Five hundred machinists, IT announced yes

been hired to take the places of the machinists
who are on strike in its repair shops 1t was said
that these men were competent and would be sent
all along the line to-day in place of the seven hun
dred strikers.
"A number OF the strikers I know very un-
willing 10 strike but they had received an order
from President O'Connen of their union TO quit
work. and suppose they thought it their
duty said j. c. Stewart. general manager of the
Erie, last night. There Is real merit I'm the
objection to the piecework system. BY this system
the harder working. more competent and more in
dustriouS a Is the he earns, and man
is paid in proportion to his value. 1t stimulates
ambition among the to excel. L do not believe
that there is any enthusiasm among the strikers.
and some of them returning to werk. Some of
them say they ready TO surrender their char
ters rather than remain strike"
1t said by the strike leaders that they were
in better position to win than they would have
been some years ago. as they were now working IN
harmony with the Amagamated Association of En-
here in various cities At one time the ArnalSa-
mated Association of Engineers and the Interna-

they agreed to work in harmony some time ago.

A meeting of the striking lOngshoremen

day work and G0 cents an hour for night work
We're granted. Previous 10 this a meeting Of the
executive committee of the union was held, at
which it was unanimously decided to keep up
the strike.
Patrick Connors. president of the Longshore-
mems Protective Uhion said yesterday that a
number Of affidavits from members of crews had
been obtained saying that they had worked as
lCngshoremen for vessels other than those for
which they had signed and that these had been
sent to Immigration Commissioner Watchorn.
The commissioner takes the stand that this is a
violation of the immigration law. because the
sailors are not properly admitted aliens.
Commissioner Watchorn said last night that
he had received number of complaints from
Connors and papers relating to them concerning
alleged violations of the law, and had turned
them over TO United States Attorney Stmson.

give any details. saying: The United States At
