ply with 1t, heavy penalty 1t at

the company fails to comply 1t Is
fined $1,000.
Also the law allows damages to
every person or corporation which
may be damaged by failure to

II is doubtful If court could
compel the union men named ro-
spondents in the case to go back
to work under conditions unfa-
vorable to them. More than zoo
members of the union are named
in the case.
If 1t were ordered to resume
operation, the necessity of the
company's complying with the
union demands, probably would
depend on it's ability to obtain
enough striksbreakers to satisfy
the public service commission.
Judge yesterday denied re-
port that. all the superior court
judges might sit in the case. He
said he probably would hear the

GRAVEST CRISIS

tunteu fress Leased Wfre.D
LONDON, July 23.-Russia' s
gravest crisis was being reached
today. Disaffection in the army,
abetted by pacifist organizations
of pro-German inclinations, and
open mutiny of troops, was per-
hitting Teutonic troops to ad-
vance unhindered.
At home, the same pacifist ele-
ments were conspiring to oppose
the government.
Premier Kerensky has left for
the front, according to Petrograd
dispatches, alive to the impera-
tive necessity of making the mu-
tinous soldiers reform their ranks
and fight to repel the invading
Teutons. The government has is
sued a powerful appeal to the peo-
pie appealing. for unity and declar-
ing 'the fateful hour has struck. y
German troops are now already
established in suburbs of Tarno-
pol and all the ground gained by
Gen. Korniloff's offensive has
been lost. Moreover, the steady
retreat of Russian mutineers on
other parts of the Galician front
threatens long established Russian
positions.

(Special to The Times J

SEATTLE, July 23.-There ap-
pears to be a chance this forenoon
that the street car strikes both
here and in Tacoma will be set

The strikers, in response to Ell
inquiry from the state council of

willingness to mediate. They

Outside organizers are thus not

The state defense board is now
awaiting reply from the Seattle

mediate, and will receive one to-
day, it is expected.
f. S. Pratt, of Boston, chair
man of the Stone G. Webster exc
cutive board, at the New Washing
ton hotel, announced that a reply
had been sent the council but re-
fused to say whether 1t met with

The conference, if thus brought
about, likely will result in a settle

President A. w. Leonard, of the

would be operated today. He
would not state when an attempt

In the meantime, the company

FALSE ALARM

A fire alarm from the keystone
Lumber company plant, Center
and Bailey, Monday morning
caused keen excitement.
Half the city's fire apparatus re-

roaded with policemen rushed TO

But there was no fire. Some
person with an apparent pervert-

alarm and then disappeared.

Danger that their strike
may be broken thru court
action was foreseen by the
striking street car men OF
Tacoma and their attorney,
Homer II. Bone, when each
member of the union was
Joined in the suit filed by
Attorney General Tanner In
behalf OF the public service
commission In the superior
court Monday morning.
The suit asks for a writ OF
mandamus or an Injunction, or
both, Ito the end that sufficient
and adequate service be furnished
by the Tacoma Railway & Power
Co.
Judge yesterday Immediately
issued an order setting Thursday
morning as the time for hearing,
when both sides must appear.
What the outcome of the case
NAV be is Cup in the air, as an
action of this kind is without pre-
cedept in this state and almost
without precedent in the United
States.
City Attorney Harmon,
who is acting with Attorney
General Tanner and Assist
ant Attorney General Tom
Murphine of Seattle in the
case, declared II to he one OF
the most important actions
affecting union labor ever be-
gun i'm court of the country.
One outcome, 1t was predicted,
might be the establishment OF
compulsory arbitration of all
labor disputes in which public
service corporations are involved,
and the establishment of arbitra-
ton courts such as are estab-
lished in New Zealand.
The immediate issue involved
is whether the T. r. & p. Co. can
set up the fact that 1t refused to
recognize organized labor, as an
excuse for not giving sufficient
service.
On this point the state has a
precedent in the famous settle
ment of the Brooklyn street car
strike In which former Mayor
Gaynor of New York, then judge
of the superior court, ruled that
a company could not work its en-
ployes long hours and pay starva-
ton wages, and then give an ex-
cuse for not operating the fact
that the men refused to work I'M
der these conditions.
1t was with this case in mind
that City Attorney Harmon says
he started the action which re-
suited in today's court proceed
ings.
The suit i'm all probability
will result either in compell-
ing the street car company
to concede to the strikers
demands, or a settlement be-
tween the two sides, or in
breaking the back of the
union.
What the union men and their
attorney feared was that follow
ing a mandate or injunction from
the court compelling the company
to operate, the company might OBJ.
