Among the men Who in the present

INTERESTING STATE ITEMS

Cosmopolis, the only municipality
actively represented before the public
service commission in the recent
hearings to readjust telephone rates in
Washington, won reduction of charges
that will amount to 81 per month.

that Cosmopohs pays $3.50 monthly
for ten party line service, while Aber-

for four-party lines, attorneys for the
telephone company agreed to extend
the latter rate area to Cosmopolis. The

SEATTLE NEWS LETTER

One of the most portentious strikes
in the history of the Northwest was in
augurated last week by the longshore-
men, who are also on strike in all the
cities on the coast, demanding increases
in pay running from 20 per cent up to
$50 per cent on present rates. Fully
1000 men walked out from Seattle
wharves and warehouses, and shipping
has been largely tied up. The strike
comes just at time when the domes-
tic and foreign trade out Of this port
have been especially good, ships in
great demand, and the need for rapid
movement extremely great. So that
the prosperity of the whole state will
be badly affected if the strike lasts any
great length OF time. The union OF
longshoremen ordered the strike in
direct contradiction with its agreement
to allow so days for arbitration Of. any
question before calling strike, the
union leaders all along the coast having
decided that the time to strike was
when business was good and the ship
ping interests could least afford tie
up. The new demand of the strikers
is for wages ranging from SIS cents up
to $3.50 an hour, the highest rates
ever asked by any organization OF
unskilled labor. When it is recalled
that few years ago the longshoremen
got IS cents an hour and were / lad of
a chance to work, it is easy to see why
the new rates are regarded as exorbi-
tant The shipping interests simply
can't pay the increase. Federal Off
Gals have offered their services in
efforts to arbitrate, but so far have made
no progress. The unions are steadfast
in their demands. Whether it will be
possible to break the strike with non
union workmen is not yet known.
Meanwhile, ships are transferring to
Vancouver whenever possible, and local
trade is at a standstill. The Alaska
season was at its height when the strike
was called, and no matter what the
outcome, the entire Northwest will lose
thousands of dollars by the tie.up of
water transportation. Before the strike
the wages of longshoremen ran from
so cents per hour upward. This was
the highest ever paid, and it was not
generally believed that strike would
be called for the higher demand, but
it went into effect promptly all along
the coast, as the organizers had threat
ened.

the neighborhood. In the 1915 cele-
braton number of fires occurred thru

and piles of refuse and rubbish. and in
the vicinity of stacks Of hay and straw.
Every citizen is called upon to unite in
the effort to make the coming Fourth
the most notable in the states history
in the minimum of accidents and fires.
Owing to jitney bus competition the
electric street railways OF this state are
not so valuable by SIS, 100000 as they
were a year ago, according to the state
tax commission, which has deducted
that amount from the valuation of a
year ago. The traction companies in
the large cities have lost considerable
revenue by jitney competition, and the
state and counties must suffer accord
ingly in loss of taxes. Unfortunately
there is no commensurate increase in
automobile valuation, since the jitneys
have not been taxed anywhere nearly
enough to make up for the loss from
the traction companies.
