BARGEnEN ON STRIKE.
Captains of Coal Boats Want Higher
Wages.

The threatened strike Of the Tidewater Boat
mems Union, composed of the coal barge cap
tains. went into effect yesterday for an adj
vance in wages of % per cent. The business
agent OF the union said that in all nineteen hun
dred barge captains had struck. OF whom nine
hundred employed by thirty-three barge own
ers, had since gained their demands and re-
turned to work Independent OF the transporta-
tion companies. he said. there were four hundred
coal dealers who had their own barges and
towed their own coal from the coal depots.
unless we hear from the companies in the
general tomorrow and tie up every coal barge
in New York HarbOr- In order not to incon-
venience the public by a stoppage in the de-
livery of coal, we twice asked the transporta-
ton companies for conference and our request
was ignored each time It is ridiculous TO say
that the companies can fill our places. A green
man would not know what to do AS TO the
statement OF the companies that well
off at $40 month. rent free. in the cabins with
our families as II we had S65 month shore.
I wonder how they think 10 educate
our children. Do they think we pay pri-
vate tutors for them? We would much rather
live on shore, where the children could attend
the schools at the 500 month"
A number OF the heads OF transportation
companies had a meeting yesterday afternoon
in the Office of NJ & ]. Tracy. in the Washing
ton Building. where the situation was gone over.
Mr. Tracy said afterward:
1T is likely that statement will be made
tomorrow. At present We know only that soma
of the barge captains have struck We Will have
little trouble, I believe"
