THE SAILORS OBJECT.
They Almost Unanimously Re-
ject the Reduction.
SHIP OWNERS MAY NOT INSIST,
Fierce Competition Among sound
Steamers Causes Rate Cutting
News Of the Water Front.

II 10 now beginning to look as II the ship
owners are not going to insist on a reduction in
SAILORS wages. The members OF the local
oranen OF the Sailors Union say they think the
question Is practically settled; that the PROPOSE
ton to accept the reduction has been voted
upon by all the branches on the Coast and was
almost unanimously rejected. This gave the
owners to understand that to Insist on the re-
cuctlon meant a fight, and though they have
not openly reeeded from their position, the TACT
That nearly all the vessels, with the exception
OF those OF the Simpson Company, of San Fran
cisco, are shipping union crews as heretofore, is
taken a. evidence that the owners have weak
ened.
The position OF the owners was that the sharp
competition IN freights necessitated a reduction
In wages, and that with the return of high
ireights the old wages would be restored But
the sailors maintained that they were in no way
responsible for the reduction in freights, and
the reduction in wages would in no way lessen
the competition, which would continue to a
point where another reduction in wages might
De supported by the same argument. They fur
tner maintained that the owners never increased
wages unless they were compelled to do so no
matter how high freights went, and, now that
the blade was cutting q little the other way,
they should not vince; and that If they &C
copied a reduction, the process of restoring
wages TO the former standard, under the pres
sure OF competition, would be like trying to
stop runaway locomotive on down grade.
IL Is fact that sailors the Coast have had
very unsteady work, especially during the past
year. In this CITY there has scarcely been a
time since January when there have not been
from thirty to forty sailors on the union list
waiting their turns to ship. IL is frequently q
month or six weeks before the last
name on the list at any given time has been
reached, and during the trouble at the coal
mines, there were almost two months during
which scarcely a man had been shipped from
here. Taking these facts into consideration, IL
Is doubtful If the sailors who have been ashore
In Seattle during the year have averaged more
than ak to eight months work on q liberal es.
innate Their average earnings for the year at
the present rate Of wages would not therefore
exceed $3.50 to 1920, and out of this they have
had to feed themselves the other four to six
months and keep themselves In clothes. The
reduction asked for was Is per cent

Senators From the Gulf States.
Frank G. Carpenter.


The Gulf Of Mexico furnishes two new
men to the Senate. These are White, of
Louisiana, who takes the seat of tne rich
and phlegmatic Eustis; and Davidson, OF
Florida, who hopes to hold from now on
the position which the choleric Call has
kept for the past twelve years. Senator
White promises to make more of noise
than did Eustis. He is Louisiana lawyer,
and is noted for his vitality and nervous
energy. He is six foot tall, has a robust
frame, and his hair and complexion are
blonde. He is well educated, speaks
French like a creole and is very fluent as a
debaier lie is quick at repartee though
not bitter in his remarks. He Is a sugar
PLANTER as well as q lawyer. and has large
sugar estate near New Orleans. tie is q
bachelor. but prefers his own home 10 a
hotel, and ne will probably keep house at
Washington City, with has sister as the
female head of the house.
Senator Davidson, of Florida, has been
In the lower house of congress for years.
He is man OF fair average ability, but
with none OF the elements OF great states
manship or great oratory about him. He
IL well educated, and during the late IN
pleasantness he won his spurs on the Con-
federate side, entering the service as q
cantain and coming out a lieutenant col
onel He was acting in this position when
he was severely wounded in ls64 and had
TO leave the service. He is now about 90
years Of age and has been in politics al
his life

Tug Wasp GOES to Utsalady today with some
boom sticks, and from there she goes TO Blaine
to take boom OF logs to whatcom.
4 Steamer State of Washington made an excur-
sion TIP yesterday TO Everett, Port Gardner and
Lowel. The passenger list was not very heavy.
Tomorrow tug Biz will be placed on the ways
at the dry dock for some general repairs Her
shaft viii be taken out and her stern-besring

Steamer Multnomsh came in with twelve and
left with ten tons OF freight on the Olympia
route; the Henry Bailey brought in ten and took
out twenty-five tons on the Skagit river route;
the Mabel had thirty-hvs tons out for Snohom-
ish and way ports, and the J. R. Mcdonald had
foriy-six tons out for Bellinghsm bay.
The steamer City Of Seattle had narrow es-
cape from serious damage yesterday afternoon
on making the landing st her wharf. A pile
about twelve inches through caught in her
wheel, and after being thrown up against the
stern three or four times IN q manner that
brought all the passengers aboard to their feet
the blades of the wheel cut IL clean in two and

says this was his maiden trip to Alaska, and,
though his pilot, Captain Craig, thought il was
the worst trip he had had in twelve years, that
ne himself rather enjoyed It.; that he has expert
eneec much worse weather in the East, and
thought nothing of It The vessel encountered
stin southeast gale nearly the whole distance
down, and 1t was raining and showing, and the
nights were as dark as ink. Captain Plummer
gives much credit TO his pilot for the careful
manner in which he handles his vessel among
the treacherous icebergs. He says things are
rather dull in Alaska at present

