When officials of the White Star line announced their intention of getting non-union stokers to fill tha places of the strikers, the crew on the Olympic threatened to desert, and the plan , was abandoned.

A deputatlbn ' of strikers, then watched the . metal boats lowered, and . If the metal boats come up to the expecta tions of the White Star officials, the Olymplo probably will sail tonight.
