START BIG STRIKE
Steamships Bound for Boston Have
Been Diverted to Other,
Ports . 49,.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 2.-Diver-
SIGN to other ports of steamships
bound here was begun Friday be-
cause of the strike Of 1000 freight
handlers. With dock space scant
and wharves piled high with accu-
mulating freight the Shipping
Beard steamer National Bridge
was ordered by wireless to bring
her cargo. from Chilean ports to
New York, instead of this port.
Fifteen other vessels are due within
a few days and if settlement of the
strike is not in sight, most Of them
will be similarly diverted.
The Freight Handlers Union
countered the diversion OF vessels
with a message to affiliated Freight
Handlers and Longshoremen's Un-
ions in New York, Baltimore and
other parts announcing "strike or
in Boston; lock out for diverted
ships" Meatime many Of the men
who struck while receiving 43 cents
an hour took temporary jobs as
snow shovelers at rates Of 60 to 90
cents an hour and leaders said that
as long as there was snow on the
ground the strike would be without
cost to the men.
Railroad officials and labor lead
crs alike said settlement of the
trouble could come only from Wash
ingtoa, where the demands of the
freight handlers for a revised scale
Of wages are pending with the Rail-
road Administration. A decision
on the freight handlers demands /
will be made by Director General
Hines not later than February 4.
according to a letter today from P.
J. Coyle, grand president of the
Of Railroad Station
Mr.. Coyle said he had
been in conference with Mr.. Hines.
The director general, extended
thanks to the freight handlers on
the New Haven system for remain
ing at work.

Susan B. Anthony Federal suffrage

Projecting the amendment having beer
set for 1890 o'clock. The resolution
WAS made special and continuing or
der for the morning hour. The Ser
late Committee on Privileges and
Elections has favorably reported the
Leedy resolution.
& Scenes which marked consideration
of the Anthony amendment in the
House last week are not expected to
be re-enacted in the Senate. Senator
C. O'Conor Goolrick, of Freder;cks-
burg, has stated that the upper branch
would not quibble, as did the House,
but will vote either to ratifiy or re-
'ect.
Inasmuch as the Rev resolution,
passed by the House last Tuesday, re-
ferring the question Of suffrage for
komen to the people for settlement
It the polls, was not joint resolu-
ion, the whole matter of ratification
II rejection, it is argued, again will
ave to be taken up by the lower
|ody.
JON w. Williams, clerk of the
ouse, and recognized as well versed
parliamentary procedure, holds that
ioption of the Rev resolution
mounted only to motion to pass by
he resolution calling for rejection.
Introduced bv Thomas w. Ozlin, of
unenburg. Mr.. Williams is of the
pinion that the status of the suf-
rage question is the same as it was
Then Coy. Davis transmitted the
nthony amendment to the General
ssenlbly.
1t is believed that the House will
wait action of the Senate ON the
eedy resolution to reject before pro-
eeding further. Delegate Ozlih, pa
an of the House resolution to re-
ct, has indicated that he is merely
waiting favorable opportunity to
gain bring the question to the fore.
Should the Senate adopt the Leedy.
solution it would appear, according
those who have given the matter.
reful thought, that the House will
Ike similar action, as it is well
Eown that a majority of its men,
RS are hostile to the Anthony amend
ent.
Defeat of the Leedy resolution in

solntion in the House probably
ould precipitate the bitterest fight
