developments in London and vicinity.
where the police interfered with meet
ing that had been held for the purpose
OF organizing seamen, gave 1t more or
less publicity. and the recent receipt OF
information regarding the movement in
this country has made il a matter OF

quarters in this city. said yesterday that
he had received several communications
bearing on the subject, and he believed
American seamcn would lend their sup
port To the effort TO introduce an inter-

to eliminate the non-union men from the
business of sailing, and give the union a
footing that no future happening could
