New YORK, November 1l.-Consid-
cradle apprehension is expressed at
the result of the enforcement of the re-
cent resolutions of the steamship men
to reduce the wages of the longshore-
men. The latter declare their inten-
.ion to resist the. reduction and that
if enforced that five thousand men en-
ployed on the docks of New York,
Brooklyn, Jersey City and Hoboken
will stop work on Monday morning.
The result will be the entire suspen-
sion of the shipping trade during the
strike, as their places cannot be filled
by inexperienced hands. The member.
ship of the longshoremen's union
reaches ten thousand, and they are
better united than any other class OF
laboTers. On the other hand, the
steamship agents claim that they can
not afford to pay the present rates and
are determined to make the proposed
experiment.
The disagreement between the coop
ers and their employers is not on ac-
count of wages, but the employers in
sist upon the dissolution OF the unions,
whose arbitrary regulations of labor
are bone of contention.
