NEW YORK. May 31 —-Work was
going on as usual today at the North
and East rivers where the freight hau-
dlers are out on strike and the offic-
ials I11 charge said that they were ex-
periencing no troubl . All the boats
of the several line which came in
today carried passe era, but there
was practically no eight as yester-
day was a holiday.

J. W. Miller, general manager of the
Murine District of mildew York. New

 

 

liavon and Hattie Railroad. said
that an additional cable that the
strike might cause would not be felt
until tomorrow when the freight boats
arrive.

The police were on guard at the
docks, but reported that everything
was quiet.

General Superintendent Shepard, of
the New York division of the New
tork. New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. today Issued u formal statement.
in which he says: “The. congestion is
ovor. So far as the railroad to con-
corned the strike is ended. and argue
back to our usual 91 nodule, moving
more cars titan ever. and neither I nor
anyone else knows that there. Is such a
thing on as I strike anywhere."

Further progress was made today to-
wards a possible strike oi the “MINI!"
firemen as a result of It meetinc of the
executive board of the international
Brotherhood of Firemen. Al the coli-
cluslon of the meeting General Secre
tnry Sullivan announced that a com-
mittee had been appointed to visit the
presidents or executive officials of nine
steamship companies of this city and
lay before them grievances of the fire-
men. Principal among the grievances
Is the question of “Crimping" or re-
cruiting firemen from among the board
lug house keepers to which the men
are opposed. Another grievance on
which stress Is laid Is that the firemen
shall receive an increase of 15 cents a
day while they are at sea. The var-
ious Interviewers of the union will re»
port to the executive board as soon as
possible, at the Clarendon Hotel.

0f the 2.000 or more members of
the Union. there are now, It Is said.
about 500 In New York. When the
matter of a strike to submitted to the
members of the union, as few as 35
may declare a strike, the rules of the
irvsnization making that number con-
stitute a quorum. "i don't n, -~
that when the matter Is presented to
the companies it will be necessary to
strike," said Mr. Sullivan. “They pro-‘
bably will grant most it not an .11 our
demands. In case one or mor~ mm
photos do so, we will stand by those
dues and whatever agreement we may
come to with them. We are willing to
arbi ate. If one or more of "I"
companies refuse our commundI, how-
ever. It would be possible for us to
call every freight handler along the
Atlantic seaboard from Portland to
Galveston. In sympathy. But this work
won't be necessary. We are able to
fight our own battles.”

He said he' would like It understood
that the action of the firemen had noth-
Ins to do with the strike of the New

freight handlers.

FIREMEN'S EXCURSION.

 

Good Sized Crowd Went to Nol'th
Beach on the “ROIodIle.”

The flrcmen‘s excursion yesterday.
to North Beach. on the steamer Rose-
dale, of Aiming J. Smith's fleet. was a
great success. though the attendance
was not as large as in former years.
Everyone on board the big boat had a
fine time. There was quite a little ex-
citement at the start when a Swedish
deck hand, on the steamer City of
Norwalk. fell overboard between the
NOI‘Wfllk‘ and the ltosedale. He was
standing with” one foot on each boat
and when the two drifted apart he
took a drop Into the river. Some of
the crew threw-him a rope, and assist-
ed by John D. Milne, heclambered out
looking and feeling like a drowned rat.
There was some little doubt as to
whether the Rosedale would be able
to turn around in the harbor, but she
was just able to do so.

There was a little excitement when
the boat was landing and a large Nor.
walk bartender struck a little man.
The crowd had some thoughts of tak‘
ing it out of the bartender, but he as-
caped without punishment.

CHIEF'JUDGE PARKER TALKS.

ALBANY. N. Y. May 31.-Chief
Alton B. Parker, of the Court of An-
peals, supplemented his address on
"The Origin and Development of the
Law." delivered before the students of
the Albany Law School today, with an
interesting informal mu: in which he
told of his early experiences as a law
yer. Ho Idvlséd them that white part-
nerships with successful attorneys”
were alluring, the most successful law-
yers were usually those who endured
the “hard knocks" of practicing alone.
His main idea. he said, during the first
vears of his practice was to get
enough money to pay h s board and of-
fice rent. Judges. he said. always
treated the young practitioner with
great consideration. and took Into ac
count his nervousness and "stage
