DOLLAR FRIENDLY
WITH FURUSETH
Steamship Man Says. That if
He Had Been Here Strike
Would Not Have Occurred
CONTEMPT CASE ON

.I was in China at the time of the
sailors union strike said Robert Dol
lar yesterday before Referee Clement
Bennett, "and when / returned | had no
difficulty in settling the whole matter
with Andrew Furuseth. secretary of the
sailors union. l found Mr. Furuseth
to be an intelligent. reasonable man.
and never had any trouble with him.
II had been here, the strike would not
have occurred at ALL
The witness is the head of the Dollar
line of steamships and had been called
by ]. W. Dorsey, counsel for the Ham
mond Lumber Company in the matter
of the contempt proceedings against
Furuseth and the striking unions.
Elias Ellison, assistant secretary of
the sailors union, testified that the
sailors had not had an increase in
wages since 1928. The increase of
s5 per month had been asked for
because of the increased cost of living
and the fact that wages in other
branches of industry had been raised.
1t had been asked for as matter of
necessity and justice and not because
the price of lumber and freights had
advanced. After the shipowners had
refused to grant the request of the
sailors, cooks and fremen, the sailors
union took a secret ballot as to wheth-
er there should be strike. and the
count made in the middle of May 1906
showed majority of ten TO one in
favor of striking. At that time Furu-
seth was in Washington and had moth
ing TO do with the matter.
In the conferences held between the
strikers committee and the shipown-
ers the latter were represented by the
United Shipping and Transportation
Association, in whose membership the
following companies We're represented:
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which
EMPLOYS Chinese sailors; Toyo Kisen
kaisha, which employs Japanese; the
Hawaiian Steamship Company. which
does not employ union men, ''as such,
and the Cosmos line, which is foreign
corporation.
Ellison testified further that the
great majority of the strikers went
uptown and obtained employ yment al
other occupations for good>wages. This
made material for union pickets very
| scarce and at one time there were only
eight on duty.
During the strike only one member
of the sailors union was convicted OF
assault, and that was Henry Hansen
who struck a nonunion sailor named
Johnson One of the union pickets was
shot dead while approaching non
union ship in a launch.
The witness admitted that he served
| as a picket and was in a launch thai
took crew of Kanakas off a nonunior
ship at the Mail dock. In reply to {
question by Attorney Dorsey he sait
that he did not remember having heard
/ Furuseth mention at any meeting thai
Judge Morrow had issued a restraining
/ order against the union.
lne investigation will be resumed a
/ 2 p. m. today.

SITE
FOR bOHEM|ANS

At meeting of the members of the
Bohemian Club last night a decision
was reached TO build new club home
on the northeast corner of Post and
Taylor streets. A large lot at this cor
ner was purchased by the club before
the fire for s125,000. The new building
according to present plans, will be
five stories in height and modern in
every particular.
The members of the club were di-
vided between the Post street site and
a location on Mob Hill. The majority
of the members, recalling the conve-
nience of a downtown location, such as
they formerly possessed, favored the
Post street site. The new building will

MARKET REPORT
Kansas City, Mo. Jan. q, 1877

Live stock receipts at Kansas City
last week.
The cattle market is strong to l5c
higher today on all killing grades, as
all the markets are lightly supplied
run here being only 10000 head. Last
week closed weak aad slow on killing
cattle, the soft weather having a bad
influence on trade and buyers expect
ing large supplies this week. The
enormous supply at Chicago last Mon
day enabled Eastern buyers to fill up
from there which reduced the demand
later IN the week. Today's supply
contains a good many we'll finished
cattle, different lots selling at $50 and
{. 40, numerous sales At $50 to els,
bulk of steers at AIS to $50. Cows
and heifers sold lower late last week,
but are scarce today and 10 to Is
higher than close of last week, cows
ranging from from 2.75 to $50 heifers
3 25 to 8. bulls not quito as strong as
they have been at 2.75 to 25, calves. q
quarter lower than week ago, best
veals I 25, heavy calves 1926 to 4 so,
Country demand continues undated,
although the storms late last week
caused buyers to stay at hsme and the
week closed with loss OF 10 to 20 cents
on stockers aud feeders. This loss is
being recovered today with u better
attendance Of buyers. Shipments to
countryslast week were $50 car loads,
yet the number Of thin cattle remain
ing in the yards at the close of the
week Increased 1900 head over the
number on hand previous Saturday.
Suckers sell mainly at $40 to $50,
feeders to AIS.
Hog prices made very small gain
last week, considering the close Satur
day against the close OF previous week
utprices were at higher figure all
week, finishing the week at lowest
point. Run is 5000 today and the
market 10 10 cent higher and equal
TO highest time last week, top 6.65,
bulk of sales $50 ~ $50. Supply was
SO, 600 head last week, which was 1000
less than corresponding week last year
Demand is stronger now than IL was a
year ago and although prices are l.2O
higher than then, still 1urJher advan
ces are confidently predicted.
Sheep run last week was $4,000 head
market about steady ali week. Run.
is 5000 today prices stronger, although
nothing very good is included, to test
prices. Top last week on she various
