SETTLEMENT Of,
STRIKE Is NEAR
Continued from pags IL

the last 10 deprecate labor's asser-
. ton OF its rights, but labor should
shrink from an alliance with the
criminal designs of the kaiser when
arbitration machinery is available.
Striking without first using that ma
chinery must be strongly condemned.
Il know nothing of the merits Of
the strike on the Pacific coast, and
il is not within the province of
visitor like myself 10 attempt to
Judge of those merits But nothing
could be more fatal, II protracted
and embittered, than the ship build
ing strike on your west coast. Ship
ping is the prime necessity OF the
allies at the present moment. We of
Australia and New Zealand, most dis
tant of all the allies, deeply feel our
dependence on ocean commerce in
this crisis. We can only dsplore any
cessation OF ship building as of direct
assistance to Germ anys criminal sub
marine campaign
II have had enough experience to
know that in large proportion of
cases the workmen do not strike
until there has been large measure
of evaporation. War times seem
unfortunately prolific In Industrial
misunderstanding. The real need is
for clear understanding by the gov
eminent of the workers and for more
confidence by the workers in the gov
ernments."
Premier Holman emphasized that
he was speaking of the world ship
ping situation, not specifically of that
in the United States, with which he

Workers should take their griev-

ing" he said. Every man and
every horse that America sends to
the front will call for fresh effort
by the shipping yards. A dispute
there Is blow at the vitals of the
nation and the nations friends"
City Fairly Quiet
BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 20.-Colored
troops will be sent to Butte to sup

cording to report here today.
The city is fairly quiet since the
mines reopened Monday. The COM
panies claim the number of working
miners is increasing while the Metal
Mine Workers union today announced
that the situation is still favorable
to the cause of strikers.
Peace Seems Near.
PORTLAND, Ore. Sept. 30.--Peace
seemed near today In the Portland