The park fund is derived from 10 per cent OF
all licenses, fines aud fees received by the city.
Work on Kinnesr park commenced on
September IA. II has been the endesvor to pre-
serve the natural features OF the park as Ear a.
compatible with rendering the greatest possible
area available for Improvement for public use.
The bluffs will be covered with vines and trail.
ing plants. The erection of the rustic structure
Is well advanced anu the rock work nearly
completed. In the lower portion of the park
the natural contour has not been disturbed, and
the native growth, with the exception of alder,
hazel and willow, has been left.
The work on Denny park so far has been linn
tied to blowing and hauling manure.
At City park area of two acres has been
cleared in the southeast corner for q nursery. A
propagating house with cellar basement has
been erected and heating apparatus put in.
Already there are $4,000 plants in pots and boxes
The commissioners make suggestions TO the
policy they recommend. 1t is their desire, they
say, to see the city within the coming year 40
quire two or more large tracts of land suitable
for parks, one on the shores OF Puget sound and
the other on Lake Washington. The present
sites will soon be only breathing places, and in
neither is there room for driveways, play
grounds or gymnasiums. Natural park sites
abound In every direction which could be
cured at comparatively small cost and improved
with no great outlay. Values will increase an
the city is spreading so rapidly.
They consider that II would not be wise to
issue bonds just now for park purposes, but
their hands are practically tied and II some
means of relief is not afforded by the city coun-
ell 1t will be years before the city can become
possessed OF suitable tracts of land. and then
only at prices far in excess OF the present
They advocate being allowed by charter
amendment the power to buy land and pay for
it in annual instruments; a levy OF 4 mill
would be sufficient to provide the mea Ms. The
revenue from licenses, etc, would, the commits
sioners think, be enough for improvements
The estimated expenditure, in such case,
would be: Park construction, $4,000; main.
tenance, $4,000; purchase of land. $4,000. To-
tai, $4,000 The report does not say how II Is to
be met, but Il mill levy would yield about
80, 000 cash In hand, s140D0; licenses, fines and
fees, next year, $4,000. Total, $4,000
The board also urges tho city to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of soon beginning the construction
of bouevards.
1t also advocates that hereafter streets IN the
residence portions be improved on the parking
system, which is, that they be laid out with
grass plats part of the width on each side.
The report is prepared by Superintendent j.
L. Taylor and IS signed by Daniel Jones. w. X.

Some Big New York Salaries.


In q recent letter / made mention of a
few Of the high salaries that were paid in
New York, and since then friends have
kindly supplied me with a great deal of
information on this subject which strikes
me as being interesting to the general
reader. We all know that politics is fat,
II it is cut right, but it will be news to
many even in these immediate parts to
learn that John Courtney, of Brooklyn,
sheriff of Kings county, earns $50, 900 a
year, at least his office is worth that to
him, and that John Cottier, the county
clerk of Kings, is $4,000 richer every
year from his office. In a suit against q
baking powder company the information
brought out, somewhat reluctantly, that
the president Of the concern draws q salary
of $50, 600 year and the vice president $780,
900. In the same trial the president of paint
and varnish company was placed on the
stand as an expert On corporation salaries.
He testified that the superintendent of his
company was paid $4,000 year. The
president was not asked to testify as to
what his own salary was. The imagina-
ton of the jury was left to soar and satisfy
itself on that point If it could. John Hoey
was paid $780, 900 year as president of the
Adams Express Company, which hisa- may 40
men to get his place after he had spent
forty years in building up that great and
powerful corporation. In the 50,O00 class
may be mentioned DR.. Norvin Green, pres
ident Of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company; Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, president of the New York Central;
Henry B. Hyde and Richard NJ. McCurdy,
the two latter presidents of insurance COM
panies. Another high-salaried insurance
president is John r. Hegeman, who lately
succeeded the late Joseph Knapp. of the
Metropolitan. His salary is perhaps
around the $780, 600 mark. 1t is not so very
many years since Mr.. Hegeman was clerk
at about $50 a week in another insurance
company, but he is man who has ad-
yanced because of his own merit. The
bankers in New York are not so we'll paid
as the insurance men, although none OF
them are suffering personally from any
financial stress. George c. Williams,
president of the Chemical bank, is paid
SOS. 600; President Potts, Of the Park bank,
and President fappan, Of the Gallatin
National. like sum.
