SAX l-‘itANClSCO, June 1.~—A
strike of 9,000 longslloremen em}
ployed at Pacific coast ports went
into effect automatically at 0 a. at.
today. At Seattle. where strike
breakers-have been hired. trouble is
expected. Tu‘o thousand men are
out there. ,Elsewhere apparently the
employers have made no prepa’r'ations
for active resistance. For several
days, at least, it is predicted that
most of the deep sea and coastwise
shipping affected will be tied up.
Own-rs of several fast coast passen-
ger steamers have announced, how-
ever, that these vessels will be con»
tinued in open, giving up. if neces~
sary. all freight traffic.
The Water Front Employers' Un-
ions of Seattle, San Francisco, Ta-
coma. Portland and San Diego an-
nounced that they would not accede
to the demands of the longshoremeu
and local lodges of the men at the
ports named also stated with equal
vigor they would hold out. At a
mass meeting here last night, a conr’l
mittee from the Waterfront Workers‘
Federation notified the longshors-
men (that t e Federation. which [is
composed o virtually every union
engaged in water front work. would
support them in their light.
The strikers demand a flat rate of
65 cents an hour, the present rate
being 50 cents and overtime of one
dollar an hour.
Vessels fs'tevedored by deckhands,
such _as coasting lumber schooners
will not be affected by the strike.
In San Francisco four thousand
gtenare concerned in the strike or-

The price of meat in Norwalk. ac-
cording to the opinion of one down- .
.town markstman has reached the
highest mark ever attained in this
city. An increase from 2 to 21,5 cents
on all kinds of meats has gone into
effect here within the past two
weeks. The general reasons given by
some butchers for the unprecedented
rise in the meatprices is the scarcity
and the congemon in transportation
conditions which seem to be prevalent
all over the country.

term of the superior criminal court
will be opened on Tuesday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, with Judge llovsnrd J.j
Curtis, presiding. There are more
than seventy cases on the docket, but
many more will be added before the
term of the court is formally opened.
The case of greatest moment is that
against Mrs. Amy E. Archer Gilligan
of Windsor, who is a prisoner at the
jail arm who is charged with murder
in the alleged killing of l‘nanklin
1L Andrews. who was a boarder at
the place In Windsor kept by Mrs.
Archer for aged people, which was
known as the Archer Home.
As has been before indicated. Mrs.
Archer. In the event. of indictment.
will not be put to trial until the
'September term of the court. She,
will be arraigned before ll grand
jury in the June term and the grand
jury will be asked to find an indict-
ment against her. and. if she is in
dicted. the case will go met to the
September tern!’ of the court when
13m- will be put to trial under the
charge of murdering Andrews, who
was an inmate of the home. The
crime of murder with which Mrs.
Gilligan is charged does not permit
of ball. Consequently it will be
necessary for the woman to stay in
jail during the summer. State's At-
torjcy Hugh M. .Alcorn yesterday
made the positive statement that
Mrs. Gilligan would not be brought
to court at the session of the June
term.

gates and clubwomen will be taken on

hundred of them will be the guests of
the‘Chamber of Commerce on a and
