PRESIDENT
"Our Patience Exhausted"
Union Official Says; Will
Paralyze Industry Unless
Demands Are Granted.

Twelve thousand Seattle shipyard workers will
strike at 10 Saturday unless the labor adjustment
board of the United States shipping board, meeting in
Washington effects settlement on the increased wage
demands of the Metal Trades council before that time.
The strike date was set by the Metal Trades coun-
Gil executive committee in meeting Monday morning,
and unanimously adopted b. the membership OF the
BoilermakerS' union Monday night
PATIENCE GONE
The bolermakerS action formally ratified by
the business agents of the IS unions of the Metal Trades
council Tuesday morning and the strike notices sent
TO the yards at once.
The strike will absolutely paralyze Seattles ship
building industry. The wooden ship yards are almost
completely closed down now because of the strike of
their carpenters against io-hour lumber while the
penterS have also seriously crippled he work in the
steel yards.
''The strike is called" declared A. E. Miller, secre-
tary of the Metal Trades, because patience has
been exhausted by nine weeks of fruitless negotiations
'San Francisco and Portland struck promptly when
negotiations failed. We have waited nine weeks and
feel that there is waiting longer
The strike will effect every yard in the city and the
blacksmith and boiler works and machine shops doing
contract work for the yards with the exception of the
Skinner Eddy plant.
