Way Paved to End
Carpenters Strike
By Employers Act
Association Agrees to Recall
Lockout Order and Open
Negotiations if the Unions
Declare Walkout Over

Ronald Taylor, president of the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
tion last night opened the door to
possible settlement Of the labor trou-
bles within the trade. He announced
that his organization would waive the
return to work of striking carpenters
and Immediately begin negotiations
with the union if the latter body
would formally declare the strike off.
"He has not said that to u.s." said
William L. Hutcheson, international
president of the carpenters, when Mr..
'Iaylor's statement was repeated to
him. Until now the association has
| insisted on the return of the men to
work. That is physical impossibility
in view of the fact that some have
been idle for three; months or more
and all are widely scattered.'
whether or not such an offer, if
made to him, would be accepted, Mr..
Hutcheson declined to state, but he in
tlmated that any such offer would re-
celye respectful consideration.
Mr.. Taylor declared the position of
ms association in the course of talk
with reporters who pointed out that
lnsistence on the return to work of
all the men before entering into peace
negotiations might mean a deadlock
we do not ask that the men re-
turn" he said. within two hours
from the time that we are notified
that the strike has been declared off,
our committee will be ready to go into
conference with committee of the
carpenters and take up every griev-
ance they may have. The lockout

OF the governors fixing $3.50 as the
day rate for 1919 will be revoked.
That price was fixed merely to serve
notice on all that we proposed to have
scale for this year and in an effort
to stabilize trade conditions.
We insist, however, on the formal
calling off of the strike rather than
establish precedent of dealing with
men on strike. When negotiations be
grn strike or a lockout--it works
both ways-must be declared off,
Mr.. Hutcheson declared that SO far
as he knew a formal strike has not
been declared in this city
"lt u.s." said he, true that men have
quit. work, but they quit as individuals
So far as l know, it is not true that
their business agents called any mon
out until after the employers associa.
tion had declared q lockout.
AS TO creating precedent by deal
ing with men on strike. such a prece
dent was established In this city in
1916. | came here then and found the
men on strike. The employers said
they could not deal with me until tie
men vent back. I told them they could
not be induced to go back without
some raise in wages. An increase of
30 cents n day was granted, and or.
dered the men back. Some I4,00o of
them refused to 60, and wc Immediate
cancelled their charters and dropped

Bolsheuik Agitators
Should BE Deported,
Says Senator johnson
NeaU York Tribune
IYnsdi,nto, R.,.

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The depor-
tation OF Bolshevik agitators was pro-
posed in speech in the House TODAY
by Representative Albert johnson. of
washington, during a discussion of
the effect of the Seattle ship workers
strike on building operations at the
Puget Sound Navy Yard.
Il am informed that the Commits
sloner of immigration at Seattle, repre-
sentlng the immigration service in that
part OF the country, stated that he
would take no steps toward the de-
portat!on of these men," said Repre-
seentatlve Johnson. "My suggestion is
.his, without knowing much about the
details of these strikes, which began
only last Thursday, that if our GOV.
ernment officials will proceed under
the Federal laws which we have
enacted here in Congress and deport
those aliens who come here, undertak
ing 20 tell how to run our government
and our affairs, we will have less
trouble from these strikes.
IL was astonished to read the Est
OF names, and what they had to saw
about the United States, and to learn
mat no steps were proposed to deport
them People can think of that as
they are suffering from strikes which
paralyze. every activity in two great
c'ties OF The. Pacific Northwest.
81 have often wondered whv Il is
mat SO many people in the United
States insist that these foreigners. who
come here and preach not only from
pulplts. but from soap boxes, telline
Us how to run our government on an
international plan, should be allowed
TO remain here, whereas if anyone OF
US should go to Russia or Japan or any
other country and undertake to tell
them how to run and operate their af.
tairs. we would find there would be
very short Shift for US,
1T is time for the United States
70 get busy and do a little bit on its
own account for its own people"

Minor Disturbances
Cause arrest of Fiuc
On Strike at LaaUrenc.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 7.--Five
men and girl were arrested for minor
disturbances in connection with picket
ing about the time the mill gates open
ed to-day. Otherwise the textile strike
situation here remained entirely quiet,
on the surface at least. The great
plants of the American Woolen Com
pany and the Arlington, Pacific and
Uswoco mills continued in operation,
but only in part. Where many thou
sands are nominally employed only
hundreds were at work to-day Unless
a break in the strike comes soon it is
expected the number at work will grow
still smaller, as the crlppling of the
production capacity in one depart
ment leads to shutdowns in others.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 1.-THE an
