found large additions to the ranks OF
the strikers.
Nearly 5000 union men were ordered
out today, bringing the grand total OF
idle men up TO about 5000, with the
prospects of still greater increase to-
morrow One of the most important
developments of the day was the or
dering out of the longshoremen at the
docks of the Philadelphia and the
Metropolitan Steamship Companies. in
consequence of which vessels OF those
lines were compelled to depart with
only partial careoes. while the wharves
are partially filled with the freight
which the men refused to handle. Other
docks are in similar condition ana pUs-
mess there is practically tied up.
The members of the general Team
sterS Unon, comprising 1.400 brick,
sand, lime and cement teamsters. also
went out this afternoon. which vir-
tually ties up the building trades by de-
priving them of material with which
to work.
strong effort has been made to in
duce the Boston Central Labor Union
which is composed of ninety affiliated
trades of all description, to officially
endorse the strike by ordering out al
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
Labor Union has thus far taken nc
part in the fight
The state board of arbitration today
had before it President Cox, and the
strike committee of the allied freigh,
transportation council, but no way ol
settlement could be agreed upon. This
committee also waited upon Mayor
Collins, where the serious condition OF
affairs was discussed and he pfomiset
his best efforts to effect an understand.
ing between the parties at issue.
Deeming the situation sufficient,
grave to warrant his taking such ac-
ton Mr.. Collins sent a telegram to
Hon. M. A. Hanna, at Washington
asking that the national civic fedora
ton of whose executive committee Mr.
Hanna is chairman, should interest
itself in the matter and endeavor t,
effect a settlement by arbitration.
