Us TO SUCH THINGS NOW “We're used to now.

There's one, he’s the strikers’ hero, He came up here a few days ago and ad- Cressed them. “I wish IT could call you men,’ he said. ‘I wish I could, but I can't. You let these scabs come to this mine and take your jobs ray. I wish 1 could call you men.’ “Inflammatory? Yes, Yet, if we locked that man up where he be- longs, he would still be their hero. He would be their martyr and his imprisonment, tho well deserved, might only advance his cause. But what is going to come of it if we don't do something? In a few years these little children, taught by their fathers and mothers and grand- mothers, who haven't cared enough of America to become citizens, will themsclves be citizena. And what kind of citizens will they be? PROMISED IMPOSSIBLE THINGS BY FALSE LEADER “These people, these strikers, are being misled. They are being promised impossible things by lead. such things ers who know the promises cannot! be fulfilled. That's why they're stay- ing here—because of these im- possible promises and threats that, if they quit the strike, they will be blacklisted everywhere. Truckloads of provisions are being hauled into the strike area. ple need provisions. One English- man, who went to work in the mine two weeks before the strike, said: “The blighters! See what they've done to me! They let me work two weeks, then locked me out, and here I am out of funds, as you say, flat.” Without a dependent in the world, without a care except for hie own welfare, this Englishman had remained in Black Diamond since last March with his hands in his pockets and his voice joining in the chorus: “You dirty scabs. Why don’t you came a go back to the country you from and give real Americans ebanee to work?” And the men now at the mine, digging coal, are nearly all of them Americans, born here or naturalized, many of them overseas veterans. With the injunction of Judge Ronald in effect, these men can new go and come from the mine without being hooted at and do- rided, J 2 ME GIRLS TO SHAME “SCABBIE” Just one more incident: A young overseas veteran, look ing for a job, was employed by company tg drive a coal de livery truck, His first appearance on the street atop the truck caused an outburst from the razzberry chorus.

The men then would Appeal to the board for relief and| the hearing would be called, WAGE CUT PLAN DECIDED ON The whole procedure, according to one high official, was mapped out ft Washington last week. This whirl of events jolted the brotherhoods in the last 24 hours: Railroad executives met. They carried out their schedule to cut wages and of later avking the inter- state commerce commission to slash freight rates after wages were trim- med UNION MEN FACE PROBLEM Brotherhood chiefs asked for a con- ference. This was granted. Ex- ecutives merely told the brotherhood jchiefs what action had been taken. The union leaders walked out. This Procedure was in spite of the fact that the brotherhoods were armed with ther most powerful weapon—a strike vote. The strike vote was taken on the wage cut of last July. Now they faced a more aggravated far Having decided to call a strike October 30 this is what the brother- hoods faced today: They realized, according to best In- formation, that a strike would not be popular, Farmers and business men are promised decreased freight rates when wages are trimmed. High freight rates have been blamed by¥ both, and also representative public men, as the cause of business stagna- tion. It would be possible to recruit from the legions of unemployed men to take the place of strikers. Two million men would become jobless with winter coming on. Transportation would be crippled and food supplies cut off, which would militate against sympathy from the public. If a strike were called it would be a case of bucking the government. It has been declared at the unemploy- |ment conference in Washington that \the administration believes that one of the first steps toward normalcy should be a reduction of railroad wages and freight rates. ADMINISTRATION BACKS ROADS Railroad executives who met here declared the administration was back of their move to cut wages and then |reduce freight rates. | The strike date was set for October 30, provided executives re. fused to enter into further negotia. tions in which the unions hoped to obtain pledges against additional wage cuts. |' The committee of union leaders |who conferred with the executives were to reflort back to the general chairman the unsatisfactory results of their conference at the meeting today, Following their report, the strike plans were to be submitted to the general chairman, These plans in. clude calling out the trainmen of the Southern Pacific on October 30, the first step in the strike. | and when the young man left his truck to walk to the hotel for sup per, these young women followed him, ° crying: “You scab! seab!"

Agi Quiet Conditions Reign in Issaquah ISSAQUAH, Oct, 15.—Judge Ron ald's injunction against “peaceful picketing by striking miners in Black Diamond and Neweastle, had no effect here, nor was an injune tion needed. There has been little picketing here of objectionable character for several weeks, Most of the strikers with fami lies to support have gone else where to find employment. The strikers here have co-operated with the sheriff, and have several depu-| ties of their own to help keep order, Two nights ago 25 of the new miners marched down from the mine, & mile away, to the picture show in town. A group of perhaps 100 strikers and sympathizers gath. ered outside the theatre When the show was over the men from the mine marched back to the Pacific Coast company's property between a double line of strikers, but not a word was ut tered. Food for strikers’ families is be- ing brought here and strike bene- fits are being paid, as at Black Diamond, but the situation is far from acute.

Little Chaplins, big Chaplins, fat Chaplins, skinny Chaplins—flocks of ‘em—all turned out in great style at 10 o'clock Saturday morning as entries in the Charlie Chaplin con- test, conducted by the Liberty thea- tre, where Charlie is playing in his new comedy, “The Idle Class.” With Miss Daisy Henry, of The Star, acting as judge, the Chaplins were lined up in front of the Liberty theatre, where each in turn gave an imitation of the famous comedian. It was some task selecting the win- ners, and the final selection was made by Miss Henry with the aid of the big crowd on hand to see the fun. Their applause helped decide the favorites. Milton Heiman, 1716 11th ave, little curly-headed boy of 13, won the first prize of $20. Milton not had a good Chaplin makeup, had the famous walk, woe-begone expres- sion and funny little twist of the month so characteristic of Chaplin.
