The engagement Of S150,0O0 gold for

Bank of England did not raise It's dis

this confirmed the opinion that Amer

SWITCHMEN WHIPPED?
NOT IF THEY KNOW 1T.

The strike is broken! That's what
the railroad managers said thirty days
ago and that's what they say today.
Is it so? The railroads, it is true, are
moving freight after fashion, and
have green switchmen at work, but are
they giving service? Here are the facts:
In St Paul and Minneapolis they are
giving only 20 per cent of their normal
service. In Seattle alone, 2100 loaded
cars wera standing in the yards early
in the week that had not been placed
for unloading Perishable freight is be-
ing delayed to say nothing of dead
freight which the companies are not
attempting to handle. Freight traffic
in the northwest is utterly demoralized
despite all claims of the companies to
the contrary.
Throughout the northwest the strik-
ing switchmen are standing firm. In
Seattle and Tacoma the boys are
standing firm to a man. Locally there

afflicted with pedas frigidatas and
sneaked back to work. The boys are
not so sure that he wasn't spotter
as he belonged TO no organization at
the time the strike was called, but
went out with the rest of the boys.
With that single exception the ranks
are firm in Everett. There is no lack
of funds behind the boys as there is a
regular system of strike benefits in
operation. to say nothing of the re-
sources of tho various other crafts of
organized labor who are willing at any
time to come to their assistance.

the Swtchmen's Union, and Harry

life into the boys with ringing speeches
Talk of blacklist does not scare
these strikers. They knew what they
were facing when they went out and
were prepared to win or take the con

The Annual Convention
at Marysville Makes His
tory-Great Progress Is
Noticeable Over Former
Years.

The eighth annual convention of the
International Shingle Weavers' Union
which was held in Marysville last week,
was the largest in point of attendance
and the most important from the stand
point of work accomplished, ever held
by that aggressive organization. Forty
nine delegates wore present and the
enthusiasm and intelligence shown in
discussing measures of importance to
the shingle weaving craft augurs well
for the future welfare of the craft.
II was remarked by several of the old
timers, men who have attended nearly
all of the conventions of the shingle
discussions and ideas brought forth over
that of previous years. 1t was evident
to everybody who listened to the de-
bate on numerous questions, that here
were men who knew what they were
talking about, here were men who had
studied industrial and economic ques-
tions to good purpose. The conclusion
reached was that if the shingle weav-
ers union never raised wages nor short
