PERSECUTION
OF PRISONERS

From an article in the Northwest
Worker the following statement con-
cerning the treatment Of the l. w. w.
prisoners in the county Jail is clipped:
"The men in Jail in Everett are be-
ing constantly subjected to petty per-
secution. They have all been photo
graphed and finger-printed by officials
of the State Board of Prisons, al
though yet unconvicted! This was
made the excuse for not letting At
torney Moore into the jail on Friday,
the oath. He was not allowed to see
his own clients! Prosecutor Webb
tried to get Moore into the Jail, but
Sheriff McRae was implacable.
"This same sheriff also refused to
allow any dainties to be sent into the
Jail for the boys on THANKSGIVING
Friends of the men and local sympa-
thizers had planned to send them a
Thanksgiving dinner. But, out Of
sheer malice and gratuitOus brutality,
the sheriff forbade the food being
given the men. This has but added to
the growing sentiment in Everett
against the sheriff and the prosecu-
ton. The daily pres; of Everett is
completely under the sway of the lum-
ber interests. it seems. For instance,
the Everett Herald of November 20
says that Attorney Fred Moore tasted
the prison food and praised it highly.
This article actually states that Moore
said that the prisoners were given
as good food and as much of it as
they could wish When Moore saw
this interview in the paper he was
astounded. The story was a deliberate
piece of misrepresentation. Disclaim-
ers have been sent to the Everett
papers, but have not been printed"
1t seems that in this enlightened
day we know not at what moment
some official, public servant"
elected by the people, may revert to
condition of savagery. These pris-
oners, guilty or not guilty, are help
less now Let the public think the
rest.

By HARRISON GEORGE

Eight billion dollar combine of
CAPITAL to fight organized LABOR.
Such is the weight Of the oppressive
forces headed by the U. S. Steel Cor.
poration. To realize what such op-
preston means to the American peo-
pie we shall examine a district where
Steel Trust control is absolute, /. e..
the Mesaba Range
The writer has before shown "How
the Steel Trust Got It." This deals
with how the trust keeps it. We shall
summarize its local control Of social
and political forces. The part it plays
nationally is well known.
Look first at the federal judge of
this district, Page Morris. Judge
Morris has denounced from the
bench the range town councils, who
wanted the Steel Trust to pay proper
taxes. The judge owns steel stock.
How he got it has not been explained.
Next, Bruce Mcdonald, immigration
inspector at Duluth, in recommending
deportation Of George Anderytchine.

cause he is smart, having acquired a
remarkable English vocabulary in less
than three years"

BumQuist. He it was who sent the
now famous telegram to the sheriff,
ordering the arrest of strike leaders
and the taking of them before magfs-
trate, preferably at Duluth" where
Burnquist was apparently sure of the
judge. Burnquist it was who gave
sanction to the importation of an
army of thugs to oyer-awe the
strikers.
Next is Sheriff Meining of st. Louis
County, who deputized this private
army Of the Trust and gave it full
power to deny constitutional rights of
speech and assembly. These so-caIled
guards left company grounds to at
tack strikers on the streets and in
their homes. This crew arrested over
six hundred people. District Attorney
Greene is the one who saw that the
victims escaped no penalty he and his
subordinates could fix upon them with
the aid of gunman testimony.
Municipal Judge Carey during the
strike gained the sobriquet Of "OId
Ninety Days'-his usual sentence to
strikers, The mayors of the range
towns are the one bright spot. Head

