| London, May 31.-The open or the
closed shop is no sign that employ
ers will consent to debar nOn-union-
lists from their employment or that
| the strike leaders will agree to permit
their men to work alongside non
lInionists.
Joint Conference Fiasco.
The joint conference called by the
government for today proved, as ex-
pected, fiasco. Not a single en-
pioyer put in an appearance The gov
ernment, however, submitted a fresh
proposal for the consideration of the
men. Whether Ben Tillot and Harry
Gosling have succeeded in making the
dispute national affair will be known
only after the meeting of the national
executives tomorrow. Indications are
that the Sailors and Firemens union
which probably has the deciding vote
will oppose the movement on the
ground that the present time is mop
perfume primarily because of the finan-
cial condition of the unions treasury.
Should the decision be against national
support, the strike appears bound to
fail
Increasing Number or Non-U Unionists.
The number of non-unionists work
ing on the docks is daily increasing
and the provisioning of London goes
on uminterruptedly. Having failed to
get the employers and men together,
the men are tackling eac Inside separ-
ately and at today's meeting at the
board Of trade, which only the strike
leaders attended, the government sug-
gested setting up a joint conciliation
board with powers over all parties
working in the port. The strike lead
ers promise to give the mems reply
on June 4. 1t is believed to be the
policy which the government proposed
to carry out and it is understood that
they are prepared to enforce the au-
thority of the Cancellation board by
legislation, as in the recent case of
the coal dispute, should either side re-
fuse to submit to a general plan for
awards and arbitration.

Havana, May 31-The government
| ment declared today it has no news
OF the negro insurrection from the
front and does not expect an import
ant movement until tonight or tomor-
row. No word has been received here
OF the landing of American marines
/ from the gunboat Paducah at Dali

ed to have been destroyed by the in
surgents. The Paducah left Guantan.
amo last night for Daiquiri. There is
now news from the United States gun
boat Nashville at Nipe Bay and it is
believed that all is quiet in that vicin-
ity.
Critical Point in Revolution.
Washington, d. c., May 31-The ar
rival of General Montegaudo at the
front as the commander in chief of
the Cuban Federal forces, is being
closely watched here. His success or
failure is expected to forecast the
ability of the federal government to
cope with the situation.
Movement Is an Earnest one.
Should the rebel bands contin1e to
attack foreign property it is possible
that the United States will send
fleet of small vessels to various
points bordering on the rebel zones
to have marines on hand for immedi-
ate action. The fact that the rebel
leaders in the present revolution are
given receipts for property taken in
the name of Estenoz, is believed here
tc indicate that the movement is an
organized and an earnest one.
In army circles here the failure of
the Cuban federal forces to make any
headway against the rebels, is be-
Geved to be due to the fact that the
government forces have been COM
PEELED to place themselves on the de-
fensive by dividing up and attempt
ing to furnish small detachments to
many foreign properties which are de.
manding protection. Positive assur-
ances have been received from the Gu
ban government that force of Cuban
troops has been sent to guard the
property of the Spanish American
Mining Company at Daquiri on the
south coast of Oriente near Guantan-
amo Bay.
