TUG ENGINEERS
TIE UP HARBOR
by WALKING OUT
Chief Engineers Want Pay
Raised From S195 to S305 and
Additional Assistant for 400
Mile Voyages.

Marine engineers operating on tow
boats in the gulf were called on strike
yesterday. They are demanding sub
stantial increases in wages and are
asking for an additional engineer on
tugs making voyages of over four
hundred miles. Harbor tow boats are
not affected by the order.
The conference OF the heads of the
marine engineers in session at New
Orleans yesterday noon notified
James l.. Sweeney. president of the
marine engineers local, No. 81, at
Pensacola, to call out all marine en-
gineers and first assistants on all tow
boats operating in ocean and coast
wise trade. The order does not affect
harbor tugs.
Chief engineers are demanding an
increase from s195 to s305 per month.
and first assistants from s1s5 to S216.
The demand calls for the addition of
a second assistant on all tugs making
voyages of over 400 miles and the wage
of this work is placed at s1s7.50. For
the shorter voyages of less than 400
miles the new demands call for an in
crease to s2S7 for chief engineers and
s225 for the first assistants. Only two
engineers will be required on these
boats.
The Aiken Aowboat Company is the
only local concern affected by this or
der and all of their sea going tugs are
at sea at this time. They did not make
any statement yesterday regarding the
situation, except to say that they
thought their men were satisfied al
ready.
1t was rumored that the marine en-
gineers at Mobile operating the tugs
there went on record as not in favor
of the strike, but that they would
abide by the action taken.

EARLY MORNING
DESTROYS
HAY WAREHOUSE
Welles-Kahn Grocery Company
Loses $4,000 Worth of Timo-
thy and Alfalfa-Cause of
Blaze Unknown.

Fire of unknown origin partially
destroyed the southeast corner store
room of the Welles- Kahn Wholesale
grocery warehouse, at jefferson and
Cedar streets, shortly after midnight
this morning. Between IS and 100 tons
of Timothy and alfalfa hay, valued at
close to $4,000 were destroyed. The
loss on the building. which is the prop
erty of the Welles estate, is unknown.
The whole is covered by insurance.
The hay storehouse is on the second
floor, the underneath portion being
cut away for a loading yard. Ten bales
of hay were taken from the store room
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. Ship
ping Clerk Wolfe and crew of negro
freight handlers being the last per-
sons in the building.
A brick fire wall cuts the storehouse
off from the remainder of the building
and this fact probably saved the en-
tire structure. The fire had gained

ferson street windows by Robert For
rest, fingerpriut expert at the county

the firemen under Chief Riera had
four lines of hose on the fire.
A group of sailors from barge Ne
9 gave valuable aid during the early
stages of the fight. one Of them going
over the top with the firemen, bare
footed. The sailor was evidently
mindful of the high cost of shoe
leather. The fire was under control
by 1.2o o'clock. although the all-out
signal was not sounded until later in
the morning.

plies are to be removed from Spalato.
That city has been one of the CEN
ters from which relief work in Jugo-
Savia has been directed and 1t is
probable 1t is these stores to which
reference is made.
American warships went to the
Adriatic soon after the arnistice with
tated. They took over a section of
the coast which has since been known
as "the American zone"

II don't know what's the matter"
said Gleason. But 1 do know that
something is wrong with my team.
The team I had fighting in August
for the pennant would have trimmed
the Reds without struggle. The
bunch 1 have now could not beat a
high school team. We hit something
over .280 for the season in the Amer
lean league pennant race. Now that's
the best hitting any ball club ever did
in the history of baseball. The way
those .2S0 hitters acted against Eller
they couldn't make a place on a high
school team.
II am convinced I have the best
ball club that ever was put together.
1 certainly have been disappointed in
it in this series. 1t hasn't played
baseball in a single game. There is
only bare chance they can win now.
You know it doesn't seem possible

Tonight Gleason was in different

hoped the boys would play ball be

They have the Reds on the run and
