Shipping Strike
Gained Something
Seamen in Various Countries Gained
CONCESSIONS and More Thorough
Organization Assured.

Washington, July PA wide scope
of country being affected by the sea-
mems strike, it is difficult to compute
accurately the sum total of advances
made, yet from fragmentary reports
received from England, France, Ger
many, Belgium, Holland, Denmark
and Sweden, much favorable news
comes. At present the strike seems to
be centered in Great Britain, Belgium
and Holland. No gneral strike move
ment has been on in the United States
In Germany many agreements have
been entered into with the ship own
ers. The Denmark seamen are still
negotiating for agreements. In Nor
way bill is being discussed in Par
lament, anu, if adopted, will largely
meet the situation. In Sweden the
unions of seamen are yet suffering
from the crippled condition in which
a previous struggle left them. The In
ternational Transport Workers Fed
Grafton, while it has not officially
sanctioned the strike, has issued an
appeal for financial assistance. 1t is
understood, however, that if any at
tempt is made to transport labor from
one country to another, with view
to strike breaking, the Federation will
take action. The strike does not ap-
pear to be general, even in Great
Britain, Belgium and Holland, but
there has been a series of sectional
strikes which have met with appar-
ent success. The most intense situa-
ton has been at Liverpool, Manches-
ter and Hull, where the other water
front trades have in measure COM
bined to assist the seamen.
One prominent feature is the re-
markable revival in England of the
Seamen's and Firemen's Union, which
has, during this difficulty, rapidly in
creased in membership and effective
ness. The great difficulty experienced
by the International Transport Work
rs Federation is the fact that the or
CARNATIONS comprising the Federation
are not well organized. The character
of employment of seamen makes it
exceedingly difficult to marshal these
men in to strong and effective or
ganization. Taken as whole, how
ever, the Seamen's strike has been of
immense value, not only in effecting
advances in wages and bettered condi-
lions, but it has been the means Of
bringing many seamen into the or
ganization. :.

cause of the legitimate farmer. This
action has borne results, for the

eliminate Orientals from the fruit

la toilette on Alaska

Immediate development of the
mineral resources Of Alaska through
government ownership of railroads.
Ships, public utilities. wharves and
docks, and through the actual min
ing of Alaska coal BY the govern
ment. all to be administered for the
benefit of the people at large
through a board of control, was the
plan outlined by Senator LaF GILLETTE,
of Wisconsin in speech in the SEN
ate Tuesday.
Declaring that every day makes
more evident the fact that the
American people are waging losing
fight in Alaska, LaFollette asserted
it was time for the government to
take an active hand.
"On one side." LaF'ollette said,
"are 35, 900 pioneers who are risk
ing their lives and fortunes in ex-
ploration and prospecting for unde-
veloped resources. On the other
side are the millions of American
people to whom this great store
house of natural resources belong
Between them is the enormous
power of the greatest concen ration
of capital the world ever knew.

Business Conditions Improve

There are signs Of general i'm
rrovement in business conditions,
and more confidence is being shown
by merchants in future prospects.
AS a whole, trade has not been so
quiet as would appear from a super
fetal view of the situation. The
volume of business so far transacted
this year exceeds that for the same
period in 1910. Whatever dark
spots are on the commercial horizon
are compensated for by bright spots
in other directions, and there is no
reason to apprehend that the year
as whole will be below the normal
though the extreme optimistic ex-
pectations fostered earlier IN the
season may not be fulfilled.
Building operations are showing
more activity than they have done
for some time and this naturally will
effect other trades. such as iron,
lumber and paint.

West Sound does nothing by
halves. The contestants had the
honor of full house and an appre-
ciative audience, just such as West

visitors. The Oregon Development
League has taken space at the show
and will supervise the distribution
OF the fruit, so that the Northwest
will get the greatest possible amount
of publicity out of it. Literature
will also be given out, descriptive
of the North Pacific Coast country

received, if all sections cooperate
heartily.
