ALIEN CONTRACT LABOR LAW.
A Test Case May Be Made in This City by
Longshoremen Society.

A test case may soon be made in this
city of the alien contract labor law, and
If it is done the proceedings will be in
stituted by the Longshoremeen' union.
The general cause of complaint Is that
a large number of Canadians are en-
ployed around the steamship DOCKS and
are. willing to work for Is cents an hour,
while the Portland longshoremen de-
mand demand 80 cents an hour, the Ca
nadians naturally have the call for the
work
Agent Smith of the Grand Trunk said
to reporter: II know there are quite
q number of Canadians employed around
the steamship docks, but none of them
are hired by the Grand Trunk. Our poll
oy is to employ only citizens Of Portland.
I think quite likely that some of the stew
edores have a considerable number OF
Canadians in there employ. but that is
something we have nothing to do with.
All our checkers are Canadians, but this
is matter of necessity, for the checkers
must thoroughly understand their bust
ness, as it would be impossible to find in
experienced men to take their places.
A prominent member of the Longshore-
mems union when asked to give his YER
sion of the matter. said: "The Portland
longshoremen do not think 1t is right
hatsCanadians should be brought here
to take their work. There are dozens OF
Canadians working In the steamship
freioht sheds while MANY of our men are
unable to find any work. The Cana
dams work for Is cents fan hour, while
the Iongshoremen demand 80 cents an
hour for day work and 35 cents an hour
at night. OF course it is for the interest
of the steyedores. and the railroad compa-
ny to bring Canadians here when they
will1work for that price, but we do not
think it is right, and think the union
will take some action in regard to it. =
