lstrike was called from San Diego to
Juneau-from Mexico to Boring Sea.
The captain would have the public
believe this strike was aimed at
Everett shipping alone, but the public
knows better. The strike in Everett
was only a small part of the strike
embracing the entire coast
The captain says:
Some have been deprived of life,
many were deprived of liberty in the
prosecution of their daily work, and
no one living in dread of disaster can
prosecute the pursuit of happiness
with any success. Numerous assaults
of unprotected workmen occurred.
Men were waylaid beaten and serious
ly injured"
No striker or strikebreaker was de-
prived of life, and it is only an as
sumption that many were deprived of
liberty in the prosecution of their
daily work. Many small scraps have
occurred it is true, but no more than
have happened in what are called
peaceful times.
The fact that the restaurants re-
fused, under pressure, to feed the
scab lOngshoremen is but a sequence
of the general strike conditions on
the entire Pacific coast.
"The county Jail had been mobbed
and the sheriff compelled to call to
his aid the citizens to dispense such
mob or mobs. In short, a reign of
terror prevailed for months"
That mob or mobs which threatened
the county jail created only a ripple
of excitement. The reign of terror"
has existed since the Goth day of Oc-
tober and since the captain has 'for-
gotten to mention it, the Journal will
call attention to a certain happening
on the above mentioned date a little
further on.
He doesn't lay all the disorder on
the unions.
Nov, it is not the intent of this
recital to lay all this disorder to the
striking weavers, longshoremen or
steamboat men, but their initial ac-
lions opened up many possibilities
and aided in creating a condition that
seemingly always acts as a load-stone
for the |. w. W., who, true to their
nature, began to inject themselves
into the disturbed condition So pro-
nounced became their activities that
the constituted authorities became
alarmed and sought to curb them
Among other measures attempted
was an ordinance forbidding fore
gathering and inflammatory grafton
on five Of the principal street cor
ners. No attempt was made to pre-
vent free speech elsewhere in the
city, nor was any thought of. The I.
w. w. were free to preach their doc
trine anywhere but on the few public
places specified in the city ordinance"

Beverly Park

Beverly Park
Now let us suppose the I. w. w.
were allowed by law to speak else
Hewitt avenue between Grand avenue
and Broadway. See how it worked
out:
On the Goth day of October forty
members of that organization arrived
in Everett for the purpose of holding
meeting. They were taken from the
boat by Sheriff McRae and deputies,
taken to Beverly Park, and what hap
pened there has already been printed
in the Journal and several papers out
side the city; but, inasmuch as the
Everett dailies ignored the carnival of
brutality that occurred on that day,
the suppOsition is that Captain Ram
well, the true and impartial his
torian, knows nothing about it, He
knew what happened on the dock on
November 5th, for he was there. but
of this Beverly Park business" he
knows nothing. Law and order were
forgotten. In high glee, after dis
arming those who carried arms, they
were numerically beaten by Sheriff
McRae's deputies and the other "depu-
/ ties" in plain violation of law.
No history of these troublous times
is true or correct one without a
narration of what occurred at Beverly
Park on October Goth. Since Captain
Ramwell knows nothing of this, the
public would infer that neither he nor
his automobile took part in the affair.
If such treatment would not arouse
in the breast of even an abiect slave
a spirit of revenge, what would?
Can any one see anything in the
Beverly Park bloody carnival that
would be likely to lead up to what oc-
Cured at the city dock on November
5th?
Captain Ramwell then launches into
the formation of the vigilance com.
mittee to aid the constituted authors
. ties in preserving order What was
published of the proceedings of the
Commercial Club in regard to this
matter differs very materially from
Captain Ramwells true" narrative
In fact he does not mention the Com
mercial Club in the matter at all
!, Possibly the captain is trying to steal
the Commercial Clubs thunder, OF
shield its blunder
/, He also endeavors to shift the re
/, sponsibility onto the shoulders of the
county and city authorities. But ii
, won't work, Captain, the people
/, know where the turbulent condition

trying to cover anything up.

