Delegates representing So local I'M
ions from various lake ports met here
yesterday and decided 10 take this &C.

members say that If they go out near
~ 1000 dock laborers Will come with
them. They deny that theirs is a
sympathetic movement with the strike
OF the engineers. firemen, cooks and
water tenders. but the fight being
waged by the latter will be greatly
aided by similar action on the long
