W. P. Armour, manager of the Armour Salvage Co., returned to the city on the Catala last night from a two weeks' business trip which took him as far south as San Francisco, At 'Frisco he had the opportunity of spending Thanksgiving Day In reunion with his brother and sister, it being the first occasion in many years that the three children of the family had had the opportunity of being together. Capt. Armour made the trip both going to San Francisco and returning to Vancouver by airplane, the time required being only seven and a half hours. On the way back, however, the plane was delayed by fog so bus was taken from Portland to Vancouver. The shipping tie-up as a result of the maritime workers' strike Is having a devastating and widespread the effect upon business and Industry of the United States' Pacific Coast, Capt. Armour reports. Lumber mills are closing down one by one and farmers are unable tc get rid of their produce. Genera! buMnsss of the stores In the large cities of the coast does not appear to have suffered to any great extent as yet but, undoubtedly, thr full effect of the strike has not yet been tilt. The Seattle waterfront Is practically deserted of any sizeable ships, the tied up vessels, apparently, having been moved out ofj sight Portland Is filled with Idle ships, all cold with steam down. Itlght In Seattle streets picket boxes have been built. There seemed to be more hopeful signs of a settlement when Capt. Armour passed through at the week-end on his way home. It was the first time Capt. Ar mour had been In San Francisco :.ince two months after the great earthquake disaster of 1906. Of course, It is a new city since those days. He was greatly Impressed by the magnitude of the Oakland and Golden Oate bridges. The former has just been opened but It will be a year before the latter Is com pleted. Capt. Armour was also In ulgued by a big salvage Job on a steamer which was ashore at the Golden Gate. Thick fog conditions which had prevailed in Vancouver for eight days continuously are almost be vond description, Capt. Armour says. Except for street cars, traffic has been almost at a complete standstill. The only motorvehlcles that are moving are the busses and about the only- way they can get about Is by following the street car '-racks. It has been impossible to see from the middle of the street to the curb and, as for seeing across the street, It simply cannot of done.
