A bad cutting scrape took place at
Tucson, Arizona, within the stockade
or hull pen in which the railway COM
pany houses the scabs.
Two negro coks mixed and one of
them got his throat cut from ear to
ear and the ther had his arm nearly
severed off They wee arrested and
taken before the police magistrate,
who fined them $50 each. Had they
been union men instead Of scabs that
done the cutting, the men in all like
lihood would have been sentenced to
the penitentiary for a number OF
years.
The following is taken from a cir
cular sent out from the strike head

wanting in the same proportion to
their lack of manhood and principle.
We find that the railroad company is
very persistent in their efforts to break
our ranks and are certainly making
the full use of the dirty press in cir
culatlng the reports broadcast that
the strike is practically at an end and
large numbers of the men have re-
turned to work. The railroad COM
pany never has realized what It Is
up against, more than they do now
the old tactics have been exhausted
and every conceivable plan has met
with the same defeat in their efforts to
disrupt our solid front. Now that the
holidays are at hand 1t is a well known
fact that they will use all means TO
work on he sympathies of the men
and their families who have been
struggling manfully for their rights

among their ranks. Stand together

at o. clock this morning in an alter

Immediately north Of the st. Marks

spinning through the coat collar of
Andrew Gunmundson. 22 years old Of
257 West 5th.. also a striking carman.
According to evidence these two men
were accosted hy two scabs who in
suited them with scurrilious remarks
with reference to their union, and
without any provocation one of them
suddenly pulled gun and COM
menced shooting, the bullet entered
Haydens back and coursing upward
penetrated the intestines and the doc
tors expresses belief mat 1t may prove
fatal The assailants have been cap
tured and both had revolvers.
Hayden Is known to be an upright
honorable man of high standing in The
hearts of his fellow men, and a man
who Is OF a very retiring disposition
and wouid be the last to precipitate
any trouble. 1t is be hoped that the
good people of Salt Lake will rise up
i'm their wrath against the harboring
of such an element in their midst
who are a continual menance to
public safety and compel the railroad
company to rid the city of such unde-
slrables and that the full limit of the
law will be meted out.
The strikers at Salt Lake are fully
confident of ultimate victory and are
prepared for the selge II 1t lasts un-

"Bu Id solidy by rolling up a bis
party membership" is the word tha
has gone forth. California Social
Democrat. the official organ OF tho
Social st party in the state. has sum
med up the situation in an editorial
under the heading Socialism Wins
Victory which reads as follows:
Although at the election Tues
day the Los Angeles Socialist tick
ct and candidates were defeated at
the polls, the result was a most
substant al victory for Socialism.
Never has the working class
fought such a political battle any
where In this or any other country
1t was throughout a campaign
of agitation, educat on and or
ganization carried on under great
difficulties.
From its inception the Socialists
forced the fighting and brought
forward every affirmative issue.
The one great principle under
lying evey local question raised
and discussed was the right of
exploitation.
At every step in the campaign
this was challenged by the So
ciallsts and the opposition was not
permitted to escape or evade this
great Socialist principle.
1t was after the primary election
in which the Socialist ticket won
by nearly four thousand Plurality
that there began the real struggle
of the campaign.
Los Angeies since the close OF
the primary election has been the
storm center OF the class-struggle
not only in America but in the
civilized world
on the stage OF action here
during the past four weeks and
passing in rapid view there has
been enacted all the farce, the
comedy and the gaunt. grim trag-
edy always present wherever real
and not mimic battles are being
fought.
Socialists able to comprehend in
their fulness the issues involved
therein-and none but Socialists
are able to so comprehend
emerge therefrom with an en-
larged horizon, a broader outlook
and a more col fident assurance
of the final triumph OF Socialism.
The Socialist ticket and candi
dates were defeated In the election
in Los Angeles December 9Th.
but Socialism won a victory.
