In anticipation OF a strike. Off

poTat!on laid away mountains of
iron ore and have a sufficient
amount OF working material on
hand TO operate the bills through
out the winter and possibly into the
spring months
Last minute efforts to avert the
threatened strike failed Saturday
when officials OF the Lake Carriers
Association refused to concede the
eight hour work day for the sailors.
AT present the men work on two
twelve hour shifts.
The strike will affect approx
nately 5000 sailors who are en-
ployed on the ore boats as wheels
men. lookouts. boatswains and or
dinary seamen. A coas shortage IN
the Northwest IS also threatened as
a result OF the walkout.
In three wage cuts the pay OF
seamen was reduced from $3.50
month in May. 1920, to $50 month
in May, 1922. The last wage de-
crease was followed by strike vote
which was unanimously in favor or
strike. Through the Intervention of
Secretary OF Labor Davis the strike
was averted and the association
granted the men SIS a month in

Up until Saturday. II was believed
that the coal shipments received by
boat would curtan operation in the
steel mills. but a dispatch from
Washington late in the day relieved
this fear.
The Labor department received
assurance from William Livingston,

seamen's strike. transportation ia
ctlities would be adequate to take
care OF all coal that could be deliv-
cred at lake ports "All we want Is
