60 BACK
To WORK
At NOON

The demands Of the strik-
ing lOngshoremen were
granted by the waterfront
employers today, following a
mediation conference i'm San
Francisco.
Nine hundred Tacoma
strikers were to go back to
work on the docks and ware
houses at noon, after they
had been officially notified
by Secretary Madsen in San
Francisco that the demand
for IS cents an hour and ~
overtime had been granted.
The settlement affected all
cities along the coast, and be-
tween 900 and $4,000 strikers
return to work under the increas-
ed wage scale.
The conference, which resulted
In a sweeping victory for the
longshoremen, was arranged be-
tween the employees and employ
ers by U. S. Commissioner White,
federal mediator, after several
unsuccessful attempts to bring Of
ficials OF both sides together.
Another Conference.
Another conference has been
arranged in San Francisco for
this afternoon to formally draw
up and ratify the new agreement.
There remains a slight dis
agreement over the arrangements
for loading ore at the Tacoma
smelter yet to be settled.
The news of the longshore-
mems victory was confirmed in
United Press dispatches from San
Francisco.
IOngshOremen Jubilant.
Tacoma longshoremen, who
have been anxious for an early
settlement, were jubilant.
The new wage scale. calls for
flat increase of 5 cents an hour,
and 40 cents an hour for over
time.
/, Coast shipping has been al
most completely tied up since the
walk out was ordered June /.
Want Shelter Work.
Reports indicate that the con-
ference has been unable to reach
an agreement on the demands Of
the longshoremen that they be
given the work of handling the
ore shipments at the Tacoma
smelter.
Under a contract with the
Guggenheim interests, all ore
cargoes, with the exception Of
shipments from South America,
have been handled by smelter EN-
ployes at a scale of 80 cents an
hour. The union has been as
sorting its right to handle this
work, demanding so cents an
hour and 81 for overtime.
A number of other minor de-
tails in the new agreement await
final settlement. Meanwhile the
longshoremen are back at work
on the new scale of wages.

vention for the presidential
nomination.
In nominatire Hughes Whit
man mentioned It's name and
was interrupted by we minutes

speech at 12:12 and a violent
demonstration began, lasting 20

the Michigan and Vermont dele
cations joined.
Butler then nominated Root

After order had been restored,
Gov. Willis, of Ohio. nominated
Burton.
To Ballot Tonight.
Balloting probably will not be-
gin until late this afternoon.
The convention is. slated to
nominate a president and vice
president before adjournment to-
night, although the leaders
doubted whether the progra m
would be adhered to strictly.
The Hughes demonstration,
though comparatively brief, was
the biggest, noisest of this repub-
lican convention.
Whitman characterized Hughes
as sterling in his republicanism.
free of factional strife, in private
life above suspicion, in public life
without flaw. a graf lawyer,
an effective campaigher, able ex-
ecutive and a mature salesman.
The demonstration for Burton
lasted "a minutes and ended at

The republican hosts received
the report of the harmony con-
ference without enthusiasm, and
promptly started to nominate
presidential candidates.

evoked a sporadic applause last

The attempt to have Roosevelt
invited to address the convention
was forestalled. Unanimous con-

resolution inviting him.

To BUILD
FISH PIER
Of STAG!

Carrying out suggestions
made by The Times several
months ago, Commissioner
Gronen today completed ne
gOtiatiens with the Tacoma
Smelling Co., whereby that
concern will furnish Stag
free of cost for rebuilding
the waterfront road, between
Old Tacoma and RustOn, and
for the erection of n break
water and fishermen's dock
at Old Tacoma.
The smelling company, through
Manager II. Y. Walker, eagerly
seized the opportunity to dispose
of it's Stag. A former city admin
istration had secuted the idea.
According to arrangements
made today, the smelter will i'm
mediately begin dumping Stag
along the waterfront road, which
is now built on a pile trestle.
1t has enough refuse ore to fill
a space 10 feet high, 10 feet wide
and $50 feet long each day.
Work will be begun at the
Ruston end of the roadway, and
extended south towards Old Ia
coma.
The smelter will furnish ore
cars and crews.
The city's expense will be
merely the trivial one of furnish
ing city water to spray the hot
Stag, as prevention of fire to the
present trestle.
After the roadway is cOmplet-
ed, work will begin on the Old
Tacoma breakwater.
This will extend north from Old
Tacoma, and will form COM
pletely protected inner harbor
for the fishing fleet ana Tor all
small craft that come to- Tacoma.
: 1T is the finest thing. that Ia
coma has obtained in many
years." said Gronen today I'VE
will get a permanent roadway of
solid rock, and 1t will not cost the
city penny.
Besides that, we will be able
to keep the fishing fleet In Ia
