Steamers.
Az lar as the steamship lines are concerned the
'LOngshorcmen's Union has undoubtedly been de-
fcated, for the combination OF steamship men Ii

their business as usual. Walsh Brothers still re-
tain their old trade, although the union has done
everything In Its power to crush them. Yesterday
afternoon . rumor was started that Mr.. Dale, the
agent Of the lnman line, had dismissed Walsh
Brothers from his employ at one O'Clock in she
afternoon. owing to the delay Ia discharging ana
loading the city OF Montreal by the labor OF non
union men. This, II IT had only been true,
would have been . great triumph for tho
'longsnoremen; for, somehow or other, their
enmity seems to be principally directed toward
the abovc.named 1rm Of stcvedorcs, and 1t has
been thought that IL they could only bring Walsh
Brothers into trouble they coull carry the day.
Inquiry At the Inman lines ollcc however, ecited
the TACT that there was no truth IN the runor and
that MIR. Dale was perfectly satisfied with the nOn-
union men employed by his s.evedores. so much
for the 'iOngSaorcncn employed on tue steam.
