DEMOCRA TS WARNED BY JAMES HAMIL TON LEWIS
RAILWAY WORKERS RESENT DELAY OF SETTLEMENT
t
PHILADELPHIA, Jane 22.—Fh'e
thousand railroad workers went out
on strike yesterday because of the
delay of the railroad labor board in
reaching a decision on the wage de- ■
mands submitted several months ago ;
The strike has tied up the movement j
of freight and prices are soaring j
here in consequence of the inabili- j
ty of the railroads to make deliv
eries of shipments. Local newspa-;
pers have been compelled to cur-j
tail editions because of an acute j
shortage of newsprint.
Leaders of the strike movement!
^ have explained that the action of J
the men is not directed against the j
roads affected, but is in the nature ?
of a protest against the labor board. !
There were no additions to the ,
ranks of the strikers today, the;
movement apparently having been;
checked here, but it is claimed by;
the leaders that there will be a bigj
walkout on Friday if the wage board
has not acted by that t:me.
Governor Sproul contemplates re
questing the board to make an im
mediate decision on the demand for
increased wages.
R. C. Wood, who left Fairbanks
yesterday afternoon for the States,
accompanied by Mrs. Wood, is en
route to San Francisco on appellate
♦ court business which is set for July
16. He plans to return in Septem
ber.
Mrs. Lowella Rosburg returned to
town on Saturday from a several
day visit out the line. She was a
guest at the Canyon roadhouse for
several days, and made a trip out
as far as Riley creek.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CITIES
ROCKED BY SERIES OF QUAKES
LOS ANGELES, June 22.—Earth
quake shocks, which began at 6:47
ast night and continued until five
:his morning, caused damage in this
:ity estimated at $20,000. most of
it resulting from falling chimneys
and the breakage of crockery and
rlassware in downtown stores.
The disturbances were much more
violent at Inglewood, tea nwles
southwest of this city. Twenty-one

Three slight shocks were felt at

damage there is nominal.
The greatest excitement prevailed
here whin the first severe shocks
occurred. Patrons of cafeterias
dropped trays and dashed for the
doors, closely followed by angry
proprietors demanding pay for brok
en dishes. Practically all the movie
shows in the city were interrupted
in the middle of performances and
considerable trouble resulted from
frequent demand for a refund of
admission money. There were no
panics, but most of the city’s popu
lation spent the night out of doors,
and scores of them received minor
bruises from falling: bricks and other
debris.
1 A slight quake was felt here on
Friday night, but no damage result
led on that occasion.

CAUSING ALARM
ON NORTH COAST
SEATTLE, June 22.—Bolshevism
threatens to cause considerable an
noyance to traders along the Si
berian coast this summer, according
to advices which have reached this
city from Nome during the past
several days. A Russian named
Mikoff is reported to have staged
a Bolsheviki uprising at Anadir re
cently, and it is feared here that
the rights of foreigners are not be
ing respected. In fact, the Hibbard
Swenson company has been advised
by its representatives at Nome that
the posts of the company on the
Siberian coast probably have been
seized by the Russians, although it
is impossible to ascertain exactly
what has taken place.
Mikoff lived in Seattle for two
years and went to Nome last June,
from which port he shipped to Ana
dir on the schooner Polar Bear.
