Seattle has for years been q !,

corporations. Large amounts OF
stocks were issued In excess OF the
real value OF these institutions. be-
cause our people could be made

our city-owned light plant forced
the rates on light and power down
Finally the jltney bus entered the

War was then forced upon our
nation. and the cost OF living (the

SETTLE THE STRIKE

For the sixteen years have
lived in Seattle. this corporation
has been a bad influence in some
direction. II II had spent only half
the energy and money trying TO
please and serve Seattle, that Il
has 10 avoid such service. II would
have Seattle for its friend: while
today It's tactics and methods have
driven the people from il until not
one can be found to defend its prin-
ciples Like n chronic disease. the
trouble subsidies for a time. only TO
break out new and intensified.
let all Seattle unite In an effort
10 buy this institution and Get free
from this disease that constantly
threatens our municipal health and
well being.
Men. beware OF traitors among
you. Any man who would use
violence is either incompetent or
a traitor. most probably a hirslIG
SPY You will find thugs hired 10
incite others 10 riot. Therefore do
not fall into the trap set for you. |
by your enemy that their trap Is
set They can not win without
violence, and you can not win with
&C. Their only hope IS TO turn the
public sentiment against you by
charging acts OF violence against
you. This ia the old worn out
game. but Il will be new in Seattle.
So bewarel
TO OUR MAYOR AND CHIEF
You two men are charged with
keeping order. and you will do your
duty as you see IL. Put your uni.
formed men close TO the car. and
put large number OF plain clothes I
men scattered out in the crowd, and
grab every one who advises or
throw missiles at the cars. Trace
the individuals activity to his daily
vocation. and YOU will soon have ey-
idence sufficient for the arrest and
conviction of some real gentlemen.
Seattle is sick because some
gentlemen in Boston desire to take
dividends; this money should go
TO the motormen aud conductors. IN
Seattle as wages. TO feed. clMke.
house and educate their children.
In whose interest should we act

 concerned. beginning June 1 seem- insiy depends upon the answer to be given soon by the contractors to the local Carpenters' union relative to an increase of from 45 to s5 cents an hour. said increase to begin on the date named. Union officials are pos- sessled Of the belief that the request win be granted without trouble. Con- tractors are non-committal relative to their action. Between $50 and 400 union carp4nters will be affected by the eincreA1e of the refusal to srant tho same. 45
 The demand would have been. made earlier, union officials say, but for the desire to see how their colleagues in Bristol and Hartford came out with their petition. In both places, accord ing to the union increases were grant, cd to become effective May l SO that in Bristol the daily wage is $4.50 and in Hartford. s.
 Tho desired increase locally would mean an advance of from $3.6O to $4.le . day for the from $50 to 400 local union men.

 Business Agent James F.
