Seattle Cars Blocked

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 3-Five hundred
street car employees were kept working
all of last night and today in an eff
fort to make headway against the snow
and ice blocked tracks.
On many lines the attempt was to
clear enough trackage to get the ma
rooned cars through to the barns. Be
cause the cars were isolated at various
parts of the city, it was practically i'm
possible to make headway with snow
plows.
Many of the ears have been brought
in today, but there were still enough
out to make clearing with snow ploWs
impossible.
Many shovel gangs kept the cable
lines cleared, but they were forced to
use salt to keep the slots open.

hope led by Danny Carroll, captain

fought the agreement bitterly, was of
no avail
The California student body execu-

agreement, but the Berkeley students
have not yet voted on it.
