Maine Men to Sail Tor klsalIks IRON
Portland.

A party Of II men, the majority OF
whom belong In Portland and the rest
of whom are residents Of Maine. have
organized themselves into company
and will sail from Portland for the
Klondike gold regions on January 1.
The names of nearly all Of these men
are known to the press but at their re-
quest they are withheld as many OF the
men now occupy good positions in this
city or in other places and are afraid
that they may not hold them as long
as they wish to ii their plans are
known by their employers. The plans
of these men to reach the gold fields Of
Alaska are extremely novel and If they
carry out their intentions they will
make the long journey with little cost
to themselves and in comfort and
safety. They have secured a good ves-
sci for the trip and their departure will
be taken from Portland. The vessel is
a bark and is now in this harbor. She
will be fitted up and provisioned for the
long cruise and will carry besides other
things large stock of those articles
which will meet with a ready sale on the
Alaskan coast. The men themselves

and are to share and share alike in any
of their discoveries or ventures. Some
of these men and the leaders Of the ex-
petition are engaged in the dredging
business now and have had many years
of experience in this line of work. They
understand the method of dredging
thoroughly and believe that by their
system they can obtain gold by the
barrel full. In this bark from Portland
the party will carry a light dredging
outfit and a steam launch in sections
so that 1t can be put together as soon
as the vessel reaches the Yukon. When
they reach the river the boat builders.
of whom there are two experienced
men in the crowd. will construct a light
scow and after landing the barks
cargo and disposing of the vessel if
possible. the men will land a part OF
the provisions onto the scow and TAX
ing it in tow with the steam launch
will proceed up the river. When they
get in the gold regions the dredging ap-
paratus will be set to work and the bot
toms of the small creeks and rivers will
be explored. In this manner the party
hope to make their pile. They are to
carry along supplies enough to last
them for over yeaf and will have
enough more to dispose Of at Klondike
prices 20 nearly pay the expenses of
their long trip around the Horn.
Leaving Portland on January l. the
company of Maine men hope to reach
the gold country about spring time and
he ready to get up into the heart of the
klondike region as early as the best OF
them. Apparently the plan is well ar
ranged and as all of those who form
the party are experienced men IN their
line of work, embracing as they do
nearly all of the useful trades, they
expect to come back to this section of
the country after few years of hard
ship boated bond holders and million

THE saockTow STRIKE.
It Spreads and Fight Against Chase Machines
Is Growing More Bitter.

Brockton, Mass, Sept. 20.-The great
strike of lasters and sole fasteners Is
spreading and an early settlement
seems less probable than it did on Sat-
urday. The lasters have unequivocally
declined to consider terms of peace un-
til the Chase Machine Company steps
| aside and gives positive assurance of
non-intervention in future disputes be-
tween the unions and manufacturers.
The lasters declare that retreat from
their position is out of the question.
The sole fasteners. too. have assumed
a most determinedly aggressive atti-
tude, and the trouble is spreading. Up
to noon 13 shops have lost their fasten-
ers, and it is extremely probable that
more will follow shortly. Unless some
settlement is reached soon the shoe in
dustry will be at standstill in many
of the shops.
The Machine Operatives Union seems
likely to take hand in the strike, and
conference between representatives
of the union and manufacturers was
called for today.
-Four more shops have been added to
the list due to the sole fasteners strike.
The sole fasteners at b. F. Reynolds
shop went out. late Saturday, and at
noon time those at r. 3. Grover & Cos.
quit work and Joined the strike.
The number of men out is not large
comparatively speaking, but the effect
on the shops in stopping all operations
is most thorough. Saturday afternoon,
number of other shops were visited
by Secretary McSherry, and it is prob
able there will be a number of new
shops included in the sole fasteners
strike, today.
There has been no change among the
| finishers. The only ones out are those
| of the George G.. Snow factory, who
| left, Friday afternoon. and it is prob
| able there will be other shops affected
by a finishers' strike at present. When
| asked about this, Secretary McSherry
| said he did not anticipate any ad-
ditionaI move on the part of the finish
| ers just now.
| This morning the employees of Pack
ard & Field came out and during the
| forenoon the sole fasteners at work for

Secretary McSherry gave out very
little information, this morning. At II
o'clock no movement of great interest
had been taken, but he gave out the
information that there would be a con-
ference. today. between manufacturers
and committee of the Machine Opera

rumor that the machine operators are
ready to mix in the strike.
