SEAMEN
Doubt Value OF Probe Of
Detroit Crash


BY International Labor News Service.
Chicago.-Lake seamen are skep-
tical as to any good that may result
from an investigation carried on by
Federal steamboat inspectors into the
ramming of the ferryboat Britannia
by the freighter James E. Ferris at
Detroit recently.
According to daily newspaper ac-
counts, the Ferris was coming down
the Detroit river with cargo of iron
ore when Captain Murdoch Mcleod
of the Britannia say that there was
danger of a collision. Selling the bell
cord, he attempted to give four bells
for "full steam ahead" to get out Of
the way of the fast approaching Fer
ris. The bell cord broke, however,
after two bells had been given, which
was equivalent to giving the engineer
signal to back up.
The engineer obeyed the signal to
reverse, with the result that the Ferris
crashed through the side of the Bri-
tannia. Four persons were injured,
while panic reigned on the disabled
ferryboat until the 800 passengers
were rescued by other vessels.
1t is said that the steamboat in
spectors conducted their investigation,
under the direction Of Captain Fred j.
Memo of Detroit, supervising Inspector
of this district, with view of fixing
the charge of negligence on someone
so that his license may be revoked.
Sailors questioned here in reference
to the matter shrug their shoulders
and ask whether Captain Memo does
not know there should be more than
one bell cord on vessel, so that il one
breaks there will be another at hand.
Lake seamen do not seem to hold
Captain Memo in very high esteem.

EDITOR BARRY
Friend OF Union Labor.
Passes Away

San Francisco.-James H. Barry,
for years editor of the San Francisco
Star, passed away at his home in this
city after half century in the fight
for civic righteousness.
Progressive laws of this State and
many Federal laws of the same char
acter were favored by him. In the
pioneer days of organized labor he
espoused the workers cause. He was
the first employing printer in this city
to recognize the Typographical Union
and first to grant the eight-hour day.

all inheritance taxes. They prevented
repeal by the last Congress and they
say they will block it again.
An inheritance tax cannot be passed
on as other taxes, and wealthy inf1u-
ences are strengthening their lines to
overwhelm Congress. An efficient
propaganda machine is also being de-
veloped.

nual Arizona State Fair to be

tary J. P. Dillon announced.

drivers are already working on
their machines, while several will
have new gas buggies ready for
the State Fair races. This means
that many of the old hacks. seen
around here since the territorial
days, will not be among those
present when the starter sends
the boys away.

sentative is Arizona, will be in
charge of all arrangements for
