HANDLERS ON STRIKE
MOBILE DEALERS IN BUNKER
COAL ARE HAMPERED.'
One Hundred Men Demand More
Money, which Their Employers
Declare They Cannot Afford
To Pay.


Mobile, May 29-tSpec ial )--Several
of the large bunker ccal dealers are
inconvenienced by a strike of laborers,
members of the Coal Handlers Union.
who are out on strike demanding a
material increase in wages.
There are about 100 men out and
work loading bunker coal into several
steamships was discontinued abruptly
when the men were ordered to quit
work. These men are paid IS cents per
hour, and went on strike to enforce a
demand for 40 cents per hour.
At the several coal yards barges for
supplying vessels with bunker coal are
tied up and idle. 1t was said that all
companies were affected by the strike
ana have refused tho demands.
The steamship Mercator of the Hub
bard -Zemurray Line, was forced to
shat to the steam coal hoist yester-
day, afternoon for her supply in order
to depart on time
The steamer Fort Morgan lies at the
fruit wharves with a part supply of
bunker coal, work having been dis
continued yesterday afternoon.
Coal dealers say they cannot see
their way clear to pay the increase de-
manded, in yiaw of the fact that bunk
err coal at this port Is much cheaper
than at all others, and the margin of
profit such as to prohibit an increase
as demanded. They point to the fact
that this same work was carried on
for number of years at the rate of 10
cents per hour, but was later increased
to 25 cents.
