Hoqulam, April 13. A petition for
the recall of Mayor Ferguson was put
In circulation today. Ferguson- is a
sympathizer of the striking mlllmen.
A, couple with the petition went a
through the offices of the city' hall,
ahd'gathored many signatures. Tha
mayor has been opposed throughout
the: strike by practically all the offi
cial family, and the opportunity to
bring the recall to a focus was quick
ly Bel.ed.by the employes and other
city officials. The strike of millmeu
and the I. W. W. inroads on Hoquiain
has torn the town asunder and the
latest attack has met with popular
favor. It is generally thought that
the recall petition , will be quickly
signed as tho mayor .has been amoR
alone in his stand in favor of tho
strikers. .
