WATERFRONT LABOR

AFTER CONFERENCE
Numerous Scales and Work-j

Conditions surrounding longshore
labor have been complicated rather
than simplified by the result of the
conference at San Francisco, according
to Portland steamship men.
The employers of San Francisco are
reported to have reached an agreement
calling for 55 cents and Jl for off
shore work and 55 cens and 82 Ms cents
for coastwise service. They were pay
ing before 50 cents and 75 cents on
both classes.
Here there are two different scales
In effect. The San Francisco & Port
land Steamship Co. who. with the
I arr-McCormick Steamship Co. and
the Waterfront Employers' association
fought out the issue here, are pay
ing 50 centH and 75 cents &n hour and
Using nonunion men. Ttu-y assert
they are having no troub;e getting all
the men they need and that they have
ho Intention of going back to the old
conditions.
The North Pacific Steamship Co., a
competitor of the Big Three: line and
one of the flrut companies. to accede
to the demands of tho strikers. Is pay
ing tlfe scale demanded by the unions
when they went on strike June 1, 5-r
.cents and $1. This, for coastwise ser
vice, is the rate granted the unions in
Ban Francisco for offshore business.
The stevedoring companies here are
also paying the 55c and Jl for general
cargo offshore and 60c and Jl for lum
ber offshore. The mill companies are
paying 50c and 75c.
Conditions on Puget sound are only
R trifle different, the difference com
ing in the fact that none but the big
offshore lines gave In to the unions.
It has been miRKosted that a confer
ence now be held here and on the sound,
but the employers have so far refused
ny such move, stating that the men
an come back to work as Individuals
only.
Owing to the different scales be
ing paid, however. It Is believed that
some rearrangement will be forthcom
ing within the next few weeks.
"For once Portland is not paving
more money for longshore work than
do the other ports," declared George
H. Hardy of the Chamber of Com
merce, "and we will not do so again.
W'e intend that Portland shall ho
treated fairly In any conference that
might come out. for we have won
what we are entitled to only, and will
maintain that position"

This angle of the threatened gigan
tic strike was borne home to officials,
not :i!y by reports from the treasury
department but by the arrival of west
ern railroad presidents, such as Louis
W. Hill, whose father's name was syn
onymous with the "Empire of "the
Northwest" and its wealth of farm
lands.
Will Stand by President's Plan.
For their part, the brotherhood rep
resentatives, through A. B. Garretson,
made it known today that they do not
Intend to deviate from the president's
plan, answering persistent suggestions
that the executive will offer a compro
mise solution, Garretson told the
United Press:
"The president has announced what
he regards a fair plan of settlement.
If there is to be any deviation, it
will not be from our side."
Upon the final decision of the rail
road executives and the final action
taken by the president it would ap
pear from Oarretson's statement, de
pends whether thousands of mills are
likely to stop, cities face food and
fuel shortage and the entire country
become prostrated before what it Is
believed would be the greatest strug
gle between capital and labor in his
tory. Cities Have Furnished Data.
Various cities have estimated they
would face food and fuel shortages
within a week after a general trans
portation tie-up.
Loss to producers of perishable and
semi-perishable commodities would be
so great that approximation is sim
ply impossible. It was said at the de
partment of agriculture today.
"Any computation, of figures, how
ever conservative, would be so enor
mous that the average citizen could
not comprehend it," said G. C. White,
acting chief of the office of markets
of the department today.
A strike within the next few weeks,
even If it lasted less than a week, ac
cording to White, would work an al
most Immeasurable havoc to the peach
and apple grower of the northwest.
This crop is just beginning to move.
As it is now, with conditions normal,
there is a freight car shortagesthat is
annoying fruit growers and railroad
men. Tomatoes, watermelons and
ranteloupes by the millions would rot
in the fields or at terminals, should
crop movements stop.
Supplies on Hand Insignificant.
Very few cities, according to Chief
White, have sufficient commodities
and delicacies of this kind to last
more than a few weeks at most
Pittsburg, he said. Is a typical case.
The territory within 100 miles of the
Smoky City doesn't produce two per
cent of the amount used there. Within
two or three days such commodities
would be used up. It would be out
of the question. White believes, to
relieve the situation with horsedr'awn
or motor propelled vehicles.
"Hundreds of citizens," said White,
"would be reduced to a bread and meat
diet. And this diet could not last long
in some localities."
White declared industrial plants in
every section of the country would be
forced to close down through absence
of raw materials. Millions of workers
in such plants would be forced out of
work. With salaries thus cut off.
they would be unable to purchase nec
essaries of life even were they to
be had.
Grain Begin Moving.
"Movement of grain crops, which
begins in the Texas Panhandle early
in June and continues through Sep
tember and October, until the mon
ster yields of northwestern fields are
in the elevators Or at the mills, obvi
ously would cease." said White.'
"At this time some 50,000,000 bush
els of wheat have Just started moving
from the Pacific northwest Oregon,
Idaho and Washington to Pacific ter
minals for shipment via the canal and
the Horn to Europe. It is easy to see
what would happen to these crops
were the railroads to stop operating.
"Of course, grajn now stored ln ele
vators would not be lost; but without
the railroads, these grains could not be
moved to the mills, ami elevator stor
age for crops already harvested or
about to be harvested would be out of
the question. Complete loss of these
millions of bushels of grain, therefore,
would be threatened."
Country Prepares to Assist.
Untie Sam Is getting ready finan
cially to move the nation's crop.
The financial board is getting re
quests from its agents for currency to
meet the demands for money.
The threatened railroad fetriKe is
menacing wheat men who have thou
sands of buehels at railroad stations
ln the northwest states, gambling on
their chances of getting their crops to
market.

employes heard approving telegrams
