As fast as non-union men were
modified for operating street cars
they were sent to tho street car
company's lobby Monday, and told
to walt there until the call came
for resuming operation. The
number of men waiting there Mon
day afternoon could not be learn
ed. but strike pickets who had
counted the men as they entered
the room, announced that the
number was less than Is.
MMeet at Noon.
The 7. X. & p. Co. operates 100
ears during rush hours, and q
slightly smaller number for Or
binary travel.
Manager Bean declared Monday
that out of 1000 employees of the
street railway company, only IT'S
had gone on strike.
This was disputed by members
of the striking street car men,
who declared that IS per cent OF
the operating forces had walked
out. This number includes cleo
tricians, sub-station electrical en-
gineers, and men In all branches
of the street cNr service.
A meeting of 100 street car men
was held In Labor hall at noon to
perfect plans for continuing the
strike campaign.

Seattle Carmen
May Strike Also

weeks, were called together Mon
day afternoon to vote on the
question of a sympathetic strike.
Such strike would not only
tie up all local cars, but would
put out of commission the Seat
tie Tacoma interurban line, 1t is
said.
Eager to Strike.
A majority of the employees
were eager for the strike Monday
morning, it was reported.
In the meantime, an .arbitra-
ton of differences between the
car me nand railway heads is con-
templated.
Members of the Seattle Street
Railway Employees union will
meet in two sessions in Eagles
hall today to pass on the question
of arbitrating their differences
with the traction company.
Representatives of the union
last week entered into tentative
agreement with officers of the
traction company to submit all
questions at issue to board of
three arbiters.
The unions representative at
the conference with the traction
officials issued s.atemen. urging
ratification of the arbitration pro-
posal. This statement, however,
was issued before the Tacoma
strike. The trouble at Tacoma af-
fects an issue that the Seattle en-
ployes regard as vital to Thorn
selves. and likely will be the prin-
cipal subject of discussion at the
meetings here today.

The city council may threaten
to revoke T. r. e p. franchises
unless transportation is resumed
at once.
The city council, in an informal
discussion of the strike Monday,
agreed that the franchise de-
manded continuous service, and
intimated that strong pressure
would be brought on Manager
Bean.
Unless Bean takes action to re-
sumo car service by Tuesday, the
council intimated that it would
start some fireworks.

Commissioner Petit gave Or
ders Monday that any |. w. w.

Discovery Of dictagraph in
struIments I'm the offices of
Homer 7. Bone, attorney for
the Central Labor council, ON
the sixth floor of the PrOvi-
dent building, led to a thOro
investigation Monday by Dep
uty Prosecuting Attorney
James Selden, who declared
his belief that the L. IL. a.
=. Co. was responsible.
The discovery of the instru-
ments was made by Attorney Bone
Sunday Afternoon when he went to
his office.
Soon afterward, he with Prose
.cutor Selden, James Menzies, man
ager of the Tacoma Labor Advo-
cate, and II. Roy Harrison, secre-
tary of the Tacoma Central Labor
council, traced the wires leading
from the office to room No. 1884
on the third floor of the Provident
building, where they discovered
w. w. Wingard, Tacoma private
detective, who recently served a
Jail sentence.
! Wingard, they say, had receiv-
ers on each ear. On the table be-
side him was a complete dicta-
graph outfit.
In the next room they found r..
". Hoyt, former editor of the Ta-
coma Labor Advocate, whom Sell
den says he believes has been in
the employ of the Pinkerton de-
tective agency.
At the time he was holding Of
flee as editor of Tacoma's labor
paper, Hoyt was under suspicion
among union men of being in the
employ of the detective agency
and furnishing information for
the employers association. He
denied he had anything to do with
Vineyards operations.
Planned Meeting.
Attorney Bone had arranged a
meeting with Menzies and Harri-
son Sunday to check up on a suit
which is to be tried Tuesday,
broaght by r. n. Fincher against
Harrison and others concerning
advertising.
Bone says he believes those who
planted the dctagraph learned
that his meeting was to be held
and believed it had to do with the
street car strike.
Hoyt There.
The discovery of the dictagraph
was made when Bone went to open
his roll top desk. The top re-
fused to open, and investigation
showed that it had jammed
against the wires and instrument
concealed at the back of the desk.
The wires were then traced out
the window opening on the court,
along a ledge and down to the
third floor, where they entered
room 1874.
Bone, Menzies and Harrison
then went down to the third floor,
according to Bone, and looking
into the offices there saw Win
gard with the receivers at his
ears and with stenographer near
by. Not far away, he says, they
saw Hoyt.
Hoyt Processes Ignorance.
When seen Monday morning in
his offices in the Provident build
ing, DR.. r. V. Hoyt claimed he
knew nothing of the affair.
Unfortunately said DR.. Hoyt,

room next to mine. Il told the

Thousands of Taeomans
walked To work Monday
morning. Automobiles, trucks
and express wagons were
pressed into service for 9TH
ers.
Hundreds of owners of
private machines, sympathi2-
ing with the street car strik-
ers, made special trips from
outskirts to the center Of the
city, carrying all the lassen-
gers their machines would
hold, and refusing to charge
any fare.
This was particularly no
ticeable on the South Tat oma
line.
Many union truck drivers and
teamsters stopped to pick up per-
SONS walking down town, and
gave them free rides.
Interurbans Run.
Not an electric or cable car OF
the Tacoma Railway Il Power Co
moved after motormen and con-
ductors turned them in to the
barns at the end of their shifts
Sunday night.
Seattle interurban and PuyalluI
Short Line trains, operated by the
Puget Sound Electric Co. were
the only cars opel ating on Tacoma
streets. Operators on these trains
were not asked to join the local
union.
Altho Manager Bean declared
emphatically Monday morning
that the cars would be running
soon and that there would be nG
further delay when the cars re-
sumed service, no intimation was
given as to teh company's prepare
lions for handling the strike sit
uation.
No attempt was made Monday
to run street cars on To-
cal lines. All cars were in the
barns, either at 18th and A streets,
Puyallup ave-, Bay street, or
South Tacoma.
Strike pickets were stationed
by union heads at the different
barns.
I'VE are simply resting this
taking stock of the sit
said Manager Bean, when
asked what preparations his COM
pany was making for resuming
street car service.
Doesn't Define "SoOn."
"All that l can say is that the
cars will start running again soon,
and that when they start they will
continue without interference.
Bean would not say whether he
meant by soon" that street cars
would be running by nightfall.
1t was reported about the
streets Monday that several veter-
an street car men we're ready to
resume work, following talks by
Manager Bean with the car men
in the barns at midnight Sunday
night. This was denied by the
union officials.
Mobilixing Men.
1t was also limited that large
group of men was being gathered
together by the T. r. & p. Co. on
promises of SIS day pay, and
that these men would be placed
simultaneously on all street cars
later In the day.
Uniformed police were stationed
at all street car buildings and
barns to prevent anv incipient
outbreaks.

GIVE PUBLIC NOTICE

The call for strike was issued
at 8 o'clock Sunday night, as
soon as Manager Bean had in
formed strike committee that he
could not accede to the union de-
mands.
Immediately a committee of
strikers visited all downtown
theaters, and had the strike notice
thrown on the motion picture
screens. Other men stood on
street corners and called out
warning to the public that no
street cars would be running in
the morning, so as to give the
fullest notice possible.

The drivers were careful to in
