NOW IN SKATTI.K
A letter recently received from a
Valdez parly who went to Seattle
states that conditions are had in Se
attle, and that 8,000 men are walk
ing the streets looking for any kind
of a job. It is said to be impossible
to walk down the streets without hav
ing dozens of importunities for two
hits for a meal. The shipyards are
said to have all the men they can use,
and are turning them away daily. The
writer states that Seattleites are com
plaining over the large number of
persons flocking to the city expecting
high wages, and are asking that pub
licity be given to the fact that there
are men enough for all jobs. Valdez
ans take notice.
