As late as 9 o'clock last night, regular inspections were made by the police department and the secret service for the purpose of checking on the affected district. No reports, however, were made relative to any disorder, and the strike continued to be peaceful.

A T. Simmie, president of the Luzon Stevedoring company, de- elared last night to the Daily Bul- lefin that his firm will not grant the demands submitted by the striking stevedores for the in- crease of the present scale of Wages..

Leaders of the striking workmen were informed by the Bulletin of the statement made by Mr. Sim mie, and the reply came that the. acceptance of this wage demand by the Luzon Stevedoring com pany, will continue to be the main demand of the labourers.

While talk about another strike by labourera in the employ of other marine cargo contractors were heard among the Luzon warkers throughout the day, up to a late- hour fast night no new conflict had developed.

Manila, June 17.

By unanimous acclaim, more than four hundred støvedores have voted to ignore the decision of their employers, and arrived åt an agreement among themseli es not to resume relations with the com- pany until their main demand, for the one peso increase of the re- gular wage scale, had been grant- ed.

The strikers announced last night that a mass meeting will take place 9 a.m. Sunday (June 10) at the Plaridel theatre, at which matters pertaining to the conflict will be discussed in greater, de- tall. At the meeting. ♫ per- manent committee to direct the course of the strike will be ap- pointed, and a man will be de signated as leader of the entira strike.

The outstanding incident during the meeting last night was the vigorous refusal of the striking stevedores. to accept a proposal submitted by Mr. Cruz, looking toward a temporary settlement, of the controversy. He proposed that the strikers resume their work with the Luzon Stevedoring com- pany pending a definite adjust- ment of the demand for the in- crenso in their wages.
