Huge piles of freight which have been con gesting San Francisco's docks and get ting bigger and bigger each day since the longshoremen and steamboatmen went on strike June 1 began to dimin ish In size today, when the men re turned to work. On almost every dock, with the ex ception of those used by lumber boats, longshoremen, who went out demand ing higher wages and the closed shop, were back at work today under the old conditions, pending arbitration of their demands. In many cases they found themselves working alongside of nonunion men, but by night most of the strikebreakers were gone. On two docks the nonunionists marched out In a body at noon, declaring they would not labor by the side of the for mer strikers. The longshoremen who formerly worked on the lumber docks were still out today, their employers having rc fused to grant them temporary con cessions pending arbitration. Union leaders . expected the lumber workers would be working in a few days. Passenger steamboats also began to ply back and forth between San Fran cisco and the ports of the bay and the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers today, when the boatmen returned un der the old conditions, after having walked out on a second strike yester day The law-and-order committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which had par tial control of the employers" end of the bay and river strike, issued a state ment today declaring that union men would be taken back on all boats which had been tied to the docks, but that no nonunion men would be dis charged from the boats being operated to make room for the union men. The strikers, the statement said, would have to await their turn for jobs. STEAMERS RUN AGAIN COLUMBIA CURRENT PERMITS RE SUMPTION OF SAILINGS. Several Boata Started for Lewiston -With Partial Loads and Bailey Gatzert In Service. Steamboat service was resumed yes- l terday between Portland and Lewiston, The Dalles-Columbia' line sending out three vessels last night, while another cargo goes tonight, and there will be a steamer at least every eight days here after.

Uneasiness relative to the rivers and harbors appropriations not being made available, which is understood at Port land to be attributable to the delay In President Wilson affixing his signature, prompted the Chamber of Commerce to telegraph an urgent request yesterday to Senator Chamberlain that he ascer tain the status of the matter, obtain ing quick action if possible. Since the river is falling, it is desired to prepare for resuming channel work as soon as the stage of water permits. Xtefore undertaking preliminary labors, it is hoped to have definite assurance that funds are at hand.

The ice broke up early in June and the famous vessel departed from Bethel, on the Kuskokiwim, July 8.

It is planned also to ask for an Injunction to restrain the state officers from further distribution until a proper system may be deter mined on. According to the law, the attorneys say, suit cannot be brought against the state, although the state can readily bring suit against any of its officers. The introduction of a bill in the Legis lature providing for a distribution of funds in' the various counties in pro portion to the amount of lumber cut each year, would he the next step, Mr. Godwin and Mr. Packwood agree.

