BiOrklund Wants to
Open Tacoma AS
Neutral Port"
Men To Vote
SEATTLE LICE COURT
CHARGED WITH BEING
SCAB AGENCY

SEATTLE, July while the
solidarity of the workers was
driving the strike forward to
enter its third month, n new
attempt to sell them out was
announced today, proposed by
John c. BjOrklund, coast secre-
tary of the international Long
shorcmen's Association.
BjOrklund's proposal is that
Alaska shipping be moved 70
Tacoma, because Tacoma has no
guards and is a neutral port. "
However, as the proposal
was made to move Alaska ship
ping to Tacoma, the request
that Tacoma life and property
must be protected by special
police was made by two big in
dustries. One came from +. l..
DUPONT de NemOurs and Com
pany which had IA cargo of nj
tratcs due and the other was
from the Tacoma smelter which
has 5000 tons of South Amer
lean ore awaiting to be I'M
loaded.
A vote will be taken Thurs
day morning by the lOngshore-
men as whether or not they
viii fall for the threat and load
in Seattle or whether they will
remain solid and force the Wa
terfront Employers to grant
their demands for better cOndi-
tiOns.
AnOt h Gr development in
the strike situation is the pro-
pOsal that the government
owned Alaska railroad will
charter and operate vessels to
the Northland. Col. Otto +.

Railroad, was due in Seattle

gotten to mention the sit-tight
position of the bosses, who re-
fuse to give the workers their
demands.
1t was reported today by po-
lice court attendants that traf-
fic violators, if unable to pay
their fines are offered, in some
instances, the alternative of
either serving their sentences
in Jail or as special deputies
protecting strike breakers at
Pier al.
In San Francisco, police again
fired into the picket lines at
tempting to fOrcibly open the
port. At least twenty-six were
injured in the hand-to-hand bat
tie when police used gas bombs
as well as shot guns.

MILWAUKEE, June 29th
With 800 street car men strik-

work ers demonstrated an d
stopped all street car and bus
service last night.
Socialist mayor Hoan re-
manned silent while 81 workers
were arrested and the Electric
Company turned a stream of
high pressure water over the
stone wall surrounding the
plant on the pickets, who were
preventing the cars from leav-
ing the barns. Angered, the
pickets climbed the wall, were
met with clubs and company
thugs. This despite the fact
that the Socialists boast that
no private detective agencies
and police are permitted in

be done the cause and good
name of organized labor and no
substantial assistance would be
accorded striking longshoremen.
Public opinion will not sup
port workers who engage in
sympathetic strike and who vio-
late contracts in doing so. I
urge the Central Labor Council
to become aggressively active
in opposing sympathetic strike.
The telegram arrived in Sc
attic at the office of Charles
Doyle, reactionary Secretary of
the Council, one day before
the Council meeting. News
papers received word of it, and
Harlin and Beck chimed in with
Green on the strike breaking
wave length.
After Doyle had read the
telegram in the G. L. c. meet
ing last Wednesday, numerous
rank and file delegates jumped
to the floor and hailed Green's
unsolicited missive as a strike
breaker.
The protest provoked by the
telegram is evidence that the
majority of the A. F. of L..
workers in the Northwest have
come to recognize Green, and
his local satellites, Doyle, Le-
vine, Harlin, Johnson, Early
and Beck, as their most dang
erOus enemies in the time of a
crucial working class struggle.
