is work for every one of them at good wages but they will not accept it.
 MT. James ventures the belief that. in the event shipbuilders and metal workers going on strike, there will be nothing left to be done than for the government to take over the in dustries and operate them under mar tial law--treating those who refuse to work as slackers. He says that the greatest period of prosperity ever known in Seattle has been changed into one of chaos and stagnation through the strikes now on.
 The demand for lumber on the out side is unprecedented and from pres ent indications the James company at this place will practically clean up it's yards of several hundred thou sand feet on hand before the end of the present year The planer at the mill has been running for the past week and a big shipment of lumber for Seattle is now being assembled.
