SAFE MAJORITY ASSURED Leaders Declare Closed-Shop Princi ple Has Been Accepted on Wa terfront Large Part of In crease Is Granted. BAN FRANCISO0. Augf. 20 The local Riggers' and Longshoremen's Union, which struck June 1 for higher wages and the adoption of the closed-shop principle and later returned to work pending arbitration, has accepted the compromise offer made recently by the1 Waterfront Employers' Union. It was announced here today. Practically all the members have voted and a safe ma jority favored acceptance. The agreement gives the men nearly everything they struck for, according to union leaders. Longshoremen on deep-sea vessels will receive 65 cents an hour for straight time and $1 for overtime. On coastwise ships they will get 66 cents and 824 cents. Before the strike they received 60 cents and 75 cents and struck for 65 cents and $1. Union leaders declare the employers agreed to adopt the closed-shop prin ciple on the San Francisco waterfront. SAN PEDRO, Cal., Aug. 20. Members of the local longshoremen's union said tonight that the acceptance of a com promise offer by the San Francisco union would not affect the situation here in any manner. The longeshore men here still are on strike, although the lumbermen returned to work re cently. . Representatives of the San Pedro Stevedores' Union went to San Fran cisco a few weeks ago to participate In the conference with employers, but they were not permitted to take part, as they had declined to return to work pending arbitration. After the union officials returned from San Francisco they offered to go back to work, it was said, but employ era here made no reply to them. SEATTLE UMOXS MAY BENEFIT Longshoremen's Leader Says Strike Settlement Is Aided. SEATTLE, Aug. 20. The reported settlement of the dispute between waterfront employers and longshore men in San Francisco will have na di rect effect on the action of the strik ing longshoremen in Seattle, but may Indirectly aid in the fight for in creased wages and the closed shop here and along the Coast, according to David Madison, chairman of the local strike committee. "It Is my personal opinion," said Mr. Madison tonight, "that the em ployers have Just been waiting to hear what San Francisco will do before con tinuing negotiations here. Now, with the trouble settled there, I think they will be much readier to come to terms, as they will want to keep from throw ing trade in San Francisco's direc tion. "And they will throw it there, too, if this keeps up. Owners and ship pers are getting pretty well disgusted with the way the nonunion men are handling cargoes." There is no present indication of a change of attitude on the part of the employers, who have put themselves on record as unalterably opposed to the closed shop. ' SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 20. Offi cials of the Longshoremen's Union here said tonight that they were await ing word from J. J. Foley, president of the Pacific Coast Division of the International Longshoremen's Union, regarding the strike situation as it af fects this port. It is expected Ihe men will resume work under the same scale of wages as that which now pre vails at San Francisco. PORTLAND MOVE INDICATED . Iiongslioremen Won't Talk; Closed Shop May Be Hitch. The successful compromise between toe longshoremen and waterfront em ployers in San Francisco, it is believed, will result in further negotiations be ing tai:en up here between the strik ers and employers with a view to bringing about an agreemnt on some similar basis. Longshoremen leaders last night declined to discuss the mat ter, although admitting they had re ceived advices telling of the compro mise. C. P. Holgate. secretary of Union No. B, admitted that "there is something in the wind," but declined to say just what steps the longshoremen will take. It is considered likely, however, that the longshoremen will take some defi nite action today in an effort to meet with the employers on some basis. The waterfrout employers and the Chamber of Commerce here are known to be holding out for 60 cents an hour, find not over 75 cents an hour over time, and for no agreement except upon the open-shop basis. George Hardy, executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, said last night that in his opinion the inclina tion of that body would be to stand pat on, its original announced schedule of 50 cents straight time and 75 cents overtime. . ''We paid the highest longshore rate on the Coast for a number of years, and it won't hurt some one else to do it for a time now," he said. "I don think the agreement there will have any influence on negotiations here." 1 BOUND STRIKE IS UNAFFECTED Longshoremen Believe San Francisco Plan Would Be Accepted. TACOMA, Wash.. Aug. 20. Local members of the Longshoremen's Asso ciation say the settlement of the strike at San Francisco, as announced today, will have no direct effect on the situ ation at Tacoma and other Puget Sound ports, unless it results in the Employ ers' Association of the Sound submit ting a similar offer. While the union officials here said acceptance of such an offer would rest entirely with the members themselves, it is believed that the strike on the Sound can be settled under similar agreement. On the other hand, the Em ployers' Association has said it would not consider settling on the closed shop plan. Two Injured in Collision.

Both are good singers. Miss Vernon is pretty and their jokes are new. Besides the four good vaudeville acts, there's a good movie at the Strand starring J.

Esther Sundquist. a young Portland violinist with a good repertoire and splendid technic and expression, is an interesting feature on the Strand bill. Miss Sundquist has appeared often in the East and in local affairs and is an attractive and talented young musician who is proving particularly popular in this appearance.

Aug. 20 The Chin ese Consolidated Benevolent Associa tion, better known as the Chinese Six Companies, the organization that repre sents Chinese In America, sent a tele graphic protest tonight to President Wilson asking him to prevent the re moval from San Francisco of Chinese Consul-General Shu Shan-Chin. Offi cials of the Six Companies declared that the Consul's recall had been requested by Secretary of Labor Wilson. The charge against him. it was said, was activity in protesting against the "in tolerable delays and exactions of the Immigration service in landing mer chants and other members of the ex empt class at this port." The telegram was as follows: "Through a source of unimpeachable authority we are informed that the Secretary of Labor has asked the Sec retary of State to bring about the re moval of the Consul-Gene ral of China at San Francisco. Against this un friendly and unjustifiable act we sol emnly protest, and we appeal to you to prevent its consummation. Humane Enforcement Asked. "The offense charged against the Consul-General Is that of having pro tested against the intolerable delays and exactions of the immigration serv ice In landing merchants and other members of the exempt class at this port. "We have long since recognized and accepted the fact that the exclusion act is a part of the economic problem of thin ooi.ntry. All we ask is its humane enforcement. "Under the exclusion act our bankers, merchants and students have the right to enter this country under certain de fined restrictions. The countless wrongs to which the immigration service has subjected these exempt classes we have endeavored on many occasions to re move by respectful protests, but with out effect. "Our merchant princes who come here prepared to throw open to the United States the rich and inexhaustible stores of Oriental trade and commerce through Pacific Coast ports are, on their arrival, herded in a detention shed; their wives are held in custody during weeks and often months of investigation instead of being landed under unquestioned bonds, as humanity, demands. Crou Delays Are Charged. "Students who seek nothing but an opportunity to learn the English lan guage" as a means to advancing the friendliness and trade of the two coun tries, and even American-born Chinese, are kept in the immigration station for months with their cases untried. "Against these abuses the Consul re spectfully directed a protest, and sub mitted scores of cases involving depart mental delay of the grossest nature. The only answer he has received is an Intimation of his removal from an of fice where he has conducted himself with dignity on the part of our people and courtesy toward the United States. "We respectfully declare that the De partment of Labor Is attempting to de stroy the effectiveness of the consul at this port and to intimidate any luture consul from asserting the sacred rights of his countrymen by charging that he Is undiplomatic.
