all the teaming of the city. This was be
cause the master teamsters in conference
had decided to await Developments To-day
of them personally took out teams, doing
manual labor with the aid of foremen and
clerks.
All the railroad companies reported traffic
moving to their satisfaction to-day, yet to-
night the freight houses are blocked with
goods which gangs of Italians brought from
many places by the New York New Haven
& Hartford and the Boston & Albany roads
and strapping young country men gathered
in by the Boston q Maine Railroad had
been unable TO dispose of. The railroads
had solved the through baggage transfer
problem by sending it around the city over
their own tracks.
The steamship companies docks are in
worse condition than the freight sheds OF
the railroad companies on account of the
cOngested traffic. The great freighter Saxo-
MIA. Of the Cunard line made her dock dur
ing the day, but the East Boston longshore-
men were not working. The crew was then
set at work getting out the passengers bag
gage. The steamers Roman and Sestrian
also came in, the latter with the largest
cargo ever brought here The steamers
Parthian, of the Philadelphia line and Ker-
shaw, of the Merchants and Miners line,
which were scheduled TO sail to-day for
Philadelphia and Baltimore, respectively,
were unable to leave. The Parthfan's in
ward cargo has not yet been discharged
All the coastwise steamers have been sub
jected to more or less delay in leaving here.
The British steamer Tampico which arrived
Yesterday from Antwerp, had not unloaded
a pound of freight. The steamer Toronto
is due here from Hull, and had the strike
continued she would have unloaded at New
York.
The food situation has not become seri-
Gus, as reserve stocks were large and all
the big concerns had their own delivery
wagons. The serious feature of the day
was the growing scarcity of coal. The
manager of one of the largest coal com
panies said that only 100 of the 1,500 coal
handlers were at work, and they only cared
for 80 tons of the usual $500 tons daily
transported by wagon through the city
streets. The strike leaders did not stop
coal supplies TO hospitals, newspapers and
city institutions. The wholesale WOOL cot
ton and dry-goods trade was at stand
still.
The American Hide and Leather Company
this morning secured four drays and ten
draught horses, I'D with It's employees be-
gan handling its own freight.
II is now known that both the Boston
& Maine road and the steamship companies
were preparing to feed and house men
premises. The docks of the Wilson &
Furness, Leyland e. Warren and Domin-
ion lines. which are adjacent TO the Bos-
ton & Maine roads tidewater freight ter
minaIs are inclosed by high fences, the
gates of which are guarded by policemen.
Behind the fences the nonunion men would
have been safe from interference. To-
day about 500 Italians had been engaged
to do '"longshoremen's as work. Italians
were rushed TO the city from all directions
and set at work at railroad sheds. An
Italian paper published in the North End
came out with a story of the strike and
scathing rebuke by the editor 10 his coun-
trymen who. he said were thwarting the
strikers.
An official notice of the termination of
the strike will be printed i'm the morning
papers. and in addition committees Will
who cannot be reached through the press
in time to begin work at their regular hours.
