THE MORXIXG OnEGON'IAN. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1906. 13 ONLY 3 BARRELS IN SINGLE SLUG Longshoremen's Union Votes on Question of Discharg ing Cement Cargoes. ABANDONS FIVE-CASK PLAN Employer' Demand Itcjcclcd Heav. icr Load on Slings Declared Haz ardous to Workmen, and Said Also to Increase Labor. At the regular weekly meeting of Local No. K5 of the Longshoremen's Union held last night It was unanimously de cided to sustain the action of the meet ing of October 25, when it was ordered that in the discharge of cement cargoes not more than three barrels should be taken out In a single hoist. This confirmatory decision came, as a result of the demand made by the steve dores that live or at least four barrels should bo taken out of the hold in each hoist. For a year previous to the recent strike on the waterfront it was the cus tom to discharge cement by the five-barrel system that is, five barrels being pyra mided in a sling and taken out in a sin gle hoist. When the longshoremen returned to work at the end of the recent strike the old system of discharging cement was begun by the stevedores, but was ob jected to by the union workers, who urged as their reason the extreme danger to which they were exposed under this sys tem. The method of discharging four barrels In a single hoist by means of a double- sling; was tried for half a day. but this, too, met with the disapproval of the union men, who gave their ulti matum that they would not handle more than three barrels in a hoist. The stevedores granted tills concession until the matter could be taken up with the union body and a letter from them was presented to the union last night asking' that the system in vogue before the striko might be reverted to. The stevedores asserted that in Seattle six barrels are discharged in a single hoist and that at all t'aliforniA norts live har- rels is the rule. This statement is dis-1 puted by union officials, who Hssert that, while the five and six-barrel system has been tried in all coaFt ports, yet in each case the method of discharging by three barrels has been gone back to. It is also contended by the union men that there is but little appreciable differ ence in the time of discharging between the three and live-barrel systems, since in the former the men work faster. Secre tary Hall, of the union, said last night: "The question of the discharging of ce ment cargoes wa.s thoroughly discussed, and in tho morning the stevedores will be notified that the men will handle only three barrels In a hoist. It Is true that for the past year we have been working under the five-barrel system, but this lias been an experiment, one which has been tried at all ports, and now Port land, like the others, has to go back to the old system. I'p to 12 months ago, and for almost 20 years, cement was dis charged under the three-barrel system. 'While on the face of it, it might Fcem that It would be quicker to unload with five barrels In a hoist, yet it is not eo. When discharging throe barrels, a man can handle a barrel alone, Bimply having to roll the barrel on the sling. Under the five-barrel system, two men are needed to place each of the two bar rels on top. It means a dead lift twice in each hoist of 400 pounds. This takes time, and Is excessive labor, and that is what we want to avoid. "At the end of the iljy's work there won't be a difference of 23 barrels in dis charging three or live barrels in a hol-st. 'Then, while there in always an ele ment of danger in handling cement, the danger is greater In hoisting five barrels than where tho load is lighter." Shipping men generally are Inclined to condemn the action of the union, saying their refusal to handle live barrels Is un warranted, and that It will without ques tion seriously delay the discharging of ce ment cargoes. MANCHURIA ON Till: DRYDOCK Plates Badly Dented and Main Dam age Is In the Double Bottom. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1. The steam er Manchuria was placed on the drydock yesterday and a partial survey was made of the damage sustained by the vessel while she lay on the Hawaiian reef. Altnounh few of them are punctured, at least 2"0 of the liner's plates are more or less bent and dented, and the bottom of the big steamship resembles a gigantic corrugated washboard. Ail but one of her propeller blades are twisted out of shape, and the bilge keel on the star board side is crushed in like a crumpled tomato can. To make a complete survey will take some time, and the work will begin in earnest this morning, when tho water that yesterday filled the double bottom will have trickled out. It Is thought that the greatest part' of the damage has yet to be revealed, as every dent in the hull, where the liner rested on the rocks, may mean a twist in one of the numerous stanchions between the two bottoms. It is in this double bottom that the sur veyors expect to find the most disastrous effects of the grinding on the reef. BRITISH STEAMEH ON FIRE AH But Two of Nenica's Crew Res cued by Passing Vessel. QUEENSTOWN. Nov. 1. The British steamer Vedamore. 'from Baltimore. Oc tober 20. for Liverpool, passed Kinsale Head this morning and signaled that she saw the British steamer Nemea aban doned and on tire in latitude 51 north, longitude 15 west.

