Industrial Workers Have
Reached End Of Dupe.
Capacity to Dig Up
AND BABIES
Fail to Arouse Sympathy 80.
All Mills Now Operating
and Men Are Plenty

When the American mill resumed
operations this morning at seven
o'clock, the last mill on Grays Har-
Dor that was affected by the strike
inaugurated by the Industrial Work.
ers of the World was busy saving
lumber. No demonstration of any
kind occurred at the opening of the
American mill, which started up with
all the help required to run the plant
to its capacity. The Western mill
will start up tomorrow after having
been silent about two years. This
mill has been leased by Cliff NJ.
WeatherwaX, president of the Aber-
deem Lumber & Shingle company,
and will be under the superinteild-
ence of City Councilman Chas. r.
Sauers. The Bay City mill, success.
or to the Union mill, is remodeling
the mill and will shortly be in posi-.
ton to operate that large plant at a
greatly enlarged capacity, when every
mill in Aberdeen will be working for
the nrSt time IN two years.
Revolution Falls Flat
All during the past week it became
evident that the revolutionary tactics
of the |. w. w. would not be tolerated
on Grays Harbor, and the despera-
tion of the imported revolutionists
was shown in the plans evolved A
house to house canvas was made in
the working districts and the women
appealed to- They were asked to pick
ct the mills, morning noon and night
and TO bring their babies if they had
them, and the agitators We're not
above furnishing baby buggies and
imitation babies to the childless.
The women, egged on by the revolu-
tionists, proved at first rather irk-
some to the American workers, but
later in the week were regarded as
a joke. especially when it became
known that they We're using borrow
ed and bogus babies to enlist SYM
pathy. A feature of the women pick
ct at the Slade mill Friday was a
young man who who jumped on the
rail OF the Heron street bridge and
told the women a few things very
petinent to the occasion and that they
should have known, had they not
been drafted into the quarrel by their
duped husbands.
Police Acts Impartial
Under the trying conditions exist
ing in Aberdeen for the past month,
too much praise cannot be bestowed
on the police department and Chief
Templeman. 1t was time for dis
cretion, and it was used admirably.
Mistakes may have been made-the
wonder would be if they were not
but, so far as the Herald can learn.
the officers We're determined upon but
one point-to preserve the peace. In
doing so, measures were perforce
adopted that in ordinary times would
not be wise, but the citizenship gen.
orally recognized the situation, and
bowed to police orders, even when
not quite understanding them. For
instance, the order of Mayor Parks
against cOngregating on the streets,
was enforced with the most beneficial
results, albeit, it was somewhat en-
barrassing when the Republican Coun.
ty convention was in session as the
out of town members did not under
stand the order to move on" but
moved without a murmur when the
circumstances We're explained to
them
Would Now Worship Flag
The action taken by the Grand
Army men and the Spanish war vet
erans regarding the insults hurled at
the Stars and Stripes by the revolu-
tionists, has resulted in an alleged
worship of the derided flag by the
leaders within the past few days With
what sincerity may be judged by one
of their tenents of faith, in which the
question of right or wrong" is not
considered. When this bunch of agi-
tators in the pay of Vincent st. John,
of Chicago, began operations on Grays
Harbor, their chief attack was on
the flag, and the United States gov
ernment Talking as they We're to a
