Since her arrival la port eight sailors
have deserted from the British ship Red
Rock, which is discharging coal at the
Albina dock. Asked If ha would make
any effort to induce them to return,
Capt. Porter replied:
. "No, if they are dissatisfied, and they
evidently Imagine they are, I would
rather not take them on a voyage with
me. They would be sullen and disagree
able, and would cause more or Jess
trouble all the time. It is a difficult
matter to get any work out of a discon
tented sailor." I suppose they- were en
ticed away by the sailor boarding
house people who will probably ship
them on some other vessel." .
"Do sailors ever give much trouble at
sea?" was asked.
"At times they' create a little dis
turbance," he said, "but if those in
charge act promptly and fearlessly the
most hardened of his class can be
handled with apparent ease. I recall
an Instance which I will cite for an
example. I shipped a crew at Towns
vllle, Australia, at one time to make a
trip to New Caledonia. There were
about 15 of them, principally Irish, Eng
lish and Welsh in nationality. I learned
afterwards that they signed to make the
voyage Wholly with the purpose In view
of gaining possession of the ship and
running her to suit themselves.
"About the first day out a big, raw-
boned Irishman, who appeared to be the
leader of the gang, was sent down Into
one of the holds to do some work. No
sooner had he reached the designated
spot than he sat down and lighted his
pipe. Ho was puffing away very com
placently and evidently enjoying himself
when the bo's'n informed him that he
must desist smoking and go to work.
"The dlvll you say! Now, might I
be after lnqufrln' who had the bad taste
to llllvate you to such a position of
authority T
" "Well, my Instructions are,' answered
the bo's'n, 'not to permit any smoking
down here, and you will havo to put
that pipe away at once.'
" 'Maybe the likes of you is laborln'
under the Happy Hooligan Illusion that
you kin make me do It,' snapped the
Irishman. 'A-r-r yes ready? Come on
yes oiooay spalpeen and i ll bate yes
Into less the reslmblance of a man than
you now is, and the dlvll knows it will
be hard to make yes look much worse
than you already do.'
"About this time the first mate and
myself happened along." continued the
captain, "and we quickly slsnd up the
situation. The mate stood about six
feet six inches In his sock feet and was
strong ss a, ox. Tha members of the
new crew gathered around, and it was
easy to discern that they were on the
point of mutiny. The least hesitation
or indecision on our part would un
doubtedly have proved our finish. I saw
at a glance that something must be
done quickly. With the towering form
of the mate standing back of me I ad
dressed the Irishman. Before starting
for the scene of the outbreak I had
taken the precaution to put a pair of
handcuff's in my pocket.
" "Look here, my friend,' I began,
"such unbecoming conduct and exhibi
tion of temper will not be permitted on
this- ship so long as I am the command
ing officer. Tou will have to change
your tactics. If I see fit to put the
youngest apprentice on this vessel over
you, you ftvlll. have to obey him.'
"While I was talking," explained the
captain, "I kept edging up to him, and
when I got close enough I slipped the
handcuffs on him before he knew It. He
seemed surprised, but made no resistance.
" 'Now,' I said, again addressing him,
'I am going to put you in irons and upon
a diet Of bread and water and keep you
in such a condition that when you are
again given your liberty you will be so
meek that I will never hear another
whimper out of you during this voyage.'
"He was then placed In Irons and I
put him In the lazaretto. He stood it
bravely for about four hours, when he'
began to beg to be released. Upon his
promise to obey all future orders I
turned him loose, and after that his de
portment was all that could be desired.
After we returned to our home port and
I was paying htm off he told me of the
plan which the new crew had formu
lated to bulldoze the officers and have
an easy time. He said that he was
merely acting his part, when the bal
ance of the crew weakened and failed
to give him any assistance,. He said that
my prompt action taught him a lesson
and that ha was glad that matters
turned but the way they did. ,
"That in the only way to deal with
such beggars," concluded the captain.
If you act like you are afraid of them
they will soon have you In their power."

O. W. Gordon, one of the officer
and a prominent. -member -f -the Master
Builders' association, was asked for his
opinion relative, to the yearly agreement
proposition as outlined editorially In
The Journal. Mr. Gordon declined to
speak for the association, but gave his
personal views as follows:
"I am a firm believer In yearly agree
ments, and If there were only the right
kind of men in the carpenters' union
I would boamong the first to urge the
employers to sign a contract with them.
The trouble is a great many of them
are not mechanics, ' and should never
have been . allowed to join the union.
Unfortunately the Inexperienced mem
bera are so strong numerically that they
have secured control of tho organisa
tion, and they will. listen to nothing
that is reasonable.
"However, I belleve it Is possible to
arrive at some sort of an understanding,
but not exactly an agreement. In the
commonly accepted meaning of the word.
I do not believe, under the circum
stances, in entering into a written eon
tract with them. Neither do I believe
In promising to employ no one but union
men. I think that a man should be
given the privilege of getting and hold
ing a Job If he can. without being forced
to Join a labor organization. Union
men are very inconsistent In this, re
spect. They ask employers to hire no
one but union men, and at the same
time they work-fojr a contractor whether
he Is a member of " the association or
not. If they would practfee what they
preach it would probably bo all right,
but t"V will not. ' . ; The association
comes into competition iwlth .poor con
tractors outside of our , organisation.
Frequently they take contracts at a
very low figure, depending upon working
long" hours and paying poor wages In
order to make a profit And certain
union men are working for just such
contractors in Portland today.- I know
of a union man who recently went. Into
the contracting business. To- secure
contracts he underbids the members of
the association, and the only manner
In which he can come out even on tho
Job is to go to work early in the morn
ing and to quit late at night This is '
what he has been doing right along.
When he was working for a member of -the
association he was always the first
to object to working a minute over
