GENERAL TIE-UP ORDERED.
of Transport Workers in British Isles,
Following Owners Refusal.

London, June ll.-Three hundred
thousand transport workers in this is
land will give up their jobs, and all
foreign and eoastwise shipping will be
tied up indefinitely, if the union men
obey the orders of the general council
of the Transport Workers federation
which last night sent kilograms to every
port in England. Scotland and Wales,
calling for a national strike.
The ship owners yesterday decided to
reject a compromise, the terHs of which
the government has been attempting to
arrange. The principal points of the
governments proposals We're a general
organization of the employers to treat
with the unions. and money guarantees
by both sides as insurance against vio-
lations of agreements.
The employers maintain that their in
terests are so diverse that any organiza-
tion embracing all would be impossible;
they consider the cabinets proposals,
particularly the financial feature, inn
practicable, and set their faces strong
ly against giving a labor monopoly to
the unions.
The country has not been thrown into
a panic by the calamity which threat
ems, because there is general hope that
comparatively few of the men will re-
spond to the leaders manifesto Notes
of disafrection are reported in several
cities.
If successful, the strike will be the
most disastrous of the labor revolts
which have kept the country in a tur
moil for the past year, disturbed bus
mess and strained the diplomacy of the
liberal government in keeping the good
will of its labor allies. The real ques-
tion being fought out is the recogni-
ton of union labor and the cause of the
trouble, which has already cost business
and wage earners hundreds of thous-
ands of pounds, is a stevedore named
Thomas. who refused to join the union.
The employers declined to discharge him
and the docxmen stopped work. They
took advantage of the occasion to de-
mand a general readjustment of terms
from their employers.

Maine Man Convicted of Lar
ceny of About $4,000
MRS. STUART RECEIVING IT
Sentence in Cases of Arthur w. Shaw
and Mrs. Georgia Stuart Will Be Pro-
nounced Later in Massachusetts,
Superior Criminal Court.

Boston, June ll--Arthur w. Shaw
was found guilty OF the larceny of about
$4,000 from two Maine shoe manufac-
turing concerns by jury in the superior
criminal court to-day, while verdict
OF guilty of receiving stolen money was
returned against Mrs. Georgia Stuart.
Sentence will be pronounced later.
The cases were given into the jury's
hands yesterday afternoon following the
summing up Col. Joseph w. Spaulding
spoke first in defense of Mrs. Stuart.
Attorney James II. Vahey followed with
an argument in defense OF Shaw. As
sistant District Attorney Thomas d. La
velle followed for the government.
Col. Spaulding argued that Mrs. Stu
art merely acted as a faithful custodian
of the property Shaw put in her hands
and had no idea that he stole any of it,
if he did"
Attorney James II. Valley said: "Shaw
is accused of stealing funds Of a company
he owns half of and to which he has made
complete restitution, stripping himself to
the skin so that he could not now buy
plate OF baked beans without borrow
ing the price.
"Amiclx does not now think Shaw was
dishonest man. Director Rowland has
told you So Shaw has shown all along
that be was trying to save the business
from ruin"
Attorney Vahey referred to the letter
Shaw sent to Mrs. Stuart and the dis.
covery of which resulted in the police To-
eating Shaw in Los Angeles. THAT let
ter was stolen by somebody from the
mall said Attorney Yahey. Then he
referred to the passage in which Shaw
wrote: 81 am good for 90 years yet
and win pay up my creditors dollar
for dollar
Attorney Vahey also argued that had
Shaw wished to steal he would not have
purchased bonds to run off with. but
would have taken the cash. Those bonds
he purchased with the consent of Amiek,
yahey declared
SHAW is being tried for stealing his
own money. He should not have been
tried He has committed no criminal
offense His intent is the only issue"
Assistant District Attorney Lavelle in
his argument for the government said
"Shaw has been described as a remark
able man. He is the smartest, most
witness that ever took the
witness stand in this court. He has
advanced defense built upon lies and
fa brications. The defense is no better
than the man who invented it in a Los
Angeles jail
