BOSTON TRAFFIC is BLOCKED.
Sixteen Thousand Teamsters and
'Loneshoremen Are on Strike.
Boston, March 12.-The second day
of the strike found large additions to
the ranks of the strikers. Nearly
5000 union men were ordered out,
bringing the grand total of idle men
up to about 10000. One of the great
est developments of the day was the
ordering out of longshoremen at the
docks of the Philadelphia and Metro
politan steamship companies, in con-
sequence of which vessels of those
lines were compelled to depart with
only partially filled cargoes. while the
wharves are filled with freight which
the men refused to handle. Other
docks are in similar condition.
The Teamsters' union, comprising
1900 brick. sand and lime teamsters,
went out this morning, which virtually
ties up the building trade by depriv-
ing them of material with which to
work. Nearly all the drivers of the
New York and Boston Dispatch and
Adams and American express COM
panies struck. The streets have been
unusally quiet considering tae number
of men idle.
Labor unions having a membership
of over 5000 men voted to strike and
will join the army of unemployed. The
organizations include the coal teams
ters' union, lumber teamsters. wool
handlers, expressmen, 'longshoremen,
freight handlers and freight clerks
employed by the Boston and Maine
railroad and switchmen employed In
the yards of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad. This
will increase the strike to between
10000 and 25,000 men, and will prac-
tically tie-up all the business OF the
city. 1t was learned that Governor
Crane has been in conference with
the labor leaders and the other Off
cials in an endeavor to effect a settle

The speaker was banker. and one

"A pocketbook," he continued, sis al
most an infallible indication that the

and in most instances of saving dis
position. OF course there, are excep-
tons to all rules, but in forty years
observation l have not found a dozen
successful men In business who did not
carry wallet OF some kind. The
man who carries his money loosely in
his pocket is invariably a careless per-
son, and few men who are careless In
money matters ever accumulate much
wealth. Years ago when ! started in
the banking business on a small scale
l came in personal contact with every
man who wanted a loan from my
bank. / was a pretty good judge OF
human nature and could tell If the bor-
rover intended to pay the amount OF
the loan when 1t was due, II misfor4
tune did not overtake him. / made
study of my customers, and had
been In business but a short time be-
fore | noticed the pocketbook indica-
tor, If it can be called such. When
gave a man the loan he desired
watched to see If he put 1t in a purse
or in his pocket. III the money was
put in a wallet l felt certain that the
borrower was a man who would try
his best to meet the obligation when
1t was due. If he rolled up the money
and carelessly showed the wad of
greenbacks into his vest or trousers
pocket I wrote the letter ID" on the
book opposite his name, which meant
doubtful / don't mean that there
was any doubt about the payment, be-
cause I always required gilt-edged Sc
curity, but 1t was doubtful IL the bor-
rowet came to time at the expiration
of the note or mortgage. The man
who carefully counted the money hand
ed him and placed 1t In a pocketbook,
taking care that the bills were in
straight, was pretty sure to have the
semi-annual interest and the principal
when it fell due.
After forty years of daily observa-
ton l believe that a pocketbook is
necessary for man to save money.
Watch the man on the street car when
he pays his fare; If he takes the nick
ell or dime, or whatever the coin may
be, from a purse, you can put him
down as a saving man. l never knew
it to fail. 1t is the hail fellow well

carries his money in this pocket and
that one. The man who enters a sa-
loon and throws handful Of change
on the bar is the man who carries it
loose in his pocket He wants every
body to drink with him, be he an &C

from his purse takes a quiet drink
and goes about his business, would
be better off physically and financial
ly, too If he didn't drink at all, but

squandering his. money"
