ance with a resolution adopted late
last night the water front federation,
comprising IA organizations, num-
bering Is, 900. went on a strike today.
The action is the direct outcome of
the lockout of teamsters and will
have for its immediate effect the ces-
sation of all labor in and around the
great docks of the city and San Fran
cisco bay, including the cities of Oak
land, Mission Rock and Port Costa.

are that a business stagnation will
ensue. Although a large number of
men were secured to fill the places
of the strikers, little merchandise is
being handled.

Penick went overheard.
The fact that Penick's pocket-book
was found in the water helps to sup
port this theory. Representative Pen

recovery of the remains to $500. The
drowned banker had an insurance of
$4,000 on his life. and the representa-
tive is getting evidence TO be presented

One of the most apparent facts in
the status of the strike yesterday was
the determination OF the strikers to

tion should he strong when the settle
ment takes place.

the strike is in progress is of an en-
cOuraging nature TO the strikers. who
claim TO have more than held their
ground since the strike began. and
since the opening Of the campaign they
claim TO have increased their member

Minneapolis. Mimi, July 3O.-Minne-

trac; to guarantee the wages of the
packers and nailers for year. This
information was communicated to the
dissatisfied workmen at a conference
yesterday morning. IL iS now up 10
the packers and uailerS to say whether
or not they Will strike. The millerS
stated their position unequivOcally. and
refused absolutely to entertain any
proposition looking to the signing Of
contract.
The men were informed by repre-
sentative millers mt the conference
that it was unfair i'm them to insist
upon contract. inasmuch aS such an
instrument must be made with ire
SpOnSible parties. BY that they meant
that the men, under a contract. would
have them at a disadvantage, as there
was nothing to prevent the packers and
nailerS from striking at any time and
leaving their employers in the lurch.
Even if the men were not disposed TO
strike because of any local grievance
they might be called out through some
action of other unions.
The original demand Of the men was
for five years contract at S2.75 a
day for packers and S2.2J for nailers,
an increase Of - cents a day each.
but they finally concluded to be salts
fled with a one-year contract, provided
