that the three Greeks in question were
trying to persuade the crew OF section
hands to go out on strike for high
er wages and quarrel arose between
the strikers and those who were sat
isfied with the pi esent wages and re-
fused to leave their work.
The officers, who were as. listed by
Marshal Noyes OF Alpha, quieted the
disturbance upon their arrival there,
by sending the three agitators back to
Chicago.

ORE SHIPMENTS SLOW
Season May BE Disappointing One
Unless Business Picks Up

A continued shortage OF boats
which has cut in half the rate OF ore
loading at Escanaba which was es-
tablished in April, has raised a serious
question as to whether the season OF
1916 will show the record output
which was promised by all conditions
at the opening OF the navigation sea
son.
For three or four weeks past boats
coming into Escanaba have been few
and far between. the conditions form
ing a sharp contrast to the heavy
rrafiic which broke all records in
April, when the navigation season
opened. At present there are seldom
more than one or two vessels at the
docks at the same time.
