STRIKES Menace
LUMBER mills in
Cities ON COAST

With 1000 Ballard shingleweavers join
ing in the statewide strike for an eight-hour
day, and 300 Seattle street car employees
voting whether to strike at midnight tonight,
in sympathy with striking Tacoma car men,
Seattle Monday faced a serious tie-up of her
lumber industry and almost complete par
alysis of electric transportation.
Despite the fact that mill owners, armed
with fund of $50O,O00, met in the rooms
of the Industrial Employers association irS
the Central building Monday morning to lay
plans to fight the eight-hour day, some hope
of a settlement by the state council of de-
fense meeting at Olympia was held out.
Secretary George Russell of the En-
ployers' association, however, says that the
meeting is held independently and not under
the direction or auspices of his organization.
