NOT ENCOURAGING
Leader Says All Sailors Will
Quit Later-Employers
Call Strike Fizzle.

LONDON, June 15.-Although the gen
eral strike outlook today was admitted
by the officials of the seamen's union
to be less satisfactory than their early
predictions had LED the public to expect,
Ben Tillett. in charge of headquarters
here, explained that conditions confront
ing the men and not lack of enthusiasm
was the cause. He said the desire of
the union to keep within the law had
led his fellow-officers to issue general
order to all union men TO complete their
contracts before quitting.
The result is that very few Of the
ships in port are affected, as they had
signed on their crews before the order
came. AS the ocean liners come in he
said, the men will quit, and the end Of
a week will find shipping interests gen.
orally paralyzed.

characterize the movement as a com
plete fizzle They say that only a few
men went out, and that a number of
these are wavering and ready to come
back at once.
Secretary Boett announced today that
the federation will at once fill the places

rate Of wages is higher.

gov, Shields, Middlesborough, Belfast,
Bristol. Cardiff, Swansea, Manchester,

Strike breakers were at work along

get away Saturday.
Whether or not the channel crews and
the vessels running out of French ports
are to quit will be decided tonight

CUTICURA OINTMENT HEALED
BAD SORE ON LIMB

Some time ago l was coming up
some steps when the board crushed
under me like an egg shell, and my
right limb went through to the knee,
and scraped he flesh off the bone
just inside and below the knee. l
neglected it for a day or two, then it
began to hurt me pretty badly. l put
balsam fir on to draw out the poison,
but when l had used it a week, 1t hurt
SO badly that I changed to -~-- oint-
ment. That made 1t smart and burn
SO badly that l couldn't use it any
more. and that was the fourth week
after l was hurt.
Then l began to use Cuticura ONT
ment for the sore. 1t stopped hurting
Immediately and began healing right
away. 1t was a bad-looking sore be-
fore Cuticura Ointment healed it, and
suffered so l couldn't sleep from two
days after l fell until l began using
Cuticura Ointment.
"Cuticura Soap is the best soap l
ever saw. have used all kinds of
soap for washing my face, and always
1t would leave my face smarting. I
had to keep a lotion to stop the smart,
no matter how expensive a soap l
used. l find at last in Cuticura Soap
a soap that will clean my face and
leave no smarting, and l do not have
to use any lotion or anything else to
ease 1t. l believe C%uticura Soap is the
best soap made" (Signed) Mrs. NJ.

WABASH RY. IS REORCAN|zED
FINANCIAL READJUSTMENT OF
RAILROAD DETERMINED.
Believed in Wall Street That Control
Of the Road Has Been Wrested
From the GouIds.

New York, Dec. 7.-"Financial re-
adjustment and reorganization OF the
Wabash railroad was determined Upon
at a meeting of the directors. The an
nouncement caused something of a
surprise, it having been generally be-
lleved that the reorganization plan of
the wheeling and Lake Erie Wabash
terminal roads would be accepted,
thereby materially reducing Wabash's
financial burden.
W1nsloW S. Pierce. once a prominent
figure in all Gould projects. returned
to his early affiliations as chairman
OF the Wabash board and reorganiza-
ton committee, succeeding T.. T. JEFF
Trey, VINO continues as a director.
Other new men on the board are Ed
win Hawley, who comes in not because
of any interest in Wabash, but as a
practical railroad man: Robert Goelet
ana Alvin w. krech, president of the
Equitable Trust CO., which is trustee
or the first and %refunding and extern
sion mortgages of the Wabash road.
One of the unexpected incidents of
the proposed reorganization is the
naming of Kuhn. Loeb e Co., as syn.
dlcate managers. That firm owns the
greater part if not all of the 5000.
600 notes for which the Wabash is
guaranteed, but its introduction into
the reorganized company is believed in
Wall street quarters to-, have some
deeper significance. Relations be.
tween Kuhn. Loeb & Co., and the
GOulds have not beer especially friend-
Is since the unexpected withdrawal Of
the bankers from Missouri Pacific fin
ancins early in the year.
Although one of the leading inter.
csts in the Wabash reorganization is
authority for the statement that the
REIMBURSEMENT will not involve receiver
ship, that point is yet to be settled.
Il will not be definitely decided until
those who are to assume control Of the
property have made a careful eXamin-
alton into it's physical and financial
condition.
S~emi-annual interest on about SAL.
100000 Of four per cent r%cfunding

scntativcS of the road say every pro.
vision to meet this interest has been
made and the recon course of the
bonds in the stock market reflected
these assurances.

ton. the bonds as we'll as the common

constituting the feature of trading in
that division of the market.
Conjecture as to the future of Wa.
bash became rife AS soon as
mcnt of reorganization was published.
II is generally believed in financial
circles that control Of the property has
been wrested from the Goulds and the
fact that Chairman Pierce Occupies a
similar position with the Western
Maryland, once a Gould line, but now
owned by the Rockclcllcrs. gave rise
to the thought that it might be ac-
Quircd by these interests.
The Wabash'S close connection with
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western at
Buffalo seems to make such a connec
ton plausible. but officials of the lat
Ter road deny any. knowledge Of a
