DAY'S STRIKE DEVELOPMENTS.
San Pedro Compromise unan
imously rejected.
Portland Strikers mark time.
San Francisco Return to work
awaits referendum result.
While in receipt of official telegrams
from San Francisco . setting forth the
basis of agreement entered into there
between longshoremen and the Water
front Employers' Union, on which they
were asked to vote. Portland longshore
men yesterday waited further infor
mation from the south and it was ex
pected they would be in a position
today to take action.
Officers of Longshoremen's Union
No. 5, which attended t all work for
the San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company previous to the strike,
said they had informed W. D. Wells,
Portland agent of the line, regarding
the news they had from San Francisco.
Mr. Wells said last night that he had
not been advised by G. L. Blair, gen
eral manager of the fleet, as to whether
steps were to be taken in the matter.
Old Conditions Would Govern.
He said he understood from the union
officials that the plan was to return
to work under conditions governing
before the strike, the scale for that
company being 60 cents an hour
straight time and 75 cents an hour
overtime. That is to apply until a"on-
ference at San Francisco August 1.
The steamer Rose City, of that line,
reached Ainsworth dock late last night
from San Francisco with 1400 tons of
freight and about 100 passengers. Mr.
"Wells said that in the absence of in
structions from Mr. Blair at San Fran
cisco he would proceed to discharge
the vessel today with nonunion men
who were being taken care of on the
dock. He said he refused to hire more
men yesterday. Friday has been fixed
as the sailing day of the Rose City.
Strike Considered Kearly Settled.
The union men appeared to be ex
pecting word from Puget Sound as
well as San Francisco, though it was
not admitted that the action at either
port would govern them in all par
ticulars.
"I consider the strike practically set
tled," said Thomas McCusker, secre
tary of the Employers' Association.
will insist on the men who are working
for ub being retained and that we se
lect our own in the future."
Jt was 47 days yesterday since the
first walkout took place, when long
shoremen and steamboat workers along
the Coast left their places on the em
ployers refusing to meet demands for a
higher scale, new working conditions
and a closed shop. The river steamers
have been kept going in the main, while
the "Big Three" fleet and some of the
((team schooners have been worked by
nonunion gangs, and the -union long,
shoremen have handled cargo on deep
water vessels and lumber barges for
Alaska, stevedoring firms doing the
work being on the "fair" list. In those
cases the new scale has applied.
Mayor Albee has given assurance
that adequate protection will be af
forded at the docks in replacing
private guards with uniformed police.
If it becomes necessary it is understood
the Council will be asked to pass an
ordinance so men on the eligible list
for patrolmen may be added to the
regular force. A few have been se
lected recently to take the place of pa
trolmen who went to the Mexican bor
der with the Third Oregon Infantry.
STKIKEKS VOTE ON RETTRNIXG
TTiiiott Men Delay Carrying Ont Pact
Till Ballots Are Counted.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 17. Striking
union longshoremen in Northern and
Southern Pacific Coast ports balloted
today on the question of returning to
work Immediately under old conditions
pending arbitration, as voted by the
ban rancisco striken Eaturdav. ev
eral northern locals were not expected
to ratify the action of the San Fran
Cisco men. The San Pedro longshore
men. the first to poll their returns, de
lded unanimously not to accept theJSUppOSed
L-uinruiiiise agreement.
The outcome of the balloting practi
cally will decide whether the San Fran
cisco strikers will return to work under
the agreement they accepted Saturday
from the Waterfront Employers' Union
by a vote of 1186 to 649, according to
-union officials. The local men Intended
to resume work today but delayed their
ncllon pending returns from the other
ports.
J. J. Murphy, president of the local
Riggers' and Stevedores' Union, said
tonight the local men had expected
their brethren to ratify the agreement,
but in the event they did not, his union
probably would "stick with the boys on
strike."
The scope of the law and order com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce,
which Is waglnir a Jl.000.000 fight
ngainst the closed shop and the strike,
has been extended to cover the situ
ation as it affects the Pacific Coast
Ship Owners Association and the lum
bermen of the Coast, according to an
nouncement made here today.
The law and order committee said
that any settlement made by the
Waterfront Employers' Union with the
itrlkers would not affect the ship own
ers and lumbermen, who were stand
ing for the open shop under all con
ditions. Although reports from several of the
California ports reached San Francisco
tonight. J. J. Foley, president of the
J'HCific Coast district of the Interna
tional Longshoremen's Association, de
clined to give out even an inkling of
the trend of the votes cast today.
"I would not care," Mr. Foley said
tonlrht. "to say anything about the
matter until tomorrow when the abso
lute result of all balloting: will be
available. It Is not the result of voting
in any one place that will decide the
isue, but the general sentiment ex-l't-essed
from all points,"
8TIUKKHS REFUSE TO GO BACK
tun Pedro Loca!s Vote Against Re
turning Pending Settlement.
