HEAVY SEA RUNNING AT TIME
Lighthouse Tender Columbins's Bow
Driven In Foot--Will Be Drydocked
Lightship Damaged Also -
Inquiry 10 Probable.

An accident that might have ended In
disaster and the loss Of life, occurred
last Thursday morning when the gov
erDment Lighthouse tender Columbine
collided with Umatilla lightship No. 10
Of Cape flattery, staying in the port
side Of the. lightship midway between
the mainmast and the stern, and inAict

bow was bent Inward for fully foot
Luckily neither ship sustained any
damage below the water line.
The Columbine arrived in last night
from her trip along the coast TO supply
the different light stations and reported
The accident.
At the time the collision occurred a
heavy sea WAS running. The lighthouse
tender which was bringing supplies to
the light, had approached rather close,
when a heavier sea than usual carried
her forward with such suddcnness she
struck the lightship head on, before a
move could be made 10 turn aside and
avoid the smashup.
The Columbine was Immediately
backed away, and the injuries Of both
ships examined. The lightship, though
the side was smashed In considerably.
sustained no injury below the water
line, though she will likely be compelled
to enter port to undergo repairs.
The damage to the Columbine win
necessitate her being sent into dry-dock
where the damages can be tended to.
Captain Richardson. of the Columbine
could not be found last night and no
statement wac obtained a. TO where
the blame lay for the accident. Mem
bers Of the crew, would say nothing in
this connection. An inquiry and inspec-
tion will no doubt be made by govern
ment officials into the circumstances Of
the affair.
About year ago the Manzanita was
in a collision and the lighthouse tender
Heather but a short time ago suffered
some minor damage from an accident
OF a similar nature, and II almost seems
that some sort of hoodoo hangs over
lighthouse tenders in this district.

.IRON-WORKERS ON
STRIKE
FIFTEEN QUIT THEIR BENCHES
AT ASTORIA IRON WORKS FOR
WHAT IS DEEMED BEST OF
CAUSE.

Yesterday morning the Is employees
Of the Astoria Iron Works went out on
strike.
The cause OF the strike had nothing
whatever to do with wages nor hours,
but was based solely on the issue of
the employment of non-union me-
chanic.
It seems that some time ago Finn
went to work in the shops as machin-
ist, who was neither a good mechanic
nor union man. His presence was not
resented by the members of Astoria
Union. No. 26. |. A. of NJ, but he was
urged to get card, either from the
place he claimed to have worked at his
trade back east or to join the union
here. He could do neither the one nor
the other. He had tried for card back
there he said, but it had been denied
him on the ground that he was not a
iron worker under the requirements Of
the union; and the union here rejected
him on the same identical score.
The situation was anything but pleas
ant for him at works here, as he was
not qualified in any way to mingle with
the men on union or q workmanlike
basis. He approached one of the opera
tives the other day, by the name of
W. R. Glennon, and said he believed he
would quit, and take up some other line
of employment, until he could square
himself as master workman; and
Glennon told him it would be the best
thing he could do,
He went to the office and demanded
his time, and on being questioned as to
his reasons for quitting, said that he
had been told to quit, and when asked
who had told him this he referred to
Mr.. Glennon. Glennon was called to the
office and paid off at once, and the Finn
retained on the rolls.
This forms the sole basis for the ac-
tion of the men, who have nothing else
in the world against the company, and
are all tried and competent men who
have been with the concern for more
OF less long periods. There was no
effort to dictate in the premises, and
the men struck simply because union
man and an excellent workman was dis
