SHINGLE WAR PENDING.
Likely to Effect All Northwest Plants
and People.
A fight with shingle mill employes
that will eventually spread throughout
the state Is expected by shingle man
ufacturers. The trouble at1 Bal
lard has been followed Ivy smoJl strikes
in a dozen shingle mill centers, and
eventually the effort of the American
Federation of Labor to control the
shingle situation is expected to affect
nil the manufacturers.
Ballard, the largest shingle manufac
turing town in the state, is bearing
the. brunt of the figllt first.. Shingle
.manufacturers had anticipated that
some of the smaller towns, farther re
moved from the labor market would
bo attacked first. But if the struggle
at Bullard is won, it will strengthen
the mill employes' materially.

that are now pending. Few of the
mill in this state are employing for
eign labor now, but mill men under
stand that there will lie an influx of
Japanese labor for new railroad work.
From two to five yearj later these
men will have completed their Work,
and it is argued, the American Federa
tion is preparing to resist nn attempt
to keep the Asiatic labor in this
country.
One of the striker of mill men was
caused by the employment of Asiatic
labor, Tho Atlas Lniber Company
was employing Japanese in its yards
at McMurry. The white laborers
struck, but their places have been fil
led. At Stan wood the shingle employ
es struck for more wages. Two strikes
have oeeured in Bellingbam mills.
The Aberdeen Lumlier & Shingle Co.
has two mills effected by strikes grow-,
ing out of n increase in wages given
packers. At Elma there is a minor
strike and trouble is treported at var
ious points.
Crowing out of the Ballard strike,
is expected to be an advance in prices
for stars. The Ballard output is about
IS per cent of the states total. Wil

. FACES DEATH CALMLY.
SACRAMENTO, April 13No vis
ible sign of fear, W. M. Gray, the negro
who murdeded a Chinese in this city
in November 1904 ascended the gallows
at Folsom prison this morning and was
swung oflf into eternity.
Gray passed the night quietly, sleep
ing soundly at times, and this morning
ate a hearty breakfast. He walked from
his sell to the gallows without assis-l
tance, and his execution passed with
out incident, life being pronounced ex
tinct eleven minutes after the the drop
of the trap.
The crime for which Gray forfeited his
life was the killing of a Chinese mimed
Wong Fung, whose dead body was found
at an early hour one morning in an
alley in Chinatown, his skull having been
crushed with an iron bar. The mur
der was done for the purpose of robbery
as evidenced by the faet that the dead
man's clothing had been searched and
his pockets turned inside out.'1 Therv
were no eye witnesses to the affair, and
the evidence that convicted Gray was
puiiy circumstantial. Yesterday a col
ored divine of this city named MePher
son filed a petition with the Governor
asking clemency for Gray, but it was
filed at such a iate hour that no action
was taken.
