Many Industrial Workers Fall on Deck

Everett, Wash, Nov. 7.-Organized

right of free speech" has cost the lives
of seven men. Forty-nine other men
were shot.
Nearly 800 men and women are in
jail at Seattle, 80 miles north of here,
as result of the raid.
The number of casualties aboard
the Verona is not known. After the
shooting, in which about 1000 shots
were exchanged the Verona turned
around and started back to Seattle.
Many men were seen to fall on the
deck of the steamer and others panic
stricken jumped overheard. Some
were taken from the water, but others
disappeared and 1t is believed they
were drowned.
Citizens Ready for Invaders.
The Verona reached Everett shortly
before . o'clock. The coming of the
party Of invaders had been announced
In messages sent to Everett from
Seattle headquarters. A call to In
dustrial Workers Of the World men,
bers from all over the state had been
issued earlier in the week and the citi-
gems Of Everett at a meeting Saturday
night planned to meet the invaders
and deny them the privilege of land
ing.
When the Verona reached the city
wharf Sheriff McRae who was backed
by posse of deputy sheriffs and citi-
zens stepped forward and informed the
men on the boat 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.
Men on Ship Open Fire.
Apparently as a signal the man
dropped his hand and armed men ON
the steamer opened fire on the posse
assembled on the wharf.
The first man to fall was Sheriff
McRae, seriously injured. One man
was killed instantly and in a moment
the crowd on shore was panic-stricken.
Deputy Sheriffs on the wharf quickly
rallied their forces, however, and re-
turned the fire.
Men on the wharf and on the boat
were seen to fall and the Verona i'm
mediately backed out of the dock and
started back toward Seattle.
The trouble between the Industrial
Workers of the World and the authori-
ties at Everett has been on for sew
eral months and was the outgrowth
OF a strike of single weavers here.
After several minor outbreaks of vio-
lence during the strike Sheriff McRae
organized the citizens committee and
expelled all members of the Industrial
Workers of the World from Everett,

The evolution is natural, and 1t

based on statements of rule-makers

A passenger in the rear seat may reach
