crew for the return passage from San
Francisco to Honolulu in ease the
strike at the Coast place should de-
velop to such an extent that the YES
sells sailing might be stopped or de-
layed for some time. It is believed
that when the Alameda arrives at San
Francisco the present crew viii leave
the vessel In that case the duplicate
crew from Honolulu can be put 10
work and the vessel despatched on her
usual time or close 10 1t.
When II became known about the
front that sailors were to be shipped a
big crowd OF Porto Rieans ana others
gathered at the Oceanic dock. Some
applied for jobs in the fire-room. or
rather, on-room, for the Alameda is
an oil-burner and others in the stew
ard 5 department. However. a crew of
Hawaiians was selected for the deck
and nine or ten Porto Rieans engaged
for the fre-reom- There were probably
about fifty Porto Rieans ON hand sooH
after the news was abroad. and even
the police took a hand IN getting them
there for even a respite OF three or
four weeks surveillance over the Porto
Rieans would be something.
On the corners near the dock union
men gathered. When a non-union man
passed by, a few words of suggestion
would he passed quietly to him. Non
unionists were advised 10 quit when
they got to San Francisco. It was all
done jocosely, but that's their way of
putting a matter seriously.
The steward s department viii prob
ably have no changes. At least, none
are contemplated now.
