BLAAUW WILL
PROSECUTE
CT. BLOM

The story published in a Taco.
ma evening paper some time age
seeking to connect Dirk Blaauw
Norwegian consul, with the death
of Captain Trovald Blom, had one
result yesterday, and is liable to
have another in the next few days.
Carl T. Blom was arrested in Ell
lensburg late last night, charged
with furnishing libellous informa-
tion and it is said that Mr.. Blaauw
will bring a heavy damage suit
against the publisher of the paper
which printed the story. He IN
timated this course today, saying:
lone thing at time"
The alleged libelous article
dealt with dying statement
Eiom claimed that his brother
had made, duplicating Blaauw,
but as Blom denied knowledge OF
any information at the coroner's
inquest, Prosecuting Attorney Nc
Murray says he will be confront
ed with perjury charge, If he
still sticks to the dying statement
yarn. Practically to deny perjury
is to admit libel, and vice versa,
according to the prosecuting at
torney.

But the schemers do not quit
with one defeat. Union labor
has deserted Seymour bodily but
the game is still to divide the Ia
bor vote. When Fawcett went
down the line for the municipal
dock it was labor that stood by
and put it through. When he ad-
vanced the anti-treat ordinance 1t
was labor that rallied like man
and carried the day. When Faw-
cett stood for the people against
the street car company 1t was la
Dor that he was benefitting and 1t
was labor that stood behind him.
Driven Desperate.
The special interest crowd know
that only by dividing and splitting
up the working vote can Fawcett
be beaten and the special interests
given chance to win.
OF course If they cannot split
1t with Seymour they will try to
split it with Barth. They do not
care how it is split, so it splits.
With the workers broken up then
the Royal Arch and the special in
terests will stand chance to get
back into the political saddle.
Union labor has been bumped
so often by this game that it has
become riled.
The special interests have no
use for Fawcett nor for Barth.
Now that union labor has Off
cially refused to endorse Seymour
the only thing left for the Sey-
mour crowd is to try to divide the
labor vote between Barth and
Fawcett.
AS Fawcett is the dangerous
man to Seymour the natural thing
for Seymour schemers is to try
to make stampede of Fawcett's
natural friends to Barth
1t would be interesting to sit
and watch the shrewd schemes
and manipulations Of the crooked
political game right now if it were
not so serious.
Tacomans know what 1t means
to have the special interests in
control of the municipality.
And there are indications that
they are not going to be fooled.

SPECIAL INTEREST ORGANS IN A SAD PLIGHT

of smoothbore special interest exploiters who farm
labor for profit who politics for graft who want
to bind the masses hand and foot and live on the
neck of productive enterprise in idleness and profit
gacy.
The reason the people have been buncoed in the
past is that the 95 per cent class has been betrayed
by the five per cent class, owning and controlling
the special interests and politics.
But the people coming into their own. The
50 per cent are going to control. They cutting
loose from the per cent class of exploters.
And that is what is hurting the subsidized
organs.
They see the handwriting ON the wall.
This spasm is wall of despair.

Sounds like bunco artist caught in his game
and exposed. This railing and swearing and paving
the earth without rhyme the part OF the

game by which they sought to bounce Mayor Faw-

THE people have won a notable
victory in the decision of the inter
state commerce commission prevent
ing the railroads from putting in
effect increased freight rates. As we
stated at the time the hearing was in
progress, the railroads did not advance
one good season why they should be
allowed to levy an increased tribute
upon the people. The principal argu-
ment advanced by the roads was the
need of more money TO build exten-
sions and Increase facilities for the
handling of more business, and that
the public should pay for these i'm.
proyements and give them TO the
roads, and that the public should for
ever after pay the roads interest on
the investment to be wrung from the
people. OF course, the railroad ad
vocates did not put the case in this
language, but that was all it amount
ed to The proposed increase would
have taken about S27, ,000,00000 per
annum out of the pockets of the
people. After considering the case
carefully, it was found that some
roads apparently needed an increased
revenue. On the other hand, it was
found that some of the lines compel
ing with the needy roads were max
ing good profits, which would indicate
poor management for the roads not
making money. Then the hearing
developed the further fact that the
roads made greater net profits in 1910
than ever before, The commission
reached Just decision. The people
have reason to congratulate them.
