SPOKANE BOYCOTTED BY
IDAHO, DUE TO I. W. W.
- I
SPOKANE, Aug. . 15.—Spokane |
whoesalers are to be punished for!
failure of the city to stamp out the!
activities of the Industrial Workers,
of the World.
A widespread boycott throughout
Northern Idaho is being organized
among the merchants, who are adort
ing this means of reaching, indirect
ectly, the people of what they feel is
I. W. W. headquarters for their dis
trict.
Coast cities are to profit by Spo
kane's loss, according to reports front
Wallace. Merchants of Northern Ida
ho are declared to be figuring on rail
road rates and prices with a view to
transferring their orders to those bus
iness men.
Effects of the boycott have been
felt already by some local wholesal
ers, they admit today, although they
refuse to be quoted in the matter or
give specific instances. Their travel
ing salesmen have met with a chilly
reception from Northern Idaho mer
chant, they say, and in some cases
have failed utterly to obtain orders.
