Seattle Strikers Are
Returning to Work

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 3.-Seattle tcle
phone strikers will begin returning to
work today as the result of the refer
endum vote taken Sunday when it was
decided to call off the strike which
has been on since October 81.
Strike leaders said that normal CON
ditions would prevail by tonight or
tomorrow morning.
f. l.. McNally, commercial superin-
tendent of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company said today that the
company would live up to the agree
ment and that none of the strikers
would be Disseminated against.
The girls, however, must apply for
their old jobs within seven days.
One of the principal points of the
agreement is the recognition of the
operators union. The girls will be al
lowed to wear their union buttons and
the company will deal with them
through their business agent.
The electrical workers, as well as
the operators, are affected by the set
tlement.
The decision to vote upon the agree
ment was made following a meeting
Saturday between the strikers and the
federal mediation mission at which
time the significance of the agreement
was explained to the workers.
Wages of the men will be increased
1919 per cent, while the hello girls will
receive increases ranging from Al to
lS.4 per cent.

viii Not Strike

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Dec. 3.-The rail-
way brotherhoods win not ''throw
down. the government during the war
crisis by ordering a strike. This was
the statement of A. B. Garrison, head
of the conductors brotherhood, TO the
United Press today.
He was insistent, however, that tho
railroad workers were justified in ask
ing wage increases, not having received
penny increase in actual cash for four
or five years.
The railroad workers in the classes
represented by the brotherhOods have
not received an increase in wages since
the increases granted in 19l2-13", Gar
retson said. "'The present high cost of
living makes it impossible for the rail
road workers to live with any degree
of deceney on the wage scales granted
in 1912. A 1917 increase is necessary
to guarantee a 1917 IIving.
The question of a strike is not on
my mind, and further than saying
don t think it is the intention of the
other brotherhood heads to call strike.
| cannot discuss that phase of the sit
uation. y

will be no possibility of favOritism or

the names of the first 625, 600 young

have nothing to do with the actual
drawing. They will number serlslly
all registration cards. Duplicate
cards bearing the serial numbers will
be sent to the Adjutant Generals
office in each State to prevent any
possibility of number being changed
on a card after the drawing has heen
made. The serial numbers for each
district will be placed in a wheel and
drawn until the requisite number has
been taken. The numbers will be
telegraphed and later mailed to each
local exemption board. The same
numbers drawn will apply, of course,
to each of the 5000 registration dis
tricts in the United States, so the ac-
tuaI drawing will take compara-

probably be made sometime around
