OH
II was pointed out some weeks
lago that the national strike on
the great lakes would not only
involve the seamen, engineers
firemen, cooks and kindred
crafts, but also the longshore-
men, and perhaps other land
organizations; that the contest
would be continued throughout
the season, and would be waged
to the bitter end.
The fact that representatives of
Estate arbitration boards of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
lana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis
lconsin interested themselves in
this struggle, and that the Nation
al Civic Federation took a hand
In the affair, and that during the
past week all these representa-
tives were received informally"
and treated politely. but were Of
lficially snubbed by the leaders of
the Lake Carriers association,
who refused to even consider the
matter of discussing the question
lof a settlement, confirms every
statement made in connection
with this great strike or lock-
out, for lockout 1t really is, as
the carriers have declared
lockout against unionism, no mat
ter how DESTROYS they may be to
obtain the services of individual
union men.
There are big stages in the
present game. While the trust
magnates would prefer not to jar
public opinion violently by en-
ploying radical methods, yet they
are willing to brave a storm of

the moral effect will be that large
numbers of those who have been

to the union standard. And 1t is
mot improbable that the ramifica-
lions will soon cover a wider area.
Already there are significant rum
blings among the metalliferous

closely associated with the mar

Samuel Gompers will leave for
Europe on June 10. One of the
objects of his mission will be to
enlist the interest and support
of the seafaring workmen of the
old countries in the marine strike
on this side, and prevent men
from being lured to this country
Ito aid the vessel owners. Anoth-
er object is to study the political
methods employed by European
workers, which have proven high

years. 1t is rather coincidence
that the seamen's strike in Aus
tralia several years ago Led to the
formation of the Labor party.
which recently secured control of
the national government, and that
it was the shipbuilders' and engi-
lneers' strike in Great Britain
