The use of autom >b:le trucks

Big business in this city does
not lock tor the strike to effect
'his city as much us it will in
turii r aud middle western cities.
With tne Panama ccmal open and
t L> Diving thru the artificial wat
er way tc Puget Sound cities, the
condition will be relieved to a cer
; un degree. Jobbing interests and
commission housi a dealing wi'h
foraign countries and outlying sec
tions ct the country will be the
hardest hit. Owing to a shortage
of bottoms the ocean traffic will
be uncertain.. Movements of crops
in the middle west will be a
problem lor transportation men to
st ive, if the strike is called.
