WHERE EVERY HOME FEELS
RELENTLESS GRIP OF LAW

Loewee also attached the saw
ings of many union men in the
banks. That was a terrible blow,
in strike times, with grocery bills
owing.
The national union came to the
relief Of those whose deposits
were attached. and paid them
their money, giving a bond for it's
individual members.
"If you don't stop releasing these
attachments We'll make new at
tachments every day. You'll have
to give new bonds every day in
that case"
So the national union stopped.
1T doesn't cost anything to issue
an attachment in Connecticut
says Howard Taylor. counsel for
the Danbury unions. "Any lawyer
can make out one in his office and
serve it, without going to court.
But it coses money to give bonds,
and even John d. Rockefeller
couldn't give daily bonds for
100000 very long"
The manufacturers haven't been
entirely unkind. The might have
prevented the national union from
releasing the attached bank &C.
counts. But the manufacturers re-
fused to take full advantage of the
rights the law gave them. And
that helped Danbury to see that it
was not entirely case of man
against man, in the fight of capital
against unions, but Of system
against system, with bad laws ia
voring capital.
So, if there is any hard feeling
at all, it is against lawmakers who
bow down to capital, with its
wealth, instead of to labor, with it's
hopes.
OF 1000 men in the fine little city
Of Danbury, 1000 are now out of
employment. They are we'll dressed
and they all wear fine, new hats
(they can buy fine hats in the fac
tories for 81. You can see them
lounging about the elm shaded
streets. They are not saloon hang
ers on.
"Unionism has made this the fin
est little city in the country" said
Mayor Gilbert. These men get
from Sc to $40 a day, working from
$50 to 2 or 8 o'clock every day.
Unionism did that. But. If the light
is bright, nthat respect, the dark
side is all the darker. When the
unions do have trouble it is real
trouble. Everybody suffers"
"The day before the strike was
ordered a storekeeper ordered 5000
cans of corn from me-" said a trav-
cling man from New York, in the
hotel "The day after the strike
was ordered he Cancelled the or
der.
Somebody's going to miss that
corn in this town, simply because
he won't have the money to buy
it," said the salesman. Maybe it
means that women and children
will go hungry

tiny tucks and lace.
One woman worried over a plat.
ed skirt she has and really needs
to wear. Now you don't hear a
thing about plated skirts, and vet
a French book showing new silk
materials had plated skirts and
quite short coats.
After all, the way to look the best
and keep your individuality is to
carefully Gull the points you like
from new styles, discard absurd ex
tremes and then wear what, in your
Judgment, seems reasonable.

C0mMENDS
THE MAYOR
and PRESS
CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL
TAKES ACTION-STAND OF
THE PRESS INDORSED.

For the purpose of bringing
about a modification of the city
ordinance prohibiting street speak
ing, over which the !. w. w. and
the police are at war, a committee
of five men was appointed at the
meeting Of the Central Labor coun.
Gil last night, to meet with the city
council, this evening.
A resolution commencing Mayor
N. S. Pratt for his promises to pro
tect the laboring men in the
clutches of the salary loan sharks
and to send The Spokane Press a
communication, thanking it for its
stand in the free speech fight and
against the money lenders, was
taken.
The resolution in commentator
of the act of Mayor Pratt follows:
Resolved, That the acts of May
or Pratt in protecting the laboring
men from the graft of the employ
ment agents and the salary loan
sharks. be hereby commended and
approved.
Delegates to the central labor
body explain today that their ac-
ton in the free speech matter was
not taken so much in favor of the
Industrial Workers of the World, as
it was for general principles. In
fact, labor unionists are free to say
that they are not in sympathy with
the methods employed by the l. w.
w. in forcing their point, but they
do believe in recognition of the
right to free speech.

were dragged from a state to a ter
ritory for convenience of the
prosecution.
Finally the three prisoners at
Florence were prosecuted and SEN
fenced on the absurd charge OF
conspiracy to violate the neu-

charge not even suggested until
months after their arrest, and
which has here found its first ap-
plication in the United States.

Experience of |. w. w. Prisoner
Men Demand the Unconditional
Surrender of Prisoners as
First Peace Move.

Consequent to sudden forced
changes from an atmosphere some
hotter than torrid Africa to one
similar to that of Alaska in au-
tumn, while confined in the city
Jail, Sam Boahauk, an Industrial
Worker of the World, is in a pre-
carious condition at the Capital
hotel. Sam was convicted of dis
orderly conduct Friday afternoon.
Street speaking was his offense.
According to his story, and that
of others who were in the jail with
him, he was kept for % hours in
the tortures of the sweatbox, to-
gether with q other men. On Sat
urday night he was taken, almost
dripping with perspiration, from
his long confinement in the sweat
box, to the cold storage" a cold,
damp place, where he fairly shook
with chill.
He became sick as the result of
the brutal treatment, he claims,
but was forced to go back to the
sweatbox again yesterday morning.
The result of this treatment Is al
most startling, for Boahauk was
taken from the city jail last night
in dangerous state of health and
was hurried to a room in the Cap
ital hotel, where he is under the

These five men are leaders of

are not anarchists. They are not
criminals. In Mexico they have
been guilty of publishing papers,
speaking and writing in favor of

which is another way of saying
that they oppose the military die

Is their offense. 1t is a purely po-

COST COUNTY
$lll2.3O TO FEED
THE PRISONERS

It cost the county Of Spo-
kane exactly $f112.3o to feed
the prisoners in the county
jail last month, almost $500
more than ever before In the
history of that institution.
At one time during the
month 1852 prisoners were
crowded into quarters which
were built for the accommo-
dation of 116 prisoners, and
while that number has de-
creased to 1870 through the
steady grind of the courts, the
116 beds are at present in
sufficient for the prisoners.
The inactivity of the courts
for two months and the steady
influx of offenders were the
causes Of the congested condi-
ton of the bastile during last
month.
