MORE STICKERS
OF I. W. W. ABOUT
Workers Sent to Seattle by Barge—
Captain Took Revenge by
Spoiling Komi
More I. W. W. stickers have made
their appearance in Seward, but the
purveyor has not been located, or made
himself conspicuous.
The source of the first batch is now
believd to lie with six members of the
crew of the barge Barracouta, which
has been here discharging for two
weeks. These six men were I. W. W.
and caused so much trouble aboard the
barge that the captain shipped them
back to Seattle on the first south
bound boat. Before leaving the barge
the six resorted to “sabotage” and
ruinned all the supplies in the pantry,
putting saleratus-in the flour and cay
enne pepper in the coffee. They tried
to break into the storeroom but failed.
• The first stickers posted about town
were round and the new batch are
square.
SEWARD SNAPSHOTS
Axel Hanson, who has been here
over a year, will sail for the south
