FLASHES FROM CHARLESTON.
The Proposed Strike Along the
WherVes.

CHARLESTON, s. C, September 2-The
LOngshOremen's Union In this city disclaim
any participation in the movement made
yesterday for an increase Of wages. The
officers of the union say that the demand
was made by unauthorized persons, and
that the union will not ask an advance of
wages this year. They have elected two
stevedores, and are anxious to make con-
tracts direct with the cotton shippers, Tut
have not prohibited their members from
working for other stevedores.
There Is to be considerable rivalry among
the stevedores, and a slight advance in
wages during the busy season is not i'm
probable. The regular steamship lines, who
employ their hands the year around, sppre-
hend no trouble, although It is rurored
that they intend to make a voluntary ad-
vance Of wages during the season. Very
little work is In progress on the wharves or
the cotton presses at present, and there is,
consequently, no evidences Of excitement
visible.
