HANDS OF THE LAW

Even before being tried the Indus
trial Workers, now IN jail on charge
Of murder, are being treated "a Grim
inais. Last week finger prints of the
"a were taken and the proofs are be
ing sent to all parts Of the country
to try and hitch somc other crime on
them should they b." found mot
guilty in this case. S"mc Of them
have been photographed, for what
purpose the authorities alone knew.
Their attorney. Fred IL, Moore,
made several futile attempts to get in
jail to stop the proceedings, but all to
no purpose. All kinds of rotten ex-
cus's have been made to keep the at
tornoy and other citizens from seeing
the men. One day the press will
come out and say any person can
visit them, but in several instances
this has been denied when visitors
make the attempt.
Attorney Moore had to even ask
for an order of the court in order to
speak to his clients.
The daily press is cooking up all
kinds of stuff against this organiza-
ton in an attempt to make these men
out to be criminals of the worst type.
A great number of people in Everett,
however, have got sick of the tactics
of the capitalist press and have come
to the conclusion that the biggest
bunch of criminals that ever walked
this earth are now walking the streets
of Everett
The press and the mill owners, etc,
have lied so often that they are at
present all tangled up. Their stories
are wild and will not bear the light
of facts, but that does not in any way
make them criminals in the eyes of
the LAW. 1t is their law, to do with
as they please, and it will remain SO
as long as the working class permit
a few to dictate how the many shall
live.

ANOTHER SOCIALIST
MAYOR OF BIG CITY

There is a result of the election
held last week that has just been re-
allied. 1t is the selection of another
Socialist mayor. After the opening of
congress next winter Charles p. Stein
metz, loyal and devoted Socialist, will
be mayor of Schenectady, through the
resignation of Lunn, who will then
take his seat as a congressman and a
colleague of Christy Sullivan, Daniel
J. Riordan, J. j. Fitzgerald and other
noble democrats.
Steinmetz was elected last year as
president of the common council, and
upon the resignation of Lunn he be-
comes mayor. And, with a man of his
caliber in office, there is no POSSIBLE
ity Of the events of last spring being
repeated.
Steinmetz is a man Of eXtraordi-
nary attainments. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that there is no superior to
him as an electrical engineer. And
as a loyal Socialist there is no better.
He fled from Germany under the
brutal Bismarcllian anti-Socialist laws.
He never took his university degree,
because he was unable to complete his
work and be Socialist propagandist
at the same time, and he preferred
Socialist work. And today, a quarter
Of century later, full of honors, load
ed with honorary degrees, acclaimed
by Edison as the greatest of them all,
he stigmatizes those as worthy of pity
who desert Socialism for the party of
Tom Haggart, Hinky Dink and Bath
house John.
The Socialist party is proud of such
men as Steinmetz, and it is happy
that such a man will be its mayor of
a great city. Elected the last time on
the same ticket as Lunn, he will be
reelected next fall as the Socialist
party mayor, and will serve the move
ment with the same distinction with
which he has served science.
