' The situation today between the shlp
Jpers and the grainhandlers' union, baa
not cleared any, and It looks, at far a
' the shippers at concerned, as though
'an open ahop la an accomplished fact.
None of the firms concerned ia uaing
; union men today. They expect to vet
the required amount of labor at I Oo per
hour, with 50e an hour- for overtime,'
despite the demand of the union for 0e
per hour and 80c per hour overtime.
' The shippers - have offered the union
men 35 centa per hour. .
At a meeting of, representatives of
' some of the principal shipping houeea
of the city and a. commute of the
' grainhandlers' union yesterday. at
" which it was expected a decision would
be reached In regard to the scale of
wagea to be paid to the union for the
coming season, the grainhandlers would
not come to a conclusion in regard to
the ibc rate under which they have
been working, atatinr that there are
not enough members of the union In
the city To come to a final agreement
on that scale, and that they had no
authority to do so. It Is understood,
however, that they would ; accept a
scale of 40c per hour.
When seen by a representative ot
The Journal this morning, D. A, Pa
tullo of Balfour, Guthrie and company
aid:
' Begotlatlons Drag Along.
"Our last agreement with the rraln
handlera" union expired In April of this
year, and at that time we tried to ret
a settlement as to the rate for this
year. We heard nothing from them and
a meeting was called for about the first
of May. but no satisfactory terms were
arrived at then and we have not heard
anything from them in regard to the
matter until yesterday, when a meet
ing was called to see If we could not
come to some kind of a satisfactory
agreement with them, but they would
not meet our terms, which are higher
' than those on the sound, as they said
that they wers not authorised to do so,
but Intimated that they would accept
the 40 cent rate.
Our offer waa 88 cents" an hour with
CO cents per hour overtime, while on the
sound the open shop being In operation,
the wages are JO cents an hour. Pay
ing 35 cents an hour, as we-were per
fectly willing to do, we would lose 16
cents Tier ton on every bit of grain we
' ship from here Instead of from the
sound, so that as a matter of fact, if we
have to divert e?r business to Tacoma
and other sound ports, we will really
be making money As it is. we shall see
what wa can do "with the open shop
method, and if we cannot make it go we
"will have to divert practically all of
our grain snipping to rogei souna.
, Would Affect Waterfront, '
Mr. Patullo said that It was nbt the
desire of the shippers to take the busi
ness away from Portland, but that such
a thing is possible, and in that case it
would demoralise the whole waterfront.
"The position of Balfour, Guthrie &
Co.,'' said Mr. Patullo, "and I belle v of
'all of the shippers here, is that under
'the old scale of 85 cents we were load
ing at 9 9-10 cents more per ton here, to
be exact, than at Tacoma, and now they
i want t0 increaae that by demanding
mors. It could hardly be expected that
'we would, bring grain, here for ship
ment under those circumstances."
v Mr. Patullo said that they had been
.'waiting for a settlement of the question
for over four months, and that it was
-not .a "very satisfactory thing "to be
' placed in'' such a position, because if
they were to get a lot of grain on hand
' and then be placed In the position in
which they are now. It would mean a
heavy loss to tnem. He said that in
formation had been received by them to
the effect that some members of the
grainhandlera' union had been heard
to remark that the Question of the mat
ter of wages was going to be held off
until the season opened np, and then tho
raise would be demanded. Althougn
. this was only a rumor, he said. It was
one of the things .that prompted them
to hire non-union, men . today.
Sxpects Plasty of Kelp. '
": Mr. Kerr, of Kerr, Qifford A Co.,
as id this morning that as far as the
; open shop on the sound is concerned,
it is in successful operation and that'
the1 men there are not Inexperienced, as
has been stated, but that the majority
of them handling grain are experienced
men. with families to support; and that
they are not of tho floating kind.
Ther have lota or laborers there."
v he said, "but I think, they, have .about
as many nere, oniy me unions Keep
: them down, which shows some of the
ill effects that can be brought about
by these organisations." i" "'"
Mr. Wilcox of the Portland Flouring
mills said tnat untu trie auierence is
'settled no' wheat will be shipped . here
except from' point .along toe O. R. &
Nv which cannot reach any other point
to ship from, although It Is 'possible
that 'arrangements will be made between
the Hill and Harriman interests to ship
-everything over ,tha. Northern, Pacifio
at the same rate. ''" ' v
' -. Mr. Wilcox said further that the new
: North Bank wheat dock will be idle, as
i -they cMMtotvuse 1U He said that he was
always in . ravor , or- giving , experienced
men 85 cents an hour.
"Although the grain ' handlers' union
has a membership "Of over 200. only 4
or St have been working at their trade
for some time past," saM Secretary Fo
ley of the grainhandlers' union today,
"because work in that line has been
dull here.' - The rest of the men have
been working at other things, princi
pally fishing. This would mean that a
possible walkout of the grain men at
this moment would really only actively
affect those 40 or (0 and they would
doubtless get other work at" once, , I
-By this it may be seen that the ex- !
porters have not much of a chance to
starve out the men. The emDlovera
will also hare to get unskilled 'work
men, and .any one who knows the busi
ness will bear me out in saying that
on old time skilled union grain band
it ts worth three unskilled men.
"I believe the union men along the
waterfront and those affiliated with our
union will stand by u and help us to
. win our Jus fight tor our rights.
. "It is not true that we have been
waiting to come to the decision at a
moment calculated to 'most harrasa the
employers. The contract expired last
April, but as our men have been scat
tered "it was hard to get them together
to take up the matter before.''
C. T. .Fouch. general secretary 'of" the
, Longshoremen s union, on -the Pacific
coast, said this morning:
"I do not think that anything serious
will com of this situation as.lt has
.happened every year, but In any case
ss tar as -1 can see now It will prob
sblv not affect us. But of -course I
cannot very well make any forecasts."

sum which he desires to recover, th
fact that his wife and six children have
