THE-SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 19, 1906. 11 Y RESULT Ifl ANOTHER TIE-UP Attitude of the Longshoremen Causes Concern in the Shipping Circles. MAY AFFECT LOCAL UNION Stevedores of San Francisco and Kureka Have Decided Sot to Work Any Vessel employing: Nonunion Men. In spits of the fact that steamships have been moving in and out of the coastwise ports with some degree of reg ularity in the past month or so, even though manned by nonunion crews, ship ping men say it is likely that there will be a serious tleup of most of the lines. This new drawback to coastwise ship ping will be caused by the action of the San Francisco and Eureka longshoremen, who may be joined in the very near fu ture by their brethren in this city and Seattle. They have refused to assist in &ny manner whatever towards aiding in the mooring of vessels carrying nonunion crews. This decision, while technically only embracing the landing of the vessels, has a far wider scope, for their notice served on the shipowners states that In addition they will refuse to unload steamers em ploying nonunion men at this work, and as the crews of the coastwise vessels are usually called upon to assist, the decision practidally means that the majority of vessels plying in the coastwise trade will be forced to secure nonunion men Xo un load and load their cargoes, which, in view of the strength of the Longshore men's Union, will undoubtedly prove a hard task for the shipowners to solve in a, satisfactory manner. The local branch of the Longshore men's Union is noncommittal as to its attitude toward this movement, and while the members do not openly show any intention of following the lead of the fan Francisco union. It is generally be lieved that they will do so. In case the longshoremen at all the Coast ports are a unit on this proposition. It will effectually force the vessels carry ing nonunion crews to tie up, at least for a time, or will cause as much inconven ience to shipping by delay as though the lines were temporarily discontinued. In the event that they adhere to this method, the longshoremen are likely to force an issue very suddenly with the Shipowners' Association as regards the sailors strike, which has been in effect for more than three months. Only coastwUe shipping Is to be affect ed by this action of the longshoremen, and the already poor service between Portland and San Franucisco seems likely to be made even worse. IirLOMAN IS Dl'E TODAY. . MatBon Liner Coming With Cargo From Islands and San Francisco. With a large cargo consigned), to thla port rrom. iawauan ports ami tun rruu cisco, the Matson Navigation Company's liner Hilontan Is dua to reach her dock in this city soma time today. Agent Llndsey notified the local merchants some few weeks ago that there would be con siderable Brace on the vessel on her trip from the Bay City to this port, and agents of local firms were Immediately advised to avail themselves of this ves sel as a means of transporting the mer chandise to this city. In addition to the San Francisco con signments, the Hllonlan is bringing a cargo from the islands consisting princi pally of sugar and fruits. It has also been learned that there are a few passen gers for this city who have made the Journey from the islands by this vessel. Agent Lindsey has received several in quiries for passage on the outward voy age, but so far no one has booked for the islands. In the matter of outward bound freights there are over 600 tons al ready on the dock for shipment, and this may be increased to 800 or 1000 by the sailing date. Twenty-five head of horses are also to be shipped to the islands by this steamer. These are -consigned to Hawaiian plantations, and stalls are to be erected between decks tomorrow to accommodate the animals. An attendant will also be sent along to look after the wants of the livestock on the voyage. JETHOU ADDED TO THE LIST Another Large Steamship Coming to Load Lumber for the Orient.

