MAY END
TROUBLE

Important Developments are ex-
pected from the strike OF bottlers
which took place Thursday at San
Francisco. although nothing fur
Their has been learned locally about
the progress Of the California walk
out.
The Seattle Brewing a. Mailing
company. which Is practically a
trust. sells beer twice as cheaply in
California as In Seattle. In this
city II il able 20 charge any price
Il desires, but In San Francisco and
other California cities It has been
forced 10 cut prices on account Of
competition.
The company has been sending,
II Is said Is trainloads OF beer to
San Francisco every week. After
paying freight. the company is able
to put the beer on the San Fran
cisco market twice as cheap as in
Seattle. Union men claim that
there are two reasons for this. One
is that local prices are exorbitant
The other is that San Francisco
brewers are paid higher wages than
are paid In Seattle
II the San Francisco strike and
boycott Is effective il will probably
force the brewing company to some
sort OF terms with the strikers. Not
oven an opulent trust can afford TO
lose business amounting to as
carloads a day as we'll as its grip
on the trade OF n whole state.
