San Francisco Union Accepts
Employers' Offer, According'
to Showing of Votes.
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.

TROOPER IS BETTER
Private Dunn Recovers Con
sciousness in Hospital.
ACCIDENT IS EXPLAINED
Man Is Best Itonghrider in Troop,
hut Horse Until Few Days Ago
Was Green Ground Is as
Hard as Paved Street.
BY WILL G. MACRAE.
CAMP BALBOA, San Diego, Aug. 20.
Trooper John J. Dunn, who was seri
ously Injured Saturday by being
thrown from a horse, regained con
sciousness today and was able to real
ize that he was in a hospital. The in
Jury to Trooper Dunn, while deeply
regrettej by every member of the
troop, did not deter the rest of the
tr 00 pens from requesting mounted
passes, and putting the green mounts
through their paces today. Trooper
Dunn was the best rough rider in
Troop A. He was reared in Eastern
Oregon, where his father owned a
large stock farm near Condon. He
rode the range several years before
moving to Portland with his parenbs,
who live at 623 Tillamook street.-
Private Dunn is the first member of
Troop A to receive a serious injury, al
though a large number have been
thrown or been kicked.
Ground Hard a Pavement.
The ground here at Camp Balboa is
sun baked and as hard as a paved
street, only the formation is more dan
gerous, because it Is full of small
stones and sharp gravel. The mount
that Trooper Dunn was riding at the
time of the accident was one of the
greenest horses on the picket line a
week ago. Yet, because he was a good
horseman. Trooper Dunn had succeed
ed in gentling the animal, until he was
able to ride him bareback. Dunn bad
taken hie mount off tha picket line to
give the animal half an hour school
ing before water call. He had ridden
back and forth several times in front
of the company street, when the horse
became frightened, and bolted for the
picket line.
The frightened animal swerved
sharply and the blanket roll and sur
cingle turned. In an effort to save
himself. Trooper Dunn clung to the
mane. Near the stable squad tent the
horse, going at top epeed, ' swirled
sharply again and Dunn was unseated.
In striking the ground he landed on
his feet, but the momentum threw him
and he struck the back of his head.
Aid la Given Promptly.
Lieutenant Wackrow and the troop
doctor. Captain Houck. witnessed the
accident japtain iiuulh. icnvo i-uc
wounded soldier first aid. The ambu
lance arrived in less than 10 minutes
and conveyed Dunn to the hospital a.
Fort Rosecrans. Of all the riders in
the troop, Dunn was the one that Cap
tain' White least expected would be in
jured. Fate was kind to those that
were the least familiar with horses.
Even the three new recruits got theirs.
Two of them had not been on duty two
hours before they were in the hospital
having bruises dressed.
Camp was visited today by several of
the citizen sailors who are taking the
cruise on the New Orleans.
Trooper Hyde Clarke, in private life
employed by the Underwriters' Equita
ble Bureau, has been appointed troop
musician. He succeeds Trooper Pea
body, who was made corporal.

STRAND BILL IS LIVELY
FOUR GOOD VAUDEVILLE ACTS AND
BLUE FEATHER DRAMA SHOWN.
Loef fler and Vernon Are Merry Comedl.
ana Two Olmateads Athletes.
Balcom and Sherman Chatter.
"Laugh and the world laughs with
you," say the merry comedians, Loef-
fler and Vernon, who headline a
bright. varied programme at the
Strand Theater this week. It doesn't
matter much to them whether the
world laughs or not; so long as the
audience does, for they keep things
on the general qui vive, and everyone
laughs at them and with-them. 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. Warren Kerrigan,
the matinee idol, in "The Beckoning
Trail," a five-part Blue Feather fea
ture drama. It tells the story of a
wild New York broker who goes to
the California mining country to seek
his fortune.
The two Olmsteads are muscular
wizards and are skillful in many ath
letic feats. The girl is quite as clever
as the man and her strength is unusual.
Their act is both novel and instructive.
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.
Chatter, song and Jokes by Balcom
and Sherman, a lively vaudeville pair,
bring applause and laughter from their
audience. Their act is a gay one with
dances and songs.

PROTEST IS WIRED
Chinese Accuse Secretary Wil
son of Unfairness.
CONSUL'S ACT DEFENDED
Cabinet Officer Said to Have En
couraged Insults to Merchants
and 6tudents Appeal Is
Sent to President.
SAN FRANCISCO. 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.
"We therefore appeal to you, the
chief executive, in whose broad wisdom
and human sympathy we have the ut
most confidence, to prevent the humili

Thousands of girls suffer in silence
