THE SEATTLE STRIKE

II is always dtlcult, and often 1t is impossible, to
make a just estimate Of a local disturbance. such as a
strike for there often exist peculiar local conditions which
have been more influential in arraying group against
group than the specific things which are alleged as
causes OF the controversy. On the face of things. how
ever. the Seattle strike originated in the demand of the
shipbuilders for higher wages, and trades peoples in
other occupations have joined in a sympathetic strike
until the whole industrial life of the city is paralyzed.
1t is stated by Chas. Pez, director of the Emergency
Fleet corporation, that the strike of the shipbuilders Is
a breach Of faith on their part. they having accepted the
award Of a commission appointed for that purpose. and
agreed to be governed by its findings until a date sew
eral months hence. If this is true, the whole strike
movement is descredited as a piece of lawlessness. and
the Bolsheviki in Russia and the 1. w. w. in this coun-
try, one of whose cardinal principles it is that nobody
has any rights which the wage Garner is bound to re-
spect, and that the wage Garner does not owe even 70
himself that regard for his own agreements which is
usually supposed to be one of the indispensable elements
of decent human character. Mr.. Piez may not be cor
rect in his statement or Interpretation Of the facts, but
it is unfortunately true that a good many strikes have
been marked at their very inception by just this sort
OF contemptuous disregard of solemnly assumed opii-
cations. and the Bolshevik spirit seems to be particu-
Aside from the actual merits Of the controversy, Mayor
Hanson is to be commended for his determination. not
merely to maintain physical order. If he can, but to do
so through the regularly constituted civil agencies, sup
ported by the military, if necessary. 1t appears that
certain of the strikers had announced their intention of
taking over the water and light plants and operating
them during the strike, and also of policing the city. In
other words, the making of certain industrial demands
was to be made the pretext for a revolution in a great
American city. AS in Russia, whose present freedom
is so greatly admired by American Bolsheviki. indi-
viduals, possessing no authority whatever, We're to usurp
such of the functions as they chose to exercise, RELOCATING
the regularly constituted authorities to the rear. The
mayor does not intend that this shall be done; and an
nounced that the seat of government is still at the city
hall.
If it is necessary at this time to determine by actual
test whether or not orderly government is to continue,
the test may as well be made in Seattle as elsewhere.

said at Manchester. will be no party

from her tradition of isolation not to
plunge into the vortex of European
militarism. but to help Europe out
of that vortex. Her aim is not to es-

IF that aim is to be disregarded
America will have no choice but to

Mr.. Gardiner, during the progress of
which he gave me briefly his inter-
probation of recent events.
The Liberal party will live said
Mr.. Gardiner, "but the extent Of its

cannot be forecast. 1t will be a CEN

leaning toward the Conservatives, and
others kindly disposed toward the
Labor party"
The reader will remember that al
though the election brought over
whelming victory to the Coalition
forces. the Labor vote increased about
fourfold, largely because of OBJECTIONS
from the Liberal party. At the same
time. all the radical Laborite candi-

like Ramsay Macdonald, were sound

Mr.. Gardiner. that the Labor party
is not concerned merely with labor
problems, and matters affecting the
working classes. 1t has a broad pro-
