The steamship West Indian left shortly
after midnight on Monday and in spite Of
all that the Coast Seamen's Union could do
to- prevent it, had anOn-union crew on board.
When she left the wharf it was supposed
she was going to anchor in the stream, as
she only had one sailor on board; but 10 the
surprise of the union men who we're on the
dock she steamed slowly down the bay in
stead of coming to an anchor, and was soon
overtaken by tug having on board full
crow of non-union men. 1t was learned
that this crew was shipped on Saturday and
was at once sent to Oakland, where the
men remained until the vessel was ready to
sail. when the tug sent over and the men
taken on board. The union men refused TO talk
on tie subject, Gad trouble is expected when the
steamer comes back to San Francisco.
