vention be adopted. Among some addresses
offered was one by Delegate c. D. Duffy

teller to guard the interests of each can

to the effect that n there were no under

STOKERS REFUSED TOWORK
MUTINY on BRITISH TRANSPORT

Muleteers Aboard Also Caused TrOu-

at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS. September 4-Instead
Of having obtained good start on her long
Journey. the British transport Monica m.
with 100 mules for South Africa, which
cleared Saturday night from this port. has
been anchored In midstream few miles
below New Orleans for forty-eight hours.
A mutiny on board caused the delay in the
sailing OF the transport. English stokers
refused to work alongside of Danish stok-
ers and Chicago muleteers rebelled against
the quality of the food furnished
All day the acting British consul at this
port, Mr.. Donnelly, the agent OF the vessel
and a commission of British ship captains
wrestled with the problem which confronts
the big steamship. Late last night scores
OF the ringleaders OF the mutiny were
placed In prison.
The Montcalm cleared Saturday night and
dropped down the river a few miles. In
tending to start for the gulf Sunday. Sum
day. however, the British stokers refused to
go to work. They had learned that four
Danish stokers had been given places in the
ships crew, and they refused to handle a
shovel of coal until they had been dis
placed Then a complication developed In
another quarter
over seventy muleteers had been shipped
and of the seventy thirty hailed from Chi
oago The Chicagoans had had one meal
from the ships fare and went on strike.
resort the troubles were reported to the
acting British consul. The latter called in
commission of British ship captains who
happened to be In port and ordered them to
sit as a commission upon the ships stores.
They did so and reported them clean and
wholesome.
The agents said that the Danish stokers
should stay and the captain was ordered to
start at once for sea. He attempted to
carry out his orders. but the men rebelled.
The muleteers began to make all kinds of
threats and a riot was in progress aboard
when the law was appealed to and whole
sale roundup of the ringeaders was in
augurated.
At first the report came from the point
OF which the Montcalm was anchored that
Seventy-fve men had been made prisoners
but only forty were marched to jail. They
were the British stokers 1t seems that the
muleteers got wind of what was going to
happen and made their escape. The stok-
ers are being held on the charge of contem-
plating q breach Of the peace until the act
ing British consul and the captain Of the
Montcalm decide on what course to pursue.
