TWENTY-EiGAT THOUSAND MEN
WALK OUT ON PACIFIC COAST
is PERSONS IN HOSPITAL.
REPORTED TO WASHINGTON
Employers Have Placed the Issue
Squarely Up To Federal Authorities,
Closing Down Their Plants and
Do Not Try To Operate.

San Francisco.-Strike riots and

treatment and 80 rioters were arrest
ed, continued throughout the day fol
lowing the walkout OF $4,000 iron
workers and shipbuilders, which
brought work to a standstill on more

eminent The strike is characterized
as the most extensive in the history
of the Pacific coast.
Full details of the strike and the
demands of the % unions involved for
higher wages have been reported to
Washington. The employers have
placed the issue squarely up to the
federal officials. closing down their
plants and making no attempt to ope-
rate while they await government ac-
ton.
The strikers, most OF them skilled
mechanics started the walkout when
the 10, 600 iron workers in the Oakland
and San Francisco plants OF the Union
Iron Works laid down their tools. The
strike spread rapidly until every ship
yard In the bay district was closed
down and more than 100 factories.
machine shops, automobile concerns
and other plants We're affected.
No demonstrations took place in
connection with the iron workers

as the thousands of strikers left their
work and spread throughout the city
the worst rioting and disorders took
place In connection with the strike OF
street car men since the employees OF
the United Railways walked out five
weeks ago
Employers in the iron trades and
shpbuilding industry charged that
the strike of their men was largely
prompted by sympathy for the strik
ing street car men.
In statement issued by the Iron
Trades Council from union headquar-
ters this charge WAS emphatically de-
MED and the mems side of the case
laid before the public. The statement
claims that the employers are get

Answering the charges that the
men are unpatriotic in striking. the
statement points out that the strikers

Works alone subscribed for $4,000

AK For Federal Aid.

Representatives of about 35 high
schools met at the Department OF Edu-
cation to discuss the requirements OF
the federal Board of Education for re-
ceiving aid under the provisions Of the
Smith-Hughes act for vocational edu-
cation in agriculture, home economics,
industrial and trade subjects. About
25 or 80 schools made application for
the federal aid, agreeing to meet the
requirements Of the State Board OF
Education and also of the federal
Board of Vocational Education. A rep
resentative Of the State Board of Edu-
cation will takes these applications
and the proposition of the State Board
of Education to Washington for the
approval of the federal Beard of Voca-
tional Education. The amount due