SAN PEDRO, Cal.. July 17. Long
shoremen and dockworkers on strike
fiiir June 1 voted unanimously today
)ot to return to work under old coo
t. it ions pending arbitration, aa voted
iy the San Francisco locals.
A secret ballot was beftun today by
the Longshoremen Jnlon. W hen the
dockworkers came to vote, they took a
standing: vote instead of carrying- on
the slow balloting:. Officials of both
unions said the vote was "unanimous"
against returning: to work under such
conditions.
"We are very much satisfied with the
result of the vote etnd are hoping: it
wiil have a tendency to cheer up the
men in the north who are setting: cold
feet," declared James Reid, secretary
of the Long-shoremen's local, early to
night. ,
Mr. Reid explained his statement
more fully by saying- it was hoped by
the strikers here their vote today would
have the effect of inducing- the longr
shoremen and dockworkers at Seattle.
Portland and other porta to take a sim
ilar vote.
Edward Ellison, secretary of the
Waterfront Association of San Fran
cisco, came here today, but denied re
ports that his visit was meant to in
fluence the local unions to vote to re
turn to work, as was done in San Fran
cisco. Mr. Ellison said he was on a
vacation.
Approximately 300 strikebreakers
were working- here today, most of them
being- employed handling- lumber in the
inter-harbor at Wilmington.
The British steamer Counsellor ar
rived here today from Liverpool. Work
of unloading- a general cargo of 100
tons consigned to this port was begun
late today by a crew of strikebreakers.
The pier at which the freighter was
unloading was guarded by a number
of police officers, but no efforts were
made by the strikers to interfere with
the work. .
CAPTAIX HUNTER SEES SIGHTS
Master of Turblner Spends Day In ;
Town and Tells of New Business.
Captain Al Hunter, of the liner
Northern Pacific, that "races the gulls"
between the river and San Francisco,
was, for the first time in many months,
trying his sturdy sea legs on Portland
streets yesterday afternoon. His com
mand lays over Monday at Flavel.
' The skipper says that Summer busi
ness is increasing and recently the
crew has been recruited until It now
musters 17a men the greatest number
of any ship on the Pacific. At the
height of the tourist season, when ca
pacity lists are being carried, a crew
of 225 men is required.
Captain Hunter and Cantain Ahman.
of the Great Northern, are seldom seen
around executive headquarters of the
line in the Pittock block, as their duties
In port, if not as exacting as when
afloat, still continue. As soon as the
ship docks and the passengers are dis
charged and. at a moment when all the
crew aboard are unexpectant, the fire
alarm is sounded and a full fire drill is
had. Every man and woman on the
ship has certain duties assigned and
the execution of these duties is fol
lowed to the letter, the lifeboats being
lowered and every detail carried out
the isame as if under, stress at sea.
Rigorous discipline along this line is
enforced and every member of the crew
made familiar with the routine.
HIGH RATE PUT ON BEAR
Stranded Coaster Quoted Now on
English Overdue Market.
Renorts of the English overdue mar
ket show that the "Big Three" liner
Bear is being carried on the list with
reinsurance quoted at 35 guineas. The
vessel was listed when she went on the
beach north of Cape Mendocino, June
14, and should salvage operations take
an encouraging turn it is expected the
price will drop. That has been the
case with the Japanese steamer Ken
kon Maru No. 3, ashore at Saturna
island since January, the rate on
which has gradually dropped until 20
guineas was reached, because salvage
operations are reported progressing.
Relative to lost vessels one Item of
general interest has reached Portland
that being that Eastern salvage com
panies have negotiated with the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Company as
to an attempt to raise the steamer
Washlngtonian, which went down off
the Bast Coast more than a year ago
when nearing Delaware Breakwater
from Honolulu, having been In colli
sion with the schooner Elizabeth
Palmer. The steamer Florldan was
built to replace her.
ENGINES TO BE KEPT GOING
City of Portland to Be Propelled by
Wheels and Sails.
As one result of the visit Sunday of
the motorship City of Portland, which
was navigated from St Helens to the
Standard Oil Company's station to fill
her fuel oil tanks, discussions have
ensued as to the probable percentage
of time on a voyage that her engines
will be used. The assumption has
been that they would operate at sea
when calms or head winds Interfered
with the use of her sails, but Chief
Engineer Kennedy says the propellers
will be kept turning at all times.
The Bolinder engines installed are
four-cylinder types and two on each
engine will be "cut out," so the other
two cylinders will drive the wheels.
except during stress of weather or
calms, when the engines will work to
capacity. Of course, in making port
and shirting in harbors the engines
will be worked with the four cylinders
as well. The performance of the City
of Portland against the current in the
Columbia River Sunday leads her of
ficers to believe that she can 'Tuck" a
much stronger tide "rip" than has been

POLICY DEFINITE
Stand for Open Shop on Wa
terfront Emphatic, Regard
less of Action Elsewhere.
