THE
EASEMENT DEATH AS
A JUDICIAL MURDER

mcnt "jud cial murder" Senator
MARITIME, of New Jersey, today a.
tempted in vain to obtain favorable
action on his resolution requesting
the president to seek clemency for
the condt mned Irish leader.
Chairman Stone, of the foreign re-
lations committee was able to pre-
vent consideration.
The conviction of Easement was
assured before he was arraigned,
said MARITIME. There is no more JUS
t fication for hanging him than there
was for the execution of jefferson
Davis ana Robert f. Lee at the end
of the Civil war. The world is aghast
at this horror. In Gods name. has
not Great Britain had enough of blood

SHINGLE WEAVERS
WILL FIGHT TO FINISH

A rousing meeting was held in the
Labor Temple last Sunday afternoon.
Many out-of-town members attended.
The spirit manifested by the Weavers
is that they are determined to win at
all hazards They have originated
scheme whereby they can keep strik-
ing indefinitely without any of their
members feeling the pinch of neces-
sity. So if Gov. Clough or the Kernel
think they have them licked, they
have another think coming Reports
coming in from all parts indicate they
have the situation almost in control.
The boys feel more encouraged now
than at the beginning of the strike.
When are the taxpayers of Everett
going to howl at paying for the keep
of these special police? is a question
that Chief of Police Kelly will have
TO answer in the near future. We dc
not see any necessity for these extra
men. There is absolutely no trouble
not even a drunk to be taken care
of-as the police court proceedings
prove. Somebody Will be doing some
tall explaining pretty soon.

GOVERNOR MAY GET
CHANCE TO CALL TROOPS

Niagara Falls, N. Y, July 27.--There
is strike on at the plant OF the Car
borundum Company, and there is
every indication that the national
guard will be called upon
Under the Stivers law the governor
may call upon the very men on strike
in a city and turn them into soldiers
whose duty it would be to guard the
property of the company they struck.
The Carborundum Company plant
is at present surrounded by a police
guard, comprising all the available
policemen Of Niagara Falls. This was
established after a conference be-
tween officials of the company and of
the city administration.
The police guard zone extends sew
eral blocks on each side of the plant.
No one may walk within the zone if
he IS striker, or unless he can show
that he lives there or has legitimate
business there. The streets are pa
trolled day and night No effort has
been made to curb the lawlessness of
the :ke-breakers, who are fully
armed. One hundred and fifty armed
guards supplement the police force.
The backbone of the strike is
broken is the jubilant tone of the
officials. How true this is may be
judged from the fact that the pant is
being run by force about one-tenth
the regular one, and is hardly turning
out any work. There is also strike
on at the Electro-M Metallurgical Com
pany's plant. The plant is in partial
operation, having also received police
protection
No one can tell how soon trouble
Will break out Citizens resent the
presence of the armed thugs. Many
here believe that it is a short step to
the calling out of the militia.

COSSACKS IN SEATTLE

Two hundred professional nur-
derers are parading the streets of
Seattle, paid for the sole purpose of
creating riot, bloodshed and murder.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific these
monsters of iniquity have left their
trail of blood. In Calumet, Michigan,
one hundred children were burned to
death to help break the strike of the
mine workers of that district. In
Ludlow, Colorado. the tents of the
strikers were saturated with oil and
women and children were burned to
death to break the strike of the
United Mine Workers. Wherever
these monsters have gone murder,
rape and assassination have gone
with them. These are the men who
are being comm ssioned by the police
chief in Seattle to carry on their
murderous work into the homes OF
the workers of Seattle. Law and
Order! What a travesty, with Lank
Wappy, Boutwell, and Rockingham to
le*d the way!

REAPS GOLDEN
HARVEST IN AUSTRALIA

Syracuse, N. Y, July 27.-How Ar
mour & Co., the beef packers, are
reaping a golden harvest from the
Australian drouth which threatens
that country with a prolonged famine,
was told here today by George B.
Langdon, who just returned from
Melbourne.
$50 terrible has the drouth been in
its effects that cattle and sheep are
dying for want of fodder" Langdon
explained. Selling this advantage,
the United States beef trust has been
buying up sheep, for instance, at 21h
pence a pound on the hoof, imme-
diately reselling at regular market
prices to the allies, with whom they
are holding large contracts.
"Of course, the trust manages to
pocket handsome profit in this way.
1t also buys up the cattle, which are
practically dying ON the native ranch
ers' hands, for they cannot afford to
buy fOdder at the StupendOus prices
asked for it since the drouth set in,
and there are no natural pasturing
grounds worth the name left"
The loss of 100000 able-bodied men
who have gone from the country to
Join the allies, Langdon said, is af-
fecting the commonwealth seriously.
incidentally, there IS grain shortage
in Australia, he declared, and instead
of exporting wheat, the country is
compelled to import it.
Food prices have risen enormously.
according to Langdon, although a
food commission established by the
commonwealth has prevented exorbi-
tant charges for necessities to a great
extent.
