PUBLIC HELD INTERESTED tTnion Policy Declared "Rnle or Ruin," as Jfo Consideration" Is Given Welfare of Nonunion Men or Next Generation. PORTLAND, Or.. Feb. 20. (To the Editor.) The present strike that Is be ing engineered by the Metal Trades Council against the shipbuilding indus try of Portland Is of special concern to the public. I believe, the general public will admit, as soon as they have given the subject any consideration, that the outcome of this disturbance is some thing in -which all the community is Interested property owners as well as merchants and professional men. Shipbuilding Is the first direct bene fit that the Northwest has received through the war conditions and it has opened the way to the employment of tnousands of men and the disbursement weekly of many thousands of dollars. In the case of wood shipbuilding, the bulk of the disbursements stay in the community. Lumber Indnstry Benefits. ' The Columbia Engineering Works, against which the last strike was in augurated, happens to be building wooden ships exclusively, and in so doing they are benefiting, to the ex tent of their purchases, the lumber industry of this section: which Indus try represents fully 50 per cent of the trade of the Northwest. The .lumber business has been very much hampered einoe the war from the lack of ships with which to export it and from car shortage to carry It East, consequently the amount consumed by the ship building, although relatively small, is a decided help at this time. The trouble at the Columbia Engi neering Works was not on account of unsatisfactory working conditions or wages. None of the employes in the machine shop or In the shipyard reg istered any complaint In regard to con ditions under which they were em ployed. They were working on an eight-hour a day basis with full pay and undr reasonable treatment; in fact, so far as I know, there has been nothing but good will between our employes and the executive force un til the Metal Trades Council stepped in and through their representative, John Reid, demanded that we employ none but union men, which would of course put the officials ft the union practically in control of our business. It is certainly an unreasonable objec tive upon their part and. a condition under which we could not profitably operate. ."Rule or Ruin" Declared Motto. The shipbuilding industry, I think everyone will admit, is of general bene fit to the community. It Is finding a new and rich market from which to bring new money Into the commun ity for the benefit of all. but it Is ap parently a matter of Indifference to the Metal Trades Council whether or not the industry prospers if they cannot dictate "rule or ruin" is their motto. In fact, it is presumably no exaggera tion to say that a large percentage of the carpenters, calkers, etc., are not particularly Interested in Portland's prosperity. They would as soon go to Grays Harbor, or any other place, pro vided they could get employment under the conditions that thejf dictate. The construction of a ship takes from six months to a year, according to its size. In order to get a contract to build a ship, one has to name a def lnite price and an approximate date of delivery. I ask the general public to put themselves in our position and ask how they can reasonably expect .any shipbuilder to name a price without having some idea of what the labor cost would be, especially as the item of labor will amount to more than all the material. We estimate labor on the basis of 10 per cent above the then current prices, expecting some advance. If laborr cost can be arbitrarily ad vanced from time to time by the union with a threat that if their demands are not acceded to they will all withdraw and prevent other help taking their places, where is the manufacturer likely to land in regard to profit, and what possible inducement is there for anyone to continue the business? In efficiency through a spirit of non-re sponsibility often increases the labor cost without an advance in wages. Lack of Consideration Noted. A few days ago the calkers demanded JS a day. We expressed a willingness to pay the $6 a day and said we would make it $6.50 a day if they would al low us to furnish each calker with a. helper (at our expense) so as to ex pedite the work and at the same time get some others educated to the bust ness, but they refused. The rule of the union is to have as few learn as pos sible so as- to produce a short supply. which is a combination in restraint of trade, a crime on the part of cap ital, but of course quite different with labor. The union man is always asking for public sympathy as a poor, down trodden individual, but he never ex pends any sympathy on nonunion workmen or upon the coming genera tion. which is likely to have a hard time earning a living, because in a large measure they are to be kept out of a trade through the union's rule of limiting the number of apprentices. TThe basis upon which labor organiza tions are managed seems absolutely selfish and heartless towards the bulk of mankind. There is a scarcity .of ship carpen - .ers. so .we employed quite a large per centage of house carpenters, who, with training, are capable of dojng the work of ship carpenters. We pay the house carpenters more wages than their call ing demands and are giving them steady employment, which they did not enjoy before, and as they show pro ficiency In ship carpentry we advance their wages. Our experience is that in a very short time, many of them, at portions of the work, become better than the average of ship carpenters and are entitled to nearly as much pay as a full-fledged ship carpenter, but in this instance the wage question has not been the bone of contention. It is only recognition of the union. Pay Governed by Ability. It is our belief that men should be paid according to their skill and the amount of work they do, rather than for their pose as a master of any par ticular trade. It is the personal worth that counts, wberers the result from trade unionism is to pay the poor man more than be is worth and the good nan less. My reputation in this community, as an employer of ' labor for a good many years. I think Is such that it can not with any justification be claimed that I am a grinding taskmaster or an exploiter of the laborers. I hope the public will appreciate on which side . Its bread is buttered and, consequently, yriU Insist upon, fair play for the capi- . fraJists that hav ventured, on this new line of business as well as for the laborers that do not think it necessary to contribute towards the support of union whose frequent effort is to force the laborer to lose time on sym pathetic strikes which are not based on any real grievance, and this is now being done in a line where there is work for all that are fitted for it. If it were not for the fear and un certainty from labor troubles, we would double the capacity of our shipbuilding. and I believe others would do like wise. Is not the community injured by this check upon enterprise. Remem