Refusal on the part of Balfour,
Outhrie & Co., owners of the Crown
flour mills, to permit longshore
men to truck flour on their dock
that was to be loaded aboard the
shipping board eteamer Eastern
Sailor .yesterday, resulted in the
union longshoremen calling: off the
gangs on that vessel in the morning,
but they "turned to" in the after
noon, while dockmen, regularly
employed at the flour mill, trucked
the flour.
Flour trucking was a leading
issue in the strike movement from
the start, the new schedule of the
waterfront Employers union pro
viding that trucking be done on
docks as trucking and at 70 cents
an hour, with 1.05 an hour over
time. The previous agreement with
the longshoremen's union provided
that trucking be done by longshore
men at SO cents an hour and $1.20
overtime, the same as longshore
work. It has been the contention
of employers that trucking Is not
done at the longshore scale at com.
petlng ports, and that the differ
ence in the scale was really another
discrimination against Portland port
.costs.
Other Millers Back Action.
When the shipping board entered
into a compact with the union,
following the Investigation of the
strike by the Oregon state board of
conciliation. It was stipulated that
longshoremen do trucking. The
union has contended that so long
as the cargo moving across the dock
was going directly aboard a vessel
it was properly work to be per
formed by them.
Employers hold they are not
averse to longshoremen doing truck
ing, but the trucking scale and the
stand taken by Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., it is understood, will be adhered
to by other millers. Balfour, Guth
rie & Co. have Mersey dock ae well
as the Crown property, while Kerr,
Gifford & Co. have the Kerr mill,
Albina dock, Columbia dock and' the
Globe mill, with the Portland Flour
ing Mills company controlling that
plant as well as the elevator dock.
The developments yesterday were
taken to indicate that there will be
a united stand against flour truck
ing by longshoremen.
Contracts Are Cited.
It was pointed out that contracts
are made for the delivery of cargo
at ship's tackle, which is at a point
on the dock where loading can be
done with the sear. of the vessel or
where the carso can be taken by
longshoremen for loading- into the
hold by means of chutes. Regard
less of any agreement between the
union longshoremen and the ship
ping board, employers insist the
government has no control over the
movement of their merchandise be
tween ship's tackle and any place on
the dock, or vice versa.
There were no policemen guard
ing the auto trucks which trans
ported a party of men from new
mo I. W. W. hall at Second and
Washington streets Tuesday to the
docks, where they were said to have
reen employed as strikebreakers.
xnij statement was made yesterday
oy cnier Jenkins following the
rigm investigation requested by
mayor jaKer.
Patrolman Meacham, who was in
charge of si patrolmen engaged
in guarding vehicles transporting
strikebreakers, submitted a report
to the chief that neither he nor
any or his fellow officers had
guarded any truck leaving the
I. W. W. hall. The longshoremen's
union reported several days ago that
police were protecting members of
tne I. w. W. employed on the. docks
but the chiefs report indicates that
tne report is a mistake.
Non-Union Worker Beaten.
Jonn Beckel, a non-union dock
worker living at 162 Boones Ferry
road, was severely beaten about the
head and body yesterday by two
unidentified assailants, believed to
nave peen strikers, as he was korfl
ing a Fulton street car at Pendleton
street.

Btreet car and roughly handled, an

Auto Salesman, Who Predicted
Freedom at Police Station,
Is Assessed $25.
i
As a prophet gam Little, automo
bile salesman, was almost right
Wednesday night when he boasted
to police who arrested him:
"It won't do you anygood to take
me down there because I'll get out
of It." ' .
Little was arrested on a charge of
driving an automobile while under
the influence of liquor. The arrest
ing officers testified that Little and
companion drove up in Little's
machine to a bootlegging establish
ment near Twelfth .and Morrison
streets during- the progress of a
liquor raid.
The police never saw Little actu
ally driving the car but the officers
testified that both Little and his
companion admitted to them at the
time of the arrest that Little was
the man at the wheel.
But Little failed by a narrow mar
gin to make good on his boast.
Judge Ekwall fined him $25. His
attorney, Walter Critchlow. was so
nonplussed lit the fine that he drew
out his fountain pen and insisted on
paying it himself.
Captain Archie Pease met a far
different fate. He was entertaining
some relatives and a few friends in
his home' at Rose City Park when
police swooped down on him and ar
rested him for violating the prohibi
tion law. The party had liquid re
freshments consisting of whisky,
wine and home brew.
As a damper on future liquor par
ties in private homes the court as
sessed a fine of J100.

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 8.
Hearings on the resolution which
would authorise, under emergency
conditions, such as are alleged to
exist today, the immigration of
orientals into Hawaii, without re
gard to present laws, were con
cluded Wednesday by the senate
irimigration committee, which will
render a report as soon as the tes
timony is printed.
Hope of Americanizing the Jap
anese in Hawaii Is entirely futile,
according to Walter F. Dillingham
of Hawaii, who said the Japanese
in the islands number four times
as many as any other nationality.
He qJBted Japanese figures to show
the activity of Japanese officials In
maintaining solidarity among their
nationals in Hawaii, and declared
that Japanese there who did not
patronize their own people and in
dustries were considered traitors.
Effort Held Futile.
Senator" Johnson of California,
stated that the problem offerred
the Hawaiians of assimilating the
Japanese, did not materially differ
from the experience in California,
where the number of aliens was
proportionately much smaller. In
his opinion it could not be dpne.
An analysis of the industries of
the islands was given by Mr. Dill
ingham to show the extent .to which
the Japanese have obtained eco
nomic control. In many indust? ies
Japanese have complete monopolies,
the witness said.
The request for permission ti
bring the labor to the island is not
based on -any desire to reduce the
standard of labor there, Mr. Dilling
ham asserted, an'd he denied that
American labor in the islands was
represented by the American Fed
eration of Labor. Petitions in favor
of the proposed legislation were
filed with the committee, one bear
ing signatures of 2000 skilled me
chanics, another containing signa
tures of 17,738 of the 26,000 regis
tered voters.
Labor Protection Aim.
Mr. Dillingham's criticism that
the representatives of the labor or
ganizations have financed and in
fluenced the Japanese brought from
Edgar Wallace of the American Fed
eration of Labor the statement that
labor organization interests in the
resolution are not based alone upon
its desire to protect labor in Hawaii,
but more particularly upon its de
sire to protect labor in the United
States from the competition of
coolie labor in the island and to pre
vent the enactment of what is con
sidered the entering wede-n to hrsir
down present exclusion laws.
Although special efforts have been
made to obtain more labor from the
Philippines, the present labor short
age is 25 per cent, Mr. Dillingham
said.- Oriental labor alone is suit
able for the sugar plantation, he
added, and with Japanese eliminated
it is necessary to look to China for
labor needed.
