GENERAL
STRIKE IS
IMMINENT
All Moves in the Last
10 Days Point
to It.
SAY Fight IS COMING.

A general strike may be in pros
pect for Spokane. All the moves made
in the last 10 days point to a gen
the expression:
The fight Is coming some time
and it might as well come now"
The master builders are standing
pat in their dispute with the building
laborers, the foundrymen's associa-
ton in it's dispute with the iron mold
ers and the millowners are more de-
termined than any of the others not
to grant concessions to their striking
employees.
The most dangerous dispute and
the one which will force the general
tieup, if 1t comes, is the millmen's
strike. The strikers, apparently, have
done everything in their power to Sc
cure a settlement. sought arbitration
by invoking the state law and appeal
ing to the business organizations.
The millowners have steadfastly re-
fused to arbitrate, and, according to
the president of their association, Mr..
Van Dissel, in statement made to-
all appeals and protests, in the inten-
ton not to arbitrate. Said Van Dis
sci:
There is nothing to be said except
that we are unanimous. We have
made a sworn statement of our rea-
sons to State Labor Commissioner
Blackman and will soy no more"
This leaves no hope of an amicable
settlement and the millworkors will
be forced to their last resort--calling
out the carpenters. This move means
eventually that all building laborers
will be idle and all building opera
tions stopped.
The president of the foundrymen's
association. ]. NJ. Fitzpatrick, said to-
day that all the foundries in Spokane
would be shut down rather than yield
to the demands of sthe molders.
| The first move in this general tieup
will probably come sooner than the
general public expects and other
moves will follow in rapid succession.
| A number of non-union men are
expected from the east today TO take
the places of the strikers. Most of
| them are Hungarians. Systematic
advertising in the east for men is said
to have been carried on for same time
| in preparation of an anticipated
strike.
| The bricklayers at work on build
| ings where non-union assistants were
employed went on strike today. This
stops work on nearly every brick
building in town.

Operators Reslgning.

AS n result OF the decision of the
board of arbitration which passed up
on the new typographical union scale,
several members of that union have
resigned their positions and will leave
the city, Others state that they will

SCIENTIFIC DISCOV-
cry
4 Clinical preparation That Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.

A most important discovery has been
made after a years patient laboratory
work aimed in a certain direction 1t
is Newbro's Herpicide, a preparation
that cures badness, prevents falling
hair. and speedily and permanently
eradicates dandruff. These evils are
caused by q germ or parasite that bur
rows into the scalp, throwing up dan
druff, as it seeks to sap the life of the
hair at the root. There's no badness
without falling or thin hair. no thin
hair without dandruff, and no dandruff
if the germ is destroyed. Newbro's
Herpicile is the only preparation that
will do the work. Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect" Sold by lead
ing druggists. Send 10 cents in stamps
for samples to The Herpicide Co., De-
troit, Michigan.
