Strike Is Started Promptly
On Time Thousands Of
Workers Stop Street
Cars Are Sent To Barn
And Other Industries Stop

Seattle, WASH, Feb. 6.-Seattles
general strike was called at the sched-
uled time, 10 a. M, today. First re-
ports from the downtown sections said
union street car men started their
cars for the barns at 10 o'clock, union
elevator operators in all the large
buildings abandoned their cars and
restaurants closed their doors when
their union cooks and walters left.
Most of the city stores announced
they would remain open as long as
their stocks last. When their shelves
are empty they will be unable to re-
plenish them as the truck drivers were
among -the strikers. M
Telephone operators remained at
their posts, according to reports. Sc
attle expects to have lights tonight as
the strike committee of the central la
Dor council last night voted to exempt
from the strike the engineers in the
municipal lighting plants.
Schools may be forced to close by
the strike of janitors and engineers,
the Office of the superintendent Of
schools stated. Moving picture houses
may not open, it was believed, as they
will be crippled by the strike of oper-
ators and musicians. e..
Today's general walkout was called
ny IAOy OSdSIAO ,CCuIfdA AdOOr SOul1ClA
as a systematic move to help ship
yard workers who, numbering about
$4,000 closed the big Seattle shipyards
by striking January 21 for higher
pay. S9 HM.
The shipyards workers who are
affiliated with the metal trades coun-
Gil, asked the mechanic be paid
eight dollars a day and helpers and
.laborers seven and six. dollars day.
The metal trades members made
their demands when they announced
that they, were dissat tisfied with the
findings OF a federal wage adjustment
commission known as the. Macy
board.
Charles Piez, director general of
the emergency fleet corporation, was
quoted in a dispatch from Wilkes
barre, Pa, last night as saying that
the Seattle shipyard workers, in strik-
ing, had disregarded a pledge made
with the government that they would
remain under the jurisdiction of the
Macy board until March 81.
Union labor leaders declare that
virtually $4,000 union members are on
strike in Seattle. This number includes
the $4,000 who walked out of the
shipyards January FL. The general
strike, they said, was the first ever
called in the United States.
Mayor Hansin issued a statement
today declaring that law and order
will prevail. Business as usual" will
be the sign at the city hall and the
city plants, he asserted.

SIX ROYAL HUSSARS
 FEATURE AT LOEW'S

The Six Royal Hussars, a female sextette of cultivated musicians and Vo- calists, took the headline honors on the bill at Loews Bijou for the first halt of the week presented to capacity audi ences yesterday. This talented aggrega tion offer an act that pleased all class es, the lovers of classical selections, and others who preferred jazzy numbers, the whole combining a most pleasing enter tainment.
 The playlet, we Us and Co., present. ed by J. Edwin Lessig and company, held the undivided attention of the audience from start to finish. The offering is far above the usual vaudeville sketch, ir that it is entirely original and presentei by capable performers. happy com bination of sentiment and comedy makes the act thoroughly enjoyable
 Fields and Wells furnish the comedy feature of the bill with a experimentation of song hits, parodies and comedy talk. Peddricl1 and DeVere made a decided hit with song and up to the minute dances. Sylvester, a card manipulator, opened the bill and presented number of clever tricks, but his accompanying monologue is tiresome to a degree.
 The picture features are well up to the Loew standard with the adorable Peggy Hyland's starring in Cheating Herself. a screen comedy drama that is full Of interest an animated cartoon that is a scream and news pictures of unusal in terest.

STREET RAILWAYS
 TROUBLES AGAIN
 BEING DISCUSSED
City Governments Better Than State Committees, Is View of Baker,
 Who Is Expert
By Associated Press

Washington, August 11.-Troubles of traction companies serving Ameri- can cities were again the subject of consideration from manifold viewpoints today, when the federal electric rail- ways commission resumed it's sessions after two weeks recess. Secretary of War Baker. classed as an expert on street car troubles by reaosn of his in heritance of Tom Johnson's methods in Cleveland had the stand much of the day
 City governments are better-for traction company affairs than state committees, Mr. Baker said The 7-eent fare he classed as a psychological ne- cessity, adding that it's elimination in most cities would cut the heart out of the profitable short haul business.
 The street railway problem is essen tially d local one" Mir Baker said. Medicine for one community is Noison for another. The solution of the street railway proble mis one of popular edu- cation"
 Cooperation between the railroad employes and arrangements along the lines of the Plumb plan proposed for steam roads, MT. Baker thought was possible if the public interest was clearly kept paramount.
 Asked by Commissioner Gadsden if increases in fares for companies In dire straits would not be the emerg- ency remedy, MT, Baker said he thought it was possibly the only way to re- establish services where no return is secured on capital invested now.
 But if fares are raised they ought to be raised by the people who are to pay it." Mir. Baker said. If 1t is done otherwise, it will be resented"
 Roger Rabson, statistician blamed automobiles for much of the traffic loss, with 5000 street cars Tn Massachus- etts, there are 1S6,000 automobiles run ming He suggested that paving charges against the companies should be lifted, and general taxes on the business re- moved, after which he suggested that street cars and jitneys should be per mitted to fight out their future on ba- sis of service"
 Other witnesses heard were Lieu tenant Colonel Kutz, engineering com missioner for the District of Columbia, who suggested municipal ownership of car tracks, but not of operating equip ment. and John P. Fox of New York. who said that reorganization and refi- nancing of American roads, with re- duction of capital accounts as an ob- iect would allow the 5-cent fare to be retained, and even permit the estab lishment of 2-cent rate for very short hauls.

Charlie Wilson demon strated the fact that nut" comedy is sure winner anywhere. for while he had comparatively nothing new his personality and the ability to put one over" pleased and he received a great reception from the audience.
 Gruet Kramer and Gruet, in a clever comedy skit, "A Circus Day iH Georgia" is an enjoyable attraction and their offering was well received.
