Verona to Everett. What followed
that visit will show that there is
neither freedom of speech nor freedom
of the press in this town, under the
domination of the Everett Commercial
club The Everett Daily Herald of
the 31st described that visit We print
two paragraphs which are pertinent to
this article:
They sailed right in and turned
around and were marched right out
again. Forty |. w. VS. from Seattle,
who invaded Everett last night via
the steamer Verona, were met at the
dock as they alighted, and bundled
into waiting autos by Sheriff Don Nc
Rae and his deputies, assisted by the
deputized citizens, and driven out to
Beverly Park and headed toward
Seattle"
Is it possible that that newspaper
had no further information on the sub
iect? And if it had such information,
does the paper think it treated the
public fairly by not printing the facts?
Does the Herald not know that the
following is about what happened:
The sheriff and the Commercial
Clubs citizen deputies" wearing
masks, took the forty l. w, WIS from
he Verona, put them in automobiles,
drove to Beverly Park and then
formed double line of deputies. Then
what? They compelled their prisoners
t. run the gauntlet" over a cattle
guard, while they were inhuTanly
and numerically beaten with clubs
and other weapons. The ground where
this brutal affair took place was
spattered with blood. Many of the
helpless victims of the brutal citizen
deputies" We're severely injured and it
is reported that one mans arm was
broken, others were beaten about their
heads and bodies, others had their
legs skinned in the cAttleguard, and
one is reported missing.
People living in the neighborhood,
hearing shots and shouts, came out to
learn the cause and we're told to get
back in their houses or they would
receive the same treatment.
Did the Herald learn anything about
any of this? If it didn't, it must stay
away from the Commercial Club or it
would have heard the boastful brag-
eing Of the bloodthirsty gang that
committed the deed. There is a sequel
to this.
Another paragraph in the same

INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS
ARE HIT BY COURT

Labor unions cannot be barred by
injunctions from eXpelling or filming
members who fail to respond to strike
orders because they have signed indi-
vidual master and servant contracts
with their employers. That has been
decided by Supreme Court Justice
Guy in New York in the case of a
waist and dress manufacturer against
the Amalgamated Ladies' Garment
Cutters Union, Local 10, |. l.. G. w. U.
Woolf & SCHUYLER, the manufacturers,
sought an injunction restraining the
Cutters Union from enforcing it's con-
stitution and bylaws to the extent of
eXpelling or filming the members who
were on strike against the firm if they
wanted the court to order the strikers
back to work through the enforcement
of the master and servant contract
they had signed.
Organized labor of the state was in
terested in the outcome of the case
because thousands of workers in many
industries have been forced to sign
master and servant contracts in the
last six months through the anti-labor
tactics of the National Manufacturers
Association and other employers as
sociations which are bitterly opposed
to labor unoins. The manufacturers
thought they would be able to call in
the courts to prevent strikes with
these contracts in their hands. The
contracts give the boss the power to
fire at any time, but the worker agrees
to spend from one to two years in his
service.
Justice Guy in his decision said the
only course open to the employers is a
suit at law to recover damages for
violation of contract. Then the work
ers would show they signed the con-
tract under pain of discharge. The
judge said regarding the retention of
members who disobey strike orders:
"a court of equity should not COM
pei the defendant union to retain them
in membership while disregarding it's
rules and acting in contravention of
its known obligations to others or
from proper and legal application of
its rules to all members. Courts of
equity do not, customarily, compel per-
Torrance of contracts for individual
services or compel third parties to
recognize the obligations Of such con-
tracts, except where iTreparable dam
ge will otherwise result, and there is
no adequate remedy at law, and even
then only where the party asking the
cou.t to intervene has acted and is
acting equit&jly. On the facts as pre-
sented on this motion plaintiffs have
not, in my opinion, brought themselves
|ithin thic ,ale and are not entitled
70 the aid of court of equity. 1ney
must have recourse to their rights IN
court of law to meet the situa zion
they have themselves created.
Motion granted to the extent of re-
straining the defendant, it's off: GERS,
members, agents, employees and all
other persons from interfering with
plaintiffs employees or with the con-
duct of plaintiffs business by threats,
violence or other unlawful methods.
In all other respects the molten is
denied"

The Hosts of Greed
Disgrace Everett

The causes which led to that un-
fortunate happening last Sunday
afternoon date back several months
Prior to the Shingle Weavers
strike efforts were made by labor Of
ficials to come to an understanding
with the mill owners of this city, but
the owners refused to CONFER with the
representatives of their employees,
Being unable to come to an agree
ment with their employers, they re-
fusing to even discuss the matter with
their employees, the Shingle Weavers
voted to strike.
Later a committee of the CONNER
cial Club introduced resolutions strik-
ing at the Single Weayers over the
heads of the business men of this city,
refused to hear the employees side OF
the case. and railroaded the resolution
through.
FIX. Baker, president of the Com
mercial Club and a mill owner APP
pointed this committee TO draft the
resolutions. As president he also de
MED the floor to any single weaver
or any one else t. stale the Single

Then came CONTIGUOUS attack on
the strikers through the daily press,
which naturally resulted in bad feel

Commercial Club, controlled by the
mill owners.
Two OF three clashes occurred be-
tween the strikers and strike-breakers,
resulting in no casualties and little
personal damage to the participants.

