NO CHANCE OF
 A SETTLEMENT
Associated PreSS)

SEATTLE, July 2$.-A settlement of the car mems strike seems just as far away as eyer tonight. An attempt was made today to get the preSentatiVes of the strikers and the street car company officials to- gether on a plan for a settlement of the difficulties, but the proposal of the officials was rejected by the strikers
 The company, it is stated, has of fered minor concessions to it's em- ployees, but refuses them the right to join a national union or any other union which has the effect of es- tablishing a closed shop. In answer to this argument, and in refusal to negotiate with the company on these grounds, the street car men declare that the company's attempt to die tate the mems actions outside of work ing hours makes a settlement of the strike absolutely impossible at the present time.

SITUATION IN
 BELGIUM BAD
Associated Press)

HAVRE. July 2S.-News received here shows that the gradual strip ping of Belgium by the German troops of all it's resources in proVl- sions has brought about d critical situation A semi-Olticial communl- cation issued from the office of the German commandant reCOunts the circumstances of an incipient riot at Saint Giles, a suburb of Brus- sels Merchants having demanded the equivalent of fifteen cents each for eggs, the housewives revoted, over turned the baskets of the egg mer- chants and destroyed their stocks, The enraged public attacked vege- table merchants also because of their exaggerated demands.
 The report of the cOmmandant tell ing of the outbreaks is regarded by Belgians here as destined to create hostility between consumers and pro ducers, and distract attention from the fact that the eXorbitant prices of the necessaries of life in Belgium are due to the excessive demands of the occupying troops, that have not only devastated parts of the country but have sent farmers 10 Germany instead of leaving them to cultivate their own land.

The papers were taken to the post office as usual, but before the post office clerks came down to work that morning to get them from the door where they are always placed, the purser of the Canadian came along and, thinking that all the papers were for him, took them out with him. The result was that a large number of our creek, Valdez trail and city subscribers failed to get their papers on time.