PRESIDENTS ENVOY
BACK FROM EUROPE
Says Reports of UnfavOrable At
titude Toward America Great
ly Exaggerated.

New York, March 5.-Col. E..
M. House, who sailed for Europe
on December % o a confidential
mission for President Wilson, ar
rived here to-day on the steam
ship Rotterdam from Falmouth.
AS soon as he landed from a
special coast guard cutter, which
met the Rotterdam at quaran-
tine, Col. House announced at
once he would leave for Wash
'lngton to meet the President.
He declined to comment on his
mission, reiterating that he went
to Europe to convey to some
American Ambassadors informa-
tion having to do with interna-
tional questions that could not
be supplied them by cable or
letter.
Asked if he had noticed any
marked change in the attitude
of Europe toward the United
States since his previous trip.
Col. House said:
Reports of an unfavorable
attitude toward the United
States by the people of Europe
are exaggerated. At least
heard no criticism in any of the
countries | visited. | will say
also that we should remember
that the people of the belligerent
nations are living with their
nerves on edge and we should
make allowances accordingly"
He added that everywhere he
went he was treated with every
courtesy and consideration.

GERMANS HAMMER|NC
AT Gates OF VERDlN
Germans Hammering at Gates
of Verdun.
Believed Crown Prince Has De-
termined to Capture Verdun
at All Costs in Effort to Reach
Paris.
ON OTHER BATTLE FRONTS

German Admiralty Reports the
Sinking of Two French Aux.
iliary Cruisers and British Pa
troll Boat.
The German armies are ham
mering at the gates of Verdun
with heavy artillery. but at lat
est accounts had suspended in
fantry attacks. In the last fight.
ling reported the initiative as on
the side of the French, who des-
perately drove back at the Ger.
mans in a counter attack, which
gained them ground.
The German thrusts in the
new phase of the titanic strug-
gle are being delivered with
heaviest force at present on the
salient to the northeast of the
fortress, in which lies Douau-
mont plain. Here the French
last week were driven out of
Fort Douaumont and Just now
from Douaumont village, to the
west.
In and around the village the
battle has been raging with vio-
lence and heavy losses on both
sides. Unofficial accounts state
that there has been nothing on
the western front to equal the
ferocity of the attacks delivered
by the Germans, while the
French infantry is declared to
be disputing every inch of
ground, and in their last effort
to have forced the Germans to
rest on the laurels so far won
and leave the continuation of the
battle to their artillery.
Verdun at All Costs.
Paris advices show the French
believe the German Grown
Prince has determined to cap
ture Verdun at all costs and, if
possible, to break through the
French line and open up the way
to Paris.
There has been some fighting
further south on the line in the
west, the Germans reporting the
repulse of French attack at
Lorraine, in which the French
had some initial success, but
were forced to relinquish the
ground taken. Elsewhere there
has been comparative quiet,
while from none of the other Eu-
Iropean war fronts are events of
moment reported.
The Russian occupation in
Biths, in Turkish Armenia, is
regarded in Petrograd as de-
velopment of first rate impor-
tance, opening further the way
to Bagdad for the Russian ar
mics. That goal is a long dis.
tance away yet from the Rus
iSians headed southwark toward
Mesopotamia, but the military
observers already have mapped
out the probable routes for
Grand Duke Nicholas's armies
over the 400-mile stretch to a
junction with the British on the
Tigris.
Wedge Divides Turks.
In addition, and of more i'm
mediate interest, is the bringing
out of the points that the Turks
will be greatly hampered in
bringing up re-inforcements for
their army that met defeat at
Erzerum and is retreating west
ward, while the southwark
thrust by the Russians has driv-
en- wedge between the Turkish
forces west of Lake Van, in Ar
menia, and those operating in
the east of Persia.
On the naval side of the con-
flict the German admiralty has
the sinking of two
French auxiliary cruisers and a
British patrol boat, while from

port of the sinking of the Ital-
ian steamer Giava, a 2,600-ton
