SEATTLE STRIKE SUIT
COMES OFF WEDNESDAY
Company Asks Injunction
Attorney Asks Company
Obey Franchise

Seattle, Wash, July 30.-Peaee pros
poets in the street ear strike today de-
layed court action in the city's suit to
force the Puget Sound Traction, light
and Power company to operate cars at
once. Superior Judke King Dykeman
continued the hearing until this after
noon and it is probable that it will be
continued at that time until Wednesday
morning.
The first indication that peace was
near came when Attorney Charles A.
Reynolds, representing the general
strikers committee, in asking leave to
intervene on behalf of the men, declar-
ed that he expected a settlement within
"a hours.
Before opening the case, Judge Dyke
man announced that DR.. Henry Suzzallo
chairman of the state council of defense
had talked with the court on long dis
tance telephone from Olympia this
morning and that DIR. Suzzallo had said
that the company had not operated be-
cause of an agreement with the defense
council that no cars would be run until
all efforts at eonciliation had been ex-
hausted.
Both the counsel for the city and the
company denied knowledge of such an
agreement.
The only discordant note in the sit
uation today was struck before the
opening of court when the traction com
pany filed an amended answer and
cross complaint asking that an injunc-
tion restraining the authorized union
leaders of the strikers in Seattle and
Tacoma .om interfering with the
operation of the cars of the company"
The complaint also asks an injunction
against the city restraining it from
passing an ordinance compelling the
company s motormen to be trained and
competent.
Reynolds asked that the court re-
quire the company to obey its fran
chise and proceed with arbitration. He
asked that one representative of the
company and one of the employees meet
and decide upon q thiru arbitrator.
