BALTIMORE, Md, May LIN accord
,fol1 loo ,iu1,f t,y
a mass meeting of affiliated unions a gen
eral strike of union workmen in the build
ing trades went into effect this morning. 1t
is estimated that up to noon today 1000
men have quit work, including carpenters
and affiliated workmen, but exact figures
have not been received at the builders ex-
change or labor headquarters
Several of the Unions demand a readjust-
ment of the wage scale and an eight-hour
day, but the main issue Is the union card
system, which will not admit of non-un1on-
lists working on the same building with
union men.
A number of employers granted all these
demands and their workmen will not strike.
1t is calculated that about $SOOO,O00, or
work now in progress, will be affected by
the strike.
Secretary Herring Of the builders ex-
change says there are enough non-union
men available to supply all the urgent de-
mands of the building trade. There has
been no disorder on the part of strikers

of the whole matter still remains in
doubt for the statement attributed to
the Lord Chancellor must not be con-
strued as foreshadowing the opinion
of the full court. Gaynor and Greene
would never be brought to justice If
legal technicalities and bubbles could
prevent, but the case has now gone
before a tribunal where small subter-
fuges will count for little in deter
mining large questions. And the APP
peal to the council makes the Gaynor-
Greene matter a large question. When
one nation appears in the courts of
another as a liti2ant there are neces-
sarlly momentous reasons for the pro-
ceeding. Gaynor and Greene have not
yet been convicted of the Savannah
harbor frauds. but they have preju-
diced opinion against themselves by
scuttling across the Canadian line. Can
ada will cheerfully surrender them, if
it can be proved that Justice Caron
acted beyond his powers when he in
terfered with the court of extradi-
ton. The Canadian desire for closer
relations with this country does not
include reciprocal reception of rugitives
from Justice.

years ago for melting rebellion. This

necessary to present a petition adj

AGAINST HARBoRMAsTER.

The shipping interests of the coun-
try won their fight against the Florida
harbor master law when Judge Wall
announced his decision in the case of
the ship owners against Harbor Mas
ter T. f. Mccall of Tampa. Judge
Wall decided the case. in favor of the
ship owners, holding that the act was
unconstitutional in several of its pro-
visions. and further that the harbor
master has no right to collect fees for
services not performed or not request
ed by the master of the vessel. AS the
case was appealed to Circuit Court
from Judge Robes court, Judge Walls
decision is the highest obtainable and
there is no appeal of the case. Judge
Nails decision practically takes from
the hitherto lucrative office of harbor
master in Florida all of its profits, and
ii will no longer be the soft snap that
it has been in the past
