of the Department of Commerce and
Labor. The freight shipments during
the month aggregated 1881, 22O short
tons, an increase of "a per cent over
the shipments a year ago. This In
crease was due mainly to the larger
iron ore shipments; the shipments
of other leading articles except lum
Der. namely, flour, grain and coal
having declined. The volume of trat'
fc through the Sault Ste. Marie ca
nails and the Detroit river likewise
show a marked increase in May OF
the present year when compared with
May, 1911. The same improvement
Is also shown in the vessel move
ment on the lakes, which was co1sid-
erably larger than a year ago.

ments from Duluth and Superior
amounted to S,237,559 long tons, an
increase Of 4S per cent; from Two
Harbors, 1,0S1,012 long tons, an in
crease of 81 per cent; and from Es-
canada, 652,4S3 long tons, an increase
| of SIS per cent over May, 1911.
The receipts OF iron ore, which
were mainly at Lake Erie ports, show
a corresponding increase from 3,422,-
| 254 to $685. $50 long tons, or 48 per
! cent, this increase being shown at
each of the leading ore-receiving
ports on Lake Erie and at Chicago;
the receipts at Gary and Indiana Har'
Dor, on Lake Michigan, showing a
considerable decline.
COAL: The domestic shipments
| Of coal on the Great Lakes during
May, 1912, aggregated 2,444,8S9 short
tons, a slight decline when compared
with May, 1911. OF these shipments

101, 10 short tones soft coal, and 257,
642 short tons were bunker coal sup
piled to vessels in the domestic trade
Over 90 per cent of the soft coal wal
shipped from Lake Erie ports, main
~ from Toledo, Ashtabula, Lorain
Cleveland and Sandusky. OF the soft
coal shipments, 1,115,87 short tons
were shipped to domestic ports on
Lake Superior; 728,516 short tons to

English Labor Leaders Against IT.
ksir Hardie for Labor Laws.
LONDON, July 6.-War against the
strike as a weapon for workmen has
been declared by some Of the old
time labor leaders Of Great Britain,
including men who have heretofore
advocated extreme measures to oh.
tain better wages and conditions.
Philip Snowden, one of the clever.
est OF the Socialist members Of the
House Of Commons, was among the
first to sound the warning that the
men we're gaining nothing by contin'
ual strikes. AS he often takes an
independent stand, not much surprise
was expressed.
Keir Hardie, his more extreme col.
league, followed his example, how
ever. Mr.. Hardie said he Is convinced
that legislative action would produce
more permanent results than could
be hoped for from strikes. Reform
enacted by the State. he said, be
comes permanent, and cannot be TAX
en- away. Concessions won by a
| strike during good times might be
lost by a lockout in bad times. There
fore, labor representatives should be
sent to Parliament to enact the right
kind Of legislation. Mr.. Hardie In
stanced the late attempt Of q nation
al strike of transport workers, which
dismally failed, az q case Of how
things should not be done.
