Of the pressmen's union and Gus
Erickson Of the millworkers' union.
The more conservative class Of Ia
Dor leaders are positively opposed to
the strike. They argue that such a
movement would bring about the ut
ter ruin of organized labor in Spokane
and that a bitter feeling Of hostility
would be engendered in the public
mind. A prominent member Of the
trades council, who desires his name
kept from publication. said:
eff the unions take this step they
will be jumping into trap set by
our enemies. In such cases men are
apt to enter into q strike without any
consideration. Here we have an in
stance of this kind. I, as man who
has the interest of organized labor
at heart, believe that 1t is the height
of absurdity for 1000 men to walk out
on account of four or five unskilled
mechanics"
In opposition to the argument
about ''unskilled mechanics" it is said
in answer by those who advise the
strike that they are fighting for prin-
ciple and not on account of the few
men over whom the trouble has been
stirred up.

Five unions last night endorsed the
action of the trades council in recon-
mending walkout in Spokane of all
union workers within two weeks. UNI
less the gas company agrees to the
demands Of union labor.
The action of the trades council
was brought up before all the unions
that met last night at Central Labor
hall and everyone Of them decided to
stand by the recommendation of the
council. In particular the BARRIERS
union took q determined position.
Hardly had the meeting been called
to order than the members began to
ask for the consideration of the
strike question. President Otis ad-
vised the adoption Of conservative
policy, but the members were radical
in their views and wanted the matter
settled at once. Many addresses Of
the philippe kind were made, and
when the question was finally put the
meeting rose en- masse and with a
vociferous voice voted in the affirma-
tive.
You may say from me-" said Pres
ident Otis, that the BARRIERS union
Is going to help the gas workers to
fight this thing to a finish. We never
go back on the trades council. The
report that we refused to fall In line
IL absolutely false"
The plumbers and steamfltters urge
the fight even more than the gas
workers. The members of the ex-
ecutive board state that It is custom
airy for the union 20 refer all such
matters to them. Said Mr.. Dempsey:
''Of all unions in the city none will
enter the strike with more enthusiasm
than the plumbers. The action Of the
trades council was brought up for
consideration last night. In accord
ance with FORM. It was placed in the
hands of the executive committee and
the eTkautive committee will lendorse
1t. l am a member of that COM
mittee, as are all the other officers of
the union"

The amalgamated sheet metal
workers would not give out any of the
proceedings Of their meeting. How
ever, the president of the union stated
this morning that the organization
would be found in line despite any
report to the contrary. Other men,
bers Of the union said that they never
fail to recognize the action Of the
trades council.
The shinsle weavers and the laun-
dry workers unions also voted to a
man to walk out, so that out Of the
five organizations that assembled last
night there was not one dissenting
voice.
e. c. Potts, a member Of the trades
council, in speaking of the position
that he took in the council when the
strike question came up, said this
morning:
Il don't want you to publish my
name, although I am not particular
whether you do or not. but wish to
state that. although I voted against
the measure in the council. am now
strongly in favor of 1t. Whatever our
views may be previous to a decision
of the central body, once 1t takes q
stand we always chime right in. The
gas workers can bank on me now"
About the largest and most innuen-
tial union in the city Is the building
laborers. An officer Of that organiza-
tion said today, "All want to say
Is. that the building laborers will GER
tainly vote in favor of the recon-
mendation of the trades council"
Prominent business men expressed
themselves today upon the best means
| in their estimation Of warding on the
trouble. No one doubts that a gen.
eral. strike will paralyxe the business
interests of the city and that 1t might
take long time to get over the evil
effects that would inevitably ensue.
The general opinion Is that an arbi-
| tration committee consisting Of 10
leading business men and 10 repre-
sentatives Of labor be appointed to
settle the matter with the gas COM
pany. The following names have been
