14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1922 LARGE HOLE F01D II IE OE DREDGE Deck of Portland Is Raised Above Water. REPAIRS ARE UNLIKELY Craft Sunk by Pacific Mail Ship Santa Clara Will Be Exam ined Asa ill Today. About amidships on the port side of the dredge Portland is a i hole in the hull about 12 feet long and 6 feet deep, bored when the dredge was sunk by the Pacific Mail freighter Santa Clara October 14, when working in the east channel at Swan island. That was ascer tained yesterday when the dredge was raised so the deck was above the surface of the river. Unoffici ally it is understood Port of Port land officials maintain their original attitude that for practical purposes the Portland is a total loss. . The Portland was moved to the west side of the Bridgeport dock "Wednesday, and yesterday after noon an effort was being made to get the hull inshore as far as pos sible so she could rest on a shoal. An inspection is to be made again this afternoon, It being expected that the hull will be higher out of water. Should it be concluded to put a soft patch over the break so the hull can be pumped free of water and the salvage of the ma chinery thereby aided, it is expected to discontinue the use of two dry dock pontoons with which she was raised. When salvage operations were commenced the superstructure of the Portland was torn away,' both to aid in floating her as well as to ifacilitate the search for bodies of. three men lost when she was sunk. The apparent damage to the hull, also the probability that it is strained considerably, is held to be against any plan for permanent re pairs and, it is pointed out, work that would be entailed in the res toration of the machinery might cost more than the salvage Virould yield. Regardless of the final conclu sion on the part of port officials as to the disposition of the Port land, legal steps for damages were taken following the accident through libel proceedings against the Santa Clara. Much of the de tail involved perhaps will be re viewed at the hearing Monday morn ing of Captain S. S. Dalby, pilot of the vessel, when it is indicated both sides will be represented by counsel. FREIGHTER TAKES APPLES 85,000 Boxes to Leave Port on Steamer Nebraska."

To Waterfront Employes an Following; the publication of the Neutral Hall Rules and Regulations gov erning Employment, the I. L. A., Local No. 38-6, held a special meeting October 9th and adopted the following resolution: , "WHEREAS, The Manager of the Neutral Hiring Hall has promulgated a new set of working rules effective October 5th, and final close of registration October 12th, and "WHEREAS, These working rules are contrary to terms of settlement between the Waterfront Employers' Union and the Longshoremen's Local No. 38-6, I. L. A. and as our membership has unqualifiedly rejected said rules and working conditions, "Be it, therefore, RESOLVED, by Local No. 38-6 I. L. A. in extraordinary session assembled this 9th day of October, 1522, that we refuse to work under the rules prescribed and will not accept employment upon terms arbitrarily adopted against our protest, and "Be it further RESOLVED, That our committee be and hereby is instructed to immediately present our protest to the Waterfront Employers' Union and in doing so said committee are hereby instructed that we, as Longshoremen, will not submit to any part of the rules presented." This resolution was attached to a letter of the same date addressed to the mem bers of the Waterfront Employers' Union signed by Mr. McGivern, President, and Herman Larsen, Secretary of Longshoremen's Union, Local No. 38-6, I. L. A. The charge was made that the Neutral HaU had not been conducted in accordance with the settlement of June 22d. A further charge was made that Messrs. parnes and Buchtmann, who had both had long years of experience in the kind of work assigned to them and who had been members of the Longshoremen's Union for many years, were distasteful to the Union men, as they objected to being ordered and picked by gunmen. The direct charge was made that Messrs. Buchtmann and Barnes were members of the Union and accepted their positions in the hall without sanction of the Union, also that there was no necessity of any more despatchers. Our answer is to refer you to Mr. Herman Larsen's credentials issued by the I. L. A., Local No. 3S-6, dated September 21st and presented to the Neutral HaU Managing Committee as his au thority to represent the Longshoremen's Union as a member of that Committee, and to the proceedings of the meeting of the Neutral Hall Managing Committee held Sep tembr 22d, signed by Mr. Larsen, agreeing to the employment of the extra despatch ers and the selection of Messrs. Barnes and Buchtmann as the despatchers for Union