Are Aided by Citizens.

The hat bands OF the cruisers Charles
ton, Colorado and California were most
numerous among the sailors. A few
uniformed members of the Washington
naval militia joined with the naval men.
though citizens made up most of the
mob.
The actual destruction of property was
carried on by uniformed men, including
q number of petty officers. The dam
age is estimated at $4,000.
A report was widely circulated that
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels
in speech at the Rainier Club: had
taken the Industrial Workers of the
World as his subject and had declared
that they and all other believers in the
red flag should be driven out of the
country. Those who heard the address
of the Secretary say that it was exceed
ingly moderate and had no reference to
any local trouble Nor did he at any
time mention the industrial workers.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was at
the Army and Navy ball when told of the
extent of the damage done by the rioters
He said 1t would not be fair to ask him
to discuss the outbreak, because he
knew nothing about it.

any. L did not mention the Industrial
Workers of the World nor did I know
that organization had obtained a foot

on the flag was not made here for the
first time. but was a repetition from my
| recent address at Erie, Pa"
Rear Admiral Reynolds. commander OF
the reserve fleet, expressed regret at the
outbreak, of which he had heard only In
definite rumors. He was, therefore, not In
a position to discuss the rioting, he said

The admiral continued: while I was
at dinner with Secretary Daniels on the
West Virginia word came from Chief OF
Police Bannick warning me that he
feared there might be trouble between
| the Sailors and Industrial Workeds, owing
to i'll feeling existing between them. I at
once sent a patrol of thirty men ashore
armed with night sticks. They were in
structed to round up such disorderly men
as might be found and send them to their
ships"

The socialist party Is a national POI
litical party and has nothing to do with
the red flag" said Mr.. Price. Il think
the riot resulted from the way Secre-
tary Daniels speech was reported by
one OF the newspapers. The sailors
were melted to violence and once
started they did not recognize the diff
| ference between a national political
party like the socialists and an unor-
ganized crowd like the Industrial
Workers of the World"

SAFETY
First Idea Has Been Adopted
By B. & 0. Railroad

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has adopted the safety first" idea and
ON the bulletin boards are posted
set of rules for the benefit of en-
ployes.
Among the more importan rules
issued are the following:
Proper F'lagglng necessary
to flag be positive you go back far
enough to absolutely protect your
train. See that you have torpedoes,
flag and red and white lantern.
Kicking Couplers-Do not kick
couplers or attempt to adjust with
your hands as cars come together.
Walking on Track-Where it is nee
essary to walk on track form the hab-
it of looking in both directions for
approaching train.
Stepping Off One Track Onto An
other-Step clear of all running
tracks. DO not step off one track on
to another The noise of passing
train often browns the sound of the
bell or whistle of approaching train.
Backing Up-Be especially careful
in backing up or when cars are be-
ing pushed ahead of the engine. Have
man on first car or tank or engine.
Protection While Under Car or En-
gine-Before going under car or en-
gine for any purpose see that engl-
neer and conductor know where you
are.
Most of the fatal injuries would
have been ay oided had these rules,
called to your special attention, been
lived up to. See that new men are
thoroughly familiar with them. The
experience men should give the new
men especial care Do not take
chances.