PROTECTION IS DEMANDED
After Meeting Between Commercial
Organization and Employers' As
sociation Statement Is Given
Out Explaining: Attitude.
A determined stand in favor of the
open shop on the waterfront was
adopted at a .meeting yesterday after
noon of the advisory committee of the
Chamber of Commerce and the Em
ployers' Association.
The open-shop policy had been In
dorsed at a previous meeting of the
Chamber's board of directors, and their
stand was approved by a mail s-ote of
members.
More recently the shipping Interests
in California attempted to effect a set
tlement of the waterfront controversy
all along the Coast, and the meeting
yesterday was called to determine
what attitude would be taken toward
the California proposals.
Position Is Explained.
Following the conference the fol
lowing explanation was made of the
Portland position:
A wane rate of 50 cents an hour regular
time and 75 cents an hour overtime for
all general cargo and lumber In this port
Is absolutely aair. A very large number
of men want work at that wage and will
take It if given sufficient protection to
prevent vicious assaults by rioters. The
eagerness of these men to work and the
fact that thev have been able to earn much
better returns on their labor while engaged
In this work than at anything else they
have undertaken here proves that the pres
ent InriurttrlAl and shiDDlnar conditions of
Portland do not warrant the payment of a
cent more than the figures named, ana
also give proof that the wage is amply
remunerative for the character of work
undertaken. In view of the cost of living
In thin nort com.Da.red with the cost in
any othe- seaport of the country and all
other conditions attending the work on
the waterfront, the committee Is satisfied
that this wage Is. If anything, high In pro
portion to other labor and other conditions.
The advisory committee decided that the
community must forever protect itself
against recurrence of the destructive power
of an organization that pays no attention to
the Industrial needs of the community In a
time of depression like this, and has no sense
of gratitude or appreciation for the fact that
this community has been held up for the
highest wage of the Pacific Coast for nearly
two decades. A large number of Industrial
concerns that employ labor will not tolerate
300 or 400 longshoremen on the waterfront
by their diotates and regulations to stop the
wheel of Industry because they do not want
to handle, the goods that have been touched
by labor not to their liking.
Open Shop Demanded.
For these reasons the advisory committee
has decided to stand unconditionally on the
principle that the waterfront labor of this
community must handle the cargo orougnt
to It in the regular order of business without
undertaking to say who manufactured It or
where It was made or what class of labor
been in contact with It during tne period
of transDOrtatlon. This means an open shop
for labor on this waterfront, not a closed
shop, nor a ban against any class or group
of men who want to work for a living wage
nd in a lawful manner.
The advisory committee further declares
that this community cannot consider for an
instant the proposition of allowing the long
shore labor to go back to work under the
conditions that prevailed prior to Jnne 1
when they voluntarily quit. The conditions
prevailing prior to then have been partly
lnstrumen-al In strangling the commerce and
business of this port and, no matter wnat
efforts at compromise are made elsewhere.
will not be tolerated here again. All ship-
ping men. teamshlp operators and business
men are invited to stand with the Chamber
and the Employers Association In main
tainlng this principle.
Protect on Is Required.
In the matter of the protection of men
who want honest work at a wage on the
waterfront which this port can atrord to
nay. assurance has been given By a large
number of business men that adequate pro
tection must be had under any and all cir
cumstances. The principle of a small group
of dissatisfied men. who declare they will
not work at a wage deemed by tne com
munltv fair, preventing any others from
taking, up this work, cannot lie permitted lr
the Dowers of law ana oraer are aoie ig cope
with the situation. It Is absolutely clear
that aa abundance of men are ready to take
ut work on the waterfront If given protec
tton. and the -menace, rioting ana iiikh
of Interested parties and their sympathizers
that have occurred frequently of late must
ston.
Keen dissent is voicea irom every pari, vi
the business community against the authors
of the uresent disturbance, and the attack
upon water-borne commerce. The com
munlty needs the co-operation of every power
within Its control to recuperate from
period of business depression that Is serious.
Any element tnal la reaay tooay to tie u
the sawmills, the paper mills and other
employers of labor In a struggle that Is on
reasonable In Its nature must be regarded by
the business men of the oommunlty as
serious menace. To proteet the community
against any such practice as this, and ee
peclally against Its recurrence, the advisory
committee believes that all who have en
listed on the side of equality tor the Port.
for law and order, and for the right of
man to work for an honest wage wherever
he desires, should stand absolutely firm at
the present time regardless of any situation
that may develop In the California Issues.
