MARITIME DISPUTE.
MOVE AGAINST MR BRIDGES. ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 22. The maritime labour dispute threatens to assume greater magnitude. The American Federation of Labour is organising a ney department encompassing over 500,000 sailors, longshoremen, teamsters .and radio operators engaged on the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Mexican Gulf, and the Great Lakes.
The shipping president (Mr William Green) declared that the department would fight to a finish against Mr Bridges and all C. 1.0. maritime organisations. The move is the mast ambitious ever undertaken by the federation and is the strongest attack ever launched against Mr Bridges. Mr W. Green anticipates that a number of C. 1.0. members will desert him as soon as the department is forriied, thus clapping Mr Bridges into a vice.
