from Boston and vicinity. was steaming
at half speed through a dense fog when
the schooner Rockiand. lumber laden,
doomed up dead ahead also bound for
New York.
The vessels were so close that a crash
was inevitable. The schooner sank IN
stantly. The captain was picked up by
the New Bedford liner Maine, but the
four members OF his crew drowned.
Parts of the Tennessee's rail were
torn away. the steering gear was dis
abled, and for a time II was believed
that the steamship, too, would sink.
The passengers rusned on deck in
their night clothes. Despite the Off

been recalled from a vacation.
While il was agreed at the meeting
yesterday not to strike until Friday
the men are In such a state Of mind
that a walkOut before that time can be
prevented only by extreme tact on the
part Of the companies.
ANY bullying tactics will result in
immediate trouble, I am convinced. The
situation IS in the hands Of the officials

and are careful there will be no strike
here before noon Friday
"A walkOut here will mean a general
strike. The locals over the country al
ways watch New York. They have con-

when New York goes out every office

about getting nOn-uniou men. There is

in a short time.

mass meeting yesterday were In favor
