The New Orleans SteveAores Decide 60 0e
Control OF the Fruit Unlosdine.

The New Orleans SteveAores Decide 60 Get
Control OF the Fruit Unlosdine.
NEW ORLEANS. May 2-During the height Of
the Malta excitement here. whom the anti
italian sentiment was strongest, II was suR-
eested that the business Of unloading fruit
vessels ought TO bs taken from the sioilians.
and that II this was done It would materially
reduce our italian colony. Nothing more was
heard about this proposition until this week.
when It was announced that the Stevedores'
and ,Loneshoremen's Association. including
many thousand members. had determined to
act on tho suggestion. and that very strong
effort will be made to got possession OF this
business.
The association does all the unloading Of
vessels ct this port except those laden with
fruit. When the fruit importation business
was started some years ago II was OF 90 little
importance that tho association did not think
It worth while to interfere. and the Italians
wero allowed to control It. II has grown 70
great importance since then. and the associa-
tion has decided 70 try and drive out the
Italian labor. The Italians absolutely monop-
oizs this business. and while they have NO
organisation. or at least profess to have none.
they manage to freeze out every one else who
competes with them.
The Stevcdores' ana Lohgshoremen's Asso-
citation declares that whenever the importers
have employed other labor they have Jared
better than with Italians. It will therefore in.
sist that only union labor shall be employed
and that the unloading Of fruit vessels shall b
carried ON under the Same rules and reeula-
tions 40 govern all vessels which arrive at this
port with other cargoes. There is no question
Of tariff involved, as the men are thoroughly
satisfied with tho wages paid. They simply
propose that union labor be employed In prof.
erencs to the Italians and announce that do.
mand to that effect will be made upon the i'm
porters in few days.
The Italians will not abandon this business
without struggle. and II Is . struggle whore
the question will not be simply one Of union
and non-union labor. but Of race as we'll. and
the feeling in regard to the Italians has By NO
means subsided yet Tho struggle means .
great deal to the fruit trade Of New Orleans,
and to the italian colony. which will be cut
down one.half II tho stevedores and long
shoremen succeed In crowding the Italians
out Of this business.

,spECrAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
WILKEsBARRE, Dec. 31.-No little ex-
citement was caused here to-day when it be-
came known that the chamber in which the
eight men supposed to have been lost in the
South wilkesbarre shaft in March last had
been penetrated and the decomposed remains
of the eight men recovered. During these
nine months, while the bodies of the unfor-
tunate men were being incinerated, their
families and friends have suffered agonies
by the suspense which had been repeatedly
made worse by the many false rumors
which buoYed the hope that they would at
least be allowed the poor consolation of
placing their loved remains at rest.
The revelations disclosed BY to-day's dis
covery crushes even this hope. Fragments of
remains only can be recovered, and Identification
can only be made by means of certain articles
of clothing. Tho body of Frank Gull, which
has been taken out. vas identified by brace
which he wore upon his leg. Another is sup
posed to be James O'Donnell, recognized by his
garments, while two others may be Jamison
and Thomas 0'Donnel. as there are no marks
or means of distinguishing them. -Four others
are still covered by the debris, and by tomor-
row night may be found by the men who are
working with renewed vlgor and the hopes of
recovering their comrades.

THE WAR AGAINST COKE DEALERS.
The Contest by Furnace Men Seems to Have
Extended This Way.

The Contest by Furnace Men Seems to Have
Extended This Way.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
SCoTTDALE, Dec. 3L-The lessening of or
ders by furnacemen and other consumers of
the Connellsyille coke, because of prices, and
other obvious reasons, is having depressing
effect on the coke markets. The prevailing
car famine is cited as one of the disturbing
factors, but the main cause is that given above.
The II. c. Frick Coke Company gave notice to-
day that they would bank for an indefinite Pc
riod ], 100 ovens in the region next Monday ana
Tuesday. Twenty-Five per cent of the whole
number of ovens were blown ont a short time
ago, and coupled with the numerous shut
downs noted above, will have damaging ef-
feet on the business of the entire region.
Nearly l.500 more men will be thrown out of
employment
Seldom in the history of this region have
there been so many idle men as now. The
men are drifting hither and thither in search of
employment The miners not involved in the
shutdown are all bearing share of the bur-
den and are dividing their work equally with
their fellow-workmen who were less fortunate.
BY this division of work they can scarcely
make living wages
Last week the Frick Company agreed to a re-
duction of % cents on the ton, but this has not
soothed the wants of the furnacemen tor they
desire further reduction of 20 cents. BY the
movement of the Frick Company to-day, it was
made plain that the operators prefer banking
their plants rather than agree TO a second re-
ductiop.

HUNTING HIS MOTHER.

Charles Williams Says Mrs. Probert Stole
Away While He Was Asleep.
Mr.. Charles J. Williams. of Munhall, son of
Mrs. Mary A. Probert, who secured a ticket to
Maynard, o, from the Department Of Charities
by saying her son had put her out of the house,
denies the story entirely. Mr.. Williams says
that his mother, who is a very old woman, has
been ill for three weeks and under doctors
care. She spoke of going to Homestead, and
tion to leave the house. While he was asleep
she left home, came TO Pittsburg, got her
ticket and left the city.
Mr.. Williams does not know who her friends
can be in Maynard and is making every effort
to have his mother located and returned to her
home with him.
