a2 MARINE REVIEW. WHERE THE REVIEW IS FOR SALE.

The trouble among grain shovelers at Buffalo will be fully settled by the stand which the Lake Carriers' Association has taken in support of the contractor, W. J. Conners. The position of the vessel owners is, in a few words, that the contractor is expected to treat with the men on the basis of last year's wages. He has promised to do this and the ship owners have full confidence in him. The Buffalo trouble, which now seems well at an end, is thus summed up by a representative of the Lake Carriers who has been in close touch with the situation: '"'The first re- ports about Conners trying to make $200,000 on the season's grain re- ceipts at Buffalo by paying the men by the hour and reducing the number of shovelers, were greatly exaggerated. The new arrangement which he proposed might have been to his advantage, but it is certain that the niain cause of the trouble was the effort of labor agitators and the saloon bosses to overthrow or at least create trouble for the present contract system, which is not to their liking but highly satisfactory to the vessel owners. Whether the contractor was or was not trying to secure an advantage by having the men work by the hour it is certain that when called upon to do so he announced a willingness to treat the men entirely on the basis of last year's dealings with them, and when he did this there was nothing for the vessel owners to do but uphold him." The revenue cutter Manning has been ordered to New York City for repairs to her hull frames in the neighborhood of the boilers. A recent examination disclosed the fact that a number of the main frames are bent and it is supposed that this damage was done during the recent cruise of the vessel in the inside waters of south Cuba. Bement, Miles & Co. of Philadelphia have secured from the Carnegie Steel Co. a large order for lathes for the new axle manufacturing plant of the big steel concern. The Philadelphia firm is also making some ship- ments of very large gun lathes to England and Russia. An unusual sight was witnessed at Belfast, Ireland, some days ago when there were in port vessels aggregating 109,430 tons, of which 70,680 tons was represented by ships undergoing repairs or fitting out at the Harland & Wolff plant. A story has been in circulation in the east during the past week to the effect that Vickers' Sons & Maxim of England are negotiating for the for- mation of an alliance with the Wm. Cramp & Son Ship & Engine Building Co. of Philadelphia.

This polish serves as a cleaning and polishing compound for brass and all bright metals and conteirs no acid or other iavredient inju- rious to the surface to which it may be applicd. It is especially adapted to marine engines, and fer all manner of polishing work on yachts and steamboats, and is endorsed by many chief engineers of the United States navy as well as firms like the Gas Engine & Power Co. of New York The committee of engineers which recommended its use by the bureau of steam engineering, navy department, said in their report: "We find it is a liquid compound resembling a mixture of Bristol brick and oil, We have tested it in competition with a mixture of Bristol brick and oil, and also in competition with another mixture of rottenstone and oil, and found it superior to them in producing the desired effect. It rapidly and with little labor restores a fine polish to discolored brass, copper and nickel-plated surfaces, and this polish is well retained. It has no disad- vantages that we have been able to discover. We therefore recommend it for purchase and use for purposes under cognizance of the bureau of steam engineering."
