.V,tos xaaer Center of Strike.
4 Union grain handlers will work
fargo on the steamer Beaver to
. morrow.
The strike has not been settled, but
th grain handlers have a warm spoi
1ft thalr heart for M. Jl. nouner, run-
land grain exporter, and will not sea
i htm suffer financial loss.
. 'As the move Is explained by the
grain handlers Houser sold 900 ton
f wheat to the Hrerry Klour Co. of
fan Francisco, the purchaser to name
the method of delivery. me wneai
was sold several weeka ago at a price
- of 11.05 a bushel.
The grain Is now worth only 97
"cents a bushel and the flour companv
has specified that It shall be delivered
alongside its dock In San Francisco
en the steamer Beaver. If the dellv-
- try la not made this week the contract
; 1 Cancelled and the exporter would be
Out several hundred dollars.
" -Hoping to forestall this loss, Houser
called the union's officials into con
ference. A committee composed of
Ar E. Barnes, business agent of No. 6;
jb. P. Holgate, of No. 6, and J. I.
- handlers union, waited on mm yes
terday afternoon, heard the case ex
plained to them, and after deliberation
.Voted to handle the grain.
f',"M. H. Houser Is the best friend
- we have In Portland and we would not
-see him lose on our account." de
clared Holgate yesterday. "So we de
tided te work the cargo despite the
humiliation It will be to us to work
- Alongside of a crew of non-union
."Wen."
"With this addition to the cargo the
Beaver will go out of here Tuesday
with close to 2600 tons of freight.
Th bulk of it will be grain. Paper,
' the extnet of 180 tons, the first
parried by water since the strike com
.menced, will form another portion of
the cargo. Several carloads" of flour
-laden at Alblna dock yesterday will
' also be moved. ,
i The Beaver was the center of the ,
: .Xongshoremen's strike yesterday.
Pickets patrolled the front about
: Where she worked all day. The launcli
Which bore the strikebreakers to and
- from her was stoned again. An armed
. guard on his way back to the craft
- after a trip uptown drew his gun and
'- atOOd off a crowd of pickets while
he" backed toward the shelter of the
&ock entrance.
"The employers assert that they
gained ground yesterday as the force
at work on the Beaver was increased
ljf nearly 20 men. The new workers
were carried to the dock in taxicabs
and jitney busses chartered for th
occasion and except for numerous epi
thets hurled at them the men suf
fered no damage. Armed guards ac
companied the cars in all instances.
, '-.v A German luborer, who had been
employed on the steamer, but who
quit work this morning, attracted con
siderable comment by Invading union
. headquarters and demandllng a ham
mer which the strikers had taken away
from him early in the week. He, and
, two other strikebreakers captured' dur
lng the day by the union men, were
; 'given severe lectures and allowed to
go. In the excitement of the occa
sion the German forgot his hammer
. fund went away without it.

West Coast to Bay City.
San Francisco. July 8. A voyage,
which would have gladdened the
hearts of th skippers of the old
clippers' school in the early sixties,

winds for almost the entire trip, only
three days being logged unr 100
miles. The average day's run recorded
was 201 miles, and the greatest dis
tance covered, 286 miles. This Is al

sailer.
