SHIP WORKERS WAIT
Conference in Washington on
Friday of Vital Interest.
CLOSED SHOP AT ISSUE
Builders of Wooden Vessels Ex
pected to Let Government Take
Over Plants if Demands of
Carpenters Are Enforced.
All Is quiet here pending the confer
etice at Washington between members
of the labor adjustment board of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, repre
sentatives of the Portland Metal Trades
Council and local steel shipbuilders.
The meeting of such great Importance
to the Industry Is scheduled to begin
at the National Capital next Friday
morning.
Saturday is the date upon which the
District Council of Carpenters has fixed
to apply the new schedule of wages
and rules outlined to the builders of
wooden ships here in a recent letter.
Included in the demands is the clause
for closed shop conditions as well as
an increase In the pay rate.
Closed shop demands by representa
tives of the Metal Trades Council are
also to be made at the conference at
Washington, as Joseph Reed and
James Morrison, the union delegates,
were instructed to make of that "a vital
Issue." Other features of the confer
ence will center around the increase in
wages sought for the several thousands
of men who work In the steel ship
building plants along the river.
It is generally believed that the con
ference at Washington will have a
direct bearing upon the demands that
have been made by the Council of Car
penters, as builders of wooden ships
will likely follow the action of the
steel builders In the matter of throw
ing the work over to the Federal offi
cials in case of any indications of real
strength on the part of the unions
affiliated with the council here. If
such should develop.
The Federal Government being direct
ly Interested in the building of wooden
ehips and the contracts providing for
Government control, it is probable that
the builders would prefer to let the
Government handle the situation In
case it should develop serious features.
The deepest interest attaches to the
outcome of the Washington conference,
for. It is pointed out. If the Govern
ment orders closed shop conditions for
Portland steel shipbuilding plants. It
will virtually mean the same thing for
the wooden shipbuilding establishments,
and the unions will have the field to
themselves, consequently every union
member In -Portland, whether affiliated
with the Metal Trades Council or the
District Council of Carpenters or not, is
watching the outcome with keen Inter
est. BIG MARINE PliANT STARTS
Pacific Has Smaller Machines Work
ing and Others Are to Begin.
Completion of a fill on the East Main
street property of the Pacific Iron
Works yesterday paves the way for
finishing the task of erecting build
ings and installing more plant. Smaller
machines have been operating for two
weeks, and larger ones can be worked
now.
Ballln watertube boilers are to be
built for new steamers now under waj
and under contract. Fred A. Ballin,
president of the company, says large
triple expansion engines are to be
built also, making the plant one of
the most Important in the district.
The property is 750 feet long, ex
tending from the harbor line to East
Water street, and has a width of 200
feet. Vessels will be shifted there
from different yards to have machin
ery installed. J. L. Jennings, until re
cently general superintendent of the

Yellow Stack Line Suspends This
Week and Will Be Idle 6 Weeks.
To guard against emergencies, even
though no service Is to be maintained,
the Yellow Stack line will keep the
steamer Oregona moored above the
Oregon City locks during the time re
pairs are under way in the canal. The
locks will be officially closed Septem
ber 19, and the company will have no
service up the river after September
16. It is estimated the locks will be
closed to navigation six weeks.
The company's schedule provides for
the steamer Grahamona leaving Port
land Saturday morning for Salem, and
she will leave there Sunday morning
and be tied up on her arrival here.
The steamer Oregona will leave Port
land Sunday for Yamhill River points,
returning Monday, and Tuesday she
will be sent to Oregon City to be tied

pensive. TANBARK SHIPMENT IN PORT

PRUNE CROP IS FAILURE
FRUIT
SHRIVELS ON TREES IX
CLARKE COUNTY.
Cannery Has Hard Time to Get Help
on Account of Late Season,
Schools Are Starting;.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Sept. 10. (Spe
cial.) While the rain of Friday and
Saturday did a great amount of good.
it arrived too late to help the famish
ing prune crop and as a result the pack
in Clarke County in 1917 will be only
a fraction of last years output.
One of the large growers of the
county yesterday said that he. had lost
approximately $15,000 on account of
the long drouth and that where he
should have had 100 tons of dried fruit.
he will not have more than 10 or 15
tons. This condition prevails In most
parts of the county, though there are
a few orchards, peculiarly situated, that
will have fair crops. One grower who
has had an orchard bearing for 21 years
said that he had never before known
prunes to dry out and shrivel up on the
trees as they had done this year.
The fruit this year is a month late
in ripening and as a result the local
cannery, employing BOO hands when
running full, is having a hard time to
get help, as schools are commencing,

116 SHIPS ORDERED
Oregon District Holds Many
Wooden Vessel Contracts.
MORE ORDERS EXPECTED
Builders Find Labor Situation Good.
Sheds Being Erected Along: Riv
erfront In Preparation for
Winter Work.
Including vessels for corporations
and individuals there are 116 wooden
carriers under contract in the state of
Oregon. Of the total 104 are either
under construction or to be built on
the Willamette and Columbia rivers.
Reports have been circulated of late
to the effect the state of Oregon held
65 contracts, which was said to include
steel as well as wooden ships. As a
matter of fact, there are 40 wooden
vessels building or contracted for in
the Portland district alone and more
than half as many steel steamers are
provided for.
Not all of the wooden vessels are
Government ships, by any means, nor
for other governments, yet the orders
from the American and allied coun
tries exceed the private contracts by
a good margin. In addition, some yards
are assured additional vessels other
than those for which they actually hold
contracts.
In spite of statements credited to
Admiral Capps, of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, that there would not be
more contracts allotted for wooden
steamers, several have since been
placed, and it Is known there are at
least two concerns here now negotiat
ing for the business.
At most of the new yards Winter
work Is being provided for in the erec
tion of mammoth sheds for the protec
tion of workmen and material, and at
others tarpaulins are being depended
on, the latter ' having been used last
Winter effectively.
As yet builders have not complained
of limited; labor, and believe that even
more men will be available when har
vest ends in all districts, that apply
ing to unskilled laborers, as experi
enced men have remained in town this
year to earn more attractive wages.
The matter of material is being well
taken care of in wooden yards, and un
less weather conditions are severe the
demand for ship timber will keep the
logging camps and mills humming un
til Spring.
ASSEMBLING YARD CHANGED
Greater Speed Expected In Erecting:
Frames of Shjps Hereafter.
Installation of a crane gear on the
outer dock at the Supple-Ballin Ship
building Corporation's property has
been undertaken to make an assembling
yard for timbers and such material.
One of the power saws has been shifted
on to a block south of the plant, where
frame material will be cut, it being
close to the stream, so delivery of tim
ber can be expedited. Another crane
will go in there.
Through the changes it is estimated
keel and frame material will be pre
pared in advance, so they can be put to
gether in less than two weeks. The
corporation is finishing vessels on the
ways to a greater extent than is usual
ly done, so when launched there will
be comparatively little remaining to
be attended to other than Install ma
chinery. Movements of Vessels. -