men. Both of these documents were printed in full in our announcement No. 2 pub lished November 1st. There has been considerable mention made by the strikers of "gunmen" being employed in the Neutral Hall. There are no gunmen in the Neutral Hall. It was and is necessary for the protection of the men working out of the Hall and for the pro tection of stevedore and ship-lining companies who pay off at the Hall each week to deputize the despatchers. This was only done after threats of violence had been received by the despatchers and after the I. V. W. and radical members of the Long shoremen's Union had caused trouble and discontent among the longshoremen, some troublemakers coming into the hall in a drunken condition. We most certainly owe it to the longshoremen and the employing companies to give them adequate protec tion at the hall, especially on pay days, when we are faced with conditions such as these. The communication of the Longshoremen's .Union, Local No. 38-6, I. L. A., dated October 9th was considered at a special meeting of the Waterfront Employ ers' Union, attended by practically our entire membership,, on October 11th. The administration of the Neutral Hall, all correspondence relating to any negotiations whatsoever with the Longshoremen's Union and all other records pertaining to the work were carefully investigated. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that the Hall had been conducted in strict 'accordance with the strike settlement basis of June 22d and the charges made by the Longshoremen's Union were without founda tion or justification. Their communication of October 9th was, therefore, answered in detail and the reply was endorsed and signed by every stevedore and ship-liner on the Portland waterfront. In the afternoon of October 12th there was a joint meeting of committees repre senting the I. W. W. and I. L. A., Local No. 38-6, and these committees met again early the next morning. They discussed a joint strike of the two organizations, to be called in the name of the I. W. W., but actively supported by the I. L. A. Fri day morning, October 13th, the I. W. W. met and again voted to strike, but decided to withhold action until 4:30 P. M. that date, awaiting the action of the I. L. A. At 2 P. M. that day, at a hastily called meeting, with approximately 150 present out of a claimed membership of 635, the I. L. A. Local No. 38-6 voted to join forces with the I. W. W. in their strike and sent a committee to the I. W. W. hall to so inform them. At 4 :30 P. M., same date, the two organizations declared the strike on at 5 P. M. On October 14th, the day after the strike was called, a document dated Portland, Oregon, September 17, 1922, and signed by M. Tr W. I. U. No. 510 of the I. W. W. showing the seal of that organization, was thrown through one of the employment windows of the Neutral HalL Since then the I. L. A. Local No. 38-6 has presented un der their seal demands identical to those mide by the I. W. W., including certain de mands made in behalf of the grain handlers whom they induced to join their strike on October 18th, 1922. This strike was called by the I. W. W. jointly with the Longshoremen's Union, Lo cal 38-6, 1. L. A., without justification or cause of any kind being shown and without prior notice of any kind being given to the Employers. This I. W. W. strike is not entirely IocaL Portland was picked by the I. W. W. as the weakest waterfront on the Pacific Coast. The I. W. W. throughout the North west and at every port on this coast were fully advised of what was going oh and urged to send in contributions for the support of the strike. They were also urged to send I. W. W. members to Portland for picket duty and. other strike work. If the Portland strike is successful similar strikes will be called at every other port on this coast. . It was due to these conditions that Mayor Baker promptly took control of the situation and upset the carefully laid plans of the I. W. W. It is due to his efforts that Portland had not been invaded by great numbers of undesirables. This is not only a matter of utmost importance to Waterfront Employers, but is of vital importance to every employer of labor in this city and community and to every citizen of Portland. Union Longshoremen who allowed their leaders to drag them into this strike would have suffered more than any others as the result of the influx of the I. W. W. Had the I. W. W. campaign been successful they most certainly would have replaced longshoremen working on this waterfront, both Union and non-union not members of the I. W. W., with their members sent here from the outside. Our final announcement will .appear in Saturday's papers and will be of consider able interest to all concerned. 4 November 2d.
