ACT ON
BEHALF
OF CITY

Tacoma merchants Tuesday
sent out a call for a merchants
mass meeting to disavow the at
titude of the Commercial club IN
siding with the employers asso-
citation against the longshoremen,
and to try to find means of solv-
ing the strike difficulties to the
interest of the city.
The call was in the form of res-
olutions, signed by some of the
most prominent merchants in Ia
coma, urging all business men to
use their efforts In serving Taco-
ma rather than any special inter-
est OF faction.
I'VE, the undersigned business
men of the city of Tacoma it
reads, believe that the business
interests of this city do not APP

resolutions supporting to come
from the Commercial and Rotary
clubs, over the signature of the
Employers association.

1--WE believe that these articles
did and do not represent the be-
lief or receive the sanction Of the
membership of the above named

I'VE are, therefore, lending our
support to the calling of a public
mass meeting, at which time moro
suitable expression can be given
the views of those who believe
the Commercial and Rotary clubs
should expend their efforts and
money in serving Tacoma rather
than any of the possible organlza-
tionsIof capital or labor"
The date of the mass meeting
will be announced i'm few days.

Attacking Will III. Orpet as a
selfish and callous youth" Pros
ecutor e. M. Runyard sought to
break down the defense's conten-
ton that no motive had been
shown for the murder Of young
Marian Lambert.
Orpet, who has been under fire
for a month, evidently had grown
used to the bitter attacks made on
him, for he remained calmly In
his chair during the long summing
up of the prosecutions case.
Attorney Runyard, who during
the evidence has been a silent
member of the prosecutions
force, tried to convince the jury
that Orpet's real motive was to be
found in the fact that the expos
ure of Marian's condition meant
exposure of orpet. the finish of
his career at the university. the
breaking OF his engagement to
Celestial Youker, and strained re-
lations with his parents.

THE present epidemic" he con-
tinued, appears to have a high
degree of cirulence, as well as Of
infectivity. The percentage of
deaths in all cases reported is
much higher than in 1907.
"Infantile paralysis is not new
disease. 1t was known even to the
ascients, yet very little progress
has been made in fighting 1t.
"A. perfectly healthy child
or adult may carry the dis
ease and communicate IL to
others. We cannot identify
the carriers, so you see what
we are up against"
Experiments in injecting solu-
lions of sweepings from rooms
where there have been cases into
healthy monkeys have convinced
authorities that dust carries the
germs.
For this reason orders have
been issued by the health depart
ment to prevent raising Of dust in
homes. In the epidemic neighbor-
hoods streets are sprinkled before
being swept.
There is no shortage of physi-
clans to handle the epidemic, but
efficient nurses are scarce.
Children are being barred from
movie theaters and there Is talk Of
closing the churches.

strikebreakers and strikers
at Z o'clock this morning
near the Pacific Cold Storage
plant.
Three strikebreakers were ar

of Police Fackler. Fackler told
reporters ''he had their names on
a slip of paper but had lost the

Carrying badges which said
they were Northern Pacific spe-
cial officers" and armed with re-
volvers, the strikebreakers were
proceeding from the Oriental
dock, when they were approached
by 20 or-30 pickets of the long
shoremen's union, led by Costello,
a member of the strike commit
tee, who attempted to argue with
the strikebreakers.
The str:kebreakers took to
their heels. When they had run
to a point near the cold storage
plant three of them made stand,
drawing knives and revolvers.
They put up a fight while the
others continued to run.

SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE
SEEMS FAR OFF TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO, July
1.-THE end of the long
shoremen's strike seems far
off.
Employers refuse to
listen to any terms but I'M
conditional surrender.
This morning the employ
ers demanded that steve
dores return to work at the
wages prevailing before the
walkout. The strike COM
mittee considered the de-
mand, but refused to accept.
The stand of the employ
ers is the result of the action
of commercial organizations
which have raised a million
dollars to support the open
shop.
