A prominent vessel owner pointed out
the fact that in numerous instances the
mates of vessels are not joining the
strike movement. 1t was the demand
of the longshoremen that the organiza-
ton of the mates be recognized by the
Lake Carriers Association that led TO the
strike. The vessel owners believe that
under existing conditions the longshore-

most of the news of the shipping strike
originates in other ports President
William Livingstone of the Lake Car

of teleprams he has received regarding
the progress of the strike, but Daniel j..
Keele. president OF the Longshoremen,

abandoned their work, has not as yet
broken sphynx-like silence. 1t was
through President Livingstone Of the
Lake Carriers Association that the trst
news was obtained that President keeie
had ordered the longshoremen to strike.
Dispatches from Lake Michigan and
lake Erie ports Indicate that there has
been an almost unanimous response
among the local unions to President
Kcefe's strike order. 1t is impossible
however, TO get from the silent officials
OF the union here even an estimate OF the
number of men out, but unofficial esti-
mates set the figure at 10000.
