The men Were employed ‘at Long
Wharf and the Silver street and North~
amnion division freight houses. A
claim by the men that freight handling
is greatly delayed today is denied by
the company. The “eight handlers

and a half for over time and Sunday
work. The request was not granted.
A week ago the men refused to work
on Sunday. but they were not discharg-
ed. . Saturday they were told to report
on Sunday and if they failed to do this
they were not to report today. A large:
number of .men did not report Sunday
and today they were told that their
places had been filled. About 100
Italians were set at work as treight
handlers today and a squad of oflcera
went on duty in the freight yards to
protect the men in case there was
trouble from the discharged men. The
men who lost their places met in one
of the trades halls later to discuss
their predicament.

try to agree on a number of years the

ed is not doubted. although there is ex-
pected to be some .debate before they
agree on all: the details. ‘
. he miners prefer a one or two
you s agreement beginning April I.
but the operators are expected to ask
the men to accept the award for three
years. The miners argue that the
commission's award does not now meet
some of the new conditions in the min.

more than a' year or two would make
matters ‘very unfair to them;
At today‘s meeting an effort will he

has been aggressive in the strike
movement, and to give all the men
their former places. it Is fully ex

operators will agree to this. ~
