CANNERY WORKERS
DESERT
Harbor Patrol Arrests Deser
ters; They Allege Breach of
Contract; Company Claims
Money Due It
SEATTLE, April 26.—Sixteen Ori
ental cannery workers deserted the
ship Benjamin F. Packard yesterday
afternoon but were arrested by the
harbor patrol before they could es
cape. They alleged that they had
been held aboard the ship since Sat
urday when it failed to leave for
Bristol Bay because the company
couldn’t get a full complement on ac
count of the fishermen’s strike. The
Northwestern Fisheries Co., owner of
the ship, said the men had been
held aboard because they had made
such heavy withdrawals on their
salary account.
Labor organizations of Seattle are
coming to the rescue of the men and
are preparing to put up a legal bat
t’e for them, alleging that even
though the men have been given
wage advances that they cannot be
imprisoned indefinitely to suit the
convenience of the company.
CANNERIES MISREPRESENT
CONDITIONS TO EMPLOYES
A letter was received at Seward
last week from Andy Grosvold of
Sand Point who states that there are
a couple of men on the Starr, who
came North for the Union Fish Com
pany, hired for the station at Pirate
Cove and other places to fish for
the season, but owing to misrepre
sentations all of the crew quit. Some
throwing themselves on the mar
shal’s hands as vagrants to be sent
out at Territorial expense. The
two men arriving at Sand Point
1 ave been making .iust enough to
exist on and to pay their way from
port to port to their homes in the
States.
Grosvold declares this is not the
first time that this has happened
and it should be looked into by pro
per authorities. He says the agent
tells them to take their duds and
beat it to Sand Point, any time
they complain.
The men, he declares, are very
decent fe’lows.
