New YORK, Dec. 2.-Nearly all the
ship owners waiting for the settlement
of the longshorcmen's difficulties have
begun the work of loading and unload
ing in Brooklyn, Hoboken. Jersey City
and New York, employing no society
men. Sume of the heaviest firms an
nounce their intention never to employ
Union men. All speak we'll of the
class of labor offering, skilled longshore-
men being attracted from abroad. Large
numbers of men from the coal mining
regions are applying for work. which is
/ readily promised them. Occasional
slight skirmishes occur between the
strikers and the new laborers, but there
has been no serious disturbances. Both
the steamship and sailing companies
are confident that the troubles are over.
The convention of longshoremen form
ally rescinded the order of the original
strike union. Men are authorized to
work for any body who would pay them
old rates. except the Stevedore firm of
/ Walsh Bros, with whom tie difficulty
originated.
