Scab Sailors.

The presence of crew of scab sailors
ripple of excitement on the water front
Monday night. The Azalia arrived in
Aberdeen last week and the crew, hav-
ing shipped here for the round trip, was
paid off. Now, the union wages for coast
seamen is $40 month this the captain
thought too high, so he sent TO Seattle
for $35 Il month. The scab crew was
met, ON their arrival here, by the Off
cials Of the Coast Scamen's Union, who
endpavorcd to desuadc them from work
ing for less theu union wages. In this
the union was unsuccessful and some Of
its hotheaded members conceived the
idea Of forcing the crew off anyhow. On
Monday evening the captain, fearing
that his crew would be interered with
that night, put a sailor on watch armed
with a large revolver. Along in the
night the watch saw party of about
fifteen men approaching the dock and at
the same time two boats in the river pull
| ling toward the schooner, containing five
men each. He gave the alarm and
another OF the crew came on deck armed
with an old shot gun which, unknown to
him. had disabled hammer. A parley
was about to be held when the shotgun
hammer came down OF it's own notion
and bang went the gun, scattering buck
shot and slugs in uncomfortable proxim-
ty to the invading party, which stood
not upon the order Of its going but, went.
The boats also departed and left the
Azalia in peace. 1t is good 16 to bet
hat the man with the shotgun was the
most surprised individual in the bunch,
whe the gun went off, but it served a
good purpose by scattering the crowd
without injuring anyone.
