STEVEDORES FACE
PAY CONTROVERSY
Say Longshoremen Arbitrarily
Raised Rates 20 Per Cent
on Lower River.
WAGE AGREEMENT BROKEN
Chamber of Commerce Is Appealed
to by Employers to- Insist on Con
tract Being Maintained as
Drafted In 10 08.
Difficulties met -with by the stevedores
In loading tramp steamers recently at
Rainier and Prescott. when, it is al
leged, hatchtenders and wlnchmen de
manded an increase of from BO to CO
cents an hour, have resulted in an ap
peal being made to the Chamber of Com
merce by the stevedoring firms of Brown
& McCa.be and the McCabe Company, to
straighten out the controversy.
When the longshoremen and stevedores
entered into an agreement in September,
1908, it is said the Chamber of Commerce
acted as an intermediary or rather stood
as sponser for the longshoremen In the
interest of shipping. The stevedores af
firm that the agreement established a
scale of 60 cents an hour for lumber and
65 cents an hour for wheat, with foremen
to be paid 65 cents an hour.
Recent Instance Recalled.
When an attempt was made to load
the tramp Strathtay recently it is de
clared that the hatchtenders and winch
men refused to "turn to" unless they
were paid at the rate of 60 cents for
lumber and that in order not to delay
work on the vessel, the demands were
met.
Yesterday the communication was for
warded to the Chamber of Commerce and
it is probable a hearing will be held to
determine the outcome. The stevedores
recite that the agreement was for work
on the Willamette and Columbia rivers
on all offshore -vessels, while the long
shoremen took the stand that it was ef
fective only in the local harbor and that
the work at Rainier, St. Helens and
Prescott was without its jurisdiction.
1 The agreement terminates in Septem
ber of this year and unless the pending
controversy Is settled it is not improbable
that the longshoremen will insist on a
new agreement, probably defining the
boundaries differently.
Communication Set Forth.
The communication addressed to the
Chamber of Commerce and Jointly signed
toy the stevedores, is appended:
In September, 1008. an agreement was
wade by and bet-ween the longshoremen's
-union ana ourselves, wneretn you appeared
as sponsors. That said agreement, among
other things, provided a certain watre scale
We beg to advise you that said Long
shoremen's Union, for which you stood as
Fponsor, has violated and repudiated said
agreement, and arbitrarily and without cause
raised and advanced the wage scale, and,
through threats of stopping work and tielng
up shipping, actually compelled us to pay
sin advance of 20 per cent.
We, the undersigned, parties to said agree
ment, beg to ask what course you propose
taking and whether you approve such ac
tions, which, when It becomes known along
the Coast, will work a great hardship on the
port and prejudice shipping on the Columbia
River.
HAZEL DOIiLAR COMES IX JTJIiX
Ban Francisco Firm Purchases
3,000,000 Feet of Lumber.
Bidding entered into the last of the
week for about 3,000,000 feet of lum
ber for the China market resulted in
an order being placed with the Port
land Lumber Company by the Dollar
Interests, of San Francisco, and the
.cargo will be loaded about the middle
of next month aboard the steamer Hazel
Dollar. Because it was a hurry order,
tome of the mills found they could
not cu the amount easily and fill
standing demands, and though the
Portland was rushed it fortunately se
cured the business.
The tramp EIr, recently taken for
an Oriental cargo, is due today, and
the Wotan finished yesterday at the
mill. The rush in coastwise business
is said to be drawing to a close, as
the purchase of 60,000,000 feet on Grays
Harbor recently for the California mar
ket at SI 3 a thousand feet, the mills
to pay 4 freight, has stocked that
territory for the remainder of the Sum
mer. Stocks in California are reported
low and business placed recently has
generally been rush orders, and little
has been purchased for the future.
CONCRETE DOCK IS FOR STARK
City Property to Be Made Attractive
and Serviceable as Well.
To build a stone or concrete pier at
the foot of Stark street, which front
age is owned by the city, is a plan be
ing fostered by Harbormaster Speier,
who believes that a municipality hav
ing attained the proportions of Port
land should have waterfront property
so improved mat it will afford a
rendezvous for the poorer classes, who
have not the privilege of trespassing
on private docks, and will also afford
b public berth for motor craft.
His idea is to extend the structure
to the harbor line and, while the top
might be equipped with seats and other
restful attractions, a flight of stone
steps would be provided leading to a
concrete base or wooden float, so that
all small craft not regularly engaged
in the passenger trade could land there
temporarily. When the details are in
shape the proposition probably 'will be
submitted to the Council. It will be
the first concrete dock extending to the
harbor line on the waterfront.
H. YOrjfG QUITS OCEAN MXE
t
Will Operate Craft on the Snake
River In Xew Territory.
' Harry Young, for over four years
Portland agent of the North Pacific
Steamship Company, has tendered his
resignation, to take effect July 1, and
will in the future direct his attention
to operating a. gasoline vessel on the
Snake River, 'plying between Black
loot ana American Falls.
Mr. Young has been but of the city
tor aDOUt tnree weeks, attending to
details incident to the launching of his
mw craft, but will return this week
to formally turn over the business of
the office to his successor. The latter
has not been officially named, but will
probably be a local man. Mr. Young is
widely known in transportation circles
and his knowledge of those matters han
froven a material aid in the conduct
of the local oince.
Gale Swings I-eyland Brothers.
Portland experienced, in a small
measure, the effect of the gale off the
coast yesterday, and the British ship
iityiana Druiuers, wmcn is lying be
low the bridges, was ordered by Har
bormaster Speier to let go her stern
anchor, as she. was twinging across the
stream. The wind lost its tempestuous
force during the afternoon, but District
Forecaster Reals had ordered storm
warnings displayed, as it had attained
a velocity of 60 miles an hour off North
Head.
Potter Reaches Dock for Service.
In command of Captain Works, the
steamer T. J. Potter will formally open
the Summer beach season Friday,
when she will leave at 8:30 o'clock
from the Ash-street dock of the O. R.
& N. for Megler to connect with the
train for Long Beach. The steamer
was yesterday towed to Ash street, re
splendent in a new coat of paint. In
stead of the former full coat of white,
she is now trimmed in light brown.
The craft has been gone over thor
oughly and is said to be more attrac
tive and comfortable than before. She
will leave here Saturdays at 1 o'clock
and July 4 is to depart from Megler
at 9 o'clock in the evening for Port
land, Instead of in the afternoon.
Norwegian Seamen Sign Bond.
When the Norwegian steamer Sark, now
finishing here, reaches Tacoma, she will
be Joined by a steward and sailor, who
have been sent from Norway, in addi
tion to others who were signed after she
arrived in the harbor. The former came
to the United States under bond to be
come members of. the Sark's company
and remain for a period of two years.
The move is the result of recent action
in Norway, through which It is hoped

