MEDIATOR SURE
NEGOTIATIONS
Are NOT ENDED

Federal Mediator William
Blackman was hopeful Wednes-
day that a settlement of the long
shoremen's strike will be reached
despite the statement of Capt.
Gibson, president of the Water
front Employers association, that
peace negotiations are off.
Blackman was in Tacoma We'd
nesday, comforting with officials
of the Milwaukee and the union
longshoremen. He expressed OPP
timism over the outlook.
Capt. Gibson, I'm his state
ment, was speaking solely for
himself and not for the employers
as whole, ii was learned. This
was confirmed by the fact that
the Milwaukee was ready for
further negotiations with the
mediator.
The longshoremen here were
confident that there will be a
settlement agreeable to them.
Blackman was not ready to say
what the character of the negotia-
lions in Tacoma were.

CASE MOST Vital, SAYS
CITY Attorney; MAYOR
after LEGISLATURE AID

Opening one of the most far
reaching municipal fights ever
started in Washington, the Taco
ma Railway & Power Co. has
petitioned the state public service
commission for an order abrogat-
ing all clauses in its franchises
that find it to pay the city of Ia
coma anything directly or indi-
rectly for the privilege of operat-
ing.
The company even asks that it
be relieved from the contract Of
carrying city employees free Of
charge.
Tacoma attorneys say that the
case will have sweeping effect,
because, should the public service
commission rule favorably to the
company. the decision would re-
lieve every other street railway in
the state from paying for the
privilege of operating on city
streets.
The T. II. G p. Co. alleges that
it is losing money every day that
it operates here, and that it can
no longer continue to run under
existing conditions, without either
seriously curtailing its service, or
increasing city fares.

City Attorney Harmon declared
today that the I. II. e. p. case is
one of the most important that
has ever been filed against the
city.
1.-The supreme court has held
in other cases that the public
service commission has the right
to abrogate parts of franchises or

tracts he declared.
IF that is the case, it would
seem that the city will be bound
to disprove the T. r. & P. Co.
statements of its financial condi-
ton, in order to win before the
commission"
1t is believed that city attor-
neys from other municipalities
throughout the state will assist
Harmon in defending the action.
A negative decision for Tacoma
would wipe out all public service
corporation franchise taxes in
every other Washington city.

its earnings to per cent at the

them favorable verdict"
