' . (Journal Special Servlc.) Seattle, Bept. I. After a nsloa that began at midnight and laated until jo'clock this piornlngr. the streetcar men . of this city, decided that to declare a general strike at this time would "be In advisable. The decision Is looked upon as a vlotory for the methods of the 8e attle Electric Company, which means a death-blow to unionism so far as street car men are concerned. The meeting which was held last night and this eaorn ing was for the purpose of deciding whether or not to call a strike because the company had grossly violated the findings of the arbitration committee to which was referred the differences be tween the company and employes at the time, of the strike a few months ago, H,.waa attended by an accredited dele ' gnte from -each of the trgaplaed labor ' unions In the city.' These delegates re ' fused to ,pledge the support of their ' unions, because-it was found that the . streetcar mn wefe not Unit in wish In a- to call a strike. . ) Tint stand of Corporation, t This lack of harmony was due to the fine hand of the corporation's managers, , who a f e"w days ago aided and abetted the organization of a rival union among its ' employes, the members of which were pledged to oppose'' all' strike measures. It was members from this new union that opposed the calling of a strike at the meetlnp, and thereby caused the rep- resentattvea of other labor unions to withhold their' support. There Is much disagreeable talk being Indulged in by all men today as to the manner In which the Seattle Electric C6mpany brought about this break in the ranks off the union, and the use of considerable sums of tnoney Is freely charged. It now appears that the big corporation will make good its threat to throttle the union and dismiss from Its service all union men. . ' ' "Teamsters' Bad of It , (Journal Special Service.)
