THE SEATTLE STRIKE

1t is not altogether matter of
mere chance that the first serious
general strike that has now taken
place in the United States should
break out in Seattle, in the stale CT
Washington. General strikes "aye
often been called beforc--but
they have never been successful
Public sentiment, even when .r,;sted
on the side Of the strikers, has been
opposed to the sudden blocking Of all
the channels of normal industry he
cause Of dispute between employers
and employees over questions Of
wages or hours. 1t has remained for
Seattle, large and prosperous COM
munity, to give the first real example
Of an almost complete cessation Of
labor in q controversy Of this kind.
The Pacific coast has always been
particularly favorable TO these violent
agita1ions. Forty years ago Dennis
Kearney and his sand lots demcNstra-
tions kept San Farncisco in condi-
ton of constant turmoil. More re-
Gently California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and neighbOring States
have been the scenes of innumcrable
l. w. W. depredations, wherein crops
were burned, the machinery in save
mills wrecked and other forms 81 sa-
botage practiced. All this has &C.
curred despite the fact that the Fa-
cife coast Commonwealth have I'D
in all sorts OF radical and seni-So-
cialistic legislation, whereby the
rights of workers have been safe
guarded. 1t is not against oppressive
or intolcrablc conditions, buc because
Of the exceptionally favorable local
environment. that the strikers IN Sc
attic have ceased from labor. Their
wage scales have been high. and the
cost Of living no greater than II the
East. Indeed, if we may behave en-
thusiastic boomers, their lot has been
cast in Gods own country.
If there is to be an outbreak Of
Bolshevism in the United States it IS
likely to make its first appearance
on the Pacific coast. The aimos-
phere there seems TO breed such radi-
cal:sm. Possibly this Seattle out
burst, wherein the chief grierente
appears to be thav mechanics 10 not

be the first symptom. For this rca-
son it will bear watching.-(Pniladel-

SEATTLE STRIKE ENDS
Sympathetic Walkout Will Not Take
Place-Dissension in Labor's
Ranks tpnareut


Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1.-THE SYM

general strike was called, "hop2d it
would soon be settled" but admit
ted they are no closer to an agree
