LIVERPOOL, June 14.-This was
the first Of the big British ports to
feel the effect Of the general strike
order issued TO the union seamen to
enforce the ultimatum served on the
Shipping Federation some time ago
The crews Of the Teutonic and the
Empress OF Ireland abandoned their
vessels today and the ships are now
tied up unable to sail on schedule. The
crews of a number of tramp liners
followed the example of the men on
the big American liners The men
are orderly, having been warned by
their officers TO keep away from the
water front
Officers Of the union say that as fast
as the big liners cbme In the men will
quit work. All. however. will COM
plete the trip for which they have
signed so that none of the steamers
whose home port this is. will be inter-
ferred with elsewhere.

Seamens Union, i'm charge of the
strike here said today that not only
win the seamen strike but that The
majority OF the dock employees and
longshoremen Will take advantage o
the opportunity TO gain better wagel
and improve conditions of labor
officials of the various lines are
making preparations to shin strike
breaking crews. The union men say
they will not oppose this as the en-
ployers cannot get competent men,
and passengers will not risk their
lives sailing in vessels manned by

Public opinion has shown exceptional unanimty in backing up the
Mayor in this instance of park protection. But the case was urgent,
ard it seems to have been rather a close shave at that.
The fact was never more ominouhy evident than il is to-day
that eternal vigilance is the price W must pay for the preservation
Of our city breathing spaces, especially those which, like the
already sadly diminished City Hall Park, are lfc-saving oases in
the crowded centres where any real estate deal is a matter Of
millions.

The plans OF the Maine structure will not tend to strengthen public
confidence in that body either as a bulwark against cncroachment

and beauty. Anyway, here is another corner Clipped of the Park
and what an you do about it?
Nor is that all. The Aldermen have passed an appropriation
OF $4,000 to pay for a central frc-alarm station. to he built on the
site OF the old park stables. o one of the transverse roads. An
isolated spot is required for this purpose, so that the station may
not be endangered by a possible conflagration. Is would be the case
in a bmilt-up neighborhood. This %istens" fairly well az n work
