FIVE SLAIN IN RIOT.
Industrial Workers of World and Citi-
Zen'S Posse Fight.

Everett, WASH, Nov. 5.-At least
five men were killed and forty others
were wounded today in fight at the
Everett City wharf between 250 mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World, who came here from Seattle
on the steamer Vernon, and posse
of $50 citizens headed by Sheriff Don
McRae. Sheriff McRae is among the
seriously wounded.
The exact number of causualtles
aboard the Verona is not known here.
After the shooting, in which about
one thousand shots were exchanged,
the Verona turned around and start
ed back to Seattle. Many men were
seen to fall on the deck of the Vero-
ma and others, panic stricken, jump
ed overheard. Some were taken from
the water, but others disappeared
and it is believed they were drowned.
Opposed Landing.
The Verona reached Everett short
" before 2 o'clock The coming of
the party of invaders had been an
nounced in messages sent to Everett
from Seattle headquarters. A call
to Industrial Workers of the World
members from all over the State had
been issued earlier in the week and
the citizens of Everett, at meeting
held Saturday night, planned to meet
the invaders and deny them privilege
of landing.
When the Verona docked Sheriff
McRae, who was backed by posse
of deputy sheriffs and citizens, in
formed the men on the boat that they
would not be permitted to land. One
of the men, evidently spokesman for
the party, began arguing with the
sheriff and then made speech.
Apparently as a signal, the man
dropped his hand and armed men on
the steamer opened fire on the posse.
The first man to fall was Sheriff Nc
Rae, seriously injured. One man was
killed instantly and in moment the
crowd on shore was panic-stricken.
Deputy sheriffs, however, returned
the fire.

He then stepped up to the PROSTATE

several good offers on steamboats,. He
said he could not bear the Kissing of

his pole. He went to the Missouri,
and about a year since was shooting
the tin cup, when he had corned too

WESTERN ROAD HEADS
PREPARE FOR fight
Detective Agencies Scour Country for
Strikebreakers.

(By the International News Service.)
Chicago. Aug. 3l.-The threatened rail-
road strike, should 1t occur, will mean a
bitter fight between organized labor and
organized railroads, at least so far as the
West is concerned. This was made GER
tain here today when officials of all the
big roads entering Chicago planned to
attend a meeting at the Chicago Club to
perfect plans whereby a united front will
be presented to the striking brother
hoods.
Although generally uncommunicative,
they made no attempt to conceal the real
reason for the gathering.
Every private detective and secret ser
vice agency In Chicago had its nets out
for strikebreakers today. They have been
carte blanche and were collecting men by
the score.
The railroad heads were pessimistic as
they gathered for the meeting
President Z. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe,
who has grown gray in railroading, and
who has weathered many strikes, acted
as spokesman.
The strike" he said, will be due to
the display on the part of the brother
hoodJ Of an unrcasonableness, an AFRO
gance, and a disregard for the rights and
interests of the railways of the 50 per
cent Of the railway employees not in
volved in this controversy, and Of the
American public, that is absolutely with
out precedent"

timated that In order to get the meas
ure through 1t would be necessary to
agree that the rest of the President
program, as outlined in his address to
Congress. would have to be taken up
and given consideration before adjourn
ment.
The Republicans of the Senate will
insist upon this being DONE Senator
Kern said that in any event, he believed
the legislation the brotherhoods demand
would be SO far advanced by Saturday
night that 1t would amply assure the
country the strike would not occur.
The strike situation was discussed
again in the Senate yesterday. Senator
Stone prophiesied that Republicans
would be found "harping and criticising''
and refusing to aid in enacting legisla-
ton to meet the case. Senator Gallinger
retorted that the Democrats had a ma
1ority of seventeen and asked II they
did not think themselves competent to
deal with the subject.
Criticises President.
II have been here a long time" said
senator Gallinger. but l have not seen
any President come to this Capitol in
the way the President now comes. nor
nave ever seen such interference with
legislative matters as in the prese ut
administration. Senators know the
President comes here as a grand stand
play to impress the country. He did 1t
in connection with the child labor bill
and he is doing II now. What puzzles
me is that after coming up yesterday
to tell what he wanted done. he had
to come up again today to tell the ma
jority how to frame its bill"
Senator Thomas denounced the
freight embarsoes OF the railroads on
foodstuffs. He said they should. in
stead. be utilizing all their resources
to move foodsturfs to the city market
This phase of the discussion was pre-
cipitated by reading a flood of tele-
grams protesting against the embargo
and appealing for Congressional relief.
There are great financial powers in
this country that want this strike. and
want 1t at this time" declared Senator
Reed. He said a half dozen men in
New York City could have prevented
1t without the cost of a dollar to them
selves.
