LABORS' c. REALM

The statements which have ap-
peared in the telegraphic columns
J of the various newspapers that the
printers of Seattle would 60 on a
strike because the employers who
remained members of the union
would not pay strike assessments,
is not founded on fact. To under
stand the situation properly it
might be we'll to state that many
employing printers retain their
membership in the typographical
union long after they have succeed
ed in es tablishing lucrative bust
ness. This is the situation in Seat
tie and the proprietors, many of
whom never touch piece of type,
object to paying the heavy strike
assessment. In majority of in
stances the most that can be done
with these members will be to re-
fuse them the use of the Allied
Printing Trades label.
The United Shipping and Trans
portation association of San Fran
cisco has thrown down the gauntlet
to the sailors union, which recently
order a strike, and now all work
on the water front has ceased. The
lockout came as a surprise. More
than $50 stevedores were loading
the Korea when the news was re-
ceived, and all quit work.
This morning an investigation by.
representative of The Press
proved that all the linemen en-
ployed by the Washington Water
Power company, who went out on
strike, were again employed, they
having found employment with
other concerns. The despatch with
which the men found employment
shows the immense amount of con-
struction work being done in and

around Spokane. There is still a
strike committee of 10 in charge of
the strike, but this committee will
be reduced from day to day, as
there is no need Of keeping so large
a force to carry on the strike. The
local unions have appointed pickets
and are otherwise aiding as far as
possible in the conduct of the
strike.

Agent Clifford reports the union in

good shape as at present.
The resolution recently adopted
by the Central Labor Union,
which sought to have credentials
OF delegates from the various
unions presented when the meeting
was called to order, was declared
unconstitutional by the president
as it infringed on the rights of
unions. Several unions are unable
to leave work until p. m, and
consequently they objected to the
new law as working hardship on
their delegations to the central
body.

FOR THE WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIP

SEATTLE, Dec. 1.-THE nerve Of
the Seattle high school lads in bring
ing a football team to Seattle from
Chicago to play for the interscholastic
championship Of the West is every
where commented upon favorably, and
the boys probably will be rewarded
by the biggest crowd that ever turned
out to a football game in Seattle New
Years Day, says the Seattle Times.
Nothing like this trip was ever even
contemplated by a high school team
before Years ago the Michigan team,
then in its glory, made a trip to Cali
fornia to play Stanford and Stage once
took a Chicago team out there during
the holidays. Both these trips were the
talk of the athletic world at the time
But for high school team to travel
half across the continent to play a
game of football was not even dreamed
VI d lew years dSO, IluCIl ltSS ldlhcu u.
The Seattle team this year is I'M
questionably the best on the coast and
the Northwest. The North Division
school won the championship of Chica-
go and the Middle West, defeating the
Hyde Park school, which turned out
such great players as Eckersall and
the Hammond boys, so that the winner
Of the game here New Years Day will
have a clear title to championship
honors in the west at least.
When it was announced in The
Times that arrangements for the game
had been completed. the principal OF
the Chicago school withdrawing his
objection in the face Of a petition sign
ed by the parents of the players, there
was great joy among the students Of
the Seattle high school.

REPAIRS ON SMITH BUILDING
Large Force Of Workers BusiIy En-
gagged in Pushing HercuIean Task
to Completion.

A large crew of men is doing a
magnificent piece Of work in repairing
the wall of the John Smith building
which was undermined by the recent
freShet.
A temporary bulwark has been con-
structed in the middle of the creek and
the water is pumped out of this in a
four inch stream by large Buffalo
Pitts machine.
Workmen are taking out the fOunda-
ton of the old wall in huge chunks of
concrete and throwing it in the middle
of the creek. The ground under the
wall will be eXcavated to bed rock and
then replaced to the level of the creek
with solid concrete so that there will
be no danger of the accident ever
occurring again.
Above the level of the ground it is
probable that stone or brick will be
used again as this will be solid
enough with proper foundation.

Sixteen boys will make the trip from

Sixteen boys will make the trip from
Chicago, and they are under agreement
not to play with any other team than
Seattle All their expenses are guar
anteed by Seattle, including the cost
of entertainment three days before and
three days after the game. The ex-
pense will amount to about $4,000, but
that does not phase the Seattle boys.
Manager Stewart, who, by the way,
has made the best record Of any man
ager of a football team in Settle,
either high school or university, will
mingle among the merchants and sport
lovers of the city this week to get them
to guarantee to make good any def
cheney that may arise, and he will have
no trouble getting the pledges OF
money.
Coach Frost said last night that he
would like to play the game on the uni
versity campus, so as to be sure Of a
dry field, but because the grounds are
not enclosed, he did not think they
could be used for such an important
game. So Madison Park probably will
be the battle ground of the most i'm
portant high school game ever played
in the west.
May Be coyIe's Last Game.
Frost has his squad out for practice
this afternoon, and the boys will be in
strict training from now until New
Years Day. This may be the last
chance to see Wee Coyle, captain,
quarter and star of the Seattle team
in action. 1t is understood that his
parents want him to give up the sport,
and he may not play after this big
game.
The Seattle boys have already brok-
en- the record for high school teams in
the matter of schedules. They sur
prised the wise ones by bringing the
Lick high school team here from San
francisco, at an expense OF nearly
$1,000, and on one of the toughest days
of the year they cleaned up about $500
above that sum on the game.
Then they went to Butte, quite a lit
tie jaunt in itself and though they
won the game easily they lost about
$500 on the trip The intention was to
play with the Spokane high school on
the way back, so as to help out on the
expenses but the Spokane lads would
not play.
Now to close the season they have
reached half across the continent and
will bring team out from Chicago
a trip Of more than 1000 miles. This
game will prove q big advertisement
for Seattle, for every sporting writer
of the country will have something to
say about it.
The Chicago team has the reputation
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-12-14

of being the best in the Middle West.
1t may down the Seattle bunch, but the
Chicago lads will know they have been
in a game when it is all over.
