they obtained several rifles, was only

car was badly wrecked by dynamite,
but the robbers were forced to take to
the mountains before they could gath
er up the valuables in the car. Two
sheriffs, with posses, are hunting the
robbers.
When the train reached a point three
miles west of Parachute, two masked
men crawled over the tender of the en-
gine. They placed pistols at the heads
of Engineer Allison and his fireman
and made them stop the train. Three
men who were waiting on the tender
then jumped down and uncoupled the
express and baggage cars. These cars,
with the engine, were run two miles
further west. Messenger D. M. Shea
refused to open the express car ano
piled the baggage up in front Of the
door. The robbers, with a stick of dy-
namite, blew away the door Of the car.
A stick of dynamite was then placed
against the lock of the safe. At this
point, Brakeman. Shellenbarger, who
had been ordered to lemain with the
passenger coaches, two miles behind
came running up with lantern. One
of the robbers shot him in the leg.
When the robbers saw that the train
crew were coming, they fed to the
mountains. One of them, as he jump
ed from the express car, grabbed one
sealed bag which had been blown clear
out of the safe. This was the only
piunder which was taken.
1t was reported today that the bas
taken by the robbers contained $1,000

New York, June S.-Five thous-
and coast marine firemen. members
OF the Marine Firemen's union. OF
this city, have been ordered TO strike
by Daniel Sullivan, the general secre-
tary Of the national executive board
Of the Marine F1remen's council.
The strike Is expected to extend
to all the coast cities from Portland,
Me-. to Galveston. Texas. According
to the expectation OF Secretary Sui
livan. about $4,000 men will be out
on strike within the next two weeks.
The firemen declare that their
strike, although called while the New
York. New Haven and Hartford rail-
road freight handlers are out, is not
sympathetic. neither Is IL for in
creased wages or shorter hours, but
to do away with what the members
Of the union consider to be their
greatest grievance, "the crimp" sys-
tenn.
Secretary Sullivan tonight gave
out statement as TO the firemen's
grievances. in which he said:
The 'Crimp' is a fellow who goes
to the high officials of coastwise
lines and gives him money to con-
troll the shipping or firemen. These
'crimps' make anywhere from $4,000
to $1,000 a year out of the poorly
paid and hard-worked firemen. This
money Is taken out OF the wages OF
the firemen on every trip. and then
the 'crimp' meets the head of the line
and shares with him the blood money
he has taken from the firemen.
I'VE have protested against this
system to the representatives OF the
various coastwise lines. and they have
met our protest with denials that they
had dealings with the 'crimp,' when
we offered to prove to them that such
was the case. The reason why they
stand up for the 'crimps' is because
there Is big graft I'm 1t for the man
higher up.
Our demands. upon the compa-
nies were fair. We asked five OF the
companies to abolish the 'crimp' en-
tirely and recognize our union. and
our demand was refused. From three
companies we asked an increase of
16 1-2c. a day. and this was also re-
fused.
Our organization has swept the
'crimp' out Of existence I'm the ports
Of Boston, Philadelphia. Norfolk and
Mobile, and we are going to do the
same thing right here in New York.
