Crisis in Fight Between Shoemakers Unions Rages in Lynn
The State Board of Arbitration may intervene to avert a general strike affecting Lynn and New England shoe centers. The Boot and Shoe Workers' Union accuses the Cutters' Union of breaking faith while the latter claims it fights for liberty against perceived bad faith. The dispute risks shutting down major factories, harming thousands of workers, and could spread to Brockton, Haverhill, and beyond as historic labor factions collide.

President signs coal free list after swift congressional action
A waterfront tragedy unfolds as Chief Steward Drew Stretch of the Cunarder Altonia dies after apparently falling from the tug Vesta near the Vancouver off Boston. His death follows a long Cunard career, with inquiries noting he was healthy, not inclined to melancholy, and possibly accidental, while his widow resides in Liverpool. Meanwhile in Washington, Congress suspends duties on foreign coal for a year and grants free future access to foreign anthracite, a move tied to broader coal policy and a potential government seizure proposal.
