The CANAL STRIKE.-Learning that one
OF the steamers had arrived yesterday We
sought the captain with the view to elicit
facts in regard to the boatmen on the eight
mile level. He states that he passed them
al daybreak, and knowing that they would
attempt TO stop him, he had put on a full
pressure OF steam. But few of the boatmen
were up, and two OF these hailed him from
the tow path 10 stop, that they wished 10 tell
he hadn't time, and would stop in Cumber-
land. By this time the other boatmen were
up, and three shots were fired, more for the
purpose of intim dating than with any in
tention 10 Kill. The captain, however, sped
on and arrived in port yesterday evening.
On Friday there were about forty boats
stopped, but as some boats have been stop
ped since, the numCer has very likely in
creased TO sixty, which throws about two
hundred and fifty people out OF employ
ment. With so large number of boats w.
ms in line, IL would be impossible for mule
boats To pass singly, If il is the intention OF
the strikers TO compel obedience to their
orders. Yet IL is the duty of the company
and the state TO see that this highway be
Kept clear. We would like to see the boat
men successful in equaliZing the Fights,
but We hope ii will be done oy persuasion
and by proving 10 those unwilling TO enter
the combination that il is necessary TO take
such action. but when they undertake 10
patrol the tow path and compel submission
the state must take the matter in hand, and
then the boatmen will be worse off than be-
fore; for they will be conquered by force
be no power of cohesion among them after
wards. A scarcity OF boats here will neces-
state rise in freights.-l Ctmlterldad Tinles-
