SWEATERS MUST G0'
Over 10000 London Dockmen
 Now on Strike.
coNTENDING FOR A PRINCIPLE
They Will No Longer Submit to the Ob.
 noxious Sweating" Operation.

They Wish to Deal With the Companies
 Strike Spreading Among Men In Other
 Occupatlons-Socia Burns Praised for
 the Pcaceable Course He Is sPursuing-The
 Police Preparing for Trouble.
 LONDON, Aug. 24.-The strike of the
 dockyard employees Is spreading and em-
 braces large numbers of men in other
 occupations. The carmen employed by
 Pickford & Co.,, general carriers. are
 joining the strike as are also the rail-
 way carmen. The laborers in Spratt's
 biscuit factory have struck and the
 works are closed. All classes of un-
 skilled labor in London threaten to join
 the growing movement and in the event
 of their doing so, trouble Is feared, for
 which the police arc preparing.
 The great strike seems to be as far from settlement as ever. The difficulty
 is that the chief cause of complaint on
 the part of the mon, the system known as ''sweating," is one which the ship owners, with the best intentions in the
 world, cannot abolish without entirely
 revolutionizing their whole business. Under this system the shipowners, in- stead of dealing directly with the labor CTS. employ only their foremen, and these in turn hire their men. securing for themselves the difference. between tho wages paid by the companies and those to which they can compel the la borers to submit
 The men insist that the companies must hereafter deal with them direct and that they will no longer submit to the "sweating" operation. Their lead CTS say that it is not a question of wages at all, but they arc contending for a principle. Whether what they earn by working for the companies be much ol little, they say they want it all, and will no longer permit the sweaters " tc rob them of a part of it.
 Burns, the Socialist leader, who Is al the head of the movement, and who has so far conducted 1t with creditable mod | eration and good judgment, says tha the men will certainly gain their point 1 as they are unit in demanding tha the old system must go. He is earning golden opinions by the course he is pursuing, and it is due to his efforts 1 alone that frequent collisions between the more headstrong of the 40,0o' strikers and the police have beer ayerted.