GILLETTE BEGINS HIS TASK Law Requires Board to Ascertain the Amount ot Money Spent in con " structlon And Equipment of Every Line in State. OLTMPIA, Wash., Aug. 18. (Spe cial.) The Railroad Commission an nounces that It has employed Halbert P. Gillette, a prominent civil engi neer,, of New Tork City, as engineer for the commission, for the purpose of ascertaining the cost of construction of the railroad lines in this state." Mr. Gil lette is already at work, with a force of assistants, in the head offices of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern ar St. Paul, and It is probable that Com missioners Fairchild and Lawrence will GENUINE MARRIAGE TOGETHER go to St Paul this week to consult, with Mr. Gllletjte about the'work. - The appointment of an engineer for this work Is in accordance with what is. regarded as a mandate of the Rail road Commission law, as found in sec tion 12. as follows: Seo. 12. The Commission shall ascer tain as early as practicable the amount of money expended In the construction and equipment per mile of every railway in Washington. The Commission may also ascertain the amounts paid for sal aries to the officers of the railroad or ex press company and the wages paid to employes. For the purpose in this sec tion named, the Commission may employ sworn experts to inspect and -assist tnem when needed, and from time to time, as the Information required by this section is obtained, it shall communicate the same to the Attorney-General by report, and file a duplicate thereof with tne Secre tary of State for public use, and said in formation shall be printed from time to time in the annual report of the Com mission. The commission has found It Impos sible to obtain from the railroads the cost of construction of the principal lines In this state. The companies claim that they do not themselves know what the cost was. The Northern Pacific points out. In its report' to the commission on this point, that the present company bought the road out right, together with over 30,00J,000 acres of land, paying a lump sura for the road and lands, and that It has no way of ascertaining the cost of the road itself, either'to the original com pany or to the" present one. The Great Northern simply says it is "unable to state" In answer to the Question as to cost of conctruction. Several weeks ago the railroad offi cials were advised that the Washington Commission had decided to obtain some definite and valuable Information on the cost of construction in this state, during the present year. It was then mutually agreed that the commission should select an engineer of high repu tation for this work, and the railroads would give him such information as they possessed in their head offices, and that In addition sufficient actual sur veys should be -made s would furnish reliable data on the subject. The mat ter was brought to a head at Walla Walla immediately following the, re cent hearing there. Mr. Gillette was one of the eminent engineers whose names were mentioned who was ac ceptable to the commission and to the railroads. Mr. Gillette has been employed at a salary of J750 a month and expenses, and he has now been at work about three weeks. He formerly lived at Belllngham, and is the son of T. W. Gillette, a promi nent citizen of that place. He is regarded In engineering and railroad circles as something of an authority on the matter of cost of railway construction, and has frequently written articles on the sub ject which have been published In leading engineering magazines. The special object of the trio to 9t Paul by Commtesloners Fairchild and Lawrence Is to consult with Mr.. Gillette about the advisability of taking some as sistants for his work there from this state. It' is now estimated that the ex pense of the work being carried on by Mr Gillette will be between $10,000 and $au,uuo. . ... There is a strong probability that at some future time the figures submitted by Mr. Gillette may be reviewed by the courts. It Is this prospect that Is taking tne commissioners to St. Paul. At the present time Mr. Gillette is employing Borne assistants whom he brought with mm rrom xvew lork. uwlng to the oossi blllty of this work getting into the courts of this state, the Commissioners desire personally to in.pect the work being done and discuss with Mr. Gillette the advisa bility ot sending men from this state to assist him. Then. If the figures are I questioned in tne courts -at any time, there will be witnesses on the ground who can defend them; otherwise it will 1 be necessary to send to New York for the men who prepared them. ' . Mr. Gillette expects to leave Bt Paul with the Commissioners on their return here, leaving the office work there In the hands of his assistants. He will be gin making surveys of selected portions of the road-beds in this state as soon as he arrives, and his completed esti mates will be in the hands of the Rail road Commission In time to be Incor porated in the annual report which will be made by the commission to the Gover- nor prior to the meeting of the Legis lature In January.

Portland A San Francisco Steamship ' Company IndllTerenti Southern Pacific Did Its Best. ' Harriman's water line between Portland and Ban' Francisco Is held responsible for the recent Inadequate freight service by the transportation committee of the Board of Trade, whloh made Its report yesterday. Neither does the committee believe tlyit the present transportation facilities are .able properly to handle the growing de mand of trade between the two cities. Concerning the freight congestion at San Francisco, the committee believes that the Southern Pacific- Is In no way respon sible, and the report states that the offi cials did everything in their power to re lieve the situation. The committee is composed of the fol lowing members of the Board of Trade: T. S. Townsend, Frank C. Barnes, J. F. O. Shea, "W. fe. Olafke and T. J. Arm strong. The report Is as follows: We, your committee on transportation, to whom was referred the subject of In terrupted service by rail and water with San Francisco, beg to submit the follow ing report: First That after careful Inquiry Into the matter we find that Inability on the part of the Southern Pacific Company to handle freight from this city to San FranclBco has seriously affected Port land's commerce, especially the firms con FALL A Regular $16.50 A Regular $12.50 A Regular $ 7.50 7.i"TW;rl-' y - ; j j f i " it 4 "p -1 j The J.

That Inquiry developed tne fact that these conditions are wholly due to the In ability of consignees at San Francisco to remove goods from the sheds and sidings of the railroad company on account of lack of available warehouses and storage rooms, as a result of the recent disaster In that city. That the Southern Pacific Company's policy In the nonenforcenient of demur rage penalties is actuated by humani tarian and sound business motives, and that the entire situation Is an Inevitable result following In the wake of the recent disaster. We further find that the management of the railroad company has used every ef fort to relieve the congestion and to se cure the release of some 6000 freight cars now tied up and unavailable for traffic purposes. As the railroad company Inter ests are most vitally affected by present conditions, the genuineness of their ef fort to clear up the embargo may be re lied upon to produce satisfactory results speedily. In reference to the operation and hand ling of freight by the Portland & San Francisco Steamship Company, we beg to submit that In our Judgment the com pany showed Indifference and a lack of appreciation of the seriousness of the freight situation affecting the two cities. This ceusure is particularly applicable in the case of the Barracouta, which, af ter a number of serious delays, finally brought a heavy cargo of merchandise to this city, which remained in the hold of the vessel over Sunday, presumably for economic reasons affecting the company. That the Portland & San Francisco Steamship Company has Inadequate ship pins: facilities to meet the ever-growing coast commerce, and we therefore re spectfully recommend that the board make suitable representation to the com pany for the purpose of securing a bet ter service and greater frequency of sail ings.
