call attention to his claim that
the present situation in Seattle
is an attempted revolution
rather than a strike Mayor
Ole Hanson in a statement to-
night quoted an editorial pub-
lished in the labor union's
I daily newspaper here Feb. 4.
'.Ihe editorial referring to the
strike said:
"We are undertaking the most
tremendous move ever made by
labor in this country a move
which will lead no one knows
where.
Labor will not
only shut down the industries
but labor will re-open thetn
under the management of the
appropriate trades. If the
strike continues labor may feel
led to avoid public suffering by
re-opening more and more ac-
tivities under i: own manage-
ment and that is why we say
we are starting; on a road that
leads no one knows where."
Commenting upon thi- edi-
torial Maor Ilaitsnii said:
"We will not

lutionists. Wo demand un-
conditional -11 rrender."

by Mayor Ole Hanson's ultima-
tum thai troops would be usedy
necessary to restore Seattle's hi
ness operations to normal chan-
nels the sympathetic strike affect-
ing approximated MI.H'KI workers
seemed near it- end tonight.
The general conference commit-
tee continued in session tndav dis-VFsenssing-
whether to call off the
y iiipathetie strike. In the meau-
'tinie inisiness ucgan ;hum-
;ug usual phases. Municipal street
cars had been operating all day.
I. ate in the day the Puget Sound
Traction Light and Power Com-
pany sent out the first of the com-
pany's cars with a soldier and spe-
cial police oircer on the rear plat-
form. All papers except the Times (af-
ternoon) and Post-1 ntelligeucer
i morning i appeared during the
day. Tonight these two news-
papers announced they would pub-
lish regular editions a- usual re-
gardless oi the strike situation.
It was believed by city officials
that ail workers except possibly
the 25.1 Ml metal trades men of the
shipyards would be back at work
by Slonday. These men went out
Jan. 21 asking for increased wages.
'The sympathetic strike was call-
ed lasi Thursday morning. The
general strike resulting termed by
Mayor Hanson and a business
men's committee as a "rebellion
against the government" is said
to he the first of its size in the
L'niled States. It was followed by
tin unsuccessful attempt to call a
general strike in Tacoma.
Maj.-iicti. John V. Morrison
commanding the western depart-
ment of the army is expected to
arrive in Seattle tonight to take
ch.trgc of the army's activities. Xo
disturbances of moment have been
rrportcd since the general strike

The Kcv. W. A. Matthews a lo-
cal pastor and J. W. Spangler a
banker who met with Mayor Han-
son and the strikers' committee
yesterday announced today that
the meeting was due to the strik-
ers' efforts to have Mayor Hanson
rescind his ultimatum.
The statemen said tha the Rev.
Mr. Matthews and Mr. Spangler
late vesterday consulted the citi-
zens' committee and were instruct-
ed to meet the strikers and "state
positively that the business inter-
ests and general community looked
upon the so-called 'general strike'
as a rebellion against the govern-
ment." Union bankers worked today
(irocery stores attempted regular
deliveries. One union barber shop
re-opened.
Shin-caulkers at the Gray's Har-
bor shipyards voted to return to
to work. At Vancouver H. C the
longshoremen have voted not to
handle any freight diverted to Van-
couver from Seattle on account of
the strike.
O. S. Larson representing the
war labor board at Tacoiua. after