SAVE YOUR WASTE PAPER
By Frederic ]. Haskin

CAvE your waste paper! 1t is
y growing more and more valua-
BILE every day. The waste basket
heretofore tolerated only as a neces-
sary evil suddenly assumed an i'm
portance. 1t is supplying the money
with which to help the poor, to buy
supplies for the Red Cross and to pay
off the mortgage on the old home.
A stack of old magazines is now some
thing to be carefully guarded and
mentioned impressively in ones will.
For it is a lamentable fact that paper
the mere paper that we have chuck
ed so extravagantly into the waste
baskets fast becoming scarce.
This shortage, which promises to
get worse instead of better, suggests
many narrowing possibilities. One
paper dealer recently predicted that
in few years all magazines will dis
appear If the situation is not relieved.
Newspapers would be confined to one
sheet, advertising posters would be-
come one of the atrocities of the past,
andea sort of abbreviated code would
revolutionize the art of writing, in
which verbs, adverbs and dashes
would be considered superfluous and
a waste OF paper. While this dealer
was undoubtedly gifted with a super
ior imagination, his statement has
produced a certain amount of nervous
ness among some OF the large pub
fishing houses which are running just
one month ahead on their supply of
paper, and are somewhat doubtful as
to the certainty of the next months.
The representatives of large French
publishing house bought two ships
on their arrival in this country in or
der to insure bottoms in which to
carry paper back to France. They
have had the ships now for over a
month, but are unable to get the
paper.
Many publishers are refusing man.

of paper-a fact that should prove
consoling to many authors. One En-
glish editor states that the failure of
the war to evoke quantities of excep-
tional literature has its cheerful as
poets. "It would be too distressing"
he said, ito know that many literary
masterpieces were being lost to pos
terity because there was not enough
paper to publish them"
Lack of wrapping paper is another
phase of the paper shortage apt to

something does not occur to relieve
the situation. We might possibly sur
vive with one-page newspapers and a
few small magazines printed on rice
paper, but we would doubtless find it
exceedingly annoying in doing our
shopping to carry certain intimate
wearing apparel over our shoulder

Again, the sanitary paper drinking
cups, towels and finger bowls recently
established in public places by the
persistent agitation of the Public

In New York at present the dairies

Q. HenrY's Kitchener

1t is an interesting fact that the
death of Lord Kitchener has made
American editorial writer's think of a
shop girl-a shop girl however, who,
doubtless many would claim is as
deathless as the memory of K. of K,
that is Dulcie, child of the brain of o.
Henry, and heroine of AN Unfinished
Story" Dulcie it will be recalled, got
a wage of Sc a week. On her bedroom
wall was portrait OF Kitchener. He
was Dulcie's ideal OF a gallant knight.
General Kitchener was her only friend
watching her with such beautiful,
stern eyes. the only one there was to
approve or condemn what she did. He
looked as II he might have a secret
sorrow, and his wonderful mustache was
dream and she was a little afraid of
that stern yet tender look in his eyes"
More than once when the longing
for ease. temptation to supplement
her earnings as some of her less par
ticular friends were doing, had almost
overcome Dulcie a look at that uncom-
promising face turned the tide and the
invitations of a certain over-friendly
piggy" were again refused. The New
York Evening Sun commenting edi-
torially on Lord Kitchener's death says
of o. Henry's tribute which was writ
ten number of years ago:
The choice once granted, no one
questioned the fitness of Kitchener
as an incarnation of the high spirit
that holds its course answering
through the discouragements, dis
fractions and allurements of life's
Vanity Fair. And in this fact we
find tribute worth recalling to-
day.

TWO Y. NJ. G. AS ON THE JOB

THERE are some things that are
constantly in the public eye and
others that seldom are seen.
Not that their light is hidden under
a bushel but simply because the light
is dimmed by the stronger glare of
publicity in other directions. Many
things are done under the auspices
of Harrisburg's two Young Mems
Christian Associations that never re-
ceive recognition. One of the most re-
cent of these acts was the hospitality
shown last week to the New York
troopers who went through Harris
burg on their way to the border. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
threw open its swimming pool and
the downtown association offered its
cooling showers, both of which offers
were gratefully accepted BY the SOL
diers.

preciating the splendid efforts of both

of the hearty and active support of
the people of this city, for whom they
exist.

