BREAKWATER ANB ALLIANCE

overwhelming
Marshal Barnes who was trying to
prevent the taking of salmon from
the Alliance warehouse for ship
ment on the Breakwater. T hedoor
of the warehouse was forced after
Agent Painter had locked it and
the salmon taken aboard the Break
water.
The clash resulted from rivalry
between the steamship lines for
business and of course each side
has a different version of it.
The
matter will probably be thrashed
out in the courts.
It seems that Agent C. F. Me-
George of the Alliance arranged to
handle the salmon pack of the C o
operative Cannery at Gardiner.
Being unable to get nny boat in or
out, Manager Carl Bergman of the
Cooperative contracted with him
for the shipment from Gardiner to
Astoria. Mr. McGeorge chartered
the schooner Wilhtlmina to carry
the salmon from Gardiner to Coos
Bay and from here tt was to be tak

the Breakwater to take it out.

the doois to prevent the longshore

on Mr. Bergman’s orders, tho long

door and proceeded to carry I he
salmon aboard the Breakwater.
Then Agent Painter oalled Mar
shal Barnes an.l the officer ordered
them to deeist but they would not
heed him and all the salmon there
was put aboard the Breakwater.
Owing to the rough weather, the
shipment has been delayed still
