Injunction Prohibits Picketing and No Connection 'Exists With Local Situation. "LOS ANGELES, Cal., ' June 20, (Spe cial.) George Gunrey. official financial secretary, appointed by- the American Federation of Labor, to distribute funds to the striking metal trades workers, said today that with Los Angeles as the storm center of the strike, every city in this state with the exception of San Francisco promises to be affected. The $4 wage scale and eight-hour rule went Into effect In San Francieco June 1, and it is the determination of the labor leaders to make every other city in the state follow pult. , The leaders assert that not 'only in Los Angeles proper, but in the county and elsewhere the tie-up is acute. Judge Bordwell, on the application of counsel for the Baker Iron Works, granted an injunction, tonight preventing picketing, intimidation or displays of force by strikers against nonunion men. NOT TO AFFECT PORTLAND Machinists Strike In California Sep arate From Ijocai Trouble. The strike of the metal trades workers in California will not seriously affect the machinists' strike in Portland, it is be lieved. Portland shopowners are im porting all the men they can secure, but it is proving a difficult matter to replace the striking machinists . and the local employers freely admit they are com pelled to pass up thousands of dollars' worth of work because of a scarcity of skilled labor. The machinists, on the other hand, take a hopeful view, and say that they have the strike already won. They are pre pared to prolong the strike Indefinitely unless their demands are granted. "The strike of the machinists is par ticularly unfortunate at this time," said W. H. Corbett, president of the Willam ette Iron & Steel Works, "as we have thousands of dollars of work that should be turned out. From appearances, the financial market is tightening and it looks as though a period of depression is about to strike the country. If this should oc cur, the work we have on hand will be called off, throwing hundreds of men out of employment as well as causing the shop owners to lose a large amount of money."

The dispatch boat Dolphin, on which Mr. Roosevelt left Oyster Bay late last night, with Sec retary Meyer as his host, brought him into New Tork early this morning. He went direct to his office and im mediately plunged into the mountain of correspondence accumulated. Two hours later he appeared on the street and was Immediately recognized by the crowds. Before he had walked half a block westward, toward Fifth avenue, he was followed by a throng that blocked the sidewalk. Colonel Seeks Hatter. The sun was beating down with an intensity that made a top hat unen durable. The Colonel plunged for a hatter's at a speed that made the crowd behlrfd him run to keep up. As he passed the offices of the pub lishing house that will bring out his forthcoming book on his hunting trip he spied a tall portrait of himself, framed in red, white and blue. "That's dandy. Isn't it?" was his comment. A hatter was close by. It took the Colonel just two minutes to buy a wide brimmed straw hat with a black band. Then he footed it at the same amazing speed to his office again. Editor Has Suite.

Not all the people of Seattle are clamoring for the transfer of the colored troops of the 25th infantry from Fort Lawton, because of the recent outrage com mitted by a member of that regiment. Senator Jones recently"-received the following letter from a prominent cit izen, whose name he withholds: Dear lr: I hereby confirm my telegram sent to you on the 7th Inst., regarding the situation at Port Lawton. I beg to say that there Is no reason what ever. In my Judgment, for the removal of the Twenty-fifth Infantry from their post on account of any act of that regiment. The perpetrator of the crime has been ar retted and has confessed his crime, and It Is simply a. matter of meting out Justice to this one lnd4vldual. You can imagine that a crime of that kind la one which creates .excitement and people are apt to act wlthou Judgment and are entirely too hasty. There Is absolute quiet here and our citi zens one and all were pleased 'at the splen did showing which thesa colored men made here on our streets Memorial day. A pa rade, which none but the best-drilled ana perfectly-disciplined troops could have done, and such this regiment of Infantry is. I have talked with several of the negro troop regarding the affair, and they deprecate the matter, as sensible men should, and their officers tell me that to a man they are cast down by the reflections which the pa pers have unnecessarily cast upon them. I have lived In Seattle 25 years: I served four yearn In the Army: five years as County Treasurer and two years as Mayor. I have Had. in my time, quite a little to do with excited conditions and know Mow easy It Is to do wrong under excitement.
