LIFTING THE EMBARGO.
New Haven Road Claims to Have All
the Men Needed.

New York, May 25.-Thc embargo OH
south bound freight at the Mott Haven
yards of the N. Y, N. II. & III ID. Il. re-
sulting i'll the strike on the river trans
fer boats, yesterday, was being gradu-
ally lifted, today, and the officers of the
company announce that they expect
soon to have traffic moving without
interruption. Seventy-fVc freight
handlers who had been engaged to take
the places of the strikers had worked
throughout the night and by today, it
is said, had succeeded in bringing about
some degree of order, although the
congestion by no means had been en-
trely relieved. Practically all atten
ton was directed toward unloading
freight trains and lighters and there
was little movement of the loaded cars
or transfer barges tied up at the pier.
New men experienced much difficulty
owing TO unfamiliarity with the sur
roundings and the work proceeded
slowly, but the foreman said they soon
would be as we'll qualified to handle
the freight as tho more experienced
men who left their posts, yesterday.
Groups of strikers loitcred around the
yards outside the lines drawn by spec
sign of violence.
Along the East river front there was
practically no change from the changes
| obtained yesterday. Order and quiet
prevailed at all the piers and the work
of unloading the various Sound boats
as they came in proceeded without in
| terruption.
o. NJ. Shepherd, superintendent of the
| New York division of the N. Y. N. Fl.
6 II. Railroad, said. today, that not
more than 500 cars of freight were af-
| fcctcd by the strike in the four yards
| of the company near this city. THE
| three-quartcrs of the usual number of
| firemen have been employed. all of
them non-union men," said Mr.. Shep-
herd, land before the day is over. it is
| expected that We shall have q full COM
PIGMENT. No effort will be made to
| move much freight by water, but per-
| ishable merchandise will be handled on
| the two large boats. the Express and
the Maryland. Our men are not out at
| New Haven and Boston and no trouble
is expected at these two points. Much
of the local and through freight is be-
| ing handled by the Poughkeepsie divi-
sion.
| report that about 100 Italian freight
handlers, who had worked at the piers
| on the East and North rivers. yester-
day. had left their work and joined the
ranks of the strikers, today, was de-
MED by Captain Miller, general super
intendent of the marine district of the
New Havnn Road. He said that 10
| Italians who had applied for work. to-
| day, had been turned away as there
| was nothing for them to do. Full crews
of men were at work at all the piers, he
said. Capt. Miller added
''As far as the marine district is con-
ccrned the conditions are normal. There
| is nothing to show that there has been
any trouble. The transfers of passen-
| gers and freight has been resumed on
all lines. All the boats left on time
! from both terminals with full cargo
| of freight. The new line to New Bed
| ford was also opened"

sympathy with the New York men who

Mr. Donovan said that as yet the
strikers in New York had not asked the
Boston freight handlers to declare a SYM
pathetic strike. and IF such request
should he made the local freight hand
lers would not grant it. Furthermore.
and all freight that comes to Bostoa
from New York. regardless of how it i:
handled on the New York end of the line
considerable i'll feeling between the local
freight handlers who are affiliated with
the knights of Labor and the striking
part of the American Federation Of Labor.
This ill feeling dates from the time the
freight handlers struck in sympathy with
the tcamsters. and union freight handlers
from New York and other points alonu
the rail road who were not connected with
the knights of Labor came to Boston and
handled the freight that the local men
refused to touch.
Now that the union freight handlers
connected with the Federation desire as
slst1ncc in their fight against the rail-
disposed to aid them in any way.
In speaking of the strike Master Work
man Donovan said: 1T would be carry
handlers i'm New York, Fall River and
Providence to ask is to go out in sympa
thy with them at the present stage of af-
falrS 1hcr" is no excuse for them ask
ing us to strike until after the engineers.

Now Meets Approval Of Strik-

But Company's Promises to the New
Men Will Be Kept.
Boston Handlers Will Not Help the
New Workers.

New York, May 25.-L. J. Curren or
Chicago. president of the freight hand :
Iers organization, tonight, denied ,iiat
he had ordered q general strike along
the line of the New York, New Haven
e Hartford Railroad. He said that
he had received word from Providence,
New Bedford. StoninSton. Fall River
and Waterbury to the effect that al,
the freight handlers and marine fire
men had stopped work, but that tn :.
action was against his advice and be-
cause the men desired to stop work
at once rather than at a later date.
No men had been called out i'm Boston,
he said. and in all probability they
would not be.
Captain Miller, general manager o.
the marine department of the railroad
was mistaken when he said l gave an
ultimatum demanding the discharge OF
the new men," added Mr.. Currcn. MY
demands were and aIe that all our men
be taken back in body, and my pres
cnt proposition through the Civic Fed
GRAFTON is that we be taken back on
the old terms of 50 cents an hour pend
ing arbitration"
Capt. Miller after saying he had re-
placed both striking freight handlers
and striking 1ircmen, stated that the
offer of the Civic Federation to medi-
ate had been received. He had replied
that no conference with the strikers
would be granted, as ii WAS useless.
He had promised the new men to Keep
them permanently, and he would keep
his promise.
