troversy.

ing wherever there is work for them TO
do. That there is not more work is due.

many vessels not directly involved have

Ar. HAMMoND's STATEMENT.
The statement issued by A B. Ham
rnond for the United Shipping and
Transportation Association follows;
Mr.. Furuseth. through the press this
morning submits the following cues
rions for me 10 answer;
Now let me ask MI Hammond some
questions Were you not. MI Ham
rnond on board the Ravaln during the
fire and did you not say IN the hearing
OF several men that this was an op-
portuue time 10 20 after the unions Of
his city7 Did you not say that. if
San Francisco were 20 be built up, II
would not be by men working uhoer
union rules and regulations, hod car
riers receiving $3.50 per day. Did Eou
not say 70 me that the eX2ctions OF the
unions particularly The building
trades must be overcome IL the city
is 70 be rebuilt
The shipping interests have, 50 far
declined 10 discuss questions not d.
rectly connected with the controversy
which brought about thS strike ano, II
Mr.. Furuseth viii follow the same plan
@bev believe il viii be shown TO the
public that he has violated ms agree
ments with the Steamship Ass0ciS ton
and hes knowingly mlxrepressnteo the
facts through the press
For nv part I do not believe that
the public Is interested IN the lnelFlo-
ual opinions of either Mr. Furuseth or
rnySeff before or after the IRE and
probably il would be more sensible 10
ignore entirely his question irrelevant
derstand that he has been circulating
these reports through the labor unions
and failure 70 refute AZ TINS tme m1shI
give them some semblance OF truth,
desire 10 say that / was not on BOARD
the Rsvaln during the fre. that the
vessel did not enter this haroor until
the Friday night after the fire, and
did nos step on her after she came
here. I did not make the remarks ne
attributes 20 ne l knew as Wen = =
he calls them. Were not receiving - 50
per cay either before the fire or after II
CRITICIsEs FURUSETH-
The only resident Of San Francisco
who sought 10 take advantage Of its
helpless condition tos advance his per
Fonal interests regardless OF the injury
that he would infiict upon the COM
munfty was Andrew Furuseth- He did
This bv the mendacious reports. IN re-
gard 10 conditions in san Francisco.
1hich he circulated over the Union.
and BY ignoring and repuoiating upon
bis return TO this city the resolution
of the members OF the Sailors Union,
rassed during his absence. 10 continue
Working at the same wages that they
received before the fire.
In regard 10 my conversation with
him about the Building Trades, this is
not the time TO discuss that question,
aS IL is not connected with the issue
and Mr. Furuseth is in no way con-
cerned and does not understand II
When responsible parties directly con-
cerned desire 70 DO so. i am ready 70
discuss the proposition with them
As Mr Furuseth evidently thinks
that the public would be interested IN
sornethinE that I did not say and lest
he NAV think that ] have no views on
the question Of rehabilitatins this city,
will state that i do not believe that
outside capital can be induced 70 come
