EXPRESS COMPANIES SEND
THOUSANDS TO BEAT UNION
.___
SEATTLE, Dec. 2 7.—With the
Seattle agencies of the AmeVcian,
Wells-Fargo, Northern and Great
Northern Express Companies still
bound by the country-wide policy
of their respective corporations,
persistent in their refusal to recog
nize the organization of their driv
ers, the men who came out on
rtrike several months ago, affirming
their right to organize and bargian
collectively to better their woefully
unbearable conditions, are still
locked out by the companies, while
gunmen and thugs, hired by the
company and billeted by the city
authorities as “special police,’’ are
riding the wagons through tlie
streets. The thug drivers tor the
express companies are paid $6 a
day, according to reliable informa
tion, wh.le the special gunmen who
“guard” each wagon receive even
more. The drivers who went on
strike were asking that their wages
of $2.33 lor a day of from 12 to
14 hours be raised to an average
minimum of $3.25 a day and re
cognition of their right to join a
union.
The Standard and Shell Oil Com
panies are two other foreign cor
porations doing business ,in Seattle
who refuse to Seattle citizens work
ing for them the right to organize.
The two companies are unfair to
organized labor, and union men
who are purchasers of gasoline,
either for themselves and thir own
own autos or for trucks or autos
thy are employed to drive, should
see to it that none of the gasoline
from either of these two concerns
geis into a union driven car.
At their meeting last Tuesday
night Teamster’s Local N'o. 174 ini
tiated 33 new members. The union
now has a membership approximat
ing 3.000.
At the last meeting- of the North
west District Council of Teamsters’
Uniors the new Bremerton local
union affiliated with the council
and announced a 100 per cent or
ganization of teamsters in ihe Navy
Yard City.