The British steamer Sylvania, from Boston, October 24. for Liverpool, has re ported subsequently seeing the Nemea on Are In about the same position, or 4Tbout 200 miles off the Irish coast. The Nemea left St. Johns. N. B., Octo ber 16. for Manchester. She was com manded by Captain Shaw, was of 2259 tons net, was built at Port Glasgow, and was owned by W. Thompson & Co., of Liver pool.

SEATTLE. Wash., .Nov. 1. Steamship companies that have vessels in the coast ing trade have been notified that an in crease of wages, the same pay as Is in effect on ocean steamers, will be de manded by first, second and third assist ant engineers as a result of a new sched ule adopted at the meeting of the Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association, held October 25..- As far as can be learned, the companies were not consulted with regard to the proposed raixc. and the first they latere aware that a new wage scale had gone into effect on their vessels was upon receipt of a circular letter sent out by the association. - As fast as vessels arrive in port en gineers will be advised of the action taken by the association, and will no doubt refuse to sign on for another voy age unless the increase is given. The salary of the first assistant en gineer has been raised from $t) to $100 per month and the second assistant from 580 to $S5. Third assistant engineers will receive J70 Instead of from $80 to $65. Tho salaries of chief engineers on ocean and coasti-ig steamers will remain at $150, as heretofore. The queftion of the sudden demand of the engineers is now being discussed by the managers of companies In the Alaska trade, and it Is understood the rate on freight sent to Alaska ports Is to be slightly raised to meet tho additional ex pense occasioned by the demands of the engineers.

LI FORBIDS DELAY Executive Board Must Decide Ben Biglin's Case. - THIRTY DAYS IS THE LIMIT Special Meeting Will Probably Be Called to Take Action on Sus pension of Harbormaster. May Be Reinstated. It Is probable that a special meeting, of the Executive Board will be held with in the next few days to act on the case of Benjamin Biglin, who -was suspended from the office of harbormaster, by the Board October 5. It has been brought to the notice of the members of the Board that 30 days is the maximum for which an employe may be suspended under the charter, and, as that time Ttas nearly ex pired, prompt action either for or against Biglin is necessary. The next regular meeting of the Board will be held one week from today, but, as that Is beyond the time limit in the Biglin case, members of the Board said last night that a special meeting would probably be called. Harbormaster Biglin was suspended on charges preferred by Mayor Lane, who accused him of gross carelessness in the use of firearms when he fired the mem orable shot at the moon's reflection dur ing the recent waterfront strike. He was subsequently given an investigation be fore the police committee, when charges of negligence in making out reports were added to the original accusations. Biglin. however, put up a very determined de fense. It was claimed that the charges against him were trivial, and a dozen or more men ot standing testified that he was the best harbormaster the city had ever had. Since the Investigation the police com mittee has attempted to reach a verdict in the case, but so far has failed, as was evident when reports were marie to" the Board Wednesday upon several subse quent investigations, but no word was said concerning the Biglin case. It was stated yesterday that the committee failed to agree in the matter, and, in view of the showing made at the investi gation, many believe that Biglin will be reinstated. "The committee wishes to be just to Biglin and also to the city." said one member yesterday, "and fo far we have been unable to get together on a de cision." Section 317 of the charter, which governs suspensions of city officials, says: "Any appointing authority may suspend a sub ordinate for a reasonable period, not ex ceeding 30 days, but Ftich suspension, if occurring more than once a year, shall be deemed a removal and pubject to In vestigation in like manner." From this section, it is evident, not only that action in the Biglin case must be taken by the first of next week, but also that such action must be final. As further suspension would mean dismissal, the Board must either reinstate the of ficial or discharge him without further postponement. "The intent of the charter is very plain as limiting the suspending power to 30 days," said City Attorney McNary last night. "It certainly implies that If a case of suspension should go over that limit the person suspended could resume his duties and would be entitled to rein statement." I did not reallxe that the 30 days were so nearly up." said R. L. Sabin. a mem ber of the police committee, when the matter was called to his attention last night. "It is probable that the commit tee will hold another meeting within a day or two. and that a special meeting of the Board will have to be called to settle the ease." DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Births.

