HUNT ABANDONED FOR TUG AND FIVE Sudden Sinking of Frederick A. Lee in Lake Huron Still Mystery. By the Associated Press. ROGERS CITY, Mich., November 14.—The sudden sinking of a tug be- lieved to have been the Frederick A. Lee, a 72-footer, carrying a crew of five, remained a mystery tonight as search for the craft was abandoned. ‘The vessel apparently went down at 4 pm. Frida, Coast Guardsmen at Pointe aux Barques, 13 miles from where the tuk ‘was reported to have gone down, said they gave up the search because wind and sea would wash debris and any bodies toward the-Canadian shore of Lake Huron. Disappearance of the craft was re- ported early Saturday morning by Capt. Theodore Dahlburg of the Bradley Transportation Co. stone car- rier Munson. He sald he and his first officer, Donald Mauts, saw the tug sink before aid could be given. Floating Objects Sighted. “We brought the Munson to the scene within 15 minutes,” he said. “First we saw the top of a ship's cabin and then several pillows float- ing on the churning water. We also saw a life preserver, a mattress and s chair, but the wreckage was so splintered we were unable to pick it up.” Coast Guardsmen generaly believed . an explosion was responsible for the | sinking of the vessel, The Frederick A. Lee, owned b)’: Capt. T. B. Climie, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, had been under char- | « ter to the Wallaceburg, Ontario, Sand and Gravel Co. It was on its way to Sault Ste. Marie for the Winter and its schedule placed it in the approxi- mate location where Capt. Dahlburg saw the tug sink. The Wallaceburg company said when the Lee left Sarnia, Ontario, Capt. Achille Renaud of Amherstburg, On- tario, was in charge. The other four members of the crew were C. Smale, Port Stanley, Ontario, chief engineer; Archie Gibbs, Corunna, Ontario, sec- ond engineer; Roy McDonald, Sarnia, Ontario, wheelsman, and P. Titus, Sarnia, firemen. The tug and all « €quipment, the company officials said, apparently were in good order. Possible Cause of Exploston. At Sault Ste. Marie Capt. Climie ad- vanced the theory that mud pumped into the boilers of the Lee while the vessel was grounded near Harbor Beach Thursday night might have caused an explosion. “If the tug was in the mud when it grounded, it probably pumped con- siderable mud into its boilers as its « propeller churned the water,” he ex- plained. “If the mud were sucked into the valves, the water would get low. Then, with the fires going strongly, the mud might have let loose sufficiently to cause a sudden flow of water into the hot boiler tubes. An explosion would follow.” The Lee was built in 1898, ’ |a section about the size of a barrel RUSSIAN VETERANS’ UNIT TO HOLD BALL TUESDAY Grand Duchess Marie and Prince George to Attend Dance at Shoreham.

Cites Importance of Stain. ‘The autopsy, Messmer said, brought out the importance of a blood-like | splotch discovered on the highway the | day following the fatal shooting. The stain, he said, was 1,010 feet from the stalled automobile of Gen. Den- hardt and 410 feet down the highway beyond the spot where the body was | found. “If it is proven that this is human | blood and the assumption that it came |ffom Mrs. Taylor is established,” | Messmer. said, “then from the nature of her wounds she could not have walked 410 feet.

Strike (Continued From First Page.) through loud speakers, however, from | a motor launch owned by a strike | sympathizer. The launch met the vessel at quarantine, but was forced by the Washington's propellor wash to fall behind on the trip up the North River. When the ship docked she was met by a third group of pickets, who paraded in front of the pier. Franklin's assertion that the strike was costing “a fortune” provoked a round of chuckles at the rickety waterfront headquarters of the Strike Strategy Committee. “Were head over heels in debt.” a member of the Strikers' Finance Committee said, “‘but we're not worry- | ing. . Our credit is good.” He estimated it was costing about $700 & day to finance the walkout, | which was started without any re- serve fund. Expenses have been de- frayed as far as possible with con- | tributions.

At the same time a committee of the S8an Francisco Industrial Associa« tion warned business men to organize against an “inland march” of the Longshoremen’s Union. R ‘Two West Coast strikes not directly connected with the maritime walkout were settled, but others appeared to complicate the general labor situation. ‘The Industrial Association Com- mittee said more than 18,000 men were striking against San Prancisco in- dustry and more than 60 plants were closed and “surrounded by mobs of pickets whose numbers were growing daily.” “Your turn may be next in the march inland of business destruction now being carried on by local 38-44 (San Francisco) of the International Longshoremen’s Association,” said the committee statement. With strikes dotting the bay area and maritime peace negotiations at a virtual impasse, Mayor Angelo J. Rossi of San Francisco telephoned the White House to arrange a con- ference with President Roosevelt and Secretary of Labor Perkins. He said he would leave for Washington to- morrow. Milk deliveries were stopped for all but hospitals and other public in- stitutions in Oakland and other East Bay cities by a walkout of 400 union drivers, seeking to force the employ- ment of union milkers on dairy ranches. About 450 shipyard workers walked out in Los Angeles. An order recall- ing half of the 400 special police de- tail from the Los Angeles waterfront was canceled. Pive hundred wholesale grocery warehouse men returned to their jobs today after voting to accept a wage of 70 cents an hour. Their former pay was 62% cents. About 900 other warehouse men remained on strike, however, having rejected a proposal to arbitrate their wage and hour de- mands. Shipyard and textile workers also were on strike here. In Los Angeles 1,800 fish cannery workers agreed on new terms with employers, Officials of two lumber mills at Anacortes, Wash., announced their plants were closing down because of a strike of Sawmill and Timber ‘Workers' Union men at one of them over the discharge of a yard con- tractor. It was said 400 employes were affected.
