SHINGLE MILLS
ALL CLOSE

EVERETT, Wash, June 2s.-The
shingle mills of Everett are all closed
today. The shut down is caused both
by the determination on the part OF
the employers to keep the mills closed
until after the Fourth and also because
the shingle weavers are unwilling TO
accept the reduced scale recently post
ed by the mill owners. The employers
all assert that when they are ready to
resume operations, they will pay no
more than the wages outlined in the
new scale, and that they will keep
their mills closed indefinitely unless
the men accede to them.
So far as can be learned, only one
mill would have started up this morn
ing had the men been willing TO work.
