SHIPPING TROUBLES TOLD

Agreement, Is Statement of
Steamsliip Official.
BAN FRANCISCO. June 12. With the
scene of the. Pacific Coast longshore
men's strike mediation conferences
transferred to Los Angeles, marine in
terests settled down tonight to await
the outcome of the conferences in the
southern city. The waterfront employ
ers' unions of San Francisco and Seat
tle and Henry M. White, who was ap
pointed mediator by William B. Wilson,
Secretary of Labor, will meet with rep
resentatives of the strikers.
Acting: on the belief that the long
shoremen had failed to live up to the
terms of the armistice by which the
differences apparently were settled ten
tatively last, week, when it was an
nounced the men would return to work
with their demands granted pending
the final settlement of the controversy,
the executive committee of -the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce sent
a lengthy telegram tonight to Secre
tary of Commerce William C. Redfield
at Washington, which charged:
"That the longshoremen violated the
terms of a working agreement with the
Waterfront Employers' Union, entered
Into on December 23, 1916, when, on
May 19 last, their union notified the I
would terminate at all Pacific Coast
ports on June 1. although the agree
ment stipulated that it should remain
in force until either side had given
the other 60 days' notice of its termina
tion. "The strike was called on June 1.
Broken Terms Cited.
"That, although last week's armistice
provided the men should return to work
with all demands granted during the
conference, the longshoremen had brok
en Its terms at Port Costa, Tacoma,
Crockett, Cal., and San Pedro.
"That, although Secretary of Labor
Wilson telegraphed to the International
Longshoremen's Union on June 3 urg
ing them to resume operations and com
ply with the 60-days' notice clause of
their agreement with the employers'
union if they desired a change in wages
or working conditions, this request was
Ignored."
The telegram closes: "The commer
cial interests of the Pacific Coast ports
are seriously threatened by what prom
ises to develop into a general strike on
the entire Pacific Coast, with very far
reaching effects. Accordingly, we call
upon you as the representative of the
Department of Commerce to co-operate
with the Secretary of Labor in his ef
fort to handle the situation with the
view of conserving the commercial op
portunities and activities of the Pa
cific Coast."
The telegram was framed after a
meeting of the executive committee at
which it was stated that contrary to
the agreement under the armistice, the
longshoremen were refusing to load
vessels at Crockett. Port Costa, Tacoma

of the American-Hawaiian Steamship
company, told the executive committee uingstioremen were paid 50 for a

or have the men walk out. This con-
dltion caused the formation of the
Waterfront Employers' Union early in proximately $1800 among longshore
1914. Its objects were to meet the de- men in this port, as she worked 60
Dianda of labor, to forestall any un
reasonable or hasty action by employ
ers or employes by Joint conference,
and to promote harmony.
Mr. Cooke said the agreement con-
tained clauses providing that It should
remain in force until one side had given
the other 60 days notice of its termina
tion, and that under no circumstances
should work be stopped in case of dis-
pute, but that the dispute should be
taken up by the conference committees
of both unions.
In including Mr. Cooke said:
"The. employers are now and have
been, since notice was received, will
ing to grant an Increase of wages and
are willing to waive the 60 days' notice
in so far. as the wages, in this Instance,
are concerned. The sole point at issue
is the observance of the agreement and
the continuance of work under a plan
where grievances are taken up and
adjusted amicably and strikes avoided.'

understand that the closed shop would
exist, effective Immediately, and that
the men would go to work under the

CONFERENCE HELD;
STRIKE UNCHANGED
River Steamboat Men Said to
Hold Out for Original De
mands Throughout.
UNION RECOGNITION ISSUE
Refusal of Longshoremen to Ran-
die "Unfair" Cargoes Looked
Upon as Factor Which May
Bring About Settlement.
It Is not believed that the strike of
members of the River Steamboatmen's
Union, which has been In effect since
June 1, Is particularly changed as i
result of a, conference yesterday be
tween representatives of waterfront
unions and employers. The latter will
report today at a meeting of the steam
boat owners.
The meeting was held at the office of
B. T. McBain. superintendent of the
Willamette Navigation Company, In the
Pit toe k block, Mr. McBain being one of
the committee representing the owners.
Others were Captain J. W. Shaver, of
the Shaver Transportation Company,
and Captain A. W. Graham, of the Ore
gon City Transportation Company.
T. M. Schemell, president of the River
Steamboatmen s Union, with others
from that organization, as well as of
fleers of the longshoremen's unions, met
the employers, and a general statement
is said to have been made of the post
tlon of the men. their demands and
the effect the strike was having on the I
movement of freight handled by the
river vessels that is destined tor trans
shipment on ocean carriers.
Owners have paid 945 a month since
June 1, an Increase of $5 on most steam
ers, and regular passenger and freight
vessels lay over one day each week,
but operators of towboats contend it
would not be possible for them to give
the men one day off In every seven,
while all aver that overtime is out of
consideration and that they will not
recognize the union.
On the other hand, the men are said
to insist on the latter feature as
strongly as others in their demands.
Being allied with the longshoremen,
and the fact notlco has been Kiven tha
cargo carried by river vessels worked
by nonunion crews will not be handled
by the longshoremen, is regarded by
them as a factor In support of their
campaign.
There also enters Into the situation
the desire of the longshore workers
'? ?5,nI1aOUt V?Mef ?1. the r,Veri,8?
there will be no "utofalr" cargo, which
would give them the same volume of
work as before, while now they must
not handle paper, shipments of which
normally move in considerable volume,
or other freight that comes within the
forbidden class.
The steamer Lurllne, of the Harkins
line, operating between Portland and.
Astoria, resumed her regular schedule
yesterday, which means she will leave
Portland .every morning and Astoria
at night. Since the strike she has been
making three trips a week. The O.-W.
R. & N. steamer Harvest Queen is op
erating' on the latter plan, but is ex
pected to go back to the dally tlmecard.
