R. president of Struthers & 4 ship operators of San Fran- cisco and Seattle. Struthers is in "the city on one of his frequent vis- ‘its. The strike, he says, has given shipping men a chance to reorgan- ize their business on a pre-war basis, Local operators are heartily in favor of the stand taken by Admiral Benson, chairman of the shipping board, who declares that strikebreak- ers will not be discharged as a con- dition of ending the walkout. * eee Statement Issued by Marine Unions ‘The following resolutions have been adopted by the Marine Engineer ‘Beneficial association, the masters, mates and pilots of the Pacific, the Marine firemen, oilers and water- tenders of the Pacific, marine cooks stewards of the Pacific, wireless ors and the sailors’ union of = Pacific: | “Resolved, that this union has en- ' gaged in the present controversy solely in self-defense and because ves- gel owners and operators, without consultation with the union or its and national officers, arbitrarily | put into effect a scale of wages and regulations concerning hours and conditions of labor, and after nu- merous conferences informed the of. ficers of the national organization that their action in the memises was definite and would not be altered. -“Imasmuch 48 the scale thus ar- bitrarily put into effect and insisted ‘on cut the wages of all employes be longing to the union 25 per cent, and Made onerous and unjust changes in the regulations regarding hours and conditions of labor, nothing was left the men of the union but to accept the lockout thus effected and to de- cline to work further on the terms “Resolved further, that this union 4s loyal to the laws and the govern. ment of the United States, and that it intends to cbnduct its efforts to Mm protect the rights and interests of its “members in a lawful and peaceful manner, and that it will not counte- Nance at the hands of its members force, violence, intimidation or other conduct not in strict consonance with the laws of the land, and that it will hold any of its members to strict ag compliance with this resolution, ‘ “Resolved further, that we appeal | to the public for its sympathetic co operation in our lawful efforts to pro- i} tect against starvation wages and de- fai) —s- structive hours and conditions of la- { bor the men who man our ships, and q by their skill and devotion protect }} the lives and property of our people } from the perils of the sea.” 3 British Slain in Irish Ambush DUBLIN, June 2—Three British _ soldiers today lost their lives in a Sinn Fein ambush in County Kerry.
