SEATILE SHIPYARD STRIKE. MAY
BE STUBBORNLY PROLONGED
Seattle,, Jan. 22.—From all ap
parent indications the stride of the
steel and wooden shipyards workers
will be stubbornly prolonged.
There is little if any work being
dore today ,and several of the
machine shops have joined with
the shlD workers and walked) out.
Union labor leaders are agitating
the question of a tieup of the en*
tire water-front industries, and a re
lief to the situation may come thru
a referendum, vote which has been
called for this j)uryose, and it is
thought that it will not carry, as
many of the waterfront workers are
quite satisfied with the situation as !
!♦ now stands, and may aot vote
to go out, in whicii case it is be
lieved that the shipyard workers
will return to their work.

was undoubtedly robery and the
murderer escaped. Thig makes
the third jitney driver slain in
cold blood during the past four
months and each time the murderer
was dressed ag a soldier. It is
not sure that tliese miscreants are
soldiers or men who have secured
soldier's uniforms for the purpose of
escaping identification

preservers begin to get waterlogged
and sinking bodies be carried out
of the doors and windows away from

The forward part of the vessel was
resting near the reef where she
struck. He reported the after por

of the Sohia could be distinguished
from the deck of the Cleopeck, J
which boat' was anchored directly
ovei; the wreck. He says there is
no question but the Sophia is in
tact and can be raised.
