London, May PA general strike IN
the shipbuilding industry is threatened
within the next few weeks. the present
situation being regarded as critical in
the extreme. The possibility Of gen
er-l cessation Of work has been recog-
nized for several months, but during
the last week or two the men have
shown that they are more determined
than the great majority OF the employ
ers imagined
The various trades directly concerned
in the strike are OF eleven societies,
all signatories OF the National Ship
yard agreement, and the Boilermakers'
Society. Should strike be declared
the shipyards, OF course, would be
closed, and many other trades affected,
such as the iron and steel workers,
miners, railway men; in fact, all en-
ployed in the allied trades. Probably
those who will feel the pinch more are
the general laborers, carriers and those
living from hand to mouth.
On Tuesday the boilermakers meet
the Shipbuilding Employers Federation
at Carlisle to consider the situation
The men ask an increase Of Oh per
cent, and have already voted for a
strike If the demand is not complied
with. A ballot OF 2,o00 Birkenhead
bolermakers shows the men almost
unanimous in favor Of stoppage If the
increase is not granted.
Since 1911. when the rush OF orders
set in. there have been three increases
of per cent each, and recently all the
shipyard unions put forward a demand
for another raise. Union leaders re-
fuse to permit the matter 10 be de-
ferred, and are now organizing. with a
view to common action by all trades
simultaneously.
1t is regarded as almost certain that
there will be a considerable aggregate
majority in favor OF a strike. A ship
building strike under the trade condi-
tions now prevailing would be a ma
tional calamity of the gravest char
acter. The mercantile shipping now
under construction is considerably more
than 100000 tons. and in the private
and government yards there are war
ships of many foreign countries. rep
resenting an additional tonnage ap-
proximately of 100000 tons.
Both figures are without precedent in
this or any other country. A cessation
OF work next month would be a dis
aster to British industry and bless

1901 and did not terminate until the
February following. The masters point
out that foreign competition, charges
under the national insurance act and
other burdens make it impossible in
many cases to grant the mems de-
mands.

London. May 24.-The craze for rag
time dancing which has fastened on
London society as told in The Tribune,
has borne fruit in a heated controversy
which is now raging over the propriety
Of the various ragtime dances and
whether they should be permitted,
especially at gatherings attended by
young girls
The discussion has been brought TO
the boiling point by a letter TO The

said:

Bacchantic Frenzies.

ITO describe the movements imported
from America and South America as
dancing is TO indulge in misuse OF
terms. All discretion appears 10 have

doned frenzies of some ancient Bac-
chantic revel, although the modern YER
sions are devoid of the grace of their

their origin, will be found 10 be due to
the corybantic revels of negro tribes,

Pavlova, who three years ago studied
the grizzly bear on the "BarDary
Coast" Of San Francisco, and expressed
great admiration for it, says: Il can
only describe the turkey trot and the

antics and travesties on dancing pro-
fame the art"

tween the cabaret and ballroom dane

BOSTON. turkey trot or the tango than
in the polka or schottische. except they

"Tbe Evening News" has an editorial
which seems to give very fair ex-
nIanation Of the situation. 1t says:
1.-THE trouble is that the more exag-
eerated exotic dances are not suited TO
the British temperament. Rightly or
v,ronelv they outrage our insular no.
tions. and since it is always better 10

CAPTAIN KNEW HIS VISITOR
Also Realized That Even Superdrea d-
nough Would Be Imperiied by
Presence Of Idiot.

The brand-new battleship of the SUI
pordreadnought type had been thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at the gangway receiving his guests,
pride and delight In his magnificent
vessel shining in every lineament.
Suddenly his gaze concentrated upon
an approaching figure. His face grew
pale to the lips; he shook in every
fiber. Controlling his terror by a
mighty effort, he turned hastily to his
executive officer.
Clear for action, Mr.. BlOodlet," he
cried. Beat to quarters. Load with
grape. Order the marines to concen-
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders."
AYE, aye, sir" responded the Off
Ger promptly, although thoroughly be-
wildered.
The blood returned to the captains
face and he regained his composure
as he remarked how quickly his or
der were carried out, and how they
were prepared to meet their formida-
BILE foe successfully. Then his eyes
again sought the object of his fears.
He was close aboard. Hello, capn!'
he cried, a acuou smile playing
about his weak mouth.
Back" shouted the captain stern
ly. Back, or I'll blow you up"
Say, cap'n, that's what you seem
to be doin'," responded the enemy
giggling.
Don't you try to set foot On board
my ship" continued the captain vehe
mently. Pm not going to jeopardize
boat, crew and visitors for your pleas

enemy with another silly grin. don

Knowles, a Boston painter OF outdoor

He promises to stay there until Oc-

will make traps out Of what he dis
