FORT SMITH, Ark, Dec. 9.-The
general strike called Friday night in
this city in sympathy with the 65 strik-

Southwestern Bell Telephone company,
became completely effective today and
tonight Fort Smith was without elec-
trio lights, power and street car
service
Each Of the "a craft organizations
affiliated with the Central Trades
council has answered the strike calf,
and approximately 1,100 men and
women members have ceased worE,
including the street car employees and
the printers. which organizations
broke contracts with their employers
by going on strike.
The shutting down of the local
power plant is considered the most
serious result Of the walkout as it has
furnished power to coal mines in this
section having combined output cf
about four thousand tons a day. These
have all been forced to shut down be.
cause of lack of power.
