The Raid on the Land Sharks;
The ship owners and Shiprnssters Asso-
citation propose, in view of the arrests last
night, TO see how far the organized bands
of sailor boarding house keepers may inter-
fere with the commerce of the port. These
keepers and their runners have been bold
Of late. They have prevented men from
shipping before the Commissioner, as re-
quired by law, and even insist that the sd
vance money shall be paid within twenty
four hours after the men have been put on
board, and that often without the seamen's
signature to the note. They also seek to
prevent men shipping, that they may break
down the law, and for that purpose have a
committee in the neighborhood of the Com
missioner's Office, frightening off seamen;
and if seaman does get into the Office he
is frequently followed there and openly
threatened with violence if he ships in any
manner or on terms other than the board
house keepers dictate. A number of YES
sells with their csrgoes on board have been
detained for days waiting for crews.
LATER-Five more sailor boarding house
keepers were arrested to-day. These, to
gether with those arrested last night, were
admitted to bail in five hundred dollars
each. The entire Fourth Ward accompan.
led the prisoners to court.
