Captain Thomas Brakely, a retired
sea captain of San Francisco, was in
the Portland yesterday en- route to the
Sound, where he contemplates making
a pleasure trip to the north on one Of
the sealers which are now fitting out
at that port. Though taking no part
in the trouble between the sailors and
shipowners at San Francisco, he has
yet watched the matter with much in
terest.
There is no doubt that the sailors
are carrying matters too far" said he,
"but there is much justice in their COM
plants. They demand higher wages
and better food, and it is a notorious
fact that in both of these instances
they are inadequately supplied. They
are losing public symtathy, though, on
account of many anarchical methods
which are attributed to them. The or
ganized shipowners are renewing their
efforts to win the fight, which has now
been waging for the past three months.
1t is claimed that the shipowners are
far stronger than they were in the be-
ginning, and several owners who re-
fused at first to join the Shipbuilders'
and Shipowners' Association, are now
recognized members and are taking
an active part in the fight against the
seamen."
