BOTH CLAIM SAME RIGHTS Unions Fail to UetTogretlier and koiijrstyoremen Declare As NooiiUion sViifitfr-Other Maritime Happenings. The first clash between members of the longshoremen's union and the em P'eyfr? Sirred yesterday, when a strike was declared en Columbia Itlver Packers' Association. Prom all that can be learned regarding the mat w, tn assoclaton has been Involved In & conflict of authority between the longshoremen ar.d the fishermen. Of ficials of the association say they are powerless to take any action and have asked the two unions to settle the mat ter among themselves. The trouble came up at the associa tion dock, where the bark Harry Morse Is being, loaded for Alaska. The as sociation recently signed its sailors for the trip. Heretofore the sailors have always loaded the Alaska vessels, al though the officials of the association declared yesterday they personally pre ferred to use longshoremen In this work. However, the sailors thought they should be permitted to do the work, and, being unionized, their wish es were respected, the association merely complying with the demands of the union. Yesterday the longshoremen de manded that they be permitted to load the Morse. Representatives of the un ion made the demand, in a letter ad dressed to Samuel Elmore, vice-president of the association. At the same time the U.ka Fishermen's Union, which is conducted in connection with the Coast Seamen's Union, made a similar demand. Both Unions claim ed the right to load the ship. This put the officials of the associ ation up against a most peculiar sit uation of affairs. The association wanted the men to settle the difficulty among themselves, tut this could not be done, neither side being willing to give in. The sailors had the advantage of possession of the premises and would not leave -.he vessel. If the as sociation lecided in favor of the long snoremen, the sailors would strike, and it the decision were in favor of the sailors the longshoremen would strike. When Mr. Elmore received Secretary Noonan's demand that the longshoremen be permitted to load the vessel, he wrote the following repuly, In part : MVe are between the devil and the deep sea. We prefer longshoremen to load our ships, and had partially made our arrangements with Messrs. Mc Cabf & Brown to load the ship, but our crew going north insist upon hand ling the cargo themselves, for two reasons first, because they want the money; second, because when they un load the cargo they will know Just where every package Is. We think it Is a proposition that can be easily ad Justed by your own good selves with out bringing us Into the controversy, which we hope you will certainly do and settle It for all time." When the sailors refused to leave the ship, claiming the right under their union regulations to load the ves sel, the longshoremen declared the as sociation unfair. They went even fur ther than this and declared Mr. Elmore unfair, refusing to unload his steam er Harrison which had Just reached port with a cargo of freight Mr. El more protested that the affairs of the Columbia River Packers' Association had nothing to do with his private business, but the union had not come around to this way of looking at things when Mr. Elmore left his of fice last evening. Mr. Elmore said of the matter: "I can not understand why either the association or myself has been drawn into this controversy. It's merely a question as to which of the two unions has the right to load the ship. We are anxious to have our work done by union men, and whichever union should do it would be permitted to go ahead. We know nothing about the conduct of the unions, and I think it will be agreed that we have not the authority to decide this question. Why, under the terms of the demands of the two unions, the association would be liable to boycott no matter which un ion was employed. It's a matter for the unions to settle, and it is unfair to drag us Into" the controversy." It Is likely that the central labor council will be asked to make some decision as to .which union baa the right to load the ship, and the as sociation, which has no preference In the matter, according to the officials, will cheerfully abide by the result. Lothian Reaches Port. The big steam freighter Lothian reached port yesterday afternoon from Salinas Cru. Mexico, the southern port of call of the China Commercial liners. She brought no freight. This Is the first visit of this steamship to Astoria, but hereafter she is to ply regularly to the Columbia.
