SAILORS' STRIKE RESlllS
in mm
Union Men Attempt to Board Schooner to
Remove Non-Union Crew and get Fired
Upon-One Killed, Three Wounded
(Special Dispatch U> Daily Alaskan.)
San Francisco, June 18. ? A boat load
of union sailors attempted to board the
schooner National City to take off the
non-union crew which had been

Meville Dollar, the Rainier and Indi
ana arrived here since Saturday night
from San Francisco with non union
crews. Unionists lined up on the water
front and the Eureka and Melville Dol
lar remained in the stream. The
unionists have established; a night
guard on the water front.
SAILORS VVAVI
MORE MONEY
The sailors' strike, which started at
San Francisco and is spreading to Se
attle, is the result of a demand on the
>srt of the sailors, waiters and coal
Jasscrs for a raise of $5 per month in
iheir wages, which was refused. The
United Shipping and Transportation
Association of San Francisco, of which
ihe Pacific Coast Steamship Company
is a member, came to the assistance of,
the schooner owners. This is the cause
for the extension of the strike to that
company's Seattle fleet. The sailors
were receiving $45 per month and
asked $50. This, of course, includes
board and lodging.
The .Alaska Steamship Company,
the line operating to Nome and those
operating to the Westward have agreed
to stand by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company. Union labor, however, hag
not demanded an increase from them.
Sailors on the northern lines maka
much more than the stipulated $45 per
month for the reason that they get
double pay for night and Sunday work
whe discharging cargo.
ALASKA INDIANS
TO BRFAK STRIKE
Alaska Indians will be used with
which to break the ^sailors' strike at
Seattle and San Francisco. Lewis
Levy left for the south on the City of
