WAR OF UNIONS
ON PACIFIC COAST C. 1.0. Versus A.F.L. [Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] (Received September 17, 8.40 p.m.) PORTLAND (Oregan), September 17. Terrorists violence has flared up here in the labour organisations dispute on the Pacific Coast, as cabled on September 13th. A tug crew reported that a volley of shots were fired at them from the bridge. Three C. 1.0. mill workers allege a man fired a rifle at them. Captain Guy Gill, the tug master, said a gang of twenty boarded the boat, and tnrew him overboard. The incidents are attributed to the American Federation of Labour Unions of teamsters and carpenters, who have an embargo against the mills manned by C. 1.0. workers, of which mill several have been forced to close. Meanwhile the teamsters are tightening their embargo. San Francisco, and the ports along the entire coast from the North West lumber camps, are being transformed into a battleground.
