Fair east portion; rain west portion; colder tonight in the eastern section; moderate ;f southeasterly winds. 4 FOKKIUX LEADERSHIP Seattle is today the cynosure of all eyes; not only of the people In the Northwest, but or all the United States. That city received this dis tinction yesterday when 65,000 un ion laborers walked out on strike In aytupathji.wlth shipyard workers who demanded $S a day tar skilled work men and $6 a day tor unskilled labor ers. Of the latter class, the major ity of them could not erect an ordi nary barn nor construct a common two-oared boat In the face of this demand, the mine owners at Butte, Mont., today lowered the wages of employes one dollar a day. Many of those on strike at Seattle are much, less than a week from dead broke financially, ' but they seem tull of hope and open ly voice their opinio that they will win out. The general public does not think so, especially as soldiers have been rushed to Seattle from Camp . Lewis to .preserv e order. Union labor is all right and a fine thing, until the rabid element takes the bit and runs rampant, carrying their demands beyond all reason. That Is what has happened at Seat tle and that vicious weapon, "sym pathetic strike," has again been used to the detriment of organized labor. By employing it, the strikers lost all sympathy of the public The design of the strikers is to utterly paralyze all business and bring the country to its knees at the feet of labor. Senator Thomas has iiiamncrnea me preseut strike ss a test of Bolshevism in America. If It wins, the country Is In danger of being enthralled in a bitter snd end less wage dispute. But by Immedi ately sending troops to the scene it Is plain that the government intends to deal firmly with the situation In its tnclplency. The strikers may return after a demonstration of 21 to 4 5 hours duration, as has been intimat ed, but If not, Seattle will no doubt go through an experience that her citizens shall never forpet. A notlceaMe feature of most or these strikes where arbitration Is re fused by the workmen is the fact that the vast majority of their lead ers bear foreign names. Only a short time ago one of these "leaders" J said to the Courier editor: j "The trouble with the American laboring man Is the fact that lie hasn't got the backbone to stand up and fight for his rights. But thank Qod there are now enough of us fel lows from the old country to show them how the trick Is turned and get what we ask for. Capital is our na tural enemy and If we don't tight for our rights we'll all be slaves." So here is the real factor to be reckoned with. American workmen led by foreign agitator. This man was a foreigner Swede, He had left his fatherland to make his for tune, as well aa home tor his chil dren, In "tree America." He was j . formerly a newspaper man, was of Fancy Norway In Tomato KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QUALITY studious nature and had . fair edu cation. When the war broka out he bought liberty bond, tor appear ance sake, but up to the day Ameri ca entered the war had openly de clared himself In favor of Germany; he hoped Germany would win be cause her cause waa Just. This is one Instance, but a glance at the names of the strike leaders who refuse to arbitrate will bear out the assertion that the majority 'of them are of foreign birth men who have come' to show the American the way to liberty and Independence. Knowing these facts, is what led Senator Sherman to state that tho, Seattle affair was more of a demon stration of Bolshevism than a mere demand of laborers to receive what Is considered In the business world a fair and equitable wage.

Solve Mystery of Aged Person's Disappearance. The mysterious disappearance of Smith Flohr, on eighty-year-old moun taineer of Mountalndale, Pennsylvania, missing since August 20, and for whom a search covering the Blue Ridge mountains for miles n round has been going on since, was solved when two lumbermen, John Brown nnd Solo mon Monn, while passing through n densely wooded section of the moun tains near Old Fore, stumbled across the skeleton of a num. Near by hat nnd coat enabled the dlsoov erers of the body to Ideutify-lt us that of Flohr, On the day of the old mountaineer's disappearance he hud been visiting a son, Irvln S. Flohr, at Motintalnilnle, and decided toward evening to tnuke his way across to Blue Ridge Summit, where another son. I. 8. Flohr, lived. Intending to scnd the night there. Despite efforts to dissuade him, Flohr started out across the mountains. From that moment until his skeleton was discovered about a mile from the main mountain road, his whereabouts puzzled the countryside. It is now as sumed that he became confused, wan dered Into the thicket and after becom ing exhausted, collapsed, and later died of starvation.
