Michael Fitzgerald, first of the eleven
hunger strikers in the Cork jail to sue

In a later bulletin the league says doc

he could while he was unconscious. Mac
Swiney Is quoted as saying that II any
attempt was made 10 feed him under
such conditions he would agaln commence
his hunger strike as soon as revived.
In his present state of extreme weak

SEATTLE'S
SITUATION is
DIFFERENT

Or. w. r. Christensen. port com
missioner. who has made a technical
study on behalf OF the commission
Of the effects Of the Jones ball. ex.
plains that shipping conditions in
San Francisco are radically different
frpm those In Seattle.
''seattie's prestige as port has
been built up since the war" said
DR.. Christensen, while San Fran.
cisco for many years mas been the
hnre Of established trade routes.
Carxoes leaving Seattle originate. for
the most part, east OF the Rockies.
and goods arriving In this port and
eouxixned TO the East. Seattle is a
transfer port between rail and sea.
This applies TO all cargoes. practical.
ly. save lumber. which Is not affect
q by the preferential rail rate. since
Il Is produced in this region.
s.San Francisco Is a great trading
center and has always been. for that
reason, a headquarters for American
and foreign lines.
sEsighty-five per cent Of Scattle's
ocean shipping lis carried In foreign
hottoms. The Jones bin would com
n1etely cut US off from this shipping.
Acause cargoes purchased In the
Orient are consigned directly from
purchaSe point to destination and are
naturally sent In vessels OF the
country TO which they are shipped
Atlantic ports. with the much
shorter rail haul. will receive such
shipments IL the Jones bill be-
comes operative. New Orleans is al
ready crowded with foreign bottoms.
British Columbia undoubtedly would
b greatly helped. Seattle. with a
harhor second to none. with the best
nafural routes across the Pacific,
vould be killed as a seaport"
