Much of Ship Strike
(By Associated Press.


SAVANNAH, Ga, June 29.-Capt.
George c. Savage. port agent of the
Ocean Steamship company, when in
formed by the Associated Press that a
strike of the seamen had been ordered
on his line and other coastwise lines
was not surprised. While this was the
first definite knowledge Captain Savage
had had of the strike he said it had
been expected.
81 do not anticipate that Savannah
will see much of the strike" said Cap
tain Savage, because all our seamen
are signed from New York, and under
the law they must be carried back to
the port from which they were signed.
This wiz make any walkouts take place
at the New York end of the line, I
imagine"
The steamer st. Louis is scheduled to
sail for New York this afternoon, and
up to noon there were no evidences of
a strike among the seamen aboard her.

to the announcement yesterday that sew
