PIRATES BATTLE
WITH SURVIVORS
OF WRECKED ASIA
Especial from United Press.1


Shanghai, China, April 25.-The most
thrilling battle between Chinese pir-
ates and Europeans in a decade, was
reported by the survivors of the wreck
ed Pacific Mail liner Asia, when they
were landed here today For hours
the officers and crew of the Asia fought
off the pirates who swarmed UP her
sides with the hope of looting her val
liable cargo, with rifles, Sotguns and
revolvers, and finally with rude clubs
and winches. The natives were badly
beaten and a number killed, but they
returned to the attack time and again
after being repulsed. A. E. CoZen, en-
gineer of the Asia and Arundel, a
bartender, were captured by the pirates
but afterwards were ranSOmed Tor
$500. Arundel was later missed and 1t
is feared was recaptured. Mrs. Chen
Dong Chez, wife Of an Oakland, Cal,
merchant, was wounded while in one
of the lifeboats. There were no other
casualties among the ships company.
True to the traditions of the sea,
Captain Gaukroger, of the Asia, is
standing by his sunken vessel, the top
Of whose stacks are visible above the
water The first officer of the Asia,
who brought the sixty saloon and 700
steerage passengers and the mails OF
the wrecked steamer to this port, re-
ported that the crew fired 500 rounds
at the pirates during Sunday and un-
til the steamer slipped off the rock
and sank on Monday. He says that
despite the fact that Captain Gauk-
roger is alongside in a tug.
The Asia was running at three-quar-
tiers speed on Sunday and in some
way got off her course and hit a rock
off Finger Island The rock tore her
hull through the first and second bow
compartments and the water came IN
as through a sieve 1t was then half
past five in the morning and the pas
sengers and crew were ordered on
deck. Most Of them brought their out
er clothing with them hurriedly dress
ing as the lifeboats andSrafts were put
over the side. Women and children
were taken first and within thirty
minutes all Of the passengers were in
the boats Before the water reached
the batteries the wireless had given
the alarm and word was received that
the Chinese steamer 1Shaohsing was on
the way. She reached the scene and
rescued the passengers soon after 10
O'Clock. She stood by until the Ameri-
ca-Maru arrived.
Meanwhile, the crew had returned to
Asia which had settled low in the
water and were standing by to repulse
the pirates who swarmed about her In
large numbers. They protected them
selves from the fire of the officers
an dcrew Of the wrecked steamer with
mattresses and when driven down one
side started up the other.
The mails were brought on deck and
transferred to the Shaohsing and it
was while getting OFF the last Of them
that Cozen and Arundel were captur-
ed. Cozen killed several pirates before
he was taken. They We're ransomed
but for some reason or other Arun-
del did not come off in the boat with
Cozen, the pirat es claiming it was ov-
erloaded. Nothing further has been
heard from him, however
Yesterday, the Asia slipped off the
rock and sank into deep water

Good, square legitimate business
dealing in the buying and selling of

The issuance OF injunctions against
workinSmen is one of these.
They say hat Mr.. Taft is not an
original man.
But if he originated the injunction
in labor disputes, he is entitled to
discrcdit and everlasting ignominy for
at least one original thought
When this misuse OF the %injunction
first came into vogue. back in the
nineties, We were all amazed and
shocked. The audacity of it almost
took our breath away.
We have now got used TO it.
But the fact hat we have got
used to it does not make the bare
walls of Il Jail any more cheerful.
1t does not make the club of a
policeman descending upon alleged
violator of an outrageous injunction
feel any softer.
1t does not make the despair over
n lost strike-lost because the strik-
ers were cljoined from doing any
thing to win the strike any less pain
full.
1t does not make long hours of labor
seem any shorter.
1t does not make men. women and
feel the deprivation of every
thing worth While any the less keen
ly.
This use of tho injunction was an
infamous usurtion in The first place.
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1911-09-14

1t came into existence by the judges
stretching their own powers.
There are two ways to get rid of it.
One way is by enacting laws prohib-
iting the courts from exercising it..
For that purpose. all workingmen
should vote for the Socialist candi-
dates for the legislature and for con-
gresS.
The other way is by electing judges
who will nullify this judge-made law.
In order to accomplish tina pur-
pose. every workingman should vote
for the Socialist candidates for Judi
cial positions.
Then we will have judges on the
beach who are opposed to the use of
injunctions against workingmen.
They will abolish, the Injunction
nuisance in short order by refusing
to grant such injunctions.
