{ New York Shudders :
: In Fear of Salt F.;
: And Pepper Attack :

ITO literally salt and pepper a
great city into submission Is
the form of strike possibility
evolved out of the recent wait
srs' controversy in New York
The sensational plan to make the
power of the men who juggle plates
and spill gravy felt by all the wealthy
diners out in Gotham made New York
gasp. Not only was the plan to salt
and pepper the city into helplessness
suggested. but overt threats of pos
sible poison were forced upon the pub
lie. At least, threat Of poison was the
construction the restaurant and hotel
owners put upon startling utterance
by one of the strike leaders.
In the evolution of the hideous plan
Joseph ]. Ettor and Arturo Giovan-
nitti. who some time ago became prom
inent as leaders Of the Lawrence
(Mass.) mills strike, had leading part.
They put the plan of attack into words,
offering it as good advice to the wait
ers. These two men have had thrill

Only Truth Abides.

Was it not ordained of old that truth
only shall abide forever? Whatever
we may say today or whatever we
may write in our books, the stern tri-
bunal Of history will review it all, de-
tect falsehood and bring US to judg-
ment before that posterity which shall
bless or curse US as we may act now,
wisely or otherwise. We may hide in
the grave which awaits us all-in vain.
We may hope to be concealed there,
like the foolish bird that hides it's
head In the sand, in the vain belief
that its body is not seen. Yet even
there the quick coming future will de-
eide that it was hypocritical pre-
tense, under which we sought to con-
ceal the avarice which prompted us to
covet and to seize by force that which
was not ours.-Thomas Corwin.

ars.
Ettor was first to sound the warcry
for the walters that thrilled the pub
lie In a speech before the strikers he
said. "Go back to work with your
minds made up that it IL the unsafest
thing in the world for capitalists to eat
food prepared by your union"
The subtle threat was widely &C.
cepted as having the most sinister
meaning possible. and the restaurant

agitator prosecuted criminally.
Giovannitti followed with a similar
utterance. which in effect took the
sting and the hideousness out of his
friends words. In a speech he told the
walters: THE walters In Paris won
their strike by subtle means. Where In
certain relish pinch of salt was re-
quired they put in handful. Where
a mere sniff of pepper was needed they
put in another handful"
While New York was still gasping
over the fear Of the ''unsafest thing in
the world and 1.-The subtle means"
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. another oracle
Of the workers, gave new advice. She
told the men to make affidavits as to
the character of the food sent out from
the kitchen under normal conditions.
The walters as result put forward
charges that unfit food was served as
regular thing. having thick coatings
of sauce to cover the signs Of its unfit
ness. and that food rejected by one
person at bic was returned again to
another guest with new sauce hiding
it's defects.
Ettor is twenty-seven years old and
was born in this country he was
sheet metal worker before he became
strike leader as member of the In
dustrial Workers Of the World.
Giovannitti is thirty years old He
was born in Italy. the son Of chemist
He lived In Montreal and Halifax aft
err coming to America and gained
common school education. He entered
Union Theological seminary and regis
