MUST HANG Them
BY WHOLESALE
Richardson Causes Sensation In Attacking A.
legged Plot to Quiet Union Labor Agitation.

dard bomb, Richardson called at
tention to the fact that nails in it
were bright as the day the box was
constructed, and a screw-eye which
was said to have been in the gate
8 months was not corroded nor
rusted.
This, he argued, proved the story
false, and he intimated that Buckley
Wells planted the box himself and
later dug 1t up.
Richardson created something OF
a sensation by declaring:
1.-THE general argument here
seems to be, as the federation has
stirred up things, the best way to
secure quiet is to hang the lead
ers. If anyone wants this, there
will have to be wholesale hang
ings.
Leaders of all factions, political,
religious and labor, must all be put
out of the way before quiet can be
secured. And the law prohibits
this"
Richardson denounced Sherman
Bell as the veriest braggart the
world ever knew, and declared he,
more than any other man in the
history of this country, deserved
the contempt of every labOring
man,

MAKES HIS TWENTY-SEVENTH
RESCUE FROM THE RIVER
THIS MORNING WHEN HE
SPOILED INGALLS, TRIP
OVER The FALLS.

"Windy Bill" Sawyer should
have a medal for bravery and life
saving. He saved his twenty
seventh life at 1880 o'clock this
morning when he pulled George
Mccall out of the river near the
Washington st. bridge. Sawyer has
a houseboat moored above the
bridge. 1t is floated upon whiskey
barrels and has the distinction of
being the only houseboat of the
kind in the world. Bill was just
finishing breakfast this morning
when, on taking his usual survey
of the river, he saw Mccall walk
deliberately out into the water and
then disappear. Sawyer didn't
wait for his dory but leaped from
the breakfast table into the river
and swan for the struggling man.
He reached the spot in time to save
him. The man fought In despera-
ton, but saving drowning people
has become a science with Sawyer
and he didn't have the customary
trouble in keeping out of the man S
fierce grasp.
Sawyer tugged his man to shore
and notified the police. When Nc
Call had been thoroughly pumped
and was so he could speak, It was
found he was a little off in the
head. He told rambling story
about cold in his head, borrow
ing money and paying doctor to
cure the cold. He finally said that
he thought he would walk into the
river and drown himself. just to
see how 1t felt, He was taken to
the police station. stripped of his
wet clothes, and locked up.

Apparently the local laundry
trust has succeeded in absorbing
the Eastern laundry, the only union
institution of that kind in the city.
Taylor and Clason, who recently
purchased the plant from H. A.
Yerkes, have served notice on their
employees that an open shop would
be maintained after Saturday, and
the matter was formally brought
before the Central Labor union
last night.
A committee was appointed to
take the matter up and II the latest
proprietors of the Eastern laundry
maintain their open shop PROPOSE
ton it Is considered certain that
the various union will start q rival
laundry to the trust that cannot be
bought out
A number of delegates last night
offered to subscribe $50 apiece for
stock in such project. It's installa-
ton will mean that the trust will
lose all the union labor work it is
doing now.
Mr.. Taylor, who with George
Clason recently bought the Eastern
laundry, refused to discuss any
phase of the question today. He
would not deny or affirm the report
that the real purchaser was the
laundry association. Clason was
formerly employed at the Great
American laundry, of the trust
concerns.
Yerkes, who started the Eastern
laundry with the backing of labor
union generally because he signed
the scale of the recently organized
Laundry Workers union, was on
the trust blacklist AS soon as his
place was unionized he was given
more business than he could
handle, members or all unions
turning their patronage to him. His
employees worked less hours and
drew more pay than employees Of
the trust concerns, and tho place
has been a thorn in the anti-union
association ever since 1t started.
It's success meant that employees in
other laundries might presently de-
mand equal pay and hours, some
thing the trust is determined not
to permit.
But open OPPOSITION meant only
more support for the union laun-
dry, and quiet campaign was in
augurated, as union men look at
it. They claim that Taylor was
brought up here from Latah and as
ISOLATED with Clason to make the
purchase. Yerkes is reported to
have been paid $4,000 for the plant,
but it is likely that he got what
ever he asked, If the trust was the
actual purchaser.
At any rate, the old familiar
trust method of breaking up a
union by declaring for the open
shop has been followed. The East
ern employees, who are ali on the
trust blacklist for being union men,
have from time to time been In
formed that they could make their
peace with the trust and would De
permitted to work at their trade
again in this territory by deserving
the union.
The open shop movement means
that the union members will be
gradually weeded out until none
are left. They will have to leave
the city, as they are blackllsted
and thus the union movement will
be nipped in the bud.
But the trust has organized To-
Dor of the city generally to reckon
with in the process of benevolent
| assimilation" and this last move
| will merely represent the cost OF
