Longsh0remen Demand Increase in

Boston, Feb. 10.-Unless the longshoremen Of
Boston recede from their stand with regard to
a higher scale of wages and accept the COM
promise offered by the steamship agents. the
Boston waterfront seems likely to be the centre
Of big strike. The conference ended to-day
without immediate prospects of another meet
ing.
The longshoremen demand an increase Of
10 cents an hour to 40 cents on all bulk cargo.
and cents additional an hour for overtime. At
the meeting to-day the agents agreed to pay
cents advance on bulk cargo and cents adj
dttional an hour for overtime provided the over
time was reckoned from midnight instead of be-
ginning the overtime scale at the early evening.
This offer the union delegates declined They
offered. however, to waive the demand for addi-
uonal bulk cargo charge, provided the steam
ship interests would agree to pay the extra
overtime for night work for every hour of work.
instead of from midnight on. To this sugges-
ton the steamship agents would not agree.
There are 1000 longshoremen in Boston.

The independent operators will agree to what

their numbers have been growing smaller as
their holdings were bought in by the compa MES

dividual anthracite and btuminous operators
said that the independent men are in the power
of the companies.
Henry s. Fleming. secretary of the Bituminous
Coal Trade and OF the Anthracite Coal Opera-
tors Association. said that the latter which is
made up of individual operators, has shrunk i'm
membership until it is only a vestige of what it
once was. Its members would stand by the
coal carrying companies. he said Regarding anv
possible action by the Civic Federation he said.
l do not see any reason for Interference nv
the National Civic Federation in the present
dispute The miners and mine operators know
their own business best. There are few peoDle
in the Civic Federation who know anything of
mining. The negotiations between the miners
and the operating companies no matter how
they result should be looked on as A business
matter purely. There is no sentiment I'm the

FEE CASE IN o. S. SUPREME COURT
Question of Sheriff's Pay in Bankruptcy
Now Up for Final Decision.

Additional briefs were forwarded yesterday to the
United States Supreme Court in Washington by
Maurice B. Blumenthal, counsel for the Sheriff. in
the appeal taken IN the Victor & Andre bankruptcy
proceedings. The question involves the right Of
the Sheriff to have his fees paid before property
levied is turned over TO the receiver in bank
ruptcy proceeding following the levy.
Judge Holt decided that the Sheriff was not en-
titled TO such fees but the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals reversed the decision. Mr.. Blu
menthal has thus far succeeded IN having the
Court Of Appeals decision followed in all proceed
ings.
The payment Of these fees brings considerable
income TO the Sheriff.
