Eastland Considered
Unusually Safe Before
She Was Made Larger

PORT HURON, Mich, July A.-The
steamer Esstland was constructed at
this port by the jerks ship-building
company in 1903. At that time she was
considered one of the finest vessels on
the lakes.
Engineers here declared today that as
originally designed and built, the boat
was unusually safe, but they declared
changes had been made later at the
request of the owners. and more upper
works had added to increase her pas
sengcr accommodations.
She displaced 1861 tons and was 26e
feet in length and had 3S-foot beam.
She was a three-deck vessel.
The Eastland until two years ago was
owned by the Eastland Navigation
Company here. and made trips between
Cleveland. PUTIN Bay, and Cedar Point.
Condemnation proceedings were threat
ened here at one time after a panic was
caused on board when the East Land
listed badly an nearly overturned just
before she docked. On another occa-
sion the steamer. with hundreds OF
moonlight riders aboard. crashed into
the breakwater here.
She was owned by the st. Joe line.
She was inspected last on July by the
United States Steamboat Inspection
Bureau.

MACH|N|STS TO MAKE
FIGHT FOR MORE PAY
Strong Pressure Brought to
Bear on Labor Heads to
Take Advantage Of War.

That strong pressure Is being brought
to bear upon heads Of the international
Machinists' Association and officers OF
the American Federation OF Labor from
all sections of the country by heads OF
machinists' local unions to take advan-
tage Of the present demand for workers
in this field to make a nation wide fight
for higher nay and shorter hours was
admitted by those in touch with the
situation here today.
These letters have come in from all
quarters to the international machinists
Headquarters here. and to various Off
GERS Of the association and the fedora
ton, personally urging them to head a
movement that will make for the bet
termcnt of conditions all over the coun-
try.
Strong In New England.
Especially is this sentiment strong in
New England. where, except in Boston.
the machinists have been unorganized
| and have been working nine and ten
| hour days. with unsatisfa ctory provi-
sions for overtime work. and with pay
farSbelow the scales in other sections.
The Fastening OF the heads Of the ma
chinists organization and President
! Gompers and Secretary Morrison to
Bridgeport is pointed out as evidence
! that they are keenly alive to the situa-
tion, and communications from various
| quarters presages a demand that work
ers here believe will have to be acced-
| ed to.
Along with this movement on the
part of the machinists it developed to-
| day that the International Association
| OF Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
whose organization plans were demora-
! lized by the Mcnamara dynamite con.
| spiracy disclosures few years ago, will
| take ful legitimate advantage of the op.
portunities offered by the general metal
| trades move for an eight-hour day and
| better working conditions.
| Though this campaign is being engi.
| neered from the headquarters in india
| napolis. II became known to members
OF the union here today 1t was said
that this general wave for organization
will affect $4,000 metal workers The
American Federation Of Labor already
is said to have sanctioned it.
In Conference Now.
In conference with President Gompers
and officials of the Machinists' I'nion
and allied trades heads at Bridgeport is
| President McClory, of the ironworkers,
who succeeded Frank NJ. Ryan after he
| went TO the penitentiary with thirty
three other officials of the union Presi-
dent Gompers and most Of those who
took part in the conference at Bridge
port are expected in Washington by
tomorrow. and conference will be held
here early next week
This is the ironworkers' first chance
to get back at the National Erectors
Association. whose counsel Walter
Drew. of New York, personally fol
lowed the Federal prosecution of the
