Gently one of the most severe
earthquakes in Pacific Northwest
history shook the towers without
apparent damage.
The bridge will be one Of the
longest in the world-2,S00 feet
the survey said, and effects of
earthquakes on structures of its
type are of great interest to en-
gineers.
Tests were conducted by shaking
the piers of the towers with
an electrically driven flywheel
equipped with eccentric weights
The flywheel was placed on the
piers and made to revolve at diff
ferent speeds.
Vibrations were registered on {
graph. enabling engineers to study
the towers vibration resistance
and helping them determine what
type of earthquake shock the
towers could withstand.
The earthquake center was de
termined to be on the Olympic
Peninsula, 40 miles from tn,
towers. Engineers said a quak,
that close should bring consider
able movement in such tall struc
lures as the bridge towers, bu

Puget Sound Orient Ships Still
Idle as Wage Squabble Continues

Strike of seamen aboard two
Puget Sound Orient Lines freight
ers-Satartia at Tacoma, and Col
lingsworth at Seattle-continue
at deadlock Saturday with both
vessels crewless and idle.
Negotiations between the union
and company were in progress late
Saturday, meanwhile leaving the
Northwest without American flag
service to the Orient.
Point of contention, according to
union spokesman representing the
sailors, is the method of paying
overtime.
Unionists declare they are en-
titled to full payment of wages
and overtime the day following
completion of voyage.
Wages for the voyage, company
officials said, were paid according
to federal law, but withheld pay
ment of overtime until time-sheets
could be checked.
Sailors and firemen walked off
the two vessels Thursday night
without explanation, while licensed
officers remained aboard.
The vessels were not picketed,
and no demonstration is being
made by the union.
The Satartia recently completed
her first voyage to the Orient. The
strike took place when she reach
ed Tacoma to complete her dis
| charge.
The Collingsworth was originally
scheduled to depart Nov. % for
her first voyage, but has not yet
been loaded due to picketing by
Masters, Mates and Pilots asso-
citation. That dispute was settled
Thursday night.
All four vessels of the Puget
Sound Orient Lines are owned by
the U. S. maritime commission and
are operated under direct orders
from that body.
Shippers declare they are par
ticularly hard-hit by the new tie
up, since Canada has recently with