Service Better -on Tillamook Route.
Trade between Portland- and Tilla
mook has increased to such proportions,
despite the difficulties encountered by
reason of the teamsters strike in de
livering freight to the docks, that the
owners of the steamer Golden Gate yes
terday announced that she will shortly
inaugurate a semi-weekly service to
Tillamook. The steamer Sue H. Elmore
will depart soon after the Golden Gate
this afternoon, and operators of the
latter craft have been compelled to
load the gasoline schooner Oshkosh for
the same port, sailing tomorrow even
ing.
Kygja to Sail Mystery Deepens.
More mystery has enveloped the re-
ported grounding of an Oriental liner
in Tsugari Straits last week, which was
said to have been the Selja, but which
General Agent Ransom thought was the
Rygja. through the receipt of advices
yesterday that the latter will sail from
Yokohama Thursday. No information
has been forwarded as to the damage
sustained by the craft in trouble, and
local officers are unable to account lor
the delay.
Marine Xotes.
Harbormaster Speier has received as
surances from the executive officer of
the cruiser Marblehead that when she
leaves the Sound in July, en route to
Portland, he will be notified in time
to prepare for her reception, in Port
land.
In cargo from the Bay City, the Nann
Smith, one of the largest schooner-
rigged steamers on the Coast, is due
today on her initial trip to this port.
Since being placed in service two years
ago she has plied on the San Fran
cisco-Coos Bay route.
To assist the schooner Irene, lumber-
laden for the South, from St. Helens
to sea, the Port of Portland tug John
McCraken left down yesterday after
noon. Today she will .return to tow
the schooner W. K. Jewett, which is
finishing at the same point.
For the purpose of coaling before go
ing to sea on an inspection voyage, di
rected by Commander J. M. Ellicott,
the lighthouse tender Heather steamed
to the bunkers yesterday. She was
turned over Saturday by the Willam
ette Iron & Steel Works after repairs
and an overhauling.
Yesterday's entries at the Custom
House included the steamers Catania,
Washtenaw, Rosecrans and Geo. W. Ei
der, from San Francisco. Those clear.
ing were the German steamer Wotan,
for Panama; British ship Ley land
Brothers, for Delagoa Bay, and the
steamer Newport, for Coquille.
Captain Chilcott, a retired mariner.
who is now skipper of a ranch near
Wheatland, was in the city yesterday
in connection with plans formed by
the growers along the Upper Willam
ette to secure a small steamer to han
die their fruits and vegetables during
the period the stream above Newberg
is closed to navigation.
Following general repairs, the steam
er Pomona, of the Oregon City Trans
portation Company's coterie, was yes
terday floated from the ways at the
Portland Shipbuilding Company's plant
and towed to the foot of Taylor street.
Only minor work remains to be done
aboard. The steamer Oregona will not
be sent to the yards until after the
Fourth of July rush.
That the Columbia River bar is in
good condition, having attained greater
width than at any time last year, I
reported by F. C. Schubert, assistant
United States engineer in charge of
the bar survey. Mr. Schubert state
that while the channel does not show
a greater maximum depth, there is
material increased area of deep water,
eliminating many shoal places.

