STRIKE 81 UATION
The Three STEAMERS IN PORT
Being LOADED QUIETLY.
Strikers Exhibit Weakness by PsmphIeteerine
and Painting Doors Of Newspaper Offices
an Anarch'stic Red. Aside From q Few
Bouts Last Night. Things are Quiet.

The strike situation remains as it was
last Thursday, and advices from the
head center at San Francisco contain
nothing to indicate an early settlement.
The Grace Dollar has sailed from the
Dryden " Leitch mill with a non. union
crew, and the Coronado, Centralia and
Santa Monica are being loaded under
police protection. no violent efforts being
used to stop them, although every hgiti-
mate means are being used to induce
the leaders to stop work. Notices have
been sent from Aberdeen to Seattle and
other coast ports advising laborers to
stay away from Grays Harbor until the
difficulty is adjusted.
Several scraps are reported last night
between logsers and sailors, in which it
is said the loggers took first money. To
prevent possible clash between the log.
gers and sailors, Manager Mack did not
close the Slade logging camps Saturday
night as he intended. The companv's
log boom is full OF logs, but Mr.. Mack
decided to run the camps this week
rather than bring the men down from
the woods while the present feeling ex.
ists any sooner than he could help. The
camps will, OF course, clio next Satur.
day, by which time it is hoped the diff
Guilty will either be settled, or the temp r
OF the men be cooled.
On Saturday night the doors OF the
Bnlletin office and entrance to Masonic
hall, in the Masonic Temple, were
smeared with red paint, OF the true
anarchist shade, presumed to have been
done by some Of the mental H.; hit weights
among the strikers who disapprove OF
the attitude Of the evening paper on the
strike. The same evening IA pamphlet
was circulated on the sire ts by the
Grays Harbor Trades and Labor Council,
devoted to the abuse of the Bulletin and
HERALD, which papers are accused of
being subsidized by the mill men, and
appeals to the prejudices of all union
men.
Those methods are regarded generally
as signs Of weakness, the smeariag of
doors being quite childish, and the pam.
phet is recognized as shrewd attempt
to injure business competitors by the
proprietors of the Grays Harbor Post,
which is owned by the unions.
So far as the HERALD is concerned, the
statements can only be truthfully de-
scribed as wilful and malicious lies. Tie
HERALD admits being subsidized, but it's
subsidy comes from the largest number
OF readers Of any paper on Grays Harbor
OF all classes-not from the mill owners.
A newspaper owes duty to the public
veal that should always stand first, and
while this paper lays no claim to infali.
bilty, and is ready to rectify any mis-.
statement it may make, it has but re.
corded facts in this controversy, and it
entertains no fear that its readers and
patrons will be found with a grade OF in
telligence so low as to be misled BY this
tricky attempt OF a competitor to use the
misfortunes OF the city to boost it's busi-
ness.
The attitude of the HERALD on CUES.
tions affecting the welfare of Aberdeen
never requires to be guessed at 1t can
always be found supporting the side that
will do the most good to the greatest
number, and will never be found irving
to make capital out OF public calamity
