The unions received an offer from the operators of the paper boats of $50 a month with a $5 bonus monthly after three months' continuous service. It was believed on the waterfront that the unions would accept this and possibly compromise with the passen ger and freight boats. The paper work is admitted to be much harder than the straight freight and passenger runs. However, no action will be taken un til after the meeting of Hhe Interna tional Longshoremen's association at San Francisco, Wednesday. The River Steamboat Men's union is a chapter of this order.

GERMANS' ASSAULTS IGAINSI POSITION AT FORT VAUX REPULSED Liquid Fire Was Used by As sailants in Attacks Last Night, VIEW SITES IMPORTANT Weed for Observation Points Is Season ! Advanced for tha Sarag-e "Fighting About th rortr Just Vow. Paris, June 5. (I. N. S.) Violent German assaults with liquid fire last night against a position around Fort j Vaux were repulsed, according to to- j day's official communique. The Qer- i mans are keeping up a continuous bom- ! bardment of French positions we&t of the Meuse. I At an appalling cost, the crown prince has regained the hillock spur i which he had taken before and lost, where only shell made tree stumps, sawdust and splinters remain of the ! erstwhile Caillette wood. 1 The Germans are still fighting hand-to-hand with grenades around he famous "Vaux ravine, which the poilus" call "the ravine of death." and the Vaux pond, called "the pond. of corpses" because it is filled with. German dead. i Every position Clearly Sees. An artillery officer, who evacuated the day before yesterday, said to me: "The Caillette wood hillock is so clearly within the view of our bat teries that we fire on it with the same ; ease with which we put our food into our mouths. Every big shell crater is known to the inch. Keeping it will be costlier to the Germans even than re- capturing it." ! The ravine, pond and Vaux village were only retaken after being previous- I ly taken and lost. The Saxon division, I after two unsuccessful attempts, scaled I tne northern slope leading to Fort Vaux, which the Germans reached but lost on March 9. The Prussian di- i vision, avoiding the fort, which was honeycombed with French machine guns, attempted to outflank the fort -o the eastward, but the French counter attacks saved the position from encir clement. Height Heeded to See. The ground here is so cut up ar.d deeply ravined that in many places s.ght has been lost of the advancing host. Thus the problem of Verdun is one of seeing. The bottoms of the ravines and hol lows are simply stuffed with guns, but the occupation of heights as observa tories from which to direct the fire is necessary. Whoever sees can destroy his opponents. That is why the Ger mans are lavishing brigades and di visions to capture Fort Vaux from which the deepest hollows and ravines where the artillery is hidden can be seen. To the terrific precision of the French artillery credit is due the in valuable Vaux observatory, from which the German cantonments, re serves and supply trains can be shelled with accuracy and without respite. British and French Repulsed. Berlin, June 5. (I. N. 6.) Repulse of British and French attacks at va- rious points between Ypres and Vaux was announced in today's official state- ment from the German general staff. I The statement Indicates a strong French offensive is in progress and declares that fighting is continuing with undiminished ferccity and ter rific losses. The text follows: "British attacks southeast of Tpres : broke down under our artillery fire, i 'Feeble attacks by th French, after ' gas preparation, in tne region or Prunay, Champagne, failed. West of the Meuse our artillery achieve good . success 'French infantry tried to advance west of Haucourt-Ksnes road, but was repuisea. i 'East of the Meese the fighting between Caillette forest and Damloup is continuing with undiminished vio lence. Enemy infantry In great masses tried to regain positions which we had conquered. A mighty effort at Cumieres ridge, southwest of the vil lage of Vaux and in the districts to the southeast, was repulsed with enor mous losses. "Reconnoitering detachments en tered enemy positions along the Yser." LION LED FIGHT IN SKAGER RAK, j SAY SURVIVORS (Cnnttnneil From Page One) I Whips which shared with the battle cri:iser squadron in the heaviest fight ing in the Skager Rak engagement: "The first warning came just aftr o'clock in the afternoon, when we got the order which sends every man to his post for action. Then there ws a very trying time of waiting. At last the word went round that Admiral Beatty's flagship, the Lion, which was ' leading our line, had signaled that thej enemy was in sight and it was no j many minutes after that the Lion fired i the first shot. I "It was at very long range but we ' were going at full speed and gradu-1 ally getting nearer the German line, j Presently others of our ships joined i in the firing and then for five hours we were lit it hammer and tongs. We were shaping our course zigzag, all Ihe time. Most of the fighting! was done at a range or about &O0O yards and it was deadly. German Had Better Position. "The Germans outnumbered us, but that would not have mattered if they had not also had the benefit of the better position. For a good part of the battle the sun made it difficult to sight our guns on their ships. They could see us, but we could hard ly see them. Shells dropped around us like hail. Some hit us, but luckily none did vital damage or even put a Klin out or action- several aeniea our armor ana one piaie naa a sent six Inches deep, but without a break In the steel. "The really disagreeable thing was the gas shells which eent out poison ous gas. However, we came through the battle with only a few men killed and wounded. Saw Several Ships Bur. "I saw two or three other ships burning. I believe the Invincible was one, and I also saw the Queen Mary blow up suddenly. Our destroyers managed to take up some of the men from the lost ships, but they thrm sel ves were fully occupied in dealing with the German destroyers and screening'the bigger ships of our fleet from the torpedo attacks. "The Germans may have been ac- I companled by 5b,pplins, but personally I saw none.

