LAWRENCE
is NERVOUS
Because of Strike To-day by
Textile Mill Fire
men
$4,000 WORKERS
MAY HAVE TO QUIT
Because Mills Will Have to
Close After Short
Period

Lawrence, Mass, Nov. l7-Three hun
dred and fifty union stationary flremen
employed at the textile mills struck to-
day to enforce their demands for an
eight-hour day. About l25 fremen re-
manned at work in the plants that have
granted the demands, but these do not
include any textile mills. The firemen
now work twelve hours a day.
Should the strike continue long, it
may compel the closing of the mills with
a loss of employment to $4,000 operat-
ives, as the law prohibits running manu-
featuring establishments more than a
week without licensed firemen.
Two meetings of the fremen were
held yesterday, presided over by John
j. Cunningham, OF Boston, international
president of the stationary firemen's
union. 1t was announced that letters
had been received from some OF the mill
officials but that no definite answers had
been made to the firemen's demands
TIE steam and operating engineers
union voted to stand by the tremen if
called upon,
The newly organized chamber OF COM
merce has offered its services to bring
about settlement of the dispute, in an
effort to avert any such widespread sui
fering as was caused in the big strike OF
the mill operatives in 1912, which made
81 900 operatives idle for nine weeks in
the heart OF the winter.

BURNING STEAMER
BROUGHT TO PORT
Passengers Were Taken Off Before Ar
rival at Hamilton, Bermuda, Yes
terday Morning.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov. 1.-THE
Spanish steamer Balmes, with her cot
ton cargo on Are, was towed into st.
Georges harbor Sunday morning by the
tugs Gladisfen and Powerful, conveyed
| by the Cunard liner Pannonla. The
Cunarder had on board l03 passengers of
the Balmes, taken off the burning ship
Friday morning in mid-ocean and while
heavy seas were running after a forced
draught race to the resuce in answer
to wireless calls for help.
When the Balmes came to anchor in
the harbor, her matches were lifted. Great
clouds of smoke belched forth, but pow
erful pumps soon sent tons of water
into her hold and drowned out the fire.
The steamer is in good condition except
for the damage done by the water and
the fire in her cargo
The Pannonia, when she had finished
her task of conveying the Balmes, point
ed her prov toward New York and
steamed away at ten o'clock Sunday
morning, the passengers OF the Balmes
lining her decks and cheering Justify.
The fire on the Balmes was discovered
Wednesday night at eleven o'clock while
the steamer was ploughing eastward on
her trip to Cadiz, Spain, from Galveston
and Havana. The flames were in hold
No. 2 and spread rapidly, the smoke pen
etrating to the engine room and the
stokehold. The second engineer and sew
eral members of the crew were partly
suffocated, but stuck yaliantly to their
posts.
The wireless operator, by direction of
Captain Reiv, then began sending out
calls for assistance. The call reached the
Pannonia, some lS0 miles to the north,
bound for New York and Capt Robert
Capper answered that he would come to
the Spaniards aid. The British cruiser
Suffolk also answered the Balmes' plea,
but the message she sent was indistnct.
Turning south the Pannonia under
forced draught raced towards the spot
where the Balmes had said she was in
distress. All OF Wednesday night and
throughout Thursday Captain Capper
pressed the Pannonia. Thursday night
the Spaniard was made out by the Cum
arder, which was soon to leeward along
side the burning vessel.
Captain Capper stood by the Balmes
until morning and then took off her pas
sengers, captain and crew electing
to remain on board their ship to navi-
gate her and fight the fire. When the
transfer of passengers had taken place
the Pannonia and Balmes heared for Ber-
muda
The crew of the Balmes fought the fire
throughout Friday, but all the time it
continued to gain headway Saturday
night the flames had reached such pro-
portions that it was thought they might |
spread to the run in the hold and that |
the vessel might have to be abandoned. |
The crew, however, never let up in their |
endeavors to subdue the fire and when |
the tugs picked up the Balmes and
towed her into st. Georges this morning |
the powerful pumps put aboard soon |
quenehed it.
At no time until the matches were lift |
cd here were there any signs OF the fire
above decks, except the presence of the
heavy smoke.
