GREEK'LONGSHOREMEN
AFRAID OF STRIKERS
Filly Hen Imparted by merchants
ft Miners Refuse lo
Work.
RESULT OF ATTACK SUNDAY NIGHT
While Strike-breakers Were Walking
Beneath Coal Piers They Were
Fired Upon from Ambush?Police
Escort Headed by Chief Prevented
Further Trouble.
Following an attack made upon
them on the River Road near the
Chesapeake & Ohio depot Sunday
evening by Ihe striking negro 'long?
shoremen of tho Ohl Dominion Steam?
ship Company and the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company,
about 50 Greeks Imported hero by the
Merchants & Miners Compuriy to re?
place the strikers, refused to go to
work yesterday morTiIng and as a re?
sult operations at the company's
wharfage space on Chesapeake &
Ohio pier No, li were nt n complete
standstill nil yesterday and last
night.
The Gfeeks have made no explana?
tion of their action to Mr. David R.
McNeil, local agent for the Merchants
& .Miners Company, and ho Is at a
loss to account for their failure to
report for work. In tho opinion of
some persons who claim to he In
close touch with the situation the
Creeks want CO cents an hour for
their work while others sny that as
a result of Sunday night's attack the
Greeks are afraid to continue work.
Mr. McNIel stated yesterday after?
noon that he would make every pos?
sible effort to secure additional
'longshoremen this morning and he
hopes to hnve a large force of men
at work before noon.
. Negroes Attack Greeks.
Tho attack upon tho Greeks
by the striking negroes Sun?
day evening came as quite a sur?
prise. The Greeks were walking up
River Road from pier No. 6 to a res?
taurant on Washington avenue near
Twenty-third street nnd when they
were passing under Chesapeake &
were In'um bush, fired several revol?
ver allein und threw lumps of coal
at them. The Greeks heat a hasty
retreat up the River Head to Twen?
ty-third street and all escaped with?
out injury.
Protected by Police.
Upon learning of the attack some
limp afterwards, Mr. MeNlol. reported'
ill to the police department and Chief,
of Police John \V. Reynolds and Pa?
trolmen Fisher. Padgett and Johnson
J went to the restaurant ami escorted
I them back to pier No. G. The negroes
jdid not renew their attack during tin?
I rip, nor were the Greeks molested
when they stopped work about mld-j
night Sunday night.
The Old Dominion Steamship Com-'
party yesterday put a force of about
2r> men at work on their wharfage
since at pier No. (> and late last night
the situation there was somewhat re?
lieved. The freight aboard the Old
Dominion liner Jamestown, now at
Norfolk, consigned I for shipment '
through Gils city, was brought here?
from Norfolk on barges In the after-1
I noon and was unloaded and re-loaded |
j on cars. The steamer Seneca arriv?
ed hero last night and the work of
unloading and loading her will begin
'. this morning.
This will be the first Old Dominion
liners that has been worked here j
I since the negroes struck last Weil-,
, n< rtday. The steamer Monroe arrived 1
j here Sunday, hut has not yet been
i unloaded.
I Tile officials of both companies are
] as positive as ever in refusing to
meet the demands of the strikers and
j I liny expect the strike to be declared
off In the very near future.