A fuse blew out on a Castro-street car at Eighth and Market streets, shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. Four persons were hurt. Two of them were taken to the Emer gency Hospital. They were Mrs. Amelia Helm, wife of Rev. Peter Helm, of Chi cago. who sustained a laceration of the scalp, internal injuries, and possibly And many other painful and serious ailments from which most mothers suffer, can be avoided by the use of Mottiers Prlena. 1 his great remedy is a God-send to women, carrying them through their most critical ordeal with safetv and no tiain. msa i mm - Ww f is pi Hf if p ig? j if B I ia Bib I'll A KENTUCKY WOMAN TELLS HOW DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS RESTORED HER HEALTH. How She Gained Fifteen Pound In Weight and Became Well for the First Time In Two Years. "Women at forty, or thereabouts, have their future in their own hands. There will be a change for the better or worse, for the better if the Bystem is purified by such a tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. D. C. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky., writes as follows concerning the diffi culties which afflicted her : " I was seriously ill and was confined to my bed for six or eight months in all, daring two years. I had chills, fever, rheumatism. My stomach seemed al ways too full, my kidneys did not act freely, my liver was inactive, my heart beat was very weak and I had dizziness or swimming in my. head and nervous troubles. "I was under the treatment of several different physicians but they all failed to do me any good. After suffering for two years I learned from an Arkansas friend about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided that I would try them. The very , first box I took made me feel better and when I had taken four boxes more I was entirely well, weighed fifteen pounds more than when I began resumed my household duties, and have since continued in the best of health. I have recommended Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills to many people on ac count of what they did for roe, and I feel that I cannot prnise them too strongly." Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills restored Mrs. Wedding to health because they actually make new blood and when the blood is in full vigor every function of the body is restored, because the blood carries to every organ, every muscle, every nerve, the nourishment necessary to enable it to do its part. Because Dr. Williams Pink Pills make the blood rich and red they restore lost weight, strengthen and revitalize the nerves, bring color to the cheeks, banish rheumatic pains and bring good health and spirits to the de pressed. Any woman who is interested in the enre of Mrs. Wedding will want our book, "Plain Talks to Women," which is free on request. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail post paid, on receipt of price, 50 centsper box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. fracture of the skull, and Miss Kva Cook, a linotype operator of the Examiner, who suffered a laceration of the scalp and In ternal injuries. Miss Cook resides at 100 Fierce streeU Democratic Judges! Hcjected. T.OS ANGEL.E3, Cal., No-. 1. The Her ald this morning prints an article saying that fears arc entertained by the Demo crats that they will not receive proper representation on tho election boards of the state next Tuesday. Significant In stances are alluded to In several counties.

Everything new, modern, first-class and down-to-date. EVER HEAR ANYONE EXPLAIN How he just "happened" to enter our school; without thinking much about where to go? By no means. Our students come to us from deliberate choice because they want the best, and know we have it. Business men know it, too. Each day of the past five years has brought one or more applications for office help. We have no trouble to place all our graduates. Quality does count, after all. Our school RANKS WITH THE BEST IN AMERICA For thorough work. We pit how well against a "short" course and the "get-through-quick" idea, and win out every time. Quality of instruction made more room a necessity, brings more students each year, more calls for help than we can meet. It pays to attend such an institution.
