SEVERELY DENOUNCED.
An Important Decision to Vessel Owners
and Seamen ON the Lakes.

An Important Decision to Vessel Owners
and Seamen on the Lakes.
Judge Jenkins, in the United States
court at Milwaukee, rendered a de-
cision of great Importance to vessel
owners and seamen In 1890 sailors
who shipped on the schooner Shawnee
at Detroit for Milwaukee, after an ac-
cident to the steamer towing the craft,
refused to continue the voyage, while
the vessel was very slightly disabled,
until the captain had agreed to give
them each $50 in addition to their con-
tract wages. Upon the arrival of the
vessel the owners refused to pay the
advance and the seamen brought suit.
The court not only decided for the de-
PENDANTS but severely denounced the
seamen for attempting to coerce the
master, and characterized the action as
INSTRUMENTATION.
