If the franchise gives no such right the village will ask for an injunction 4 Conservative Members of Asso ciation Not Consulted Many masters of lake vessels since the strike was called against the boats managed by Capt A Wol vin have expressed displeasure at the action and say the conservative heads in the Masters and association were not consulted and that even now with the strike on in full force those outside of the steel trust have re ceived no notification from headquar ters that they are parties to the fight In this connection there has been talk although it has taken no defi nite form of calling a special meeting in the near future to inquire into the circumstances in connection with the radical step of calling off the mates and throwing 2100 steel trust em ployes out of work in order to hit at Capt Rae of the steamer Clemson Still another criticism is that the boats of the steel trust were inter fered with at all The Clemson is owned by the Provident Steamship Co of which Mr Wolvin is president and general manager There are'four boats in this line and their only con nection with the steel trust is that they are managed by the manager of the Pittsburg Steamship Co and have been carrying steel trust ore but their stockholders are xiifferent and they are in a separate corporation THOMA'S AUSTIN Detroit Citizen Who Died Yester day nt WTOrton Ont SUBURBAN TWENTY THOUSAND MEN WILL BE THROWN OUT WORK UNERAL LATE THATCHER ROOT THIS ATERNOON northwestern millers confident they had found a cheap way of get ting their products to foreign mar kets If as threatened by the strik ers this fleet up by the mas ters and pilots in sympathy with their strike against the steel trust all these plans will come to an end for this season at least The reason for the hostility of the strike toward the Quebec line is that it has the same managementyas the steel trust fleet The steamiV Clemsoh the cause of these disastrous complications steam ed quietly into the slip of the United States Steel Corporation at South Chicago this afternoon and the long shoremen began unloading her cargo of iron ore It is believed that the Clemson will be kept in service until the end of the season unless the long shoremen refuse to handle her cargo out of sympathy with the strikers The last boat of the steel trust fleet to leave this end of the route this season probably was the Douglass Houghton which got away from South Chicago early this evening with a cargo of grain for Buffalo The steamer was at the elevator loading when the strike order went into ef fect and would havo been forced to tie up like the rest of the fleet but for a arrangement between the shippers of the grain and the masters and pilots association She will go into ordinary after delivering her cargo at Buffalo their the A The effort will taka of noon meetings in Cleveland September 18 (Special) A Wolvin manager of the Pittsburg Steamship Co and presi dent and manager of the Great Lakes St Lawrence River Transportation Co said this evening he had no state ment whatever to make in regard to the strike called against the boats represented by him He said he had not been notified of any action to be taken against the Quebec route boats except what he had the newspapers and that there was nothing for him to do as the strikers were making it neces sary to tie up the boats and they were? being sent to the docks and at the present rate there would not be a steei trust boat' in operation on the lakes at the end of next week Mr Wolvin said the estimate of 2500 men being affected on Pittsburg Co boats: was too highland that the number would be about 2100 of steel trust boats told their services are ho longer necessary this season and that they might" go home whenever they are ready The steel trust as well as the inde pendent! consumers of ore will not be handicapped by the strike should it become general all over the lakes and take in all Lines There is enough Ore ill the

strike marks the end of rrat hnnm in iron ore mining in Lake Superior region which has sur passed ail records ever made before in the world's history During the progress of the boom shipments of Iron ore jumped by the millions of tons per month Last'jyear they leached a total exceeding 25000900 tons At the beginning of this season it was believed that last grand total would be exceeded but of late there lias been a falling off and the steel trust ceased chartering vessels outside its own fleet With the tying up of its own boats its shipments for the balance of the fairwill be light as only contract ves sels will be given cargoes In general terms the season will end October 1 instead of December 1 in the iron ore trade With the cutting down of the output of the mines there is certain to result considerable suffering in the Lake Superior region or two years past every effort has been put forward to mine all the ore possible and the of the mining towns has been more than doubled A part at least of this sur plus population will be deprived of its means of sustenance on account of the tving up of the boats The amount of work to be done dur jpo the winter was estimated to day will not be a third of what it was during the closed season Then every pound of ore possible had been shipped up to the middle of De cember and there were no stock piles left Should the strike extend' to the fleet of the Great Lakes St Lawrence River Co it will tend to frost the budding hopes of Quebec as a rival to New York in the export trade The vessels of the St Law rence line have carried many
