The transportation compa nies have made no answer to the local demand. Their Inactivity la directly due, however, to the fact that the coun cil Is to meat in Seattle on Sunday, and at this time it will consider a counter proposition made to it by the steam schooners' association for a compromise. Upon the decision of this meeting rests the question of whether or not the lum ber handlers will strike on Monday. J. A. Madaen. the Portland delegate to the Seattle council, does not look with alarm on the situation, however, and says that it is simply a friendly little argument between the lumber-handlers and the employers. The longshoremen have asked that they be given SO cents - an hour for lumber loading all over the coast. Instead of 3 cents at some points, -SO cents at others, and 40 cents in the 'case of Portland work. The shipowners have come back at the request with a counter proposition which may be any- thing from tt to 45 cents in the dlf- farant lorllt1ni If the nmnoaltlnn looks good to the longshoremen they will adopt it and there will be no trou ble ; if not, they will refuse to load lum ber for less than their own figures, ana will of course try to prevent others from doing the work. Mr. Madsen stated this morning that If tha proposition was acceptable, or If there was any likelihood of sn agree ment being reached, the date of the re quest would perhaps be extended from Monday until after the conclusion of the council's conference with the steam ship -men at Seattle.

TEAMSTERS DECID SHIPMEN TO DODGE THIS PORT Owners of Lumber Carriers Afraid Strike Will Tie Up Vessels in Portland Harbor Owners of lumber-carrying vessels are becoming afraid that they "will run their ships Into a trap" by coining to Portland to load for the orient and else where, and as a result of this fear, en gendered by the strike, five tramp stesmshfps have been ordered to clear for Puget sound ports, while others are to be added to the list. The lumbermen Of the city have been notified that on account of the unsettled conditions among the waterfront work men here, find the possibility that the trouble will spread to other branches of the longshoremen's union that are) now tied up in strike, that It has been de cided to divert a part of the lumber fleet from Portland to Puget sound. Following oat this determination orders have already been sent to Ave ships not to return to Portland until after the labor troubles along tho waterfront have been settled. Part of this number are ships that have re cently cleared from this port to the Orient and have been ordered not to return. Other owners have been ser iously considering the same step and have about decided to. make the same order should conditions not take a turn for the better. The action today by the Longshore men's Union in notifying the various ship owners, thst they would refuse to load any vessels with lumber on Mon day or later for less than 60 cents an hour will undoubtedly reault In the loss of other lumber vessels to the har bor, aa this action directly hacks up one of the main contentions of the owners. TaOWST Wages on Bound. In stating their case to the lumber men the ship owners who have ordered their vessels not to return to Portland have made the point that the steve dores on Puget sound are receiving 20 and SO cents an hour, the wages in British Columbia ports being always lower than these of either Seattle, Ta come. Bell Ingham or Portland. It is further stated that there Is plenty of tonnage In the sound ports, that there is no disturbance there, no danger of having the vessels tlsd up and Idle for Indefinite lengths of time by labor agi tations and. that therefore It ia for the beat Interests of the owners to divert their ships from Portland and its sons' of war. This decision wiU be of grave im portance to the mill men of the city, according to the statements of ths mill men themselves. Once the vessels are loaded for Puget sound and start from the Orient, it will be months before they csn reach their destination, discharge their cargoes and return again to Port land, without making an Idle trip, and thus operating at a loss to ths ownsrs. The condition will mean, so the mill men say, titat the lumber mills will be badly handicapped In handling their shipments, and that the output will thus be limited by the disadvantageous conditions.
