3ea»tle, Sunday.—The local Un
ions committee this morning voted
to continue the general strike,
whereupou the street car men's un
lor withdrew from ajij further par*
tlcipation in the sympathetic strike
and upon holding a meeting, voted
to resume work, and at seven o'
clock all Seattle Traction company'
lines were running on schedule.
Many other unions withdrew from
| the general strike,, and It Is believ
ed that by; this action the backbone
[of he Seattle General strike has
| boeu Broken,
Notwithstanding th<j action tak
en oy the Street Car Men's union
and tne several other union or
ganizations in withdrawing from
the strike, and voting to resume
work, the decision of the radical
leaders of several of {he unions urg
ing tneir members to continue the
strike resulted in that action being
taken.
Seattle, Monday, 9:15 a. m.—It is
' now a.certainty that the attempted
JBolsheviki revolution which waa
tnreatened in this city has oeen
crushed and while the general strike
has not been officially declared off,
the danger of any serious disorder
is Delieve<} to have passed.
A. citizen's committee represent
ing 37 civic business and patriotic
organizations issued a statement
characterizing the Seatt'e genera)
striKe affair as an attempted revolu
tion, and that this had been put
dowr by the patriotic societies of
Seattle, the city'p authorities, and
tbe citizens of Seattle and- the mili
tary cf the country.
j The general strike at Tacoma
j which wag called las' week ae de
I dared off Sunday afternoon. The
' strike in Tacoma never assumed
(serious proportions and at no time
| became seriously affective.
Seatle, Monday, 10:55 a. m. —
I Members belonging to the Team
sters', Milk Drivers', iJtneys', Truck
and Auto Drivers' unions an return
ed to their work this moning, as
did also the members of the Bar
bers' union.
The Cooks and Waiters and Ship
yards unions and Longshoremen
j are still out.
Cnicago, Monday. — Two heavily I
guarded carl«oads of foreigners, most
| of whom were implicated in the Se
attle revolution, arrived in the Un
ion dej>ot this morning on the Mil
waukee road an£< will leave in a
short time for New York from wfcer#
j thev will be deported to their re
spective countries in Europe.
Seattle, Monday, 1:40 p. m.—At
I one-fif'een o'clock this afternoon,
the general strike of the Ualon Fed
eration of Labor which hag been in
force in this city since ten o'clock
Thursday morning, was declared off,
to become effective at noon to"
morrow. * ' \
Daring the time between 1:15 o'
clock today and noon tomorrow ef
fort will be made by the Labor
leaders to get many of the unions
which have returned to work to
walk out again and remain
until the time ordered by the Cen
tral Council to again resume work.
With the exoeption of only th^ee
pr four cases, all Unions returned
to work early this morning and the
business life of this city had again
t>ecome normal by nine o'clock.
W&gn the various unions learned
tha» the general sympathetic strike
had' been engineered by men wtao
were 6eeking to overthrow the gov
ernment and substitute Russian Bol
shevism instead, the union men, loy
al to the United States and the
country's principles, saw that there
was nothing for them to do but to
return to their respective places of
occupation.
As a result of tha collapse of
the undertaking nothing has oeen
accomplished for the locai unions
sav> * split in the organizations.
While it is agreed that thg ship
yar. workers had a grievance, it is
fully understood that this will be a
matter for the men employed in the
shipyards to settle with the DUild
ers ar.d the government.
The shipyard* workers are still
out. and their strike will be settled,
undouotedly by arbitration within
tlie next twenty-four hours.
The several Unions were request
ed to attend meetings at which they,
were addressed by prominent busi
ness men and' patriotic citizens,
and in almost every case where mem*
berg of a Union were thus addressed,
►.hey immediately voted to desert the
Central Labor Council, and as pa
triotic citizens return to their work.
It wag clearly pointed* out to
them that while the general strike
was obstensibly called a sympathetic
B'rike by the radical leaders who
wer« almost all shown up to be for
eigners, and that the motives o£
such strike wag unpatriotic, the
men lost no time in notifying their
employers th»t they were readj
to return to their work.
By the voluntary action of the
men in returning to work, well in
formed men claim that it was one of
•h« greatest patriotic demonstrations
that labor could make to their gov
ernment, and at the sanje time d-eal
the revolutionary leaders the hard
est blow at their efforts to over
throw the government.
While there have been several
minor disorderly sienes, on the
whole the entire affair has been con
ducted in a determined effort and
order was at all times advocated by
the more conservative men. It
was only the radical foreign lead«ers
who advocated drastic or revolu
tlonary measures should be resort
ed to in order to bring about vic
tory for the Unions.
It is believed' that the labor un
ions have dealt themselves a hard
blow from which it will take a long
tita for them to recover.
