Worried? Well, Not Hardly!
They Dance AS They Strike

Striking telephone girls and
linemen in Tacoma aren't worry
ing much about the success OF
their strike.
This was evidenced Tuesday
morning when number of the
strikers, waiting in a large hall OF
the Central Labor Temple for
news from the strike committee
at Seattle, staged an impromptu
dance to pass away the time.
While one of the telephone
girls played fox-trots and one
steps on a piano, the girls and
linemen spent most of the morn
ing sliding about the smooth floor
of the labor hall.
Leaders of the strikers in Ia
coma say that they have received
information which leads them to
believe that the strike will be
won speedily. An announcement
will be made in Seattle Wednes-
day which will be of great import
ance, according to James Sutton
of the local strike committee.
Tacoma operators and linemer
:, will go to Seattle to receive tn
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-11-13

announcement, and will at the
same time take part in big par
ade and strike demonstration.
II also have heard that the
federal mediators, including Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson, are going
to come north to handle the strike
situation here" said Sutton Tues
day. They are due to arrive in
Seattle Thursday, according to
the report. We expect speedy
victory, after they have taken the
matter in hand"
Altho the Tacoma telephone
company has been able to obtain
enough girls to handle most of
the switchboards, they cannot get
linemen to make repairs, and the
outdoor part of the telephone
system is getting in deplorable
shape, according to the strikers.
Most of the tideflats telephones
have been cut off entirely be-
cause some of the main cables be-
came water-soaked this week and
the company was forced to cut the
wires.

TACOMA CASHIER SkIPS
Police Seek
Store Man
With $780,;
His Wife Is
Gone. Also

Charged with having stolen
5000 in cash and currency
from the Standard Clothing
Co., 1148 Pacific ave., Sunday
afternoon and to have imme-
diately left the city In COM
pany with his wife, Thomas
G. Mecklenburg, cashier and
auditor of the store, is being
sought by police all over the
west this week.
Tacoma police have sent tele-
grams broadcast, but as yet have
been unable to pick up the trail
of the alleged absconding cashier.
Mecklenburg was a trusted en-
ploye of the store. He was given
the position two months ago by s.
and M. Friedman, the owners, and
had SO completely convinced the
clothing merchants of his honesty
and integrity that they had put
, him in entire charge of the funds
of their chain of three downtown
clothing stores.
Find Money Missing.
The cash sales for Saturday had
been taken to the Standard store
and locked up by Mecklenburg late
that night. They amounted to
slightly over $500.
When the cashier and auditor
did not appear Monday morning at
the usual time, his employers be-
! came uneasy and started an nives-
tigation. Almost Immediately
they discovered that the $500 in
cash was missing.
Police headquarters was noti-
fled and detectives were put on
Mecklenburg's trail at once. In
formation regarding the theft was
withheld by the police on request
of the Friedmans.
A warrant charging Mecklen-
burg with larceny of 5000 was is
sued Monday afternoon by Police
Judge Graham.
Pack Up and Go.
Detectives are said to have
learned that Mecklenburg visited
the store Sunday afternoon with
his wife. They had packed up all
tHclI uciOHBiu6s, anu hOtAiCiu lhO
manager of the Merit hotel, 315 "
So. 18th ST., where they had been
residing, that they had found
other quarters.
After a brief stop in the store,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mecklenburg started
off, each carrying suitcases. That
is the last trace ound by the police.
Police departments in cities
along the route of all transconti-
mental railways have been fur
Aished with descriptions of the
couple.
1t is reported that neither
Mecklenburg or his wife made
many friends during their stay in
Tacoma, and little Is known OF
them here. The man is Rus.
sian Jew by birth.

This Ought TO
Be An Election
With a Thrill!

A SCHOOL ELECTION WITH A
THRILL IN IT! That's what is coming up
in Tacoma.
Every school election is important, for the
bearing it may have on our great school sys-
tenn. But like many other important at
fairs, we usually pay little attention to it.
This time however, it promises to be diff
ferent. For we are to elect three members
of board of five. That means the entire
control of school affairs hangs in the bal.
ance.
Tacoma must decide right away what
policy it wants carried out in it's school sys-
tenn. If it is pleased with the holdover men,
bers, it should plan to elect additional peO-
pie of their way-of thinking. If it desires
change it must decide what the change is to
be.
Then it must see to it that THREE, not
one or two, but three, candidates who rep
resent this idea come forward.
Then it must elect them.
This means good deal of study of our
school system, good deal of inquiry into
candidates, good deal of bother.
Yes, but the sort of bother every voter
must be willing to undergo. The bother
that spelled Alright means good citizenship.
The bother of being well informed and alive
and community force.
