1000 WOOD WORKERS
LAY DOWN TOOLS IN
NEW SHIPYARO STRIKE

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-As fast M
the men can be called from their
work by agents Of the Marine Wood
workers. union, shipyards In the dis
trict Of the Port Of New York are
being denuded Of their woodworkrrx.
NJ q result Of strike orders last
night.
Forty shipyards had been visited
ut 10 o'clock this morning, according
to John Stuart. secretary Of the un-
ION. and between 5000 and 1000
men had laid down their tools.
The men. according to Stuart. ask
only that the government give con.
sidcration to demands made some
time ago. These have been ignored
no long. they declare, that the only
way TO get action Is 10 strike. Stu.
art expressed the belief that when.
ever tho government indicates it's
readiness TO consider these demands
the men win return to their work.
There are about 10 shipyards Of
all sizes In this district. All are
working on government contracts.
This strike ties up work on many
ships.
A hope that patriotic plea to the
men by Chairman Hurley OF the
shipping board would save the situa-
ton and stave off action failed to.
day apparently when the woodwork.
ers walked out.
President Hutchinson of the Unit
de brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joincrs, In this city, received n tele.
gram from Hurley asking delay. but
was unable to act.

LEVI SCOTT VICTIM OF
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING

Levi Scott, resident of Newport.
came to a sudden death on the
morning of July 10Th as the result
which he was carrying. Mr.. Scott.
having said that he was going to
shoot crows, had taken his gun and
left hte kitchen by the rear door,
when the discharge of gun was
beard and MIR Scott was found dead
in the yard. Dr. l. II. White and
Deputy Sheriff Weymouth were i'm
mediately summoned. 1t was de-
cided that no inquest was necessary
as the death was clearly an acct
dent, Mr.. Scott having probably
stumbled when he stepped from the
door. Mr.. Scott was about 65 years
of age and is survived by a widow.
Walter Fraser, head machinist at
Mr. Wentworth's garage was badly
injured when the car that he was
driving turned turtle and threw MIR.
Frasier over the windshield. The
car was one that was in the garage
for repair and Mr.. Fraser had driv-
en- it short distance from the viii
lage and on the return trip, in some
unknown manner, he lost control of
the machine. Although Mr.. Fraser
is badly hurt it is thought at this
writing that he will recover. I'm
mediately after the accident he was
taken home and at night he seemed
to be resting somewhat easier.
