The rate has been $2 for ten hours’ work. Several of the lumber dealers refused to meet the de- mand. At the Humboldt Lumber Com- pany’s yard half a dozen men walked out and seven laborers employed by E. B. & A. L. Stone went on strike. At the Puget Sound Lumber Company's yards the raise was allowed while vessels now at docks are being discharged. The men affected are not steadily employed. They claim that they had given ample notice of the demand for a raise, “The lumber dealers will not recognize the demand permanently,” said . B.

There is a wide difference of opinion be- tween the growers and the canners as to what constitutes ‘“standards.” Wagon- | loads of fruit, peaches and apricots, have been dumped at the canneries, only to be turned back to the growers after tests which it is claimed by the canners showed the fruit to be undersized.
