GRAIN sHovELERs' STRIKE.
No Change in the Situation al
Buffalo

BUFFALO On. ", May S.-There was
no change in the situation along the
water front this morning. Work at the
elevators was proceeding quietly. The
contractors are making strenuous eff
forts to secure a sufficient number of
men from out of town to man all the
elevators, and claim they will be in full
operation by Wednesday.
The exporters of grain are suffering
as result of the congestion here. 1t
is estimated that fully ten million bush
els of grain have been sold for ship
ment abroad this month, and that many
of the exporters have engaged ocean
freight room for this month which can
not be used unless the grain is deliv-
cred in New York in time.
The State Board of Mediation and Ar
bitration, Harvey D. Gculder, counsel
for the Lake Carriers Association: Cap
tain Thomas Wilson, James Corrigan
and H. Coulby of Cleveland, who ar
rived in town early this morning, and
Gibson T. Douglas of this city, held a
conference with Bishop Quigley at his
residence. The conference broke up at
noon.
Bishop Quigley said: 1--WE discussed
nothing but the fundamental principles
of the situation. The details were not
entered into at all. The conference will
be continued this afternoon
About the last hope of a settlement of
the strike is based upon the result of
this conference.
Between $50 and 200 housemen in the
employ of Grafton & Meyer struck this
morning in sympathy with the shovel
ers- They operated the Erie, Central
and several other elevators which, in
consequence are idle.
Contractor Connors said: "Al the
men who want work at the docks will
be paid at the rate of 81. So thousand
bushels if they win return to-day. If
/ any man does not choose to come to
work his place will be filed"
! 1t was learned this afternoon that two
! hours before the lake carriers delegation
reached Bishop Quigley's residence,
President Mcmahon Of the Grain Show
4 elers' Union and two other officers made
a trip to the Bishops home. The Bishop
and the grain shovelers were in con-
ference for an hour before the mediat-
oTs and lake carriers arrived. the
! shovegers had finished their talk with
the Bishop and departed.

Organization.

Now and then things are written in
forcible language, on the necessity of Or
ganizaticn. The persons addressed are
usually those who are in some way at a
disadvantage, and who are suffering from
the organized aggression of some other
class. It is argued that the people of this
class ought to gather and discuss ways
and means, and prepare for concerted ac-
tion.
Organization is the war cry of the age.
and this principle is at the bottom of
much of the progress which has been made
In the present century. 1t is a step to-
ward law and order. and becomes, in skill
full hands, weapon of tremendous power.
Even the weakest, If united under corlpe-
tent leaders. are often able to defend them
selves successfully against strong but
disunited foes. One need only look back
at the history of the reform movements
of the world, in all ages. to see that this
is so. When there has been a ruling class
of corrupt character. committing depreda-
tions on its dependents secure in the
possession of wealth and authority, there
has always been developed a certain union
among the oppressed. and SO soon as a
leader came who could furnish the brains
for the mighty accumulated strength of
the masses, the ruling class has been over
thrown. This course Of affairs Il 80
familiar to the public that united action
has come to be looked upon as sort of
panacea.
But there Il a kind Of organization which
sftea wastes considerable time. money and
