THE WAR OF THE CLASSES.
Did you notice in the newspapers
about the Seattle laundry girl being
discharged (fired) because she was
suhpoeuned before the stat. labor
commission. and. having her class az
heart. dared 20 tell the facts7 What
DO you think OF coward who would
discharge laundry girl for this7
And DO you patronlze a rotten in
sutuuon that would be so low and
NANCY and un-American7 We would
All love TO act as prosecuting attor-
ney for just this one case, but the
people Of Seattle can DO better than
thih We can teach such a laundry
lesson that 10 viii never forget
shun u like you would mad dog:
avoid IL as you would a rattiesnake.
Did you know that Seattle Is go
one that will not be controlled by
the laundry trustT Yes. this is n

and the laundry. trust hog In Sc.
attic r. getting It's bristles up and
trying 20 ohstruct and destroy II.
The people OF this city should give
their financial and moral support
70 mis- project Yoa can gamble
laundry will not be discharged for
obcying .he law.
Did you notice where an alleged
man from Raymond. Washington.
was In favor OF a laundry girl being
allowed 10 cents for n mealr I do
not know whether this individual
Is native Of Japan or China who
has just arrived. but I notice that
bis meal was $40. Geei but he
mond ought 70 be proud Of their dis
tinEuished Decent citizen who
would eat 5000 worth Of ham and
eggs each week while a laundry girl
for whole week. / wonder II he
was not afraid Of the laundry girls
getting the govt on those Decent
meals. Let's put cooperative
their philarthropist laundry man
aRer on l0-cent meals: IL might
make him human.
Now. ms a matter Of fact the above
questions are mere incidents TO tho
Glass War. what the laundry man
ayers want Is cheap labor power and
the girl who win live the cheapest
can work the cheapest while she
tlives) slaves. She Is commodity
TO the manager Just exactly as the
to him. and the more he can exploit
from her the more and larger the
dividends will this great manager
make the wash house pay 10 the
bonds. This Is what this "Ch ristian"
go world calls successful bust
ness man. So do not blame him:
blame the system and help the CO.
operative use Institutions and put
the profit Institutions out of busi-
ness.
LUDLOW. COLORADO.
No. some people do not like TO
heNr about the Ludlow massacre and
the Colorado war, but facts are
dreadful things. The facts are that
the anarchist gunner who fired on
helpless women and children and
murdered them were oheying orders
and were hired and paid for the job.

fidavits OF Joe +: Dominiski, Dave
Stewart. Frank Didanc and 1ohn

was q9iet and peaceable when the
women and children were fired
upon; that about 400 men. zoo wom-
en- and 400 children were in the tent

The bullets used were explosive
toys that burst and blew up when
they hit a person. so that they would
be sure to tear and mutilate, kill
and destroy those they hit
