London, June 10.--It is estimated in Liverpool that £180,000 will be required for the relief of depen- dents of the Empress of Ireland, passengers and crew. Towards this the following has already been re- ceived: Liverpool fund, £16,000; London fund, £31,000; Canadian fund, £40,000. Monetary assis- tance will also come through legal compensation, payable to the crew, and possible damages, payable to passengers. There is also the assis- tance from orphanges. With all these sources reckoned, however, amount so far received is quite inadequate for the needs of situation. the | tant editor of the War Cry. STRIKERS IN VICIOUS MOOD.
