Why not have a public CEN
sus carnival in the downtown
streets tomorrow night, when
the government count closes?
A carnival of this kind could
be called by a proclamation Is
sued by Mayor Pratt, and all
in that crowd who had been
overlooked by the enumerators
could be rounded up and
counted.

ned to get these by going through
the downtown business blocks with
petitions. 1t is believed that all
the names needed can be secured in
this way in one afternoon.
Should the council remain OBJ
stinate in the face of the petition
and refuse to call the election it
will be mandamused, the commit
tee asserts, as soon as possible.
Some of the committee have taken
it for granted, from the attitude of
some members of the city council,
that no action will be taken by the
council to call the charter election
until forced under the law.
A committee of volunteer work
ers were started out this afternoon
and expected to complete the list
today. eve want to close this
thing up and get it off our minds.

chief pushers for the commission
plan. today, and we will do so at
once"

CLOSING SINGLE MILLS
TO RAISE PRICES
(By United Press Leased Wire)

SEATTLE, May 6.-The Single
manufacturers are rapidly succeed
ing in their attempt to close every
mill in the state, thereby curtail-
ing the supply and bringing prices
back to a point satisfactory to the
manufacturers.
Only two Ballard mills are still
running and at the offices it is
claimed that 80 per cent of the
mills in the state are closed. In
the Bellingham, Edmonds and
Everett districts that percentage is
very nearly correct and at least
half of the mills in the Grays Har-
Dor district have shut down.
