STOP ALL BUILDING _ Walkout of 5,000 ; Men in_ Building Trades Has Far- reaching Results; Work in 20 Ship- building Plants at Standstill Seattle is in the throes of a sympathetic strike, which is affecting every industry in which lumber is used.

Henry M.

Both des councils, and also the Seat- tle Central Labor Council, have gone on record as opposing the use of 10-hour lumber and in favoring fa refusal to work with it.” } Brown declared that this means that the steel shipyards wili be gradually crippled, as the effects of the carpenters’ walkout fs felt until it will be necessary to either nettle the strike by agreeing to use only eight-hour lumber or close down. Brown said that he did not know whether there was sufficient eight- hour lumber for the yards or not. “The idea of the strike,” he said, “is to force a settlement of the eight-hour strike so that from the workers’ standpoint it is imma- terial whether there is sufficient | eight-hour lumber or not.” Brown bitterly denounced Judge John 8.
