INGEN - BY SMASH INTO ‘Seams Opened Below the Furnesia’s Water Line, but i Passengers Were Not Told. PALL FELT THE CRASH. it ‘}Ship’s Commander Kept Them in Ignorance Even When Held Up by Fog. Se The passengers of the Anchor Line _ steamship Furnessia, which docked to- day, after being held up in the fog out- Bide the Hook for almost twenty-four “hours, were sure last Friday night that they had bumped into something about As substantial as the rock of Gibraltar, y did not learn yntll they were shore that the hump had dented fn the bow plates of the vessel and the jopened several seams just Water line, ie Capt. Lunsdane kept this fact caref: concealed from the passengers, did not believe in needlessly ala below + them, They were nervous enough as it| _) Was, when on Friday morning the Fur- | Nesia ran into a great field of {ce and {> began ploughing through it with bull- 1 dog pertinacity of a Baltic tug. Like Arctic Regions. (> It looked a whole lot like the reglons of the North Pole, that vast field of ice which stretched out to the hither and nether horizons. And here and there sand everywhere were baby bergs. Not really dangerous bergs, from the looks of their stunted pinnacles and minarets, |} but, as it proved, there was one of them that drew a mile or so of water, {f it did have a flat top, At least that was the guess of some of the seventy-three sec- ond cabin and 2i9 steerage passengers, f All day Friday the Furnessia ploughed through the ice doe and there were a good many minor bumps and faint impacts. When night fell the ocean looked like an endless expanse fof frosted mirror, with its bosom of Mice rising and falling sluggishly. The bump came about 1) o'clock. The Jar trembled through the ship and cast @ good many things off centre. Fora while the vessel stood still, with its propellers churning and ripping at tons of ice. ‘Then there was a lurch and a mooth swishing noise, after which the | Steamship ploughed ahead as before. No Panic Among Passengers. There was a scurrying about of the crew and a few sharp orders from the bridge. Then quiet. ere was No anic among the pa ‘sand the ew of them that asked questions re- ceived laughing replies from the officers. “But on y ning," sald James McLewy, of 1s ire, Scot- ‘land, one of the passe on Janding to-day, "I saw water belng pumped out ‘of the bow and knew that we had leak newhere, lose as clams about » and as they erful about it no deal of worrying. We got out of e floes on Saturday and Went away at our usual gait.” In No Danger, He Says. Capt. Lunsdane sald that there really hadn't been apy danger. His log showed that in latitude 47.16, longitude 43.97 the Furnessia had run Into a field of ice. The vessel had made fairly good headway through the ce all day and geemed to be breaking out of the flocs 10 o'clock at night, when there was @ severe bump. i "I sent one of the engineers into the } torepeak to see if any damage had been done,” said the Furnessia’s skipper, and he reported that whatever we had struck had opened some of the seams at the waterline. We changed our course to the southard then so as to escape we pretty well clear of it. No. jwe didn’t have to use the pumps—at Meast not because of the little opening in the seams of the bow. That must shave been a whaling big cake of ice, though, to dent us the way It did.” Furnessia had docked an was inade of the damaged It was reported then that ri could be made at the pler as the Injury was not serious enough to necessitate going Into dry —<$<_—____ OAKLAND ENTRIES. 108 Hampton ges, 107: Gon, 9 THIRD R Ben V GEA RE LOE tice pack, and before morning |t TOUT WCE ‘F 24000 TEL WORERS APL Corporation Magnates Decide Not to Wait for Tariff Action by Congress. That the wage: the United States Steel Corporation will be cut on or about April 1 was the un- equivocal statement ynade to-day by a man who has Intimate sources of In- formation, The decision to reduce wages at this early date was reached within the past few da it one of the daily conferences of the Steel magnates, Meantime every effort will be made to concillate the men who will suffer by the wage cut and thus forestall what would be one of the American Industries, It was explained to the Fevening World's informant that the Steel people |to decide on a reduction of the tariff on Steel, as advised by Andrew Car- negte, but to take the bull by the horns before the national law of the Steel Trust will act on the fore- | shaved and shape their course accord- ingly. Every hour, every day's delay In the adjusting of the affairs of such a vast corporation {3 y important, where- fore the directors of the United States | Steel Corporation have concluded that | they cannot afford to walt for Congress | to act. | Sary to cut wages all along the line. For instance, the price of steel rails ($23 a ton) will*not be changed; consequently | it 18 possible that the men employed in the mills where steel rails are made will |not suffer a cut in wages. This un- doubtedly would raise a howl among the workers {n other mills whose output was affected by the cut In prices and | whose wages were thereforo reduced These matters will all be gone into at | great length and there will be many | conferences with labor leaders and com- | mittees appointed by the workers In the | | various mills. Just how many of the | steel workers are organized is unknown, }even to the Steel magnates themselves, | Statements have been made to the ef- | fect that only 20 per cent. of the em- |ployees of the United States Steel Cor- | poration are really onganized {nto a union, Labor men, however, say that such an estimate Is ridiculous and predict that when the time comes for the organ- | Ized steel workers to show thelr hand tt will be found that a majority of the 240,000 of them have a pretty thorough organization Furthermore, In view of the present | crisis, the labor leaders are getting busy to solidify the entire body of men Into | 4n organization that can lift a power- | ful volce of protest againat a reduction of wages. ‘The men engaged in this work are going about it openly too, so ag to enable the Steel magnates to call upon them for advice as to the exact status of the labor situation When it was first thought advisable delay the cut In wages until May 1, suggestion was offered that this furt delay time in which to prepare for a strike; that is, it would give the agitators more time to stir the men up. The less time they were given for this, the dis- content they would be able a e. Steel workers have been pretty gener- ally regarded since the last big strike, eight years ago, a8 a contented lot of men. Generally, their wages were pretty hh, and as a toilers the: were pi their work was steady If it can be shown to them now that their wage reduction will be only tem- and that It will be a compara- insignificant reduction after all, ata stri th ke will be averted. poss of one, however, financial world, knocked from under the stock market and caused a great flurry on the exchanges abroad.