INJUNCTION SERVED OH DOCK STRIKERS Order "Ridiculous," Says Rob ert Orr, Business Agent 5f Union No. 5. POLICY PEACEFUL, HE SAYS New Pressure at San Francisco Is Talked, it Portland Employers Insist on Open Shop Great Northern Sails South. Until the return this afternoon from San Francisco of J. A. Madsen, secre tary-treasurer of the Pacific Coast dis trict. International Longshoremen's As sociation; Jack Mahr, representative of the Portland longshoremen on the ex ecutive committee, and Charles Ben nett, a committeeman from the River Steamboatmen's Union, matters per taining; to the strike that began June 1 will be held In abeyance, so far as the union men are concerned. Four officers of the unions were served with copies of a petition of the San Francisco A Portland Steamship Company and of the order of Judge Wolverton, of the Federal Court, which restrains them and other officers and 11 members of the two unions from picketing near the company's dock and interfering with persons in its employ until the hearing to determine whether a permanent Injunction, shall issue. which -is set for 2 o'clock Monday. Talons Declared Peaceful. J.. L. Johnston, president, and Robert Orr, business agent, of Union No. 6, were served; also M. P. Cannon, presi dent, and A. E. Barbes, business agent. of Union Po. 6. C. P. Holgate, secre tary of No. 5, and P. TV'ard, secretary of No. 6, were not at the headquarters of their organizations at the time, and J. A. Madsen, also named specifically in the order, was not in the city. "Ridiculous," was the reply of Rob ert Orr, business agent of No. S, which union attended to cargo of the San Francisco & Portland line in the past, when asked as to his opinion of the in junction. "Our policy is one of peace; it has been and will be," he said. No later than today five men left the nonunion crew on Ainsworth dock and came to headquarters, saying they had quit- Mr. Johnston and myself accompanied them back to the dock, and they ob tained their money. We went simply to show them they were In no danger from members of the unions. These men said they had come from Hood River and worked two days there. A. E. Barnes, business agent of Union No. 6, said he did not understand why that union had been included in the temporary order. Sew Pressure Is Possible. "On voting to return to work here we acted on the belief that we were to receive the same consideration as was accorded the San Francisco longshore men," he said. "The vote was to re turn under the conditions prevailing prior to June 1, which included closed shop. Vessels we have discharged and loaded since then were handled by firms on. our fair list and they paid the scale that was proposed." There was taJk yesterday that in sistance by Portland employers for open shop would probably result in the unions bringing pressure to bear at San Francisco to have those men walk out again. All were reported working there yesterday on general cargo ves sels. Portland's waterfront was undis turbed yesterday. The steamer Rose City worked with nonunion men it docKs below the bridges during the day. returning last night to her berth at Ainsworth dock. The McCormick steamer Wapama was engaged in load ing lumber at the West Oregon mill, Linnton, and will continue in that vi cinity today, millhands delivering lum ber aboard where it is stowed by the union sailors. The regular union long shoremen loaded the steamer Break water, at Columbia dock, her owners, the North Pacific Steamship Company, having- been on the fair list of the j unions from the start, when they au thorized the payment of the new scale and agreed to abide by amended work ing rules. Acceptance of the proposal of the Astoria union longshoremen to return to work at the scale and working rules effective before the strike, which also means closed shop, was made yester day by the Great Northern Pacific Steamship Company so the liner Great Northern got away from the Flavel dock with about 100 tons of cargo and the Northern Pacific from San Fran cisco with 437 tons. The former car ried 204 passengers and on the North ern Pacific, due today, are 140 pas sengers. While the company was included with the lines when the firat walkout took place June 1, the men returned to work there under the truce, but on the second walkout, which wa directed against members of the Waterfront Employers' Union in retaliation for hir ing armed nonunion men, the company remained on the fair list, inasmuch as it was not a member of the association, yet it was decided T.ot to handle freight while the walkout was on. MUNITIONS CARGO STILL HELD v Schooner Annie Larson, Which Car ried Supplies, in Grays Harbor. ABERDEEN, Wash., July 20. (Spe cial.) The arrival of the schooner Annie Larsen here this week recalls that the cargo of ammunition and rifles confiscated from that ship upon her arrival here July 3, 1915, i still in a warehouse here, for which the Govern ment pays $40 a month rent. As far as known no efforts have been or are being made to dispose of the munitions, which, it is believed, were originally intended for the use of revolutionists in India.

The vessel will have a number of passen gers and full cargo. The steamer F. A. Kllburn. her fleet mate, is due in the harbor Monday and is to be dispatched on the return Wednesday, but goes to San Francisco instead of covering the usual route as far as San Diego.

RISE ASKED OX CHINOOK Deck and Engineer Officers Petition for New Coast Scale. In line with advances in wages granted mates and engineers on steam ers along the Pacific Coast, officers ,of the Government dredge Chinook have petitioned Major Jewett, Corps of Engi neers. U. S. A., that th,r salaries be added to in conformity with the new scale. It Is said the step can be taken only on presentation of the facta to the chief of engineers at Washington, accom panied by the recommendation of the district officer. One argument in favor of granting the rise, other than that it gives the men the prevailing scale, is that the Chinook operates only part of the year and the men are not assured steady employment. When tied up a small part of the crew, with the master and chief engineer, are retained. News From Northwest Ports. ASTORIA. Or.. July 20. (Special.)
