LABORERS WILL BE BROUGHT HERE Lumbermen Will Not Wait on the Union Men Again NO CHANGE IN IHE SI ILA HON A Number of Hands Will Go to Work this morning and Others Will be Brought to the City as Soon as Possible. The strike olf the longshoremen took no new turn yesterday; none of those who went out Saturday returned to work, not because it was Labor day, but for the reason that they have de cided, at a meeting, not to return un til an agreement has been made with the lumbermen to pay them fifteen cents per hour permanently. The mer chants say that they have granted the increase, that the men went to w-olrk on Saturday and then quit and they do not iuitend to make any con ti act, nothbig of the kind having been done before. The is the status of the situation. A large fleet of vessels is now in port, and something will have to be done. It is true that probably every lumber company in the city will bo able to get gangs to work this morn ing but they will not have enough labor to meet the demand. The merchants do not intend to wait longer on the union. They ex pect to at once get lo borers to the city from some source and will keep them here permanently. “With proper police protection,” said a leading lumberman yesterday, “we can get and keep as many lab orers as we need along the bay. Last week the strikers endeavored in ev ery way to frighten them out of the city, but they did not succeed. Now that tlier union has atgaini declared u strike, for no cause whatever, I think the best plain is to import men. We can get them very easy. All of tho scabs who were at work last week were discharged Saturday after the union returned to work, but I think a (majority of them are still in the oily and we will have them at work tomorrow ” It was rumored yesterday that the gangs employed by the Southern Pino company, N. Emanuel & Cos., and one or two toithers, who have been pay ing 15, would return to work this morning but the leaders of the union would not verify the report when seen by a representative of the News. Why the gangs employed by these compan ies struck is not known Labor un ion leaders say that they understood that the firms had entered an agree ment to reduce the pay after Sept. 1.