THE LATEST GERMAN FEAT

TIME feat of Germany in sending a
submarine laden with dyestuffs
and medicines across the At
lantic, patrolled as it is by the count
less warships of enemy nations. chal-
lenges the admiration of the world.
1t is a tribute to German mechanics,
German seamanship and German abil-
ity to overcome obstacles that even
the nations opposed to her must ad
mire.
The warm welcome accorded this
underseas visitor at Baltimore and the
eagerness of American shippers to
take advantage of the opportunity
thus offered to renew commercial re-.
lations with Germany ought to go far
toward restoring good will between
the imperial government and that at
Washington. There never was a time
when America did not stand ready to
supply the wants of Germany, as we'll
as those of the allies, and the only
obstacle in the way was the effective
blockade of the allied fleets.
The voyage of this submarine marks
new era In ocean transportation, but
it does not mean that the ports of
Germany are now open. The little
boat that braved the Atlantic so sue
cessfully carries only $50 tons of
freight, and it would require thou
sands of such, passing in a steady pa
rade across the ocean, to make up
the loss of tonnage due to the intern
ing of the great German commerce
fleet now tied up here and elsewhere.
This latest development of the sub
marine is likely to have a bigger eff
feet on naval warfare than it possibly
can have on commerce, for it demon
strates that the underseas boat can be
made in practically any size desired
and that eventually the cruising ca
pacity of the submarine will be
bounded only by the circumference
of the earth. If this war has done
nothing else. it has advanced under
seas navigation half century or more
in two years time.

The Inevitable Change
(Editor and Publisher.)

The management of the Scranton
Republican has acted very wisely in
raising its price to two cents per
copy. The change took effect on June
5, and the temporary loss of circula-
ton has been surprisingly small, with
every prospect that this loss will very
shortly be recovered, and that. because
of the production of still more COM
plete newspaper additional circulation
will be won. General Manager w. ].
Pattison explained to the readers of
the Republican the reasons for the in
crease of price, emphasizing the ap-
proximate increase of 35 per cent. in
the price of news print paper. He re-
minded his readers that unless the
selling price were advanced the only
other method of meeting present con-
ditions would be the reduction of the
size of the paper and the cheapening
of the contents. He considered that
this would not be in the public inter-
est, and to this proposition he has
found no dissent

BRANCH STATE CAPTToI,

HOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH can
NJ hardly be in sympathy with the
Philadelphia proposition to erect
in that city a branch capitol build
ing to house certain departments of
the Commonwealth which now rent
quarters in the metropolis. But the
scheme is being pushed through a
commission authorized by the last
Legislature and unless the whole idea
is squelched by public opinion the
plan will be carried out
Under a resolution or the last
Legislature a commission OF three
Philadelphians has been created and
its first meeting was held Saturday.
Certain departments having branches
in Philadelphia occupy leased quar-
ters and this fact is being seized upon
as the excuse for a sort of secondary
Capitol to cost a half million dollars
or more.
1t is argued in support of this
fanciful proposition that Philadelphia
contributes largely to the States
revenues and, therefore, should have
consideration in this matter.
1t might just as well be advanced as
logical reason for still more branch
capitols that Pittsburgh and Scranton
and other important cities help largely
in swelling the annual income of the
Commonwealth. These should also
get in on the great plan of dismember-
ment of the constitutional headquar-
ters of the government of the State.
Having failed in its effort to remove
the capitol to Philadelphia after the
destruction by fire of the old struc-
ture few years ago the plan is now
advanced in a new form.

EMERY ON MILITARY TRAINING
TNHE discussion centering about
military training among civil

THE discussion centering about
military training among civil
ians, in the schools, and other
wise, have in the main advocated such
training from the standpoint of pre-
paredness for peace and for the pur-
pose of forming a reserve force the
very existence OF which would lend
power to the diplomatic negotiations
of the government. The economic
value of military training has been
given little attention and it Is with
considerable interest that one reads
the article in the Nations Business by
Henry c. Emery, former chairman of
the United States Tariff Board under
President Taft apd an eminent au-
thority on economic questions.
This economist takes the view that
the money cost necessary to a military
establishment is an investment of
capital, not destruction of wealth. in
that the military establishment makes
for greater industrial efficiency And,
in addition, the elastic quality of labor
in this country is Justification for his
statement that the call to military
training simply takes UP the slack and
industry maintains the same level
with greater efficiency all along the
line. The undoubted advantage to the
youth of the country in few months
of real training is summed up in
these words:
Young men at the age at which
such service would be undertaken
have. not married and assumed family
responsibility: Many of them are
simply on the industrial waiting list,
not yet skilled or experienced in any
particular line of production, fire.,
quently waiting for some opportunity
to turn up or moving aimlessly and
restlessly from one occupation to an
other, trying to discover where they
fbest fit into the established business
order. Would not a vigorous military
FRAMING merely take up the slack OF
