The crusade of the coast seamen against
the clearinghouse masters is beginning to
assume definite shape. There was an i'm

advocate the shipping of coasting crews

the boarding masters, and the seamen asked
the ship-owners to instruct their captains to
select crews at the Office of the union The
ship-owners expressed willingness to do so,
and an agreement will be drawn up by the
seamen in few days, when mother confer
