CANAL WOMEN RULE
One OF Them Held Boat Because
Seaman Insolted Her
Caused 200 Loss.
CFrom the Ney York Press.

One determined woman did what
the seamen's union might have had
much trouble in accomplishing. She
prevented the steamship Montauk
Point from sailing on schedule time
because one OF the crew made an in
sulting remark 10 her on an Erie
Canal boat, the captain of which is
the woman's husband, drew alongside
the vessel in Erie Basin TO take off
a cargo of chalk. The angry wife APP
pealed TO her husband. but before the
offending sailor could be pointed out
he had disappeared from the rail
The woman then ordered her husband
not to unload the vessels cargo.
The Montauk Point had cleared for
Newport News. The refusal Of the
canal boat captain to have anything
to do with the steamship put a prob
lem before Capt. Pinkham, her COM
mander. He was more angry than the
woman. He tried to plaCate husband
and wife and Offered apologies. but
the woman was obduratc. She threat
ened to quit the canal boat if her hus-
band attempted to take off one pound
of chalk. There was nothing for Capt
PinEham to do then but get another
canal boat He was not ACQUAINTED
however with the loyalty to each 9th
er of the families who live in the ca
nal boats that form a small colony in
the Erie Basin.
The second boat drew alongside
The skipper and his wife did not
| know what had taken place just be-
fore. When the woman who had been
| insulted saw the other boat ap-
preaching she told her story to the
| captains wife In moment another
resolute woman issued orders to her
husband, and the second boat sheered
away from the steamship.
| " WOE oirht horre tafora the ir~
OF the two women cooled, but by thai
time darkness had fallen. The delay
meant loss of about 5000 to the
agents.
Captains in Erie Canal boats ant
their wives belong to an old-fashion
ed stock. Many are religious anC
rear their children with care. In the
colony in the Erie Basin every morn
ing when the boats are tied up tn,
children are sent to the nearest pub
| lie school Some of the canal boat
are 100 feet long, and the thrifty wo
men, especially those with children
have attractive cabins. The NOR
prosperous families have pianos O
organs on board.

proposes that all disputes including
even those of national honor and ter
