SHIPPING STRIKE
TROUBLE AT VANCOUVER VESSELS LOADED UNDER POLICE GUARD 3000 WORKERS IDLE
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Vancouver, June 5.
A dramatic development in the long threatened dock strike to tie up Vancouver port occurred when the Shipping Federation ' declared all union workers discharged following their refusal to load newsprint on the steamer Anten on the grounds that it had been handled by non-union longshoremen at Powell River.
The provincial police manned the docks and a boatload of non-union men started loading the Anten, while two Government patrol boats cruised around the vessel, which later sailed for Australia.
The Empress of Japan on her arrival was unloaded under a police guard. Fifteen deep-sea vessels are in the port. Three thousand workers are idle.
