Deserted Shipyard in Barnstable Maine as Strikes Hold
None of the shipyard strikers have returned to work at Barn, Maine. The marine railway and machine shops run with small forces. Three machinists, three apprentices and three foremen remain, while the engine, foundry, boiler shop and pattern room at Foreman Perkins’s end are deserted. Iron workers feel the executive board erred in ordering a walkout over grievances of wood workers. The shipyard and iron works are over a mile apart with little overlap in personnel. President Goss left for Boston likely to seek labor. Men who were engaged at 250 dollars a day came to bath yesterday but returned to Portland after warning from the Knights of Labor.
