Canadian Grain Shipments (Continued from Page 32) to Canadian lower lake ports, 27,015 bushels; none to Buffalo; and to other United States ports, 113,800 bushels, making a total movement of 140,815 bushels. During the same period, screenings moved to Buffalo in one cargo of 820 tons and to other United States ports in two cargoes totaling 2207 tons, making a grand total for screenings during this pe- riod of 3027 tons. The grand total in all kinds of grain shipped via lake vessels from Fort William and Port Arthur, dur- ing the period from July 15 to Aug. 14 both inclusive, was 20,057,869 bushels, and 3027 tons of screenings. Tugmen’s Strike Ends After 62 days on strike, licensed tugmen, firemen, and linesmen re- turned to work on Aug. 1. This ac- tion, not only again made _ possible the use of tug service for lake ship- ping but it also meant that contracts for harbor improvement could go ahead. It is understood that action favorable to the termination of the strike was finally decided upon by the men at Cleveland, Chicago and Buf- falo after orders had been received from Owen J. Kavenagh of Buffalo, grand president of the Tug Firemen & Linemen’s Protective association, for the men to return to work. The dredge tugmen also have gone back to work and negotiations are now under way for a new working agreement between the two unions and the Great Lakes Towing Co., headed by George A. Tomlinson and the River’s and Harbors Improvement association of Chicago of which John F. Cushing is president. Ashtabula Harbor The Dunbar-Sullivan Co., Detroit, successful bidders on the contract for the improvement of the harbor at Ashtabula, O., which involves a total expenditure of $400,000, started work during the last half of August. Included in the work is the removal of a part of the old breakwater near the mouth of the harbor, extension of the west breakwater and altering the position of the east breakwater. When completed these improve- ments will greatly facilitate the vper- ation of the larger bulk carriers in this harbor. John P. Magill Dies John P.

At the present time the company is the sixth larg- est in the carrying capacity of its fleet. On consolidation, the company’s name was changed to Great Lakes Steamship Co. Having served with the company since its organization and the building of the first vessel, his elevation to the general man- agership is a recognition on the part of the stockholders of his faithful and able conduct of the company’s business. As general manager Mr. Ayers is in complete charge of the operation of the company’s fleet of vessels. Mr. Ayers has been, for some time, in virtual charge of the opera- tions of the Toledo Shipbuilding Co., which is affiliated in interests with the Great Lakes Steamship Co. His election as president is, therefore, a deserved recognition of his services to this company during a particular- ly difficult time.
