BOSTON, March 12.-The second day

Nearly G,QO0 union men were ordered

One Of the most important develop.
ments was the ordering out of the
l0ngshoremen ut the docks of the Phil
adelphia and Metropolitan Steamship
companies, in consequence of which
steamers of those lines were compelled
10 depart with only partial cargoes.
while their wharfs are partially filled
with the freight which the men refused
To handle. Other docks along Atlantic
avenue are in similar condition, and
business there in practically tied up.
The members Of the General Team.
sters' union, comprising 1,40O brick,
sand, lime and cement transfers, are
also out which virtually ties up the
building trades by depriving them of
material with which to work.
A strong effort has been made to in.
dnce the Boston Central Labor union,
which is composed Of ninety affiliated
trades of all descriptions to officially
ind0rse the strike by ordering out all
its members, and that body has the
matter under consideration. The effect |
OF such action would be to paralyze |
business Of all kinds. The Central La
Dor union has thus far taken no part in |
the fight.
The union freight handlers and the
freight clerks Of the Boston and Maine
railroad, which are affiliated with the
knights Of Labor as well as with the
Allied Freight Transportation council,
were ordered out by the latter body
and stopped work for a time, but final
ly returned and finished out the day.
They questioned the right of the allied
council to order them to strike.
The state board of arbitration has
had before it President Cox and the
strike committee of the Allied Freight
Transportation council, but no way of
settlement could be agreed upon. This
also waited upon Mayor Col
Inns, where the serious condition of af-
fairs was discussed. and he promised
bis best efforts to effect an understands
ng between the parties at issue. Deem
ng the situation sufficiently grave to
warrant his taking such action Mr.. Col
ms sent telegram to Hon. NJ. A. Han
IA at Washington, asking that the Ma
ional Civic federation, Of WHOSE eXecu- c
i've committee Mr.. Hanna is chairman,
hOuld interest itself in the matter and
to effect settlement by ar II

Trade to be held tomorrow even
ing, when the matter of the New
City Assessment will be discussed.
A special committee of the
board has been examining the
assessment and will report at the
meeting.
The members of Council realize
that if the Board of Trade con-
siders the new assessment to be
too high it will so declare, and
that citizens will be up in arms
against it at once. If, on the other
hand, the board considers the
assessment to be fair, some who
are now inclined to object to the
figures will not do 50.
