| says -
| The shipments of tho ditsront companies by
! cans from this port yesterday wero about up to
tho average, tu. the agrcgEato WAS rather small,
the American Company not having loaded any
boats because they had nonc Ill port This was
owing PARTLY to the fact that their boats arc not
b eng unloaded rapidly 8! tide water and partly
hecsuse tho Alexsndrs canal is closed.
Some Of the loading operators still adhere
~ their opinion that tho threNtcned strike or the
boatmon vii! amount 70 nothing for various
rcssona. On The other hand captain OF one or

that he was TOLD, rs he passed through the haet,

coal "he would be killed. As there arc 2 con-
siderable Number CT loaded boats now on their

whether thc9o is TO DO strike
The Washington Star SAYS
"prfsiIant ,iornlan yo:.crtay issUel an order
bel! 10 ta;S psc9 n;l t. Cumberland to give
out no mora "3&rtiii> until further orders, thus
s.oppin. boats rrrltl lc"T:nG c!thor Cumberland
or GeCrSot0"a. The reason Slv0n t0r THIS Ord0r
Is tha.i: is fo1 the purpose Of preventing bca.mon
from cunGrcCHtinI and urging each other on the
s!riko some - or - boat: have Grody gather
tl o. tLo eight nile level and threaten to stop
@ny boats that have loaded this week I. c. since
the strike WAS organized. PTosiden! GorInsn's
order was, however, r3unterriandod: before the
day closed No effect Ct the strike Is soon IN
TIL, weeks coal report. This Is owing TO the fact,
Wo suppose, that boats which arrived this week
were loaded st Cumber!s:d before the strike.
About 70 or 20 schooECrs arc IL port waiting 70
be loaded, q much larger number than is usual.
