The strike manipulated by the |. w.
W. on Grays Harbor may be said TO
have practically passed into history.
All the mills in the city that are in
position to operate are running, ana
scores of American and English
speaking laborers have come to the
harbor during the past few days ana
all are finding employment. Many OF
the former foreign employees OF the
mills who walked out have returned
and applied for their old positions,
giving as the reason for their action
in quitting their fear to remain at
work while the strike was on because
of intimidations and threats made by
the Industrial Workers of the World
leaders.
The strike which the Industrial
Workers of the World asserted it
would call among the sailors has not
and will not materialize. Sailors were
ordered to stay aboard their vessels
by the Aberdeen agent, more to keep
them out of trouble than for any other
reason. The Sailors Union, it is said,
has nothing in common with the In
dustrial Workers of the World move
ment
Unions Stand Firm
Clerks, teamsters, laundry workers
and other unio,1 employees were not in
fluenced by threats made against them
as union or individuals by Indus
trial Workers of the World, and none
of them have left their positions on
account of labor agitation.
In fact the trades unions cf the
harbor have realized that the sue
cess of the revolution sought by the
Industrial Workers meant the death
note of such unions and their men,
bership, very largely, decry the un-
warranted and high-handed methods
adopted on Grays Harbor by the
bunch of hired agitators who are with
out cents worth of interest here,
and who can leave tomorrow without
loss while their dupes, after paying
the trouble breeders are left with the
burdens of life even worse than be-
fore the advent of this gentry.
Mills Resume Work
The resumption of the Donovan mill
Tuesday and the Hubert mill this
morning leaves but two mills in Abb
erdeen idle, the Bay City mill, which
is being remodeled and the American
mill, which begins saving either next
Saturday or Monday. At the opening
of the Donovan mill Tuesday, the
revolutionists began playing their last
card. Women were called upon to go
in front of the cowardly men. to in
timidate American workmen. This
morning the Hubert mill resumed
operations with more men than they
needed. and two men were sent to an
other MILL
Women and Rag Babies
The desperation of the revolution
lists is exemplified in the latest and
only move left them, to have the
women fight the battle, knowing that
force with the feminine sex is reluc-
tantly used they have forced the fight
on the women. About $50 women. al

and were dispersed by the application
of the water cure, via fire hose. A
number of them We're accompanied by
baby buggies. and one of those We
hicles was drenched with water. and
the cry went over the city that baby
had been nearly drowned by the po-
lice "thugs" An investigation reveal
ed the fact that the Finnish mothers
took no chances with their babies,
and that the drenched kid was rag
baby up for the occasion. After the
hose experience, the women marched
on the city hall, and were told to go
home and leave the overturning OF
this government to the men.
Workmen Insulted Daily
The expiring gasp Of the revolu-
ton. as shown in the enlistment OF
women to insult and jeer the men Is
becoming tiresome. Several hundred
men, working in the Slade and Wilson
