MOlenaor

NO effort was made yesterday to oust
Martin Montrosc Molcnaor, his son and
widowed daughter from their weather
beaten shack at 194th Street and HILL
side Avenue. Molenaor reiterated ves-
terday his previous assertion that he
will continue to occupy the structure
in defiance Of derricks, steam shovels
and William F. Norton, title holder of
the property.
Mr.. Norton, it was indicated yester-
day, has determined to resort to court
action to oust the squatters. Such a
step on the part of the title holder will
give Molenaor an opportunity to reopen
legal fight for property rights involv-
ing a large area in upper Manhattan,
it is said.
Mrs. Evelyn Holstein, Molenaor's
daughter, declared that she and her
brother will stand. by their father to
the finish. Nothing will weaken us in
our resolve" she declared.
Molenaor's great-grandfather David
Molenaor, was native OF Marseilles, it
is said, and brother of the General
Molenaor who was one of Napocon's
generals.

Owners Protest Against
Abuse of Black Employees
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ATLANTA, Ga, April Evidence
Of the alleged mistreatment of negroes 8
in Georgia in 1876 separate cases is
brought out in Governor Dorsey's pam
phlet on "The Negro in Georgia." based
on information collected in the past
two years.
All through the state the negroes
are being enslaved, slain, evicted and
abused, the Governor asserts.
In his prelude Governor Dorsey says:
"In some counties the negro is being
driven out as though he was wild
beast. In others he is being held as a
slave. In others, no negroes remain.
No effort has been made to collect the
cases cited. If such an effort were
made I believe the number could be
multiplied.

the usual crime against white women

charges should continue both God and

Future of U. S. Merchant
Ship Fleet IN Balance as
Owners and Men Meet
With Benson at Capital
Seamen Defiant on Wages

Sea in Belief Government
Can't Halt May l Tie.Up

The future Of Americas merchant
marine rests upon the outcome Of the
conference between shipowners and
shipworkers that will be presided over
hy Admiral William S. Benson in
Washington this morning Upon the
results of this meeting depends the
vital question of strike that will tic
up every American going vessel
and involve upward of 10000 men.
The call to this conference. issued by
Admiral Benson, was received by both
parties to the controversy yesterday
and reads as follows:
"Since committees meeting in New
York have failed to result in agree
ments. have called conference of all
interestd parties for 10 O'Clock Wedncs-
day morning, April 27. in the auditorium
Of the Cosmos Club, Madison Place,
Washington. You and your committee
sre cordially invited to attend
Thirty Owners to Attend
Immediately on receipt of this call
the American Steamship Owners Asso-
ration held meeting in the Whitehall
thirty members, headed by William A.
Thompson, president of the Texas
Steam ship Company, to attend the con-
ference. The delegation is without
power to act, however, and has been in
structed to report back to the associa-
ton Thursday. The delegation left on
the midnight train for Washington last
night.
On the same train we're the two labor
delegations. Thier leaders, Andrew
Furuseth and William P. Brown, left
earlier in the day for Washington All
the seamen and engineers representa-
tives stated positively yesterday that
there would be no recession from the
stand they have already taken.
Ships Ordered to Sea
The seriousness of the situation was
reflected in the action taken yesterday
by many of the steamship owners in
issuing orders for ships to clear port
as soon as possible. This was taken to
indicate that there is little hope of
settlement of the issue before a strike
is called.
AT the conclusion of the meeting in
the Whitehall Club Yesterday, a state
ment. signed by H. H. Raymond, presi-
dent Of the American Steamship Own
ers' Association, was issued. In it he
rsid that the association had no OBJ
lection to the organization of the en-
gineers and seamen, but in opposing a
wage cut they were opposing the action
OF workers in other industries. He
further said:
Let it not be forgotten that of our
total seagoing tonnage at the present
time, 7,790,736 tons are owned by the
American people through the Shipping
Board and 5,125,273 tons bv the stock
holders of our steamship companies.
