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."

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.

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
