SAN PEDRO, Oct. 24.-The strike of
the longshoremen at this port, which
has been dragging along for several
months. was practically broken last
night, when, at a meeting of the long
shoremen's union last night, forty OF
the members withdrew from the union
and declared that they would seek their
old positions on the docks here.
1t is probable that the old men will
be einstated, as the managers of the
wharves have been forced to employ
Russians and Mexicans and the con-
ditions have not been satisfactory to
the managers nor the merchants of
this city.
Lumber is being unloaded in this
port as fast as the vessels bring 1t
here, but the addition of forty expert
enced men to the working force will
be of material benefit, and the deflec-
tion reduces the ranks of the strikers
to mere handful.
