Monday morning we started to
find a trial to Avery. Randall stuck
by us, but we were deserted by
Rock, who went ahead to look for a
path and never stopped till he got
to Avery. We struggled along q
few inches at time through the
fallen trees, the gnarled, twisted
trunks and the burned underbrush
until we got to sort of path. Ran
dali and a couple of men went
ahead to blaze trial and we waited
behind for a while, but soon got
tired of waiting and started after
the men ahead. We caught up to
them and were desperately looking
for a trail. Finally we heard two
Japs hollering and when we got tc
them they showed us where the
trail was and We got to Avery a
little while later"
These men had the same trouble
in asking for their money as the
men in Aliens gang, and in fact as
every man had who came into Spo
kane this morning. Debit refused
to even give them an order on the
government. 1t was computed that

the officials at Avery by the men III

dred men who came to Spokane las
night and today had $1334.75 com
ing to them. For this they have
nothing to show.
One young fellow, Otto Vulavke
left Spokane August 8 or a ant
worked until the day before yester
day with Randall's gang. He claims
according to Randalls own figures
that the government owes hin
$62.50. That doesn't seem exorbit
ant, either, for there weeks of fire
fighting.
The men clai mthat the loss o
life-and it may reach several score
around Avery is due to tive
things, the incompetency of thu
men in charge of the various gangs
and to the back fire that the citi
zens of Avery started without warn

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-From pri-
vate advices received today by the
leaders in the machinists strike on
the sound, 1t seems likely that the
final touch in the fight between
coast capital and labor will come
September 1, with the strike of the
thousands Of men employed In the
metal trades in San Francisco.
In every city from LOS Angeles
to Vancouver, B. c., the metal
workers are out, except in San
Francisco. Until the last 48 hours
it was not anticipated that there
would be any trouble at San Fran
cisco because of the disaster that
would result from a general strike
there, but reports to strike leaders
here today show that the Metal
Trades association in San Francis

workers there and that unless a
settlement is made before Septem.

Eugene Levy, fight picture pro-
moter, through his attorneys, Ros-
enhaupt, Cohn & Blake, went into
the superior court today and asked
that Mayor Pratt and Chief Sulli-
van be enjoined from bothering the
fight pictures.
Levy contends that the action of
the mayor in attempting to stop the
pictures is unwarranted under the
law, wholly outside of his authority,
and contrary to the provisions Of
the state law and the city charter.
AS three days notice are requir-
ed before the hearing can be had,
the case was continued until next
