UNION MINERS
STILL ON TOP

ISSAQUAH, Aug 9.-lt was an
nounced yesterday that the Issaquah
Coal company had abandoned the
idea of utilizing non-union miners in
the works and would shut down en-
tirely for an indefinite period. Mon
day morning the first installment of
the 20 non-union miners employed
underground left Issaquah, and the
others will leave today.
The strike is as far from settle
ment as ever. The miners are in
even better shape to withstand a long
siege than at first, as the United
Mine Workers of American has rec
ognized the strike and a day or so
ago made the announcement that
until the matter was settled, the
strikers should have the regular al
lowance of $8 a week apiece to keep
them going.
State Labor Commissioner Black
man stated a few days ago that, in
his opinion, the contention of the
men was just and that the company
had broken it's agreement with them.
He made the statement in reply to
a claim made by the general manager
of the Issaquah Coal company that
Mr.. Blackman had announced that
the company was in the right in ev-
cry particular.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-08-09

The announcement marks the first
long step in the passing of the lum-
Der industry in this region, an in
dustry which has made scores of
millionaires, built countless towns
and furnished employment for hun
dreds of Thousands picturesque
industry with its traditions of deeds
of extraordinary daring, its rough
men in strange garb, its bosses who
ruled small armies of turbulent spir-
its, and its mixed dialect of French,
indian and Swedish phrases.
The man who has made perhaps
the greatest fortune out of logging
on the upper Mississippi river and
the Chippewa is f. w. Weyerhaeuser
of st. Paul, who has been called the
lumber king of the world His for
tune has been variously estimated at
from $50,000,000 to $4,000, 900,
and is, of course constantly increas-
ing. Beginning at Rock Island, ILL.,,
as humble employee in a lumber
mill, he rose rapidly to a pre-emi-
nent place. Along the upper Missis-
sippi the river men speak of the up
per part of the stream now as "Wey-
erhaeuser's ditch"
Logs in almost incredible quanti-
ties at one time swept through the
booms of the Mississippi River Log
ging company. This season only So
100000 feet were RATED. In the
palmy days of the industry 10 or 10
years ago 100000 feet day
throughout a long season was not an
unusual average.
Edward Douglas of Winona, SUI
perintendent of the logging company
and who has been in it's employ since
its foundation, says that the record
run was in the early COS, when 6S7,-
100000 feet of pine were RATED and
delivered to the owners or their ag-
ents, to be towed to down river
mills.
The logging industry on the Chip
pewa river first attained prominence
in 1868 when the Beef Slough Man
ufacturing, Log Driving & Transpor-
tation company was formed. The
promoters of this company were sue
cessful beyond their widest hopes.
For years they controlled the raft
ing on the river, ran the biggest
camps in the world and made for
tunes. Then in 1871 practically the
same group of men, who had by this
time obtained monopoly of the
great forests along the Chippewa riv-
er, formed the Mississippi River Log
ging company, and RATED out logs
for all the members of the pool
as they were cut from year to year.
Up to 16 years ago, Beef Slough
in Wisconsin, 10 miles above Alme,
was the scene of the rafting opera
lions, AMI then the lumber men, ac-
tuated by what they believed to be
unjust taxation laws in Wisconsin,
removed the rafting works to the
Minnesota side of the river at West
Newton:

TRANSFERS WILL
ASK FOR MORE

When J. B. Wright, a teamster,
received his warrant at the city hall
yesterday he claimed that it was
Sc less than the contract price. Al
though the city ordinances explicitly
state that the wages Of teamsters
shall be 81 per day, Mr.. Wright ale
leges that Foreman owen Woods
hired him for II days at the rate
of $3.50 per day. Mr. Wright will
ask the city to pay him the SIS diff
ference between the regular and the
contract wages.
At a recent council meeting, the
city fathers voted down an ordinance
the object of which was to raise the
teamsters' wages to $3.50 per day,
and j. B. Wright will probably have
to settle the question with Foreman
Woods.
1t is understood that this is a
test case and that other teamsters
will join a movement to enforce the
payment of the price agreed upon.
