The Compromise Agreed Upon la a
Mean Between the Demand! of
Both Association! and Will Permit
All Ships to Go in the Morning.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24
Aftcr a conference today between the
committee representing the schooner
owners and the local branch of the
marnic engineers' association, the
dispute between the two organiza
tions was settled by concessions on
both sides.
The marine engineers agreed to al
low non-association engineers now
employed by the lumber companies
to work until their contracts expire
and to abandon their former demands
regarding the manning of vessels and
to accept a decrease in pay. The
ship owners on their side agree to
abandon their demands for the man
ning of vessels, a big decrease in pay
and an rpen shop. The compromise
agreed upon is a mean betwen the de
mands of both associations and will
permit all ships that have been tied
up to get out tomorrow morning.
THE UNION LABEL.
A Correspondent Aaka Some Perti
nent Questions and Makea Some
Statements.
The following letter reached this
office yesterday and is published
without comment, because it speaks
plainly for itself and the subject mat
ter, from the point of view of one
close to the issue, if issue there be:
; Astoria, March 26.
V'Editor Astarian- In reply to the
letter published in this morning's As-
torian, signed by C. J. Curtis, I will
state that the question of the union
label not being on the cards of the
respective candidates for the primary
election, has not been brought before
the central council, so any one mak
ing that statement is not authorized
to do so; and that any one being fa
miliar with the tricks of poltical cam
paigns will readily see how this ques
tion is being made capital of by their
rivals for the different offices.
Though we all know that the union
label is one of the cardinal issues of
unionism and is vital to our interests
for the betterment of our working
conditions and should always be de
manded, yet on the other hand, had
the candidates sent their work to
Portland in order to have the union
label on it, no doubt the same parties
would send up a howl about 'home
industry' and the county being out
so much money that should be spent
here. Being myself a believer in the
saying that 'people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones,' I
will ask them if they always demand
ed the union label?' If not, what are
they kicking about? Yours truly,
"C. H. THOMSON."
Ninety-Five and Cheerful
A kid reporter of 50 or, thereabout,
got into converation with R. S. Mace
wan, the 9S-year old veteran of this
county, yesterday, and found the
patriarch well and cheerful, despite
a slight cold and the sharp March
wind that bothered his eyesight a bit.
Mr. Macewan told some pleasant rc
minescences about George 111,
George IV, William IV, and Queen
Victoria, and said he could remember
all the Presidents of this country ex
cept Washington, John Adams and
Jefferson, 23 in all, and expected to
see, several more English rulers and
American chief executives take their
places before he passes over; and
otherwise made the reporter feel quite
young again. This same fine old gen"
telman reads the Morning Astorian
every day of his life without glasses.

dolence over the death of D. W.

community is shocked at the news of

Protecting Itself
In .a recent interview in the East,
one of the Havermeyers of the sugar
trust made the statemnt that the
"sugar industry was one of the few
businesses that received no protec
tion from the protective tariff of the
country"; and the reason developed
this week right here for that extra
ordinary oversight on the part of the
framers of th Dingley tariff. Sugar
has advanced on this market 60 cents
per hundredweight since last Satur
day night. They need no protection
who can so ably protect themselves.
This on the .word of one of the
heaviest buytrs of that commodity
in Astoria.
Petition Filed
