The evening edition of the Ore

The Journal has no ill-feeling
against th Evening Kite, for success
has out it in a moat cheerful frame of

The cause of The Journal's good

Longshoremen's Central Body
t Seattle Decides to Civ Ex

Some Decision.
The longshoremen whose business It
1 to handle lumber, win not strike for
at least a week. If they trlk at all.
Such 1 a decision reached yesterdsy
afternoon by the executive board of the
longshoremen's central body In Seattle.
The information wa wired to th local
delegate, J. A. Madlsen. last night, and

number of the shippers had previously
announced that they would not pay the
scale, so It looked a If there might be
a strike But th action of th cen
tral body In Seattle will delay anything
of thl character for a week, possibly
longer.
son for potpoameat.
Th reason for tha. postponement Is
that th longshoremen wish to establish
a uniform cal for lumbal' loader at
all ports on th Paclflo coast, and the
wish If possible to establish this seal
without a strike. Th Pacific Coast
Bteamahlp Owners' association meet la
San Francisco on next Thursday, and
th Seattle bofly decided to bring th
matter before that organisation before
allowing any of the affiliated unions to
make a move. The reply of the steam
ship owner will bo considered by th
Seattle body a week from today, after
which It will be known whether or not
there will be a atrik.
