WORKERS OF EVERETT IN
CoMATosE CONDITION
MANY SOCIALISTS FAILED TO
REGISTER

Last Saturday afternoon the work
ing class of Everett took their own
moral and intellectual measure. They
declared by their ballots that an in
ferior social position and continued
economic servitude and dependence
are still good enough for them. And
they ought to know.
Only 419 votes were cast for COM
rade AL. Roeder, and 414 for comrade
Theodore Boer, Socialist candidates
for school directors.
How is this for town which boasts
of over 1000 Socialists when it comes
to a presidential election?
Only a school election?
ONLY!!I
Well fellow wage-slaves of Everett,
perhaps you're right. Maybe you are
not worthy of freedom yet. Let the
bosses and the Pope of Rome run your
schools if you feel unequal to the
task.
You forgot to register?
Well, 2,1S7 of your political oppon-
ents did not forget to register.
Haven't got vote?
Well, this must be granted. We
know of hundreds of workers in Ev-
erett who are good straight Social
lists, but have no vote, not having been
long enough resident of Everett.
The editor of the Commonwealth is
one of them.
While it is true that we made no
campaign for cur candidates, the
small percentage of our comrades who
went to the polls last Saturday points
a moral and offers a lesson that we
would do we'll to heed.
What was the trouble?
The answer is very simple: LACK
OF ORGANIZ ALTON.
We have plenty of agitation going
on all the while, but not enough en-
ergy is put into the task of organic
ing those who claim to be Socialists,
and who really do vote the ticket
straight on what THEY consider i'm
portant elections.
Let our watchword from now on be,
Organization! Organization!
And let's begin today. Button-hole
the first alleged Socialist you see, any
where, and make him show cause why
he should not come down to head
quarters next Wednesday evening and
put in his application for Red Card.

A number of years ago the coal
companies crushed the unions in
Southern Colorado Not content with
doing this, they took possession of the
government. In several counties cleo

barons selected judges, sheriffs, cor

bers of the state legislature; in a
word, they were the government The
result was inevitable State laws in
tended to protect the miners were
violated with impunity Miners were
compelled to buy everything at the
company's stores. They lived in com
pany houses, went to church and to
school in buildings on company lands

FREE LEGAL ADVICE
COMMONWEALTH OFFERS AID TO
COMRADES IN TROUBLE

Beginning with next weeks issue,
the Commonwealth will open a column
for the use of its subscribers who need
legal advice. Questions submitted
will be answered without charge to
the inquirer, provided his or her name
be on our subscription list
The Commonwealth has retained the
able young Socialist attorney, Peter
HUSKY, who has been an efficient and
untiring worker in the Socialist move
ment for some years.
Comrade HUSKY, a graduate of the
University OF Washington School of
Law. is not "briefless barrister" re-
Gently come into the Socialist move
ment, but an ardent Socialist worker
who went into the legal game because
he saw that competent counsel was a
desideratum in the ranks of the revo-
lutionary working class; and he has
mastered the subtleties of capitalist
law and procedure as his part of the
fight in the worldwide battle for eco
nomic freedom.
Heretofore it has not unfrequently
happened that comrades in trouble
sought the advice of the editor of
this paper But your editor is not a
lawyer, nor has he the time to devote
TO such matters. So from now on our
readers are invited to address all
questions involving points of law to
comrade Peter HUSKY, Room 2O9
Stokes Bldg, 1916 - Hewitt Ave,
Everett, Wash.
Answers will appear in the legal
column of the Commonwealth as soon
as possible after receipt Of the inquiry
and no charge will be made the ap'
plicant for advice.

RADIO A strike is on in the coal fields.
The coal companies imported gunner

They have attacked defenseless wom-

villages on the mountain slopes. They
have done in Colorado just as they
did in West Virginia.
The miners obtained arms. Force
has been met with force. There have
been several pitched battles, with a
number Of dead and wounded on both
