Matter Rests With President keefe.

Chicago, July 23.-In the hands of
one man now rests the decision
whether tieup of the marine in.
lustries of the Great Lakes shall be
aecreed. This man is President D. J.
Keefe of the International Longshore-
men, Marine and Transport Workers.
association. AS result of the strike
Of tugmen, which has been in progress
iince April, the executive body of his
association empowered him to decide
whether the $4,000 members engaged
IN loading, unloading and operating
vessels on the Great Lakes shall cease
work to help the tugmen in their
strike against the tug trust.
If the decision be for a fight work
will be suspended on all the iron ore,
foal and lumber docks along the chain
pf lakes.
The fact that the Licensed Tug
mems Protective association was adj
mitted to membership in the long
shoremen's association while it al
ready had a strike on it's hands is
taken to indicate that it's officers ex-
pect help. It is said that the strik-
ng tugmen have for some time en-
1eavored to get the dock workers mix
ed up in their strike.
With the whole matter in his hands
for settlement it is likely that Mr..
keefe will visit Cleveland within a
week for conference with officials
Of the Great Lakes Towing company.
Upon the result of this meeting will
largely depend the future of the strike
against the company.
Should general sympathetic strike
be ordered at this time the result
would be disastrous to lake commerce.

OTSdSIVT TIdVCU at TUT.
Hamburg, July 23.-The Primus has
been partially raised and brought
nearer shore. The total number of
missing is now placed at 1O4. Sixty
one bodics have been recovered.

great lack of life-saving apparatus on
the Elbe excursion steamers. The
Primus is known to have had on board
only six life belts and a single boat.
The steamer Dolphin, which came up
later with four hundred passengers
also had only one boat, capable of
carrying seven persons.
