STRIKE STOPS WORK
ON MERCHANT SHIPS
TWENTY-ElGHT THOUSAND MEN
WALK OUT ON PACIFIC COAST
is PERSONS IN HOSPITAL.
REPORTED TO WASHINGTON
Employers Have Placed the Issue
Squarely Up To Federal Authorities,
Closing Down Their Plants and
Do Not Try To Operate.

San Francisco.-Strike riots and
disorders. in which Is persons receiv-
ed injuries necessitating hospital
treatment and 30 rioters were arrest
ed. continued throughout the day fol-
lowing the walkout of $4,000 iron
workers and shipbuilders, which
brought work to a standstill on more
than $150,000.000 of naval and mer-
chant vessel construction for the gov
eminent The strike is characterized
as the most extensive in the history
of the Pacific coast.
Full details of the strike and the
demands of the % unions involved for
higher wages have been reported to
Washington. The employers have
placed the issue Squarely up to the
federal officials, closing down their
plants and making no attempt to ope-
rate while they await government &C
ton.
The strikers, most of them skilled
mechanics, started the walkout when
the 10000 iron workers in the Oakland
and San Francisco plants of the Union
Iron Works laid down their tools The
strike spread rapidly until every ship
yard in the bay district was closed
down and more than 100 factories,
machine shops, automobile concerns
and other plants were affected.
No demonstrations took place in
connection with the iron workers
walkout against their employers, but
as the thousands of strikers left their
work and spread throughout the city
the worst rioting and disorders took
place in connection with the strike of
street car men since the employees of
the United Railways walked out five
weeks ago
Employers in the iron trades and
shipbuilding industry charged that
the strike of their men was largely
prompted by sympathy for the strik-
ing street car men.
In a statement issued by the Iron
Trades Council from union headquar-
tiers this charge was emphatically de-
MED and the mems side of the case
laid before the public. The statement
claims that the employers are get
ting all the war profits, while all the
men ask is a wage sufficient to main
tain their families in decent COM
fort
At a final conference of both sides,
the unions offered to reduce their
original demands of increases aver
aging 35 per cent to increases of 20
per cent for the men who are now
getting as low as s2.25 day and 10
per cent increase for others.
Answering the charges that the
men are unpatriotic in striking, the
statement points out that the strikers
and shipbUilders of the Union Iron
Works alone subscribed for s131, 900
of Liberty bonds.
