decide but it Is feared that any

established by the com-

mittee would go farthe larger body For these reasons MrEdmistons friends have been counselinghim to drop the substitution idea and takeStevenson instead Mr Edmiston left forChicago tonight

As Chaixmari of the Executive Committeehe will prosaic Nebraska Populists

him to favor the acceptanceof Stevenson as the Populist nominee orelse leaving the place blank

Ppynter said yesterdayI believe Tpwnos declination will

have arty material effect one way or thoother on the result in this State Whenthe people have had time to consider thesituation more thoroughly and come to

THE ATALA3TTA A GU1TBOAT

Old Ynclit ColombianIVnrshiy

XEW YORK Aug convertedsteam yacht Atalanta purchased recentlyby the Colombian Govynrnent from George j

Gould for use as a gunboat has sailed fromthis port for Colombia Senor Eduardo Espinoza Consul General of Colombia is auT j7ity tor this statement He refuses togive particulars touching her destina-tion or armament

There is no record of the shipsat the Maritime Exchange At the

custom house the records show that whilethe Atalanta is still the property of GeorgeGould her registry was transferred fromthis port to Perth Araboy So if anydeclaration of clearance was made it wasmade with the collector there The im-pression here is that her name washanged so that the revolutionary agentsshould not know of her departure untilshe was well under way

All that Senor Espinoza would say todayiwas that the Atalanta would soon arrive

nt some port In Colombia He declined totell how guns or men she carried It Isknown however that there were on boardseveral guns of small calibre and severalthousand rifles besides a large supply ofammunition
