LOYAL COMRADE is v
REMOVED FROM STRUGGLE

A week ago last Sunday our
ever loyal comrade, j. X. Reece,
was removed by death from the
class struggle in which he had
fought valiantly and persistently
for many years.
Comrade Reece was at one
time the one lone Socialist in
the city of Everett, and for years
fought almsot single-handed for
worHng-class emancipation.
Loving friends and comrades
followed him to his peaceful
resting place, covering his grave
with flowers colored by Nature
with the scarlet hue which sym
bolized the cause for which our
lamented comrade gave all Of
his life, and on whose final trt-
umph he placed all OF his hopes.
