Blanton said young Farley wrote.
Il left and went to the House
Office Building and called you by
long distance and I remember the
connection was bad, but thought
that you understood who I was and
what I wanted to do. When you
mentioned the Reporter-News, said
would wire them. The House West
ern Union was closed, so I called the
telephone operator and told her I
wanted to send message, which I
did. and told her to charge it to my

and picket lines of the Longshore-
mems and Transfers Unions sur
rounding the strike-bound news

tered today on an emergency
meeting of Washington State pub
fishers to be held here tomorrow.
The meeting was called through
Robert Mount, Of Portland, secre-
tary of the Pacific Northwest
Newspaper Alliance.
In issuing the call for the meet
ing, Mount invited every member
Of the two publishers associations
operating within the State-the
Allied DailieS Of Washington and

citation, the latter including week
ly newspapers-to attend.
It was indicated that most OF
the State newspapers. despite the
fact the Post-Intelligencer is
competitor in many instances, are
banded together in the fight to
restore Seattle's only morning
newspaper to circulation.
A number of State newspapers
have claimed that the enforced
suspension Of the Post-Intelligen-
Ger is only the latest and most
spectacular phase of a growing
dictatorship by Seattle racketeers"
which has subjected citizens Of
their own communities to outrages
when they attempt to dispose Of
their farm produce in Seattle.
In this connection members Of
the Transfers union recently have
been reported stopping trucks
driven by farmer owners en- route
with produce to the Seattle docks.
The farmers were said to have
been forced to employ a union
driver to take the truck on the

the produce by longshoremen.
Members of the Transfers union
together with longShoremen and
maritime workers have been most
active in the picket lines which
have prevented members of the
Typographical, PresSmen and
Mailers unions from fulfilling
their contractual obligations to
the strike-bound newspaper. Mem
bers of these unions recently pro-
tested to William L. Green, preSi-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor. asking that the Seattl
Central Labor Council be forced
to diSist in its listing of the Post
Intelligencer as unfair.
Meanwhile, the law and order
league of Seattle citizens, organ
lied to return constitutional gov
eminent to this city," is growing
by leaps and bounds, according 10
it's sponsors.
The strike at the Post-Intelli-
gencer was called by % members
of the American Newspaper Guild

the strike was called to force re-
