was a general strike of the shipbuilding
trades.

strike of all the shipbuilding trades would
be called in sympathy with the narine
machinsts against the Townsend Downey
Alliance" as he called the Metal Trades
Association. The Crescent company il a

the citizens, committee Of whom is trying
TO induce Receiver Smith to reopen the
Crescent yards, are much exasperated that
there should be so much strike talk at the
present time.
The timers Of Elizabeth went on strike
this morning They had only Yesterday

agreement made by their committee with
the bosses. settling the trouble, was sub
mitted to the local union last night, il was
rejected because il contained a clause
against sympathetic strikes. The plumbers

to reduce their wages the members Of the
Soilermakers and Shipbuilders' Union

port from Monastir declares that the Turks
butchered 200 Bugarians near there after
they had surrendered.
There are conflicting accounts OF what

many women, stripped many naked and
killed about 300 local Bulgarians and 90
innocent Greeks and Wallachians.
About 5000 people are now homeless

Turkish version from Constantinople
says that forty-four persons, including
two women, were killed during the opera
tions at Krushevo. Two women we're
violated by troops. hundred insurgents
who were taken prisoners were marched to
Monastir and released.
1t is reported that the Sultan has sent

contemplates the settlement there of at
least 800 negroes for farming purposes,
and some have already arrived. Under
those conditions Mr.. Bowser declares,
there is grave danger, and he urges the citi-
zens to refuse to rent or sell property of any
kind to blacks or to give them any employ
ment He also deplores the friendship for
the negro manifested by Congressman
Crumpacker, for whom, he says, hundreds
of black babies have been named. He
charges the Congressman with respon-
sibility for attracting the attention Of these
settlers to his Congress district.
