SHIPPING ITEMS. The barkentine John S.
Emery sailed from Boston March Sd under
command of Capt. Wellington M. Coombs of
Islesboro for Buenos Ayres with cargo of
6ss.S05 feet of white pine lumber and has not
been reported since she left the ligntship. The
barkentine is owned by John S. Emery &, Co.
She was built at East Boston in 1890, measures
1877 feet over all, 35.7 feet beam, has % foot
depth of hold, and a gross tonnage of 919.
Ralph c. Emery, treasurer of the company,
thinks that the vessel had been delayed bv
will be heard from. The name of the tug B.
F. Williams, recently purchased by Walter Ross
& Co., has been changed to Walter Ross. This
is the fourth name the boat has carried When
new she was the N. Y. Cent?. Ltg. Co. No. II,
then the New York Central No. IT, She is the
second boat to bear the name of Walter Ross
The old boat has been condemned and will be
broken up. She has been on the beach at this
port since last fall. Messrs. Crowell & Thur
low of Boston have bought the four -masted
schooner Mary T. Quinby from Washburn
Brothers of Thomaston on private terms. and
she will be added to their fleet in the general
coasting trade. The big five-masted schoon-
ers HARDWOOD Palmer and Elizabeth Palmer are
at Rockland, the Singleton Palmer at Searsport,
and the Gardner G. Deering at Bath, all await
ing charters. The schooner Puritan was
taken out on Gilchrests marine railway last
week.....The schooner Jacob M. Haskell,
which is partly owned in Bangor, has received
$3.50 on plaster rock charter for which she
got $l.65 on previous trip. Dividends of
$50 64th have been received by the Bangor
owners of the schooners Horace A. Stone and
Augustus H. Babcock, and satisfactory returns
have been received on other vessel property
owned in that city.

BOISE, Idaho. Aug. Gothic
announcement of j. F. Wallace,
one of the prominent engineers of
the country, that the Denver, Lar

Zimmerman's optimism and
spirit is a reflection of all the
rest. They struggle along some
how-and know they are going to
win. They get no regular strike
benefit.
eve were a small organization
only little while ago." said A.
Rosenberg, president of the inter
national union of lady garment
workerA the body that includes
these striking unions here in New
York. I'VE only had a small fund
about 100000. That's mos
gone, now. 1t takes $4,000 a
week to run this strike. We arc
getting some contributions from
other unions and from other cit.
les, and more help is in sight. We
help those who need it most, here
and there, one or two dollars at a
time, just enough to live"
So far, the strike fund has pre-
vented a single absolute eviction
no family has been thrown into
the street. Hundreds, probably a
thousand, dispossess notices have
been issued, but the unions legal
machinery is well organized, and
has fought successfully to date. All
legal means are taken to keep a
family in it's tenement home-the
delays and notices required. Often
the landlord, himself a lessee,
helps as much as he can, for he
poor, too. The union may pay
half a months rent. Often one
family will take in another.
Twenty-Five halls, scattered al
over the district, form the congre.
eating places, where the men anG
women go to learn the latest news
of the strike. Someone brings il
word that Potash & Pearlmut
ter" for instance, have capitulat
ed. A cheer goes up, and the
babel of Yiddish is resumed in ar
even higher key, with little note
of joy added. That means loo
jobs are open again.
The unionizing of the shops is
the last thing the employers con-
test, though they themselves have

alton.
The manufacturers have twice
resorted to the njunction-once
to prevent the assaults they claim
ed to fear would be made on strike
breakers, and within the past few
days to enjoin the strike itself!
They secured the first injunction
but the second has such a shadowy
basis that it cannot win. They
want the strikers enjoined from
striking on the ground that they
are striking for the closed shop!

OREGON CALLS FOR MORE

A telegram was received at the

men to fight forest fires in Oregon.
The officers at the camp cannot
act without authority from the

this afternoon the authority had
not been given.
1t will be impossible to comply
with the request for 500 men any,

This gives a total OF l.345. and to make out
