seamen on a Strike.

Boston, June 16.-The sailors who snip
from the port of Boston. nearly every
man of whom belongs to the Atlantic
Scamen's union, struck for an increase
in wages yesterday. It Is claimed by
the union that the falling off in ship
ping in the coal carrying trade, where
larger barges have been recently en-
ployed, and because of the railroad COM
panies having given lower freight rates,
have influenced shipowners to endeavor
to increase profits by a reduction Of
wages. The sailors. are of the opinion
that the reduction Of their wages will not
overcome these two methods Of compe-
tition. Thel efore 1t was resolved. to
make an aggressive effort to have wages
advanced.
