Strikers Official Spokesman
Declares Not Slightest Sign
of Break in Ranks; RidicuIes
Threat of Martial Law.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. s-"There Is not
the slightest indication of a break in
labor's rank. The strike will go on
until the demands of the shipyard
workers are granted. We are pre-
pared to feed the entire city il neces-
sary for an indefinite period"
This statement was made at s a.
m. today by E. B. Ault, publisher of
the Union Record and official spokes-
man for the 10000 strikers, who, for
the first time in history. tied up an
American city in a general strike.
AT o'clock this morning there was
not the slightest indication of a re-
turn to work by any of the strikers"
said Ault.
THE various committees are reach
ing out in every direction for set
tlement, as they have been since the
strike started-and for many weeks
prior.
"RATTLE BRAIN MAYOR"
Last night was one of the quiet
est ever experienced in the city.
I'VE do not fear martial law. 1t is
inconceivable that the government will
back up the hysteri1>e declaration of
a rattle brain mayor, who Is appar-
emily spelling for riot. We do not
believe the United States government
can be used in this day and age to
force men to work who are striking
for a principle.
The strike will go on until the de-
mands of the shipyard workers are
granted. There is not the slightest
indication of break in our ranks
and we are prepared to feed the en-
tire city if necessary for an indefinite
period"

Approximately 10000 to 1888 and re-

heaIthful conditions at Brest
Our last sick reports from there
were most excellent.
"And the charge that we are trying
TO accommodate 10000 at Brest when
there is only room for 1000, is shown
to be ludicrous by the statement that

EARLY ACTION ON .SHOPMEN'S DEMAND IS |ND|CAT ) BY
 HINES ACTIVITIES
Another Rate Increase or Congressional Appropria- ton Will Be Necessary to Provide Funds for
 Wage Advances
By Axsociatsd Press


 Washington, August 20.-- Early action to settle unrest in the ranks of railroad employees who have been demanding new wage increases, was forecast today.
 After lengthy conference with the represents tives of the six shop crafts, Director General Hines went to the White House to discuss with Presi- dent Wilson the problems facing the railroad administration, While no an nouncement was made, it was under stood that the entire question was re- viewed. including the obvious neces- sity for an increase in rates or aa~ other congressional appropriation to provide funds for any wage advance that may be made, since the adminis- tration has been mourning deficit ev- cry month this year due 70 the falling off in business and the higher cost of labor and materials.
 MT. Hines promised the shopmen' $ leaders that he would give careful consideration to all the facts pre- sented and would endeavor to reach a final decision in the near future, in- dicatng that he will order into effec. any changes in the wage scale withnlt referring the demands to board for investigation
 The shopmens demands were pre- sented in the spring to the board of railway wages and working conditions, which took extensive testimony and then divided evenly for and against q raise Delay in acting on the demands eventually resulted in the recent unau- thorized strikes in many sections of th; | country.
 H. C. l.. NOT RESPONSIBLE l Leaders of the shopmen. outlining ths reasons for their demands, said that they did not rest primarily on the in i creased cost of living, although tha. was a contributing factor but were based on the proposition that the wasea | of railroad shopmen ought 10 be more | in line with wages for similar work 1 in other industries.
 | Tn some quarters this statement was i interpreted to mean that any wage ta offset the higher prices of today. car rying the intimation that reduction would be in order if prices come down would be unacceptable. It was claime- l by the union officials that the wage. l paid railroad shopmen are materially ! lower than those paid shopnen in pri- vate industries and m shipyards and | navy yards under government con l troi The minimum rate paid by the | railroads now is 6S cents an hour which is asked to be advanced to g. cents an increase Of 25 per cent. Until the shopmen's demands are oui of the way Mfr. Hines Is not taking nr 1 the dema ands of other classes of eni- ployes, virtually all of whom wani | more money.

 SMALL PACKERS
Independent Representatives Declare They Are Meeting and Furnishing Lively
 Competition
nv A.,oeI.,.s ,l, rrss.

Washington, August 20.--Independent packers appearing before the Senate agricultural committee today chal- lenged most of the statements of the federal trade commission On which proposals for stringent regulation of the five dominant concerns in the in- dustry are based.
 The independent representatives in- sisted that they were meeting and fur nishing lively competition, at both ends of the industry-in the purchase of live stock for their plants, and in the sale of meats to the retailers, and expressed the conclusion that the law of supply and demand would serve sufficiently 10 protect the consumer. Their view was supplemented by that of a retail butcher, and given minor support in the appearance of a vegetable cannery re- presentative and the head of milk condensing business, to object to licens- ing provisions of the Keynon bllis which they felt would apply to their business if not changed.
 .Comittee members, particularly Sena- tor Kenyon, republican, Iowa, author of the regulation measure, and Senator Capper. republican of Kansas, put to the packer representatives pointed questions bearing on the establishment of the American Institute of Packing its Washington offices, and activities as well as entering into the subject oi profits.
