MAY BE TUNNEL STRIKE
Effort to Umonize Tube Workers
Basis of Trouble.

1t was rumored last night that the Sound
steamer C. H. Northern, which brought a. load
of strike breakers to New York just before the
subway strike was declared, was on her way to
this city. It was also reported that the Northam
was engaged to bring strike breakers here in
anticipation OF a strike which Is said to be I'm
minent in one or all Of the tunnels now under
construction.
None of the representatives Of the contractors
for the various tunnels would admit last night
that any trouble was feared. There were plenty
of rumorss in circulation. One that six
hundred men had struck in the tunnel which
is being constructed by Pearson & Son from
East 33d street TO Long Island City. Another
that the Belmont tunnel the only one OF
the tunnels which the union has any con-
troll, was to be used by means OF strike a
lever to organize the others
The tunnel for which Pearson & Son are the
contractors is on the open shop plan, the
only union men being the engineers. double
drum holsters and firemen. Practically the same
conditions exist in the other tunnels, with the
exception of the Belmont tunnel
In the Pearson tunnel which has been the
chief target Of the unions, there have been many
strikes Of the non-uniOn workers, and recently
the hoisting engineers and some of the regular
engineers quit, but this strike was reported as
having been settled. Every effort has been made
but up to the present time these attempts have
been unsuccessful The committee Of the Cen
trail Federated Union appointed TO unionize the
tunnels decided yesterday to make final effort.
James Holland, of the Eccentric Firemens
Union, chairman of this committee said last
evening that he had heard of no new trouble
In any Of the tunnels.
Il have written to Managing Engineer Japp, Of
the tunnel at East 33d street, he said, ask
ing him to name date when our committee
can meet him with view the unionizing of
this tunnel. We intend to do nothing until we
hear from him..
James Hand, of the Eccentric Engineers
Union, and Matthew McConvllIe. OF the Safety
Engineers Union, are also this committee.
Both said last night that they knew of no fresh
trouble the tunnels, but that If the nOn-uniOn
men had struck they would not know about it.
The assurance of the officials in charge of the
various tunnels that there was no trouble was
untrue in respect to some Of the tunnels, and
more trouble, it was learned good authority,
is pending. A general walkout in at least two
of the tunnels under construction. 1t was said,
might occur at any moment It reported
that many Of the tunnel workers had quit.

BRITISH CABINET SPLIT.
Members DiUided on Question Of

London. July 12.-"The Express this morn

whether the navy shall be maintained in con-

weakened considerably and rival nations permit

supremacy.

Cabinet decided to reduce this years shipbuild-

protests from the Board OF Admiralty experts.
including Sir John Fisher admiral OF the feet,
all OF whom threatened to resign If the Cabi-
net persisted. At the Cabinet meeting on Tues
day there was a prolonged discussion, but the
majority stood steadfast for the reduction. The
protest. however, had the effect of postponing
consideration OF the naval estimates to July %.

SHAW MAY BUY SILVER.
Shortage of Coin for Crop MoUing
Needs the Cause.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. July 1.-THE United States
Treasury may soon be forced into the market
to purchase silver bullion. because of the scarcity
of severe shortage in the crop moving season.
Secretary Shaw is considering the advisability Of
purchasing a considerable quantity Of silver
bullion. The bullion purchased under the act
of July IA. 1890. was exhausted more than a
year ago.
There is some doubt as 20 the authority fer
purchasing new silver bullion without special
legislation for that purpose, but the statutes are
being carefully examined and If authority is
sidlary coin is still pressing the purchase will
be promptly made,
This will be the first purchase Of silver In years
Treasury officials anticipated that there would
be legislation by Congress at the last session to
enable the recoining OF uncurrent silver dollars
into subsidiary coin or the issuance OF fresh
supply Of S. certificates to relieve the famine in
small bills, but both these measures failed of
enactment and the inelastjcity Of the currency Is
now being put to a severe test.
There are only a trif1e over 100000 silver
dollars in the Treasury. and last year. in the
