NO STRIKE
BOTH SIDES DENY THAT THERE
Is ANY TROUBLE AT
THE WAYS

Tho report that there was strike
or walk out at the Marine Ways plant
is erroneozs, the statement being de-
MED today by both Captain Mike Will
lisms, superintendent of the ways
company, and Mr.. Henry Carroll, sec
rotary of the oaullers' union.
1.-THE report that my caulkers had
walked out is incorrect and without
foundation" Captain williams de-
clared this morning" and can't i'm
agine where il originated, as Mr.. Car
roll states il was unauthorized and
that he would see that it was retract-
ed. "
Captain Williams stated that the
caulkers were not at work simply be-
cause he was not ready for them. A
car load OF decking has been delayed
and until it comes he can not use the
caulkers The caulkers had disagree-
ment over one member Of the union
which they asked Captain Williams to
settle, but as it was not under his ju-
risdiction and should be settled in the
lodge room he declined, and yester-
day afternoon the oaulkers met and
settled it among themselves.
The men all reported for work again
this morning but as there was none
for them. are idle. The decking will
arrive in day or two and the men
will then go to work.

LIBEL FILED
Local and a BrOokport Bank Act
Against Chattanooga.
The total Amounts Claimed are Less
than ssoo--Papers not Served.

Libel papers were to day filed in
the United States court here against
the steamer City of Chattanooga, now
on the ways.
The City National Bank Of Padu
osh, has claim of 1905. 80 and the
Brookport Bank of Brookport, Ill, has
. claim of s4o4 against the boat. The
papers have not yet been served.
The Chattanooga was in the Padu-
cab and Chattanooga trade when she
struck the rocks ten or twelve miles
above Psducah and sank few weeks
ago. She was raised by the under
writer's association, and brought here
and placed on the ways, where she is
now undergoing repairs.
The libel papers mean the money
will have to be paid or the federal au-
thorities will sell the stesmer.

STREET OPEN
No Further Trouble Expected
Now on Fourth Street.
The only Law Suit will Be over Con.
crete Filings on Third.

Fourth street from Jefferson to
Kentucky avenue is now open again
after being closed for several weeks.
The board OF public works yesterday
afternoon received the two blocks just
completed, ana all necessary now
for Contractor Il. @. Terrell to do is
to 20 before the general council, get
the balance que 90 per cent held back
in accordance with the contract for
the work, and get his estimates fcr
sidewalks. IL is not known whether
the council will allow the balance
without objection or not.
Contractor Terrell will also pre-
sent bill for several hundred dollars
for concrete placed between the ties
on Third street. The concrete on
Fourth street, member of the board
Of public works said today, has TO be
paid for by the street car company
under its franchise, but not that on
Third street.
Several lawyers who hsve read the
specifications for Contractor Terrell
say that the contractor can collect
from the city for this concrete, al
though it is very likely that the
city had no intention of paying extra
for it when the contract was drawn.
The trouble was that the contract
through ignorance or csrelessness was
left to read so the contractor could
leave concrete out between the ties, or
II forced to put IL in collect extra for
it. This question, however, will
come mp later.

afternoon battling ct Wallace park for

engineer. One shot struck over the
steam gusge, passing only few inches
above the head of Fireman Kennedy.
