 ABOUT SITUATION
 IN SEATTLE CITY

w. G. Johnson of the Juneau the City Council returned to Jn- neau on the Princess Mary this morning from business trip Out side He says he is very glad to be back in Juneau again. There s lots of business" says MT. John- son, "but conditions are awful. There is so much unrest-everything so unsettled in Seattle and elsewhere. Everyone lives in a world of un- certainty. At the present time the printers, carpenters and tailors are on a big strike The tailors want q seven-hour day and $44.00 per week wages; the carpenters are de- manding $7.50 per day. The ship yard strike which was talked of will be nothing serious as the shipyards are not taking any new contracts and according as the boats are completed, men are being laid Off.
 By January first most of the contracts will have been completed and it is estimated that at least 10,- 900 men shall be laid off. There are fifty unfinished boats still tied up at Lake Union. These are being dismantled and the, machinery is being shipped to all parts of the country.
 "I do not think much is to be gained by strikes in Seattle at the present time ,as employees are keep ing open shop. The employers are not meeting the union scale wage. Non-union men are going to work everywhere and labor is easy to get right now.
 "The cost of living is at least B per cent. higher in Seattle to- lay than it is in Juneau. One has to only make trip to the outside 70 convince himself that Juneau is the best place after all"
