innate collapse though they admit thai
the struggle may be prolonged. Labor
leaders express themselves confident Of
victory, and say if necessary the strike
will be extended to include every port

ployed on town boats. The sand teams
ters went out this morning in sympa-
thy with the teamsters. This affects
5000 men in the building trades whose
supplies will be cut offs. The strike OF
packers has forced the American Can
ming company to close down, throwing
40O persons out of employment. Can
neries who depend upon it for their
supply OF cans employ 5000 men wo-
men and children, and unless the fac
tory can start up again within a few
days they will all be thrown out of en-
ployment. The ship owners associa-
ton will employ non-union men and
make an effort to handle the freight
