EMPLOYERS STILL
REFUSE TO DEAL
With THEIR MEN

Unless the lumbermen and mill
owners of the state satisfy the de-
mand of the state council of de-
Tense that they agree to con-
ference and make every effort
to settle the differences which
have resulted In the state wide
strike of the timber workers, their
business is likely to be paralyzed.
This is the report brought to
Tacoma Tuesday by Charles Perry
Taylor. secretary of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor. who was in Alb
erdeen attending a meeting of the
striking workers Monday night,
1000 on Strike.
Nearly 5000 timber workers
and nearly 1000 single weavers
are out on strike today, he re-
ported.
Nine of the larger Grays Har-
Dor mills have been forced to
close down. and the smaller ones
are conceding the union demands
for an eight-hour day.
All Ol the bhlldTu SnlHRIb

are finding Jobs elsewhere. Just as

new CHANCELLOR
PROMISES "STRONG
POLICY" WITHOUT
(United Press Leased Wireo
BERLIN. via London, July
IT. - Chancellor Gorge
Miohaelis' program Is to be!


BERLIN. via London, July
IT. - Chancellor Gorge
Miohaelis' program Is To be:
A strong policy without;
unity within.
Berlin is keenly curious to hear
the new chancellor formally set
forth his aims and policies.
1t was announced today that re-
assembling of the reichstag for a
meeting at which the new premier
would make his maiden speech
might be possible before Thursday.
Until the new chancellor for
mally states his policies, the Ber-
lin press will continue cautious
about giving him support or voic-
ing opposition. according to indi-
cations today.
All newspapers concede DR..
Michaelis' strength of character.
The socialists organs and soci-
alist party members were reticent
about expressing an opinion.
Meantime the jingoistic press is
pursuing its condemnation Of for
mer chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg with Unprecedented vigor
and hatred.
Most reichstag leaders today
~professed the belief that the kaiser
was sincere In the regret over
Hollweg's retirement, voiced in his
letter accepting the premier's res
ignation.
They pointed out that the en-
peror appreciated the support Of
the war by the socialists and
workmen's parties was largely dut
to Hollweg's efforts.
A number of conservative lead
ers declared the kaiser only accept
ed Hollweg's resignation when
the premier's INDIGESTION between
reaction and liberalism was ap-
parent, and when It seemed best
to take this course to avoid an
open break.

CROP
CUT in HALF

PORTLAND, Or, July 1.-THE
Pacific Northwest must have rain,
and have it at once.
Hot winds and a long dry spell
have practically cut the Northwest
wheat crop in half. Much of the
damage to the yield is beyond re-
pair, but rain now would prevent
still further shrinkage of the
Washington, Oregon and Idaho
wheat harvest.
Earlier estimates put the wheat
crop in these states at 65, 900, 700
to 100000 bushels. Grain men
today figured that the total yield
would be only 30,000,000 or
40, 100000 bushels.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-07-17

1t now seems, according to Ber-
lin reports. that the center-radical
coalition, which forced the crisis
in Germany. is beginning to real
lie that Bethmann-Hollweg Was
sacrificed because he was about to
yield to them.
But not alone does the govern
ment face a smoothing out of the
parliamentary, but Austro- Hun
gary must be satisfied.
Vienna wanted Hollweg to stay.
Emperor Karl's ministers did not
hesitate frankly and firmly to an
noupce this to Berlin.

MARINES
ARE FIRST
ASHORE!

AN ATLANTIC PORT, July IT.
The marines were the first
ashore in France.
Also. it was one of their trans
ports that the German submarines
fired on.
That the tradition of the mar
ines was fully lived up to in the
landing of Americas first expedi-
tionary army in France was learn
ed here today.
And with this came a first hand
story of one of the attacks on the
American transports and their
conveys.
The lookout on the marines
transport could not see the sub
marines owing to the darkness.
He distinctly saw the wake of
two torpedoes, however, one pass
ing the bow and the other the
stern of the ship.
The destroyers were in full cry
after the submarines, but the guns
aboard the transport let go in the
general direction in which the
U-boats were believed to be. Then
the destroyers swung into the line
and the transport had to cease
firing.
Sight "a U-Boat.
One destroyer coming from
European waters, which met the
American fleet, reported her be-
lief that she had sunk U-boat a
few days before. The destroyer
had answered the call of one YES
sci in distress, when she heard
another. Then, only a short dis
lance away, submarine was
sighted.
The destroyer put full steam
on. charged directly at the U-boat,
passed over the spot where the
submarine dived and as she did
so let go a depth mine.
With the explosion of the mine
vast quantity of wreckage and
oil came to the surface, members
of the crew said. This is prob
ably the same incident reported
by the United Press staff CORE
spondent from the flotilla base In
British waters some time ago.
The details are precisely the
same.

Englishman Predicts This
and Protective Tariff As
Reforms After War.

London-(by MailD - Woman suf-
of the more important reforms that
John Hodge. minister of labor in the
Lloyd George cabinet believes will
come into effect Immediately after the
war. He made this statement in dis
cussing the rehabilitation scheme
occupied at present. scheme for
taking care of. and providing with
employment. the hundreds Of thou
sands Of soldiers who must be dis
charged from the army and thrust
back into civilian life as rapidly as
Our women have done we'll in the
war, and when peace comes they will
surely get their reward in having the
franchise extended to them," said Mr..
Hodge
Turning to the question Of tariff,
"A policy of ''closed door" in trade as
against the transitional 'open door,"
He explained:
previous to the war we thought
free trade meant the prevention Of
war. that so long as we had the open
door Germany would never risk the
loss of her trade by INDUCING in war
We wanted cheap commodities, but
the war has dropped the scales from
our eyes.
"Three million tons of steel were
coming yearly into this country from
Germany. want to see no more Ger
man steel in this country while there
is an idle furnace in this country.
When every furnace here is occupied,
then l might let little bit in.
How silly we were in the past to
have an open door as against a closed
door think we want to give them
tit for tat in the future. 1t used to
be said that no trade union leader be-
lieved in a policy of that kind. We
cannot say that today. Australia is n
protected country. and the standard
Of living there is the highest in the
world. So-called tariff reform or pro-
lection does not seem the lowering of
the standard Of life!"

RUMORS ANONYMOUS

Because of anonymous warnings of
mob action. Sheriff Ike Wylie of Ham
ilton. yesterday thought it best to
leave the Ravalli county Jail with
James Hughes, arrested Saturday on
the charge of assaulting seven year
old Ruby F'rankovitch. Hughes was
arrested at his ranch near Hamilton
and taken to the Jail. Bonds were
fixed at $4,000. but the prisoner was
unable to furnish bail and was re-
tanned in the custody of the sheriff
The warning reached Sheriff Wylie
late Saturday night. He left imme-
diately with the prisoner taking Dep
uty Sam See to aid him. The au-
thorities will not say where Hughes
now is. No attack was made upon
the Jail and it is thought that the
rumor was unfounded. There will be
no preliminary hearing as the jury trial
will be held February 81. Arraign-
ment will probably be made this morn
ing if the sheriff sees fit to return.
