Formally Declared at British
Ports but Evidence of En-
thusiasm Is Lacking.
SHIP OWNERS INDIFFERENT
Small Hope Of Either Germany,
Norway or Denmark Joining
in the Movement-Places
Can BE Filled.

London, June 14-The seamen's
strike was formally declared tonight
at London. Glasgow, Liverpool Car
diff. Bristol, southampton and other
British ports, and also al Belgian and
Dutch ports, but the chances of any
real international strike being de-
Clarcd seem remote. SO far as to-
nights indications show. the confidence
of the shipping federation is well
placed. for at hardly any of these
ports was enthusiasm displayed for
the strike and the ship owners main
tain an attitude of Indifference. seem
ingly satisfied that they will have no
trouble in filling the places of the
strikers, who. thus far, can be counte
by hundreds.
Tom Mann at Liverpool, Benn Tillett

Southampton are doing their utmost
to galvanize the movement. but with
small success. They demand chiefly a
conciliation board and the establish
ment of a minimum wage. and com
plain bitterly of the Wholesale en-
owners.
There appears very small hope here
that either Germany, Norway or Den
mark will come into the movement.
AT a mass meeting in East Lond on
tonight. attended by 5000 sailors and
firemen. the signal for the strike was
given. This consisted in the firing OF
three rockets and the unfurling of a
banner inscribed: 1.-The war Is now

To Vote For President.

Atlanta. Sept. ga unique plan
has been suggested to let the people
Of Georgia vote this fall on their
choice for democratic president for
the United States. People in other
states will not be voting on new
president until 1912.
Senator William J. Harris, of
Cedertown has written the chair
man of the state executive commit
tee, Hon. Vim. c. Wright, of New
man, suggesting that at the COM
ing gubernatorial primary the people
be given an opportunity to express
their preference for a democratic
candidate, and that the Georgia
delegation to the national dem
ocratic convention he instructed
to abide by the wishes of the people
thereby expressed.
Senator Harris is an enthusiastic
Woodrow Wilson man, and believes
the people OF Georgia share his
views but that is neither here nor
there. He wants the views expressed
whether for Wilson or Juds0n Hdr-
mon or whomsoever.
If Senator Harris views are
adopted by the state committee
Georgia will have the interesting
spectacle, in all probability, Of a
warm campaign conducted this
fall in Georgia, by the friends OF
Harmon and Wilson on behalf OF
their respective candidacy ior the
presidency. If things get hot it
might even be possible that one or
both of those gentlemen would be
invited to speak in Georgia.
Senator Harris Lester has just
been sent to Chairman Wright
and no reply has yet been received.
