SEATTLE LEFT
To HOLD SACK

SEATTLE, May 10.-Whether
the city will be able to collect from
the bonding companies on John
Riplinger's defalcation seems
doubtful. Riplinger's indemnity
bond Of $4,000, given by him as
city comptroller, cannot be found.
Mayor Moore, who should have
the custody of such bonds, says it
was never turned over to him by
former Mayor Ballinger.
1t cannot be located in the vaults
of the comptrollers office.
1t is reported that Jack Ballinger,
the late mayors secretary, turned
the bond over to Riplinger at the
end Of his term. If such is the
case, Riplinger may have destroy
ed the bond or taken it away with
him, and the city may be unable to
recover the sums lost through the
alleged defalcations of the former
comptroller.
Riplinger's total shortage is esti-
mated at $3.50. and further inves-
tigation may reveal much greater
amount, as the city accounts are
badly jumbled. The defaulter is
now hidden on a banana plantation
in Honduras and there is little pros
pect Of his extradition. He left Sc
attic for California the day after
he was defeated as a candidate for
mayor and, when he heard of his
shortage being discovered, went to
Central America by way of New
Orleans. His wife is living in Los

UNION NOW
STANDS PAT

The meeting called between the
associated electrical contractors OF
the city and the journeymen cleo
trical workers, at the Spokane
Electric CO. S shop at o'clock yes
terday afternoon, resulted In an ap-
solute failure to reach an agree
ment and today the conditions are
the same as they were week ago.
The electrical workers declare
they will not return to work until
the Spokane Buildings Trades al
lance agreement is signed by the
contractors. They scott at the open
shop threats made by some OF the
contractors, claiming that 92 per
cent of all the electrical workers in
the United States and Canada be-
long to their union, while 5 out OF
the remaining per cent are en-
ployed in the shops OF the west
inghouse Electric Co., at Pittsburg,
and the General Electric Co., OF

Local members of the electrical

other shops.
The journeymen today say the
contractors must now come and
see them. They argue that the con
tractors have not even specified a
single objection to either of their
agreements, but simply turned them
