MURDERED BY STRIKERS They Fired on Colored Dock La- borers Who Supplanted Them, SEVEN MEN DEAD, NINE INJURED. The Disorder the Culmination of a Series of DifMeulties Between Stevedores and Thelr Employes The Shooting of a Briton May Cause International Complications, NEW ORLEANS, March 18.—The thick fog In the early morning was the vail behind whioh desperate white levee laborers gath ered, and which they penetrated with Win chester rifle balls aimed at the colored non union men at work on the ships. The at tack was made at miles apart just before the arrival of the police and a result there half a dozen corpses and a dozen or so wounded men 1 points several as are The police saw the attack, but no arrests | followed, they claiming they were too fow to cope with the unexpected outbreak. The day before the mayor sald all was quiet and the governor saw no grounds for in terference, but today the business men are denouncing both. The militia is in readi ness to move, an appeal to the federal gov ernment has virtually been made, and even the forolgn « have decided to join in the movement for peace at any price. The causes which led to the troubles have been of long standing, and grew out of the attempts of ship agents and others interested to reduce rates. The white screwmen claim that the colored men who were given a share of the work under an agreement, made secret cuts and vio lated the agreement in order to obtain more work and gradually crowd the white men off. The white associations then sev ered all ties with the blacks and refused to work with them or for the ployed them. The white 'longshoremen joined the screwmen in this. Since then the steamship lines have been gradually going over to the negroes. Lately the white screwmen quit work on the lines still loyal to them, and stated that they would not work until the whole affair was straightened out. Several more lines then took on negro labor from neces sity. The whites finally determined to re tallate on the stevedores duce rates and deal with the ships direct Ships in haste accepted the offer, but the agents stood by the stevedores The latter offered to pay m screwmen asked, but fused to deal with them fered to pay Wm and pay the stevedores over perintendents, but the declined. Then the stevedores began porting colored screwmetr and the whites, growing despe loose in riot. The dead are: William Campbell (col ored), screwman, shot at Philip Jules Calice Carrabe, shoemaker, front of the Lyons clothing store; un known, shot in the vicinity of Cromwell line; unknown negro, shot in same vis ity; Leonard Mallard (colored shot over right eye The injured: James A.

The con sul declined to make any statement as to what action would be taken The police thus far made but two ar rests in connection with the riot.
