THICK
Unions to Consider General
Strike Sunday; Denounce
: Calling Out Troops
(Continued from Pag l
ator Robert JY Wagner of New
York a general strike would be
withheld if possible while nego
tiations progressed.
A meeting of three representa
tives of each nnion was called for
Sunday morning, bringing specu
lation whether a general strike
wonld be called for Monday.
The Hook," official I. L. A.
.bulletin, said the meeting appear
ed "similar to that convention
called in San Francisco a few days
ago when the general strike was
Toted." The publication said since
calling of troops that organized
and unorganized labor was welded
behind longshoremen.
A labor spokesman said Port
land is "going to keep In mind the
things that happened in San Fran--
clsco and profit by them berore
doing anything" "
The general strike. If called,
would be "as drastic as possible
without bein? brutal," he said.
Sub-committees reported on ex
emptions in the case of a general
iatb A m am fkdn unAVctriAH
Oil A SV C AulVUg lUUOr uuuaivuwru
listed were civil service employes,
hospitals, -charitable institutions,
garbage service, dairies, Bonne
ville dam workers and all news
paper departments.
The newspapers could be with
drawn from the list if the strat
egy ..committee decided the labor
side of developments was not giv
en as fair presentation as that of
employers.
Last night the strike strategy
committee declared if troops were
ordered to the waterfront, a gen
eral strike would follow.
Representatives of labor organ
izations had little to say today.
They had threatened, however,
that if the Oregon national guard
was sent to the waterfront, a gen
eral strike might be called. The
troops today worked busily at
Camp Withycombe, about 10 miles
from Portland. There was no need
for them on the waterfront.
The national guardsmen were
called from a number of north
western Oregon towns. Tonight
police told of rumors that forces
from a number of northwestern
towns would Teinforce pickets
here.
It was reported 50 men start
ad here from Astoria and 70
from St. Helens. Some reports
said as many as 500 or 600
misht concentrate here.
Police kept loiterers off the
river bridges today. As the San
J n 1 1 a n passed through a lift
bridge, several hundred strikers
hooted and jeered. Armed rifle
men on the decks fingered their
guns, but there was no occasion
to use them.
, Police kept spectators on the
charge of disorderly conduct
when ho refused to comply. B. A.
Green, union attorney, saw an
"ulterior motive" in the call of
the guards.
"I was greatly surprised when
I learned of Governor Meier's
order to mobilize the troops," he
declared. "I realize the conse
quences that may result from
such an order. These conseqnen
ces are what I have been labor
ing to avoid since the inception
of this controversy,' said the at
torney who has sought to curb
any radical elements Involved in
the strike.
'Also at this time the con
troversy was nearer a settlement
than at any time since the be
ginning of the strike." Green con
tinued. "Yesterday word came to
Portland requesting the number
of men In the seafaring crafts
la Portland and Seattle be sent
to San Francisco so that ballots
could bo prepared to elect repre
sentatives for the purpose of col
lective bargaining. . . .
"To me there Is an ulterior
motive and that It Is being en
gineered by the employers sole
ly to create a feeling in the
minds of the men to obstruct
clear thinking when the time
comes to take a referendum vote
on any Issues submitted which,
of course, will be in the next
several days. ...
- "This action of Governor
Ueier and the shipowners is most
regrettable."
The state board of conciliation
lead for striking maritime em
ployes to agree to arbitration so
they may resume work In an or
derly fashion.
A reminder that physical at
tempts by strikers to halt water
front work will result in blood
shed and in nowise advance the
cause of labor was contained in
the board's statement
The word Cherokee has no
meaning In the language of the
Cherokee Indians, who prefer to
call themselves Tsalagis.

pleted the rout, hurrying the
strikers along as the horses
dashed through the gas while
horsemen slashed with clubs at
the heads of strikers who showed
fight
In 15 minutes men streamed
away from the docks, weeping and
retching. Others, cramped by nau
sea gas, curled on the piers In
misery. Strikers were chased down
railroad tracks and streets in
three directions. Some Jumped into
Elliott bay to escape the gas. In
30 minutes it was over, except that
the police ambulance and field
hospital were busy.
Movement of trains from the
ships started soon after.
Mayor Smith was slightly af
fected by tear gas, and retired to
the dock offices with streaming
eyes. After the melee, he issued
a statement explaining his posi
tion. "I have no intention of seeking
to rule Seattle by force," he said,
"but shall act to prevent anyone
else from trying to, rule the city by
unlawful force. Police acted today
on behalf of 95 per cent of the
people, who are being seriously in
jured because of a controversy be
tween interests representing only
five per cent."
"I am taking no sides as be
tween the striking longshoremen
and the waterfront employers. As
acting head of the police depart
ment, I found a strong hand was
necessary to remove a large crowd
of men gathered at the docks for
the purpose of unlawfully pre
venting trains from moving, so
these men were removed."
Seamen and longshoremen, who
did not wish to be quoted, said
plans were under way for continu
ation of their operations.
A second riot on a small scale
followed opening of the docks to
ran movements late today, when
20 police gassed and clubbed 200
longshoremen and strike svmna-
thizers who blocked a freight train
on tne waterfront by placing ties
on the tracks.
The Pacific Coast Marine Fire
men, Oilers. Watertenders and
Wipers association of the seamen's
union today applied in superior
court for a show cause order de
manding that Mayor Smith and
the city of Seattle explain why
they should not carry on peaceful
picketing. One striker testified the
police gave them no warning at
pier 40, but cornered them "like
rats" and then gassed them.
STOLEX AUTO RECOVERED

SAN JOSE, Calif.. July 20.-UP)
Postmaster General James A.
Farley told the Association of
California Postmasters here to
night that for the first time in
15 years the postoffice depart
ment is not a burden on the tax
payers. "Careful administration of post
office affairs," he said, "has en
abled us to eliminate in its en
tirety the stupendous deficit" of
206 million dollars "which con
fronted us when we assumed of
fice." "As officers of the federal gov
ernment," Farley continued, "we
are part of an administration that
will long be remembered as one
which rescued the nation from
what seemed hopeless desponden
cy and business chaos.
"We are soldiers In the fight
to revitalize and build up all that
was lost through misrule and a
false philosophy of government.
A mistaken belief that the posses
sion of power and wealth in the
hands of a few, disbursed as in
their wisdom they thought best,
would bring about general happi
ness. ...
"The day will come when the
proudest thing we can do or that
our children can say Is that their
fathers and mothers followed and
supported and were a part of the
administration of the great and
good man who has become the
'pillar of a people's hope, the
center of the world's desire,"
Franklin Roosevelt, president of
the United States."
