SEVERAL THOUSAND MEN WILL
BE THROWN OUT or EN-
PLoYMENr.
REMARKABLE LABOR CONFLICT
ALL KINDS OF CHARGES OF CON.
sPIRAcY AND GRAFT ARE
MADE,

Duluth, Sept. 19.-Present prospects
are that several thousand men en-
ployed in and about the mines and
on the ore railroads and docks in Min
nesota will be thrown out of employ
ment soon as result of the strike of
the Masters and Pilots association on
the steel corporations boats. This ef-
feet is inevitable if the fleet, which is
the largest individual fleet flying the
American flag, continues to go out of
commission until all are laid up.
The fight will not embarrass the
steel corporation, for it's supply of ore
in furnace yards and receiving docks
is said to be ample to feed the fur
naces until next May
The -s!aa corporation shipments
will dwindle to a comparatively small
volume of special grades in wild
boats. All steam shovel mines will
so out of commission and the under
ground mines will be worked with re-
duced forces, producing and stock
piling.
What is more serious is the pros
pect of a general tie-up of the lake
fleet, since the masters and pilots
cannot hope to win against the steel
corporation fleet this season, because
of its big ore supplies already deliv-
cred.
If the strike continues it will cost
st. Louis county hundreds of thou
sands of dollars which otherwise
would have been paid for labor before
the closing of navigation.
To Tie Up the Fleet.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 19.-The big
fleet of the United States Steel cor
poration, which has been tied up by
the strike of the Masters and Pilots
association will be sent to winter
quarters as rapidly as the boats ar
rive at the laying-up ports. All crews,
with the exception of just enough men
to get the boats ready for winter, will
be discharged. This is the outcome
of one of the most remarkable strikes
in the history of the great lakes, a
strike in which all kinds of charges of
conspiracy and graft" are being
made.
A. B. Wolvin, general manager of
the fleet, reached here last night from
Duluth, and after looking over the
situation said:
"Our attitude in the matter is en-
tirely passive. We did not begin the
affair 1t is the other side which
started it and we have nothing to do
except tie up the vessels as fast as the
mates leave, and this we shall con-
tinue to do until the boats are all tied
up. What else can we do"
