OLYMPIC GREW REFUSE 10 SAIL. ?Stoma room womueiui hkad ?mm on i iNi.it. l>o?*pit<- Officer's Assurance That lioat Supply In Ample, Men Kalk at Collapslhlea. Southampton. April 2">.?When the White Star liner olympie, lister ship to the Titanic, was ready to sail from here ytst rday for New York, 300 firemen and englneroom workers quit j the vessel, declaring that the collapsi? ble boats on the Olympic were un j seaworthy. The Olympic is lying off Jiyde, Isle of Wight, with 1,4 00 pas t ?engen: Aboard and no possibility of ?ailing before noon today, if then. There were reports that some of the pamngtn had refused to sail, , but for the present time all remain aboard the vessel. It was also re? ported soon after the strike was in? augurated, that the company had succeeded in getting men to take the strikers' places, but this proved to be incorrect. As a matter Of fac t, the strike has extended to the crew, which now de? clines to sail with the "blackleg" firemen, who were brought aboard yesterday and the British Seafarers' union is supporting the men on this decision. Pickets are patrolling the docks to prevent the recruiting of "blacklegs." in an endeavor to have the striken return to work. Commander Clark. chief of the immigration office in Southampton, offered to demonstrate in the Cowei roads that the boats on the Olympic were absolutely safe. The men were ready to listen to this ' propo*ttloili but later, it is learned, declared that they would have been r?ady to sai if the company had agri ed t<> de nonetrate the sea worthi? er s o? the b >ats at this port. This, in f\irn, the company declined to do. Commander Clarke says that there are 4 1 lifeboat! on board tlie Olympic, including the collapsible boats, and that their total seating capacity is 2.."?00, w hich is largely in excess of the total of the passengers and crew. While he considers wooden lifeboats superior, he was satisfied with all the boats on board. ? oic <?f the stokers of the Olympic said: What we demand is that every one of the lifeboats shall be a wooden oi e. Personally, I do not care, as I am unmarried, but many of th< men have wives and families an-i their lives are as valuable as tho^ Of the first class passengers." Mrs. John S. Iliggs is visiting' and Mrs. W. Y. L. Marshall on Bd Street. HG CROWDS TeM the STORY!