ber, this particular line is bringing in money from outside sources and the disbursement here ramifies into all trades. So far the unions have con ducted themselves in a reasonable way and towards the executives of our company have been very civil. All discussions have been of a friendly na ture, if antagonistic fromioint of view. AS infl nuuiucr our m creases the picketers begin to show a more restive and abusive disposition, but we trust no overt act will occur. . S. M. MEARS. STRIKE BEING OVERCOME A. Sf. MEARS SATS MAST ARE AP PLYING FOR WORK. Attempt to . Take Snapshot of Picketers Starts Unpleasantness, but Police Step In. The situation at the Columbia Engi neering Works is Improving and more new men are being added steadily, ac cording to A. M. Mears, manager of the plant. . - Since the strike was called ten days ago among workmen at the machine and boiler shops and on Saturday at the shipyard, the company has more than two-thirds of a normal force at work. "We are getting along nicely now," said Mr. Mears last night. "The new men are giving satisfaction. We are getting plenty of applicants for work and when we Install new macninery. which will be here any day, we will have a much bigger force at work. Picketing is being maintained by the strikers both at the Columbia Engi neering Works and the Portland Boiler Works. All of the regular employes at the Portland Boiler Works are working. but strikers from the Willamette Iron & Steel Works are picketing the boiler works. Tom M. Monks, manager of the Port land Boiler Works, attempted to take a snapshot of picketers yesterday. One of the strikers is said to have threat ened to throw a rock at him and another plcketer smeared mud over his camera. Police were summoned to the plant but no arrests were made. ROSE CITY HEAVILY LADEN Steamer Brings Weighty Shipments From Bear' State Ports. ' '- - With 2000 tons of cargo, made up largely of heavy shipments of sugar, salt and the like, the liner Rose City, Captain Rankin, passed into the Co lumbia River from California ports at 5:15 o'clock yesterday, and will begin discharging here this morning. It is one of the largest loads the Rose City has brought north in point of deadweight, and means big stocks are being drawn from the south for the season. The vessel will be fully loaded southbound. Northbound cargo is only being handled by the liners these days, the lumber vessels being so busy moving material to California at high nates that general cargo busi ness is not rated sufficiently attractive for them to give time to loading and discharging. CHINA LCiB JTO COME NORTH When Tonnage "Is Added Oriental Service Will Be Extended Here. In private correspondence received here this week is information that the China Mail Steamship Company which operates the liner China, formerly in the Pacific Mail trans-Pacific fleet, is yet considering making this city a regular port of call. The line is backed by influential Chi nese, and when the China was taken over it. was assumed other vessels of a desired type could be obtained to op erate as fleetmates, but up to the pres ent negotiations have not oeen success ful. It is understood that to expand the present service, which is between the Golden Gate arid the Orient, more carriers must be added and the plan then will be for a triangle service on this side between Honolulu, Portland and San Francisco, the vessels pro ceeding from the latter port to the orient, via the Hawaiian Group, and on the return make the run north to the river from there. Representatives of the line were here not long ago and the situation was thoroughly covered. Marconi Wireless Reports. (All positions reported At s P. M.. Feb ruaray 20, unless otherwise designated.)

SEVERAL TRACTS IN VIEW Trackage Facilities Are Required, as Well as Waterfrontage, but In- terest of Public Is to Be Safe guarded in Selection., In the consideration of steps for. a grain elevator site, the Commission' of Public Docks does not Intend to pin to any single location. It Is under stood that options will probably be obtained on more than one tract and that selected must be desirable both as to price and location. It was 'talked along the. waterfront yaeterday - that an effort was being made to control certain land under op tions to Individuals, who in turn would make an offer to the Commission. Charles B. Moores, chairman of the Commission, indicated that the mem bers would not worry about obtaining ground for the elevator and that plans were being considered through which it was felt certain the public Interest would be safeguarded. In a general way trackage facilities, as well as desirable waterfrontage, must figure in the consideration of property, but it Is not Imperative that the elevator be in the heart of the har bor or that it be close to public docks, as it will be, an independent adjunct to the facilities now maintained, though under the control of the Commission. The whole matter is to be submitted at the June election, and the plan is to take care of the enterprise through a bond issue. ,Frora one end of the Northwest to the other the 'grain ele vator subject and bulk handling ad vantages have been threshed out since January 1, and there appears no ques tion but that a preponderance of senti ment Is for bulk handling, which means elevator facilities. At Portland the situation is more important than elsewhere, inasmuch as It is regarded certain that adequate elevator and flat warehouse storage must be provided in advance of a re turn of normal conditions, otherwise the shipment of the cereal crop by water again means it will pass through other ports where elevators are "now ready. Careful estimates are to be prepared touching every phase of the elevator development here, and the plant will probably be so constructed that units may be added economically as the vol ume of business demands. IiEGISIiATIOX AFFECTS PORT Matters Disposed of at Salem Being Gone Over by Portland Bodies. Since the Legislature is now history. Portlanders interested in shipping laws and changes enacted by that body are beginning to size up the situation. The principal matters scanned are the rain standard law, extending powers of the Port of Portland Commission, appointing George H. Kelly, of thia city, a member of that board to suc ceed Alfred Tucker, and the change In the state pilot act, through which the bonds of pilots have been reduced from $5000 to $3000. The Commission of Public Docks Im mediately will arrange to place before the voters in June the plan for a grain elevator and warehouse, in connection with which the grain standard law is to prove of great assistance. The Port authorities will take up later the mat ter of extending its responsibilities, Mr. Kelly will be seated at the next meeting', March 8, before which he will have received his credentials and tak en the oath of office. As to the Pilot bonds, they -will be changed when the law becomes operative. , Pacific Coast, Shipping Xotes. KAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 20.
