LONGSHOREMEN DECLARE WAR.
A Struggle Begins Against the New
Steyedorfng Company

Trouble Is impending between the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company, and pos
sibly other companies, and the Longshore-
mems Union, in which the latter organi-
cation may have to tight for its life. A
company has recently been organized to
take control of the loading and discharge
of vessels on the Sound, under the name
of the Puget Sound Stevedoring Company.
This work has hitherto been under the sole
control of the Longshoremen's Union,
whose members are hired directly by the
ship. while the Stevedoring Company con-
tracts with the ship as a unit and hires its
own men. The Longshoremen's Union
opposes this new organization because it
takes contracts at close hgures and will
thus tend TO cut down the scale Of wages.
When the Umatilla arrived few days
ago, she brought man named Ryan from
Portland to discharge her. 1t was under
stood that he was a representative of the
Stevedoring Company, some of whose
Steamship Company, the owner of the
Umatilla. The members of the Long
shoresmen's Union refused to work with
him, and discharged the steamer under the
old system.
Ryan then returned to Portland. and re-
turned on Saturday with sixty-four men
on board the City of Topeka. These were
were discharged railroad laborers whoshad
been fed by the city of Portland until'they
were paid OFF by the Union Pacific railroad.
About twenty-five of them were laborers
who had been obtaining food from the city
of Portland on the pretense of being
discharged railroad laborers. As this
means of subsistence was now stopped,
they had accepted Ryan's offer of work as
a means of getting free trip TO the Sound.
Accordingly, when the officers of the
Longsboremen' Union explained the cir
cumstances to them and requested them
not TO go to work, they readily complied,
and the union is now feeding them. Ryan
went back TO Portland yesterday to organ
ize another crew.
The City of Puebla will arrive this morn
ing and will be discharged by the union
men, who will decline to recognize Ryan.
AS soon as the latter attempts to discharge
a ship, the struggle for supremacy will
begin.
