THE TRACTION COMPANY has in
serted advertisements in the news
papers today stating that Seattle walks
because seven Tacoma carmen lost
their Jobs"


That is not the reason for the Seattle
street car strike.
The refusal of the Stone-Webster cor
poration, thru Manager Bean, of the Ia
coma company, to take back the seven
Tacoma men who were fired because they
joined the union, was only the spark that
touched off the magazine.
Every one in Seattle knows the real
reason why 900 employees of the company
are on strike in this city.
1t is because they insist upon their
American right to organize. SO that they
may get decent working conditions and
living wage.
No amount of bunk, and beating about
the bush, can change the issue
-
Z VERY Seattle citizen, every Seattle
IL business man, every person except
that little handful which believes in the
exploitation of the many for the enrich
ment Of few, should be on the side of
the trainmen in this strike.

pARKEN GRAY HAIR,
 LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur darkens so naturally
 that nobody can tell.

Hair that loses It's color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Su1- phur to keep her locks dark and beau tifuI and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which Is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a 5O-cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell 1t has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time- By morn ing the gray hair disappears: but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, Is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair aftcr a few applications. it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it ar appearance of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite to irnpart color and a youthful appear ance to the hair. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

LORD FISHER SCORED
 BY ADMIRAL MEUx
Branded Him as a Deserter for Quit
 ting His Post.

London, Feb. 2e. 6:o6 D. m.-Admiral Sir Hedworth Meux, member of the house of commons at Portsmouth, at which port he is chief, in criticizing in the house today those who wished to bring Lord Fisher, former first sea lord, back to the ad miralty, said:
 Lord Fisher deserted his post like a traitor"
 There were cries of dissent at this juncture-
 Well" went on Admiral Meux, eff he had been a soldier or sailor, he would have been shot.
 This hydra-headed intrigue, to bring Lord Fisher back, declared the speaker, was headed by persons who had failed, and if there was one way to lose the war it was to bring back those who had failed.
 George Lambert, member for the north division of Devonshire, expressed regret at the withdrawing of Admiral Jellicoe from the command W the fleet, characterizing it as a dubious proceeding" very much like withdraw ing Nelson a month before Trafalgar.
 In his opinion a gigantic effort was necessary tos deal with the submarine menace.
