SUCCEED IN LOADING HER.
vancouver's 'Longshoremen Unable
to Prevent the Queen From TAX
ing Cargo,a That Point.

Superintendent Trowbridge, of the Pa
cifc Coast Steamship Company, returned
yesterday from Vancouver, where he sue
ceeded in loading the steamship Queen,
despite the 'longshoremens strike. 1t was,
he stated a task accomplished with much
difficulty.
Mr.. Trowbridge says the mayor of VAN
couver treated the company with courtesy
and even kindness in the matter OF police
protection, but that the union 'longshore-
men We're persistent and annoying in their
tactics to prevent the loading of the
Queen, except by themselves.
The situation" Mr.. Trowbridge oo-
served, lis about this: We want to name
the head stevedore and have him direct
the 'longshoremen. The union wants TO
name the steyedore, and because We would
not permit it the 'longshoremen went on
strike. There is no dispute as 10 wages
and no objection on our part to union men.
They not only want ia name the mead
stevedore. but they also say ne shall not
do longshore work. In other words, they
want straw boss. Again, our own train
ed stevedores know best how we want to
handle cargo This of itself is matter
of much weight
THE Queen has her load. We had
her sailors truck cargo ONO the
vessel. where it was handled by
other men. We could not take foreigners
into Vancouver and have them work on
the docks, but a vessels own sailors can
go on the docks and truck freight aboard.
Then we hired "a lot of Japanese. They
gave us some assistance, but they finally
quit work at the request of the Japanese
consul OF Vancouver, who took the posi-
ton that his own countrymen should not
under the circumstances of the strike con-
tinue to work for 10 cents an hour which
wages we were paying them But with
the consul 1t did not appear 10 be the
amount of wages paid. but rather a de-
sire not to offend the Vancouver long
shoremen and officials"
