VICTORIA HELD AT A. J. DOCK
 AS ILA BALKS
To C al Longshoremen Re- fuse to Work Mine Car
 go for Second Time

IOi bllC oCCOliO IiliiC tillo WCthi movement of Alaska Juneau Gold Mining freight was delayed. This morning, the Juneau local of h. ternational Longshoremen's Asso- station held up an inbound cargo of supplies for the mine on the steamer Victoria from Seattle.
 On Monday, action of longshore- men prevented the loading of the southbound steamer Northwestern with gold concentrates.
 In both cases, George Cox, dele- gate of the ILA local, told M. J.. Wilcox, Alaska Steamship Company agent here, that no member of his organization would work A. J. cargo He gave as his reason the fact that the mine was operating in the face of continued walkout by the Alaska Mine Workers Union. He intimated that the local ILA men would not go through Alaska Mine Workers Union picket lines to unload at the Alaska Juneau Dock.
 Northwestern Held
 On Monday, the ship yas not dispatched to the Alaska Juneau Dock from her usual berth at Paci- fic Coast Dock. Wilcox was told, before he planned to order the ship to the mine wharf, that the ILA men would not load the concen- trates aboard the ship. He also learned, after a conference with the marine union delegates aboard the ship, that the sailors would move Lie ship to the Alaska Juneau Dock, but would not get up steam in the winches in the advent that com pany employees offered to load the concentrates.
 A similar situation developed to- day. The Victoria, which arrived here at midnight, moved over to Douglas early this morning, then berthed at the Alaska Juneau Dock for the purpose of unloading car- go of mine supplies.
 Outside the gates of the dock, the Alaska Mine Workers Union had picket force on Lower Front Street practically all night. At T o'clock this morning, when Deputy United States Marshals and city policemen took up positions near the gate, the pickets were es- timated at 50 men.
 Again Refuse
 After the ship had berthed, the winches did not move. Delegate Cox, when asked by Wilcox earlier to have a crew of longshoremen at the dock to unload the supplies, had told the Alaska Line agent again that his men would not go through picket lines to work.
 Arrangements were then made to have the regular Alaska Juneau longshoremen crew handle the freight. However, marine union men, temporarily, refused to move the supplies. Two delegates-one from the Sailors Union of the Paci- fic and another from the Pacific
  Coast Firemen, Water Tenders and Wipers ASsociation-went ashore to send advices to Seattle, request ing advice from their headquarters as to what action should be taken
 Still Tn Port
 At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, the Victoria was still at the Alaska Juneau Dock, while marine union delegates awaited telegraphic in- structions. She was to have sailed for Skagway at noon.
 It was substantially reported in the city, earlier in the week, that the local ILA had received instruc- tions from it's district headquarters in Seattle that the present walkout of the Alaska Mine Workers Union was not authorized by the ILA. However, Delegate Cox denied this, and Wilcox professed no knowledge of such a report.
