Seven of the Crew Picked Up

/ NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April co.
Nine Gloucester fishermen were lost off
Long Island on Friday night when the
fishing schooner J. w. Campbell of
Gloucester was sunk in squall The
seven survivors have arrived here to
tell the story. They were brought into
port by the Gladiator from the schooner
Norman, which picked them up after
they had spent and entire night and
day in an open boat without food.
The sinking of the Campbell was re-
markable in several respects. The fatal
squall was one of the most sudden and
terrific in the memory of the surviving
seamen. 1t was all over in about q
minute. 1t happened so quickly and
with so little warning that there was
No Time to Avert the Calamity
or provide for escape. AS it was, it
seems remarkable that there was a
single survivor. When tho squat
struck her the vessel careened under
the terrible blow and all realized that
their lives were in danger. Seven of
the 16 sailors quickly clambered up the
masts. No sooner had they done SO
than a second and far more powerful
gust of wind seized the craft and
seemed to lift it bodily out of the sea.
Then, as if in mighty grasp. the
vessel was wrenched and given a sud-
den twist with such violence that the
masts snapped off even with the decks
like toothpicks and were hurled far
away from the reach of the vortex
made by the ship as she fell back into
the water and sank like piece of lead.

PITTsBURG, April 20.-The Window
Glass Workers association, which is
the weaithiest labor organization ill
the world, may decide to fight the
manufacturers on equal ground by
erecting factories at various points to
be run on the cooperative plan. This
is the result of the determinations of
the manufacturers to close the factories
throughout the country on May ~.
The question will be submitted to a
vote of the membership of the organic
