DEADLOCK AGAIN NEAR END
Feeling Is Growing That the Big
Lake Tieup Is Practically
Broken.

Chicago. June 13-There is a grow
ing sentiment. not only among the mem
hers of the Lake Carriers association,
but also among the more conservative
of the masters and pilots, that the lake
tieup is practically broken.
The statements made by President
d. ]. Keefe and Secretary Barter, of the
Longshoremen's association, that there
would be no sympathetic strike on the
part of that organization seem to have
been a heavy blow to the hopes Of the
masters and pilots.
Many of the masters admit that they
are beaten, and some of the men who
were reinstated after the announcement
that the union had gone into the Amer
lean Federation of Labor have again
withdrawn.
Officials of the Masters and Pilots
association have called the attention OF
the federal officers to what is claimed
to be a clear violation of the law in
sending out vessels without full com
! plement of officers.
This federal law is claimed by Pres
ident Livingstone as not applying tc
| freight boats. He added that If the mas
| tiers and pilots sought to take up sucf
technicalities the lake carriers woult
retaliate by bringing charges agains
a number of masters for violating gov
eminent rules. which, if investigated
would cause them to forfeit their Ii
| censes.
