We can meet the Issues that must neces-

LON GSHOREMEN STRIKE
FIREMEN AND OILERS ON LUM-
Der BOATS QUIT.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 5.-The monthly
men in twenty-one of the local elevators
were today ordered to strike on Monday II
an attempt is made to unload grain with
non-union men. The monthly men are en-
ployed in separating the different kinds of
grain as 1t comes out of a vessels hold,
and their work cannot be performed by
men unacquainted with the machinery and
the location of the different bins The union
men claim this will checkmate the lake
carriers In their attempt to elevate the
100000 bushels of grain af1oat in the har-
Dor. The coal handlers discussed the ad-
Visibility OF returning to work, but 1t was
finally decided to keep the men out.
The efforts of the lake carriers to break
the strike Is centered on the docks. With
the docks in operation enough non-union
men. can be secured to move part of their
fleet, This has been demonstrated at the
ore tracks, where the ore handlers are NOT
organized. Seven boats have unloaded and
cleared from there since the strike began.
The effort to start the grain elevators
Monday. II is expected, will be a supreme
test of strength between the unions and the
lake carriers.
The strike of the ore hand ers at the docks
of the Buffato Furnace Company was eff
fectively broken today by the employment
of non-union men. No attempt made
by the strikers to modest the men at work
there.
