EMBARGO ON LAKE ERIE COMMERCE.

Buffalo, ~ Y, May 2.-The strike of
the longshoremen put an effective en-
barge on Lake Erie commerce yester-
day, and today it is expected that traffic
will stop today at all upper lake ports.
All unions affiliated with the longshore-
men either quit work or made prepara-
tions to quit About 25,OO0 men are
idle. and that number will be vastly in
creased when industries dependent upon
lake commerce for supplies are com
PEELED to cease operations.

LARGER BOATS NOT AFFEoTED.

Duluth, Mimi, May 2.-The marine
strike has thus far had no effect in Duluth
beyond the tying up of the tugs OF the
Great Lakes Co.
None of the ore, grain or freight hand
lers arc identified with the longshoremen,
and hence all boats are loaded as they
come to the docks The channels in this
harbor are such that by exercising a
little care boats can move without tugs,
and this they are doing The effect of the
strike will be felt here when the boats fail
to return from the lower lakes.
