STEAMERS AND LABOR.
No Foundation for the Persistent Rumors
that the Steamers VIII Go Elsewhere.

There has been considerable talk about
the city to the effect that the steamers of
the Allan and Dominion lines might go
10 some other port on account of the send
ing back to Canada of some of their
'longshoremen, who were alleged to be
here in violation of the alien contract la
Dor law. The PRESS is able to state that
there is no truth whatever in these ru-
mors, so far as any of the steamer Off
cials here know. Both Mr.. Lilley, of the
Allan line, and Mr.. Torrance, of the Do
minion line, say that they have no
knowledge whatever of any such move,
and they regard the report as ridiculous.
It is true that the sending of the men
back to Canada is regarded by them as
somewhat serious interference with their
business. This affects the Dominion
line with the greater severity. The ste
vedoring of the Allan line is done by the
American firm of A. Neal & Sons, and
ali but four of their men are Americans.
So the Allans will lose only the services
of those four and four coopers. The
coopers were also general mechanics,
used to the particular work required
about steamers. Mr.. Lilley thinks it
will be quite impossible to supply their
places satisfactorily here. The Domin-
ion line stevedoring is done by Mills and
McMasters, from whose crews come the
bulk Of the men sent back to Canada.
These were skilled men, and Mr.. Tor
rance says it will be difficult, if not i'm
possible, to fill their places here. He
says that Portland has not enough good
'longshoremen to do it, and he expects
vexatious delays and trials all winter
long on account of it.
The contract labor law was undoubted-
ly intended to prevent American manu-
facturers sending abroad for cheap labor
to underbid American workingmen, and
was, no doubt aimed at coal operators
and others, who met strikes by import
ing Poles and Hungarians. But the law
hits wide variety of cases, for which it
was probably not intended. Even cler-
gymen hired abroad have been troubled
by it. On the border, in places like Cal
ais, it is almost impossible to enforce it
without doing great harm to American
and British interests alike. So far, at
this port, the inconvenience seems to be
coming almost entirely upon the steam
ers. But the frequent rumors that the
steamers will leave, while not true, give
nevertheless the disquieting reminder
that Portland is not quite SO pleasant a
placefor these profitable sojourners as
we could wish it to be.
