SEATTLE CAR STRIKE
COST COMPANY $144,000
SEATTLE, Aug. 16.—Two hun
dred thousand eight hundred dollars
is an estimate placed upon the loss
in fares and wages during Seattle's
car strike. ,
The fare receipts of the Puget
Sound, Traction, Light & power com
pany are aprpoximately $9000 daily.
During the sixteen days of the strike
the company, therefore, lost $144,000
in fares.
The average pay of the men is
placed at $90 a month, and it is esti
mated that 1,600 men were on strike.
This places the loss in wages at $76,
800.
However, if the company couldn't
operate cars it did not pay any wages
to trainmen, hence its loss in fares is
reduced to $67,000, or the sum ob
tained by subtracting the men’s
wages from the fare receipts, for the
effected period.

show our gratitude by tireless toil.
We must still continue to fight and
to furnish arms for it. But our peo
