There were other men who followed them from plain damn fool- ishness. Today this Bolshevik-sired nightmare is at an end. A week ago today The Star in an editorial said: “A showdown is at hand—a showdown for all of us —a test of Americanism—a test of your American- ism.” Americanism stood the test. The Star knew it would. All Seattle except a small misguided part knew that it would stand the test—or any test. Now our Americanism faces a new test—the test of the square deal. This means a square deal for the victims of the | Bolshevik leaders, who must not be made to suffer for others’ crimes. It means a square deal for the Bolshevik leaders—an American square deal for them, which is prosecution of them in a federal _. court for their crimes. i: BRITISH KING (SHIPWAGES CONSERVATIVES OPENS MEETING UP IN SENATE AT TACOMA ARE OF PARLIAMENT <.%0"s~se"" STAGING FIGHT senate te xd . resolution LONDON, Feb.

Editor Star: Your paper Your editorials before the revolution came drew line between the Bolsheviks and patriots. You warned all true citizens, union and otherwise, of the disaster impending, and you declared for Americanism. And you backed up your declara tion by exercising your right as an American in- stitution to publish a newspaper without crawling to leaders who thought they were stronger than our gov- ernment. 1 congrtaulate union workmen who stood by their guns, despite the anarchistic order of the Reds. Your editorials called the people to arms and all decent Seattle today thanks you. Without your editorial support and the free gift of one hundred thousand papers to the city government so that I could reach the peo- ple, the revolution would still be in progress and might have led, as the Bolsheviks’ organ said, “to no one knows where.” On behalf of myself as mayor, on behalf of all the American people of this city, I thank you, men of The Seattle Star.

While the general strike was ordered ov at noon by the conference of union leaders yé terday, the bustle and rush of the city’s busine district was again in evidence long before scheduled hour. Street cars continued in operation since urday afternoon, the men refusing to abide the eleventh-hour order of the strike commit that they discontinue yesterday afternoon remain on strike till today noon. Similarly se eral other unions began work Mondial Tuesday morning. fe Restaurants along the downtown stree opened sharply at the stroke of noon. were back in the kitchens and the members 4 the Waitresses’ union once more donned thei aprons. At noon Tuesday Seattle tooted its whistles and ed its civic gear into “high” again, as the five-day 83 thetic strike of workmen came to a close. Business did its best to make up for lost time. Street crowds hastened to deferred shopping, throngii | the avenues and fe stores. Markets, shops, groceries, theatres—places of merce and amusement—combined to restore the intel social and industrial life of the harried North metropolis. “Speed up,” was the word everywhere. This evening will see the opening of all the city’s atres and motion picture houses. A number had operated Monday evening. In strike circles Tuesday morning the principal of discussion was the action of the street car When the committee decided Monday that the strike today, they stipulated that those unions already at should again quit their jobs in order that all union in the city might go back together. : A number in . This the street car men refused to do. teamsters, however, listened to the strike committee and failed to show up for work Tuesday morning, completing their rounds Monday. The barbers, too, steadfastly remained at their ch in spite of the dictates of the labor leaders. “A further strike would be of no additional b to organized labor,” is the way the carmen expressed fl opinion in a resolution. Mayor Hanson had ordered that all municipal car ployes would be considered to have relinquished their if they walked out a second time. No such order went from the traction company headquarters, the men de of their own initiative that one strike enough. Fear that workmen who i participated in the gen- eral walkout might be discriminated against by employ was an adimittedly big actuating motive in the | 5 eleventh-hour decision for a final demonstration. The big strike ends after five days’ duration. Hows — ever, the backbone of the strike was virtually broken by” Saturday, after two days of the walkout. It was on urday morning that the strike committee gathered at the bor temple to take up the proposition of calling the strike off. i While no date was set at that time for the return of men to work, street cars began operation Sat afternoon and by Sunday morning traction traffic was: normal, ; The strike passed off without any rioting or di turbances. The only arrests made were in connection with: the tribution of Bolshevik leaflets entitled “Russi Did It. A few restaurants were open this morning, but gen ally, the eating places did not seek to open for business till this afternoon. The general strike has caused the city to appropriat: $50,000 for men and supplies for protection and prep: tive purposes. It is estimated that another $50,000 ape propriation will be made before the issue is finally settled. More than 8,500 emergeney policemen were employed, 600 being added to the police payroll. The mayev’s appoint- ments were ratified by the city council.
