WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20. The

the Inside about tha strike situation.
What has hap
pened In Toledo,
Minneapolis, New

STRIKE IS JUST
GETM START
Offer of Employers for Bar
gaining Through Com
mittees and Formulation
of Rules Is Rejected
PORTLAND. Ore., May 39. (AP)
The most critical labor controversy
Portland has experienced In a gener
ation reached a crisis today.
Whether a longshoremen's strike,
which has bottled up commerce here
for 31 days, will be ended on terms
agreed upon at conferences of nego
tiators at San Francisco last night,
will be determined by ballots cast by
the International Longshoremens' as.
soclatlon here.
Ben T. Osborne, secretary of the
Oregon Stata Federation of Labor, to.
day urged the strikers not to accept
the terms.
Should the proposal be rejected by
the striking longshoremen, the out'
come of the controversy Is unpre
dictable, observers say.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 29. (AP)
The atrlkers' committee hera today
llatly rejected a compromise proposal
of tha shipowners and In a statement
declared "the strike of longshoremen
has Just started."
Tha statement waa issued alter a
hurried meeting of the International
Longshoremen's executive committee
which followed a riot yesterday on
the waterfront here In which seven
men were Injured.
Waterfront employers had offered
a proposal whereby committees of
employers and the I. L. A. would
bargain and formulate rules and reg
ulations for the operation of the dis
puted hiring halls.
Regarding the proposal ot tne
steamship owners, which waa read to
the strike committee last night," said
the strikers' statement, Issued by
Ralph Mallen, chairman of the I. L.
A. publicity committee, "the com
mute discussed the proposal thor
oughly and came to the conclusion
that It was futile even to discuss it.
First, It means that longshoremen
would return to work under worse
conditions than ever before. Second,
strikebreakers now working would be
retained by the employers or they
could discharge them one day and
rehire them the next.
"Reports that tha strike Is settled
are absolutely untrue. Tha strike
has Just started and will probably
Involve other unions which have no
connection with the marine Indus
try. Tha possibility of a general strixe
on the Pacific coast Is almost a cer
tainty. Even If the employera" pro
posal were acceptable, the. longshore
men will not return to work until
the other marine unions on strike
also get a satisfactory settlement."

miles an hour, that's tho big
gest news we have had in trans
portation in years. If railroads
had woke up before they
wouldn't be so far behind to
Jay. Faster time than this was
made 30 years ago by a train,
but nothing was ever done
about it. They havo dono noth
ing since then but sell stock in
stead of speed.
