LONGSHOREMEN | STRIKE ‘QUIET"; RUMORS EXIST Kenai, After_Skagway Trip, May Be Met at Dock by Men Although Juneau's strike situation was “quiet’ ‘today, persistent rumors—none of which were denied or affirmed—indicated that the calm was but a false front % a problem which has not been splved For example, there was the ru- mor that a delegation of longshore- men, abetted by sympathizing min- ers and fishermen, planned to meet the Kenai when that vessel was longshore expected to reach the Pacific Coast Dock late this arternoon after mak- ihg a special run to Skagway. When the Yukon, vessel over which the strike arose when long- | shoremen refused to unload 227 tons of general freight on Sunday| ’ morning after removing mail and some express, left here Monday, she still carried Sitka freight as well as cargo for Juneau. Yesterday, at Skagway, she is reported to have transferred her Sitka freight to the Kenai, which makes a weekly | run from Juneau to Sitka. The Kenai was dispatched Skagway for this purpcse Sunday by R. J. McKanna, loecal) agent for the Alaska Steamship, Company. The Kenai was expect- ed to call for mail and passengers here late this afternoon. What the| purpose of the rumored gumering; of longshoremen and sympm.mzvrs‘ was, could not be determined today | either at the I. L. D. Hall or at| the steamship office. Another rumor, which was more fact than rinfor, was that the International Longshoremen’s Un- ion here was considering submit- ting its wage demands to a Fed- eral arbitration board for settle- ment. According to a spokesman, the longshoremen were meeting this afternoon to determine their action along this line.