EVANGELIST SUNDAY
HELPS THE SALOONS

While there are a large number of
people always after forbidden fruit,
there is a larger number after the
juice of forbidden fruit. The follow
ing story from the Boston Mass
Post illustrates the point:
More liquor was sold in Philadelphia
during and directly after the Billy
Sunday campaign than at any other
time in the history of the city, ac-
cording to the Rev. Oscar B. Halves,
who preached recently at the Newton
Center Unitarian church. Mr. Halves
was pastor of the Germantown Uni
tartan church, Philadelphia, during
the Sunday revivals in that city. He
was installed pastor of the Newton
Center church at the evening service
"Vice increased during Sundays
stay in Philadelphia said Mr.
Hawes. "The saloon-keepers were re
joicing at the increased sales and M
additional force of police were needed
to uphold the law"
He assailed Sundays methods o.
preaching. He said; His sermons tc
men only and to women only wer,
such as to bring the blush of shame tc
decent people and to bring thought
to many who otherwise would no
have harbored them"

FAVOR STATE PRINTING
OF ALL TEXT BOOKS

Since the cooperation of agricultu-
raj and labor organizations has ac-
complished much good in the State of
Washington, it seems desirable that
they get closer together to the end
that they may better understand their
mutual interests. Here's a chance to
cooperate.
The Skagit and Snohomish County
Pomona oranges, favoring the uni
formity of school text books, have
adopted resolutions suggesting that
all text books be printed by the state
in the interest of economy and the
retention of the money spent for them
within the state.
We reprint the resolutions adopted
by the Snohomish County Pomona
Grange, which met at Arlington week
before last, from the Snohomish Ad-
vance:
Whereas, Industrial betterment, in
the last analysis, means industrial eff
ficiency and the elimination of indus
trial waste, and
Whereas, According to gathered
statistics, two concerns alone supply
S4 per cent of all the American text
books, controlling the scheme of edu-
cation of our children, exacting ex-
cessive profits and having a history
of graft and corruption, and
Whereas, Uniformity of text books
throughout the state would be of mu-
tual benefit to instructors and
students and state printing of text
books would add an industry to the
state and keep our money at home,
and
Whereas, Free distribution of text
books to the children of the state is
in full accord with the democratic
spirit that gave rise to and dominates
our schools, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, Pomona assem-
bled, November 21st, 1916, endorse the
Skagit County Pomona resolution and
the action of the state grange in the
matter of uniformity of text books,
the state printing and free distribu-
ton of same
Resolved, That a copy of this reso-
luton be sent to Governor Lister and
that same be brought before the 1917
session of the legislature.

WHO PUT THE "DIN"
IN DINNER PAIL

The fun-making part of the program
at the annual banquet of the Gridiron
Club in Washington City on the 9th
were travesties on the presidential
election, and the funniest of them to
Puget Saunders was the appearance
OF Senator James Hamilton Lewis in
a vaudeville booking office, when
among long series of verses the
Dude" recited the following:
Who guides unruly senate bucks,
And keeps the party on its trucks
Who is, in short, the whip de luxe?
Jim Ham.
Who followed Hughes upon the trail,
And tied tin can to his tail;
And put the "din" in dinner pail?
Jim Ham.
Who is the White House blushing pet
The truly, only, one best bet,
OF the democratic smartest set?
Jim Ham.

Despite the fact that the jury panel
consists largely of Duluth business
men, Mr.. Hilton appears optimistic as
to the outcome Hilton reiterates his
former statement as to the importance
of this trial breaking down the Chi
cago Haymarket decision, which he
says all eminent lawyers acknowledge
as infamous and a disgrace to the
jurisdiction that gave it birth. An
appeal on an adverse verdict will per
NIT chance to shatter this out
rageous precedent forever, while an
acQuittal at trial will be a magnificent
step toward making The Haymarket
decision a dead letter.

O, n. Hilton of Denver famous labor
attorney, goes before Judge Fesler
with a motion to quash the indict-

The only evidence connecting the
organizers to the alleged crime is the

whereby the Big Meadows are to be reclaimed by impounding the
waters of the Humboldt river. There are about 10000 acres of land
composing the Big Meadows, and if reservoirs and bitches are
built to develop this large acreage and save the water in times of
flood, to use in short seasons, each year, every acre of it could be
made to raise splendid crops of wheat, barley, sugar beets, potatoes
Or hops, o r about ten tons of good hay per acre.
