the union men on both ships we're or

allegation that certain promises made
some weeks ago had not been fulfilled
and that abuses Their complained Of

schedule time.
The Esparanza was due to leave Pier
10, East River, at noon. The Santa
Marta was due to leave at the same
hour from her pier. a block or two
north. The Ward Line officials, being
fearful of trouble. had requested police
protection, and the reserves from the

no disorder of any kind. The union Of

cooks union, +. r. Barton. had been
despatched to both ships in the morn

Barton got on board the Esparanza
and made his way to the galley, where
he started to notify the cooks Of what
was doing. He says he was picked up

lower. Unexpected rain in the cotton
