BARGE CAPTAINS ON STRIKE.
Nearly 3.OOO quilt work They Demand
21 Per Cent. Advance I'm Pay.

About 1900 barge captains went on strike
Yesterday. The Tide Water Boatmen's
Union ordered the strike. The men say
they will remain out until a 25 per cent.
advance in pay is granted.
Walking Delegate Harvey OF the Tide
Water Boatmen's Union said that the union
had twice requested a conference with the
TRANSPORTATION companies on behalf OF the
barge captains. Each request was ignored.
"To-morrow. he said, unless the en-
blowers come to terms we will tie up every
coal barge in New York harbor and make
the strike general. We will give them a
chance of preventing a general tieup in
the delivery OF coal. IL is all nonsense 10
say that they can till Our places. As to
the statements of the transportation COM
panies that we can live with our families
on the barges and that $40 a month under
those circumstances is as good as s85 on
shore, I would ask how are we to have our
children educated? We would certainly
rather have the shore wages and have our
homes ON shore. We cannot pay for private
tutors on the barges."
A meeting of q number OF representatives
OF transportation companies was held in
the aftsrnoou in the Office OF VI. h j. Tracy
ON the fifth hoor Of the Washington Build
ing. Broadway. IL is said that they com
templated forming an association. None Of
them cared To discuss the strike beyond
saying that IL was a very pa4ial one.