portsCoarse Grains Also
Make Wide Gains.
CHICAXK), Jun 20. With & crop outlook
declared by one authority to Jfe the worst Ih
ten yars, wheat today closed 46Hc higher
than a week ago. The finish was strong and
at the topmost point of the day. Compared
with last prices on Saturday, there was a net

other leading staple on the exchange was
affected and closed at an advance corn lc

Today's sensational rise in wheat resulted
because the showers that Saturday broke the
market proved to nave been unimportant. The
weatber was hot and dry on Sunday and the
complaints from the Spring wheat states, both
this morning and this afternoon, were the
DiacKeet this season. It was the president
of a leading elevator company, operating in
North Dakota and Minnesota, who said he
considered the outlook the most discouraging
in a decade.
The market was a sort of balloon ascension
affair riicht from the start. Commission
houses found a surprising volume of buying
orders on hand, with apparently no end of
other orders piling in. Not one in ten of the
instructions to purchase could be executed
anywhere near the closing figures of Saturday.
Reactions were few and slight. In each in
stance the chief cause was profit taking, al-
hougn showers reported from South- Dakota
checked bullish enthusiasm a little at one
time. September ranged from 01c to 94Hc,
closing at the latter figure, 23c above the
previous close.

LAST PRICES ARE BEST
SIGNING OF RAILROAD BILL IS
BENEFICIAL TO STOCKS.
Feeling of Relief That the Question
Is Out of the Way Crop News
Has Little Effect.
NEW YORK. June 20i The operators in
stocks chose for the central subject of con
sideration today the signing by President
Taft of the railroad bill and the consequent
completion of contemplated legislation on
that subject for the present.
The action of the wheat market brought
the crop prospect into view as a contending
factor and Interrupted the Influence of the
railroad bill. There was slight increase 01
animation In the speculation, as 1b evr-
denced by the meager aggregate of the day's
transactions, but the last prices of the day
were generally the best.
The favorable effect on the tone of the
market of the disposition of the railroad
legislation may be due simply to a feeling
of relief that it was out of the way. Some
of the clauses are avowedly distasteful to
the railroads as well as to shippers. The
more immediate Influence of the bill in the
stock market comes from the - fact that
Its passage will be made the signal for re
newed notices of the intended Increase in
freight rates.
In the financial district, the conviction is
general that increases will be granted. This
conviction underlies' the apprehension tnat
tactics of professed dLscontent and alarm
will be used by the railroads in the conduct
of their campaign for the increase tactics
which may operate to discredit railroad se
curities as well as to recommend compliance
with demands for increased rates.
The active efforts of banking representa-
tlves towards reconciling great shippers to
the desired rate increases and the necessary
consultation with the Government authorities
enjoined by the new railroad law, carry a
broad suggestion that future railroad rates
are likely to be a subject , of agreement
which the anti-trust law will hardly be in
voked to prevent.
The lump In wheat checked the slowly
rising tendency of prices of stocks, but
without providing a stronger influence in
granger stocks than in the general list.
Iron producers seem to be making con
cessions still to secure the larger volume of
orders which are reported. Copper also
showed another decline in prices In London
today. The offering for public subscription
of the Southern Pacific terminal mortgage
bonds upset a supposition that the bonds
had been disposed of to German and Swiss
bankers on absolute sale.
The London market remains quiet in spite
of the conviction of a coming period of easy
money.
Bonds were firmer. Total sales par value.
$1,485,000. United States 3s declined
per cent in the -bid price on call.

POSLAM'S RESULTS
Effectiveness of a New Healina- Agent
Occasions General Surprise.
"I was perfectly dumfounded at its
results." says Mr. C. E. Thornton. Phila
delphia. Pa., who had suffered for ten
years from eczema, tried all kinds of
remedies and was cured in one month
after a few applications of poslam, the
new skin remedy.
The rapidity and effectiveness with
which poslam works is a source of sur
prise and gratification to sufferers
from every surface skin disease;
eczema, acne, tetter, scabies, rash, etc.
This wonderful healing agent is active
from the first application, when all
itching is stopped, until a complete
cure is effected. And Its range of use
fulness includes every variety of skin
affection, from pmples, rash, red noses,
inflamed complexion, etc., to those
virulent and chronic troubles which
cause such great distress.
To fully appreciate what poslam will
do, obtain one of the free samples by
writing to the Emergency Laboratories,
32 West Twenty-fifth street. New
York City. This alone Is sufficient to
cure a small eczema surface, clear the
completion and remove pimples. The
Skidmore Drug Co. and the Woodard,
