City of Seattle Oficers and the white
Walters.
Relative to the strike of the cooks and walters
On the steamer City of Seattle, on Tuesday, d.
c. Stevens, the company's agent, yesterday had
the following to say:
I've are not especially anxious to say any
thing about the matter. The waters simply re-
fused to eat in the hold with the second officer
and fremen. There was no question regarding
what they had to eat, but where they should eat
it. II the hold is good enough for the second
officer and hremen, il is good enough for the
hunkeys. Other steamers have similar rules,
and they find no objection, but with those on
the Seattle the trouble is they have been treated
too well. It is the company's prerogative 10
establish such reasonable rules and those who
do not care to observe them don't need to stop
on the boat. We have full force of new men
who are willing to observe the rule"
The executive committee of the White Cooks
and Walters Union held meeting last night to
consider the question of having the white cooks
return to work on the City of Seattle. The cooks
who struck with the walters were all members
OF the union, and struck without the knowledge
OF the union and in fact in violation of its rules
which require that a reasonable notice should
be given. Only two of the waters were mem
bers of the union, and therefore the union had
no jurisdiction over them. The question was
discussed at some length, and it was finally de-
cided 10 "scab" the boat until such time as the
company withdraws the Objectionable rule
The union men maintain that no other boat on
the sound has such rule, and that it is in di-
rect violation of all laws of custom to require
walters to eat in the hold.

THE CONTEST WAS STOPPED.
Prfzefight Between Boys Broken Up by
Policeman.

policeman.
Young Manning. OF Seattle, and ssTubsey."
Portland celebrity, aged IA and 10 years re-
spectlvely, were RECALLING about sixty young
friends with sparring match about $50 last
night in barn il an alley off Blanchard street
between Front and Second, when they were
rsided and the contest stopped by Officer
"Long John Kelley.
The barn is q two-stoTy structure and is
peEehsd in an angle of a small bluff, seventy
feet above the level of Front street. The lower
floor had been staked of and the two boys, in
fighting costume, entered the ring, while their
bottie-holcers stood in readiness with water and
towels. The officer learned that there was to he
a ''prtZefght' in the barn, and started down
the alley, but six Juvenile guards who were
patrolling up and down near the scene
he knew would give the alarm. so he
walked down Front street until he was opposite
the barn, and then commenced climbing up
ward through the tall brush, grass and briar-
wood that lines the bluff He reached the door
TO the upper floor OF the barn unobserved and
stood full in the doorway.
'what are you doing here" he shouted, in an
awful voice.
In an instant the barn was empty. The boys
few out OF the place and went pell-meIl down
the steep bluff through the brush like regi-
meut of jack rabbits. One little fellow went
smash against picket fence. He stood up and
his face was covered with blood. He was helped
across the street and disappeared in the dark
ness. Young Manning and the two bottle-hold-
ers were caught while wedged in q small win
dow through which all three were trying to
escape at the same time
"Please, sir, I'm Commissioner Manning's
boy" pleaded the urchin. "We were only CIV
ing an exhibition"
The officer lectured the boys and then sent
them home TO their mother with the admonition
that they give no more exhibitions.

w. L. Bailey Comes to Terms with the
Carpenfefs.

Carpenters.
At the meeting of the Western Central Labor
Union last night the boycott on the Press Tines
was again the principal subject for discussion,
with the result that IL was decided 20 raise It.
IL was brought up By the reading of q letter
from w. Z. Bailey, offering TO pay s. 50 per day to
carpenters for nine hours work and not discrim-
mate against union men, but employ an equal
number of them with the non-union men, ac-
cording TO competency. II was voted TO raise
the boycott on the Press Tfma and the Gunran-
tee Loan and Trust Company
Notice was read from the MiIlmen's Union
that the union had withdrawn its delegates
from the Central body The cause of the action
was dissatisfaction resulting from the manner
In which the Central union had treated the
millmen's strike.
Abe Spring was elected member OF the boy
colt committee.
The invitation Of the Fourth OF July commit
tee Tor the organization 20 participate in the
Fourth of July celebration was read and re-
ferred to the local unions

giving notice of boycott on the valves,
hydrants. etc, manufactured By the Rensselaer,
Manufacturing Company, as q result of a strike
which has been kept up over year. was read.
The question OF placing boycott on King
county coal was laid over until the San Francis
co Federation OF Labor and other labor organi-
cations on the Coast can be heard from.
The committee having charge of the miners
trouble reported the settlement with the Black
Diamond Company: but there was nothing of
special interest TO report from the other mining
camps.
The trouble between Harms & Dickman and
the White Cooks and Waters Union was not
acted upon by the executive committee. The
COMMITTEES was instructed to take immediate &C
ton.
AT the request of the Brewery Workmen's
Union boycott was placed on all Eastern beer
which is being sold in the city, as it is being
made by non-union men who took the places of
the locked-out members of the union.