UCI PPn TO sVurrCUIkil nLLlLU IU SINK QUEEN MARY, IS EDINBURGH ACCOUNT Edinburgh, June 6. (I. X. S.) The Scotsman prints the following graphic story: The Queen Mary went down in the. thick of the action. The men who haVe returned say she Tought at close range a German battleship and while her great guns were busy with the more powerful and better protected German ships, one oi the Kaiser's super Zeppe lins was hovering over her, showering her with bombs in an attempt to find a vital spot. As busy as she was with her heavy guns, the Queen Mary kept her anti- air guns going. The story is that the Zeppelin was shot down in a blazing mass, fell close to the ship, exploded and was destroyed. Big Explosion on Queen Mary. At the same time the Queen Mary received two terrific broadsides, one from the ship which she had been fighting and which is said to have gone down subsequently, and one from another German ship. From the lat- ter a snot .belched which reached her magazine. There was a great explo sion and within six minutes she went down. The other losses, 16 is understood, for the most part were due to gun fire from ships of greater gunpower and heavier armor at close range. The work of two famous vessels he Lion and the Tiger is notable be cause of Beatty's command of the first and the German , beilef that the second had been sent to the bottom many months ago. ' Score of Snip Fire at Tiger The Lion was where the fignt was hottest, excepting once, when there was a concentrated fire upon tlie Tiger such a volume of fire as few vessels have ever experienced an$ survived. The sudden alteration of the German course as their struggle to escape be gan threw the mighty Tiger unr'er the fire of over a score of ships. The or deal lasted for 10 minutes, and the marvel is that the Tiger should have steamed back to port. The Lion, which received less seri ous punishment than in the Dogger I Bank fight, was hit several times, but j escaped the most desperate efforts to . torpedo her. . Samafa to Survivors. Slight. .

Who is going to call the Republican state central committee together for the election of a chairman and other officers is a question arousing tiome speculation. State Chairman C. V.. Moores is not in the city, having gono to his son's ranch near Kennewlck for a vacation. K. D. Baldwin, secretary of the committee, is private secretary to Congressman Sinnott and is at Washington, and Harvey Wells, treas urer of the committee, is insurance commissioner. Section 3506 of Lord's Oregon laws, being one section of the corrupt prac tices act, says: '"No holder of ;t public position, other than an office filled by the voters, shall be a delegate V. n .., I nlv..t 4,.,. .It...

It is contended by lawyers that this section of the law Inhibits both Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Wells from serving as members of the state central com mittee, or any other political com mittee, and that by the same token neither of them can serve a officers of the state central committee. It has been suggested that Mr. Wells call the committee to meet during the present week, but it is contended that such a call would not be legal because tha i Always bear Insurance commissioner does not have j w authority by reason of the law Jus'.
