''THE COMMONWEALTH'S"
UNBIASED VIEW OF IT

The COmmOnWealth,' a nOn-partl-
san weekly pledged to the common
good, gives a truthful story of the
recent disorders in Everett and also
sums up the deplorable events in the
following editorial:
eve give considerable space to the
Everett massacre because the subject
is one of really great and grave i'm
portance. The account also differs
somewhat from that which you have
read in the daily press. This account
makes ineligible the occurrence.
"In your reading and thinking and
discussion of this occurrence don't
forget its original cause. Had not
Everett-and when we say Everett we
mean the Commercial Club which the
people of Everett have allowed to
represent their city-denied these
men the privilege of holding meetings
on the streets and furnishing them like
slaves and dogs for demanding that
privilege, there would have been no
bloody Sunday in the little city
down Sound.
"The l. w. WIS are not violent folk.
The Everett occurrence proves that
they were not. Had they been of the
type you may think they are they
would have chosen different methods.
They went to Everett to protest, not
to kill. The manner of their coming
proves this. They knew they would
be met with official resistance. They
knew that these officials would be
armed. Had they wanted to take re-
venge for indignities suffered, upon
members of the Commercial Club or
public officials, any man could figure
out a thousand ways more effective
than the method they chose.
But the point we wish to drive
home is that for the mere granting
of a privilege which would cost the
City of Everett nothing at all, the
right of street meetings, no blood need
have been shed in Everett Sunday,
November 5. Everett can't plead in
terference with traffic. She has room
and to spare for street meetings and
all the traffic. But the Commercial
Club is opposed to the free use of
speech, just as similar organizations
are opposed to it in Seattle and other
cities They would shut any street
in the city if land show should come
along to boost the city's business,
And note the coincidence. The
Everett Commercial Club comes to
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce for
aid and advice. They are of the same
stamp. You will always find these
organizations banded together against
progressive movements. Two years
corporars guard in all the member
ship of hundreds in the Seattle Cham
Der of Commerce who We're opposed to
the liquor traffic. They all wanted
liquor retained. They went down the
line solidly against prohibition. They
went down the line against the refer
endums. They wanted the suffrage
restricted by constitutional amend
ment to those possessing assessable
property. 1t is safe to say that had
there been no Commercial Club in
Everett there would have been no
bloody Sunday. There must be mighty
weighty reasons for the curtailment
of free speech in democracy, and
Everett has failed to show such
reasons"

Hon. Wm. B. Wilson,
Secretary of Labor,
Washington, d. c.

Dear Sir and Brother
Doubtless by the time this reaches
you, you will have received com
munications upon the same subject
from numerous Central Labor Coun-
ellis in this state While it is true
that in every industrial conflict of
any moment, where deeds OF violence
are committed, there are many eXag-
gerated statements, still I deem the
situation serious enough in this city
to warrant a thorough investigation
by the Federal government. I do not
know if this can be done without act
Of Congress, but the situation is eX-
tremely critical and an investigation
should be carried on which would
guarantee that every phase of this
unfortunate controversy, which cul-
minated in loss Of human life, should
be thoroughly established As you
know, my home is in Everett, and I
have been as thoroughly conversant
with the industrial conditions leading
up to this tragedy as any labor Of
ficial. l hold no brief for the Indus
trial Workers of the World, have
fought their doctrines and tactics in
season and out of season. That does
not blind me to the fact that they
have been brutally treated in the
name of duly constituted authority
and soaded by such treatment into
retaliation. Quite probably Mr.. Black
man, who has been working in the
interests of your department in this
section, has apprised you of the main
facts as they seem to be established.
Mr.. Blackman has worked with myself
and other citizens necessarily to
bring about settlement locally of the
industrial trouble which indirectly
brought about the clash with the l.
w. W.'s and he knows pretty well the
causes that led up to this elimination.
l am writing briefly to the Presi-
dent of the United States urging that
a government investigation be under
taken 1t is my earnest wish that all
the facts be brought to light The
condition is intolerable, an intensely
bitter feeling prevails, many of the
business men are outspoken in their
determination TO drive unionsm out
/ of Everett l am working day and
might with representative citizens to
Ibring about better Industrial situa-
tion and prevent further loss of life
and property and shall continue to
give of my time TO that end.
With very best wishes, l remain,
Sincerely and Fraternally Yours,
f. p. MARSH.

A Symbol of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. AS badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded
as symbol of health. A red five
pointed star appears on each package
of Chamberlain's Tablets, and still
fulhls its ancient mission as a symbol
of health. If you are troubled with
indigestion, biliousness or constipa-
ton. get a package of these tablets
from your druggist, You will be sur
prised at the quick relief which they
afford. Obtainabls everywhere.
