Charged with libel, Henry W.
Watts. editor and manager * the

by county prosecutors and Judge

$1,000
The arrest resulted from the pub
LEGATION on April 5 in the Northwest
Worker of the following alleged Ii
belous statement;
ave have a Prince in Everett who
runs around to the Commercial Club
every day for his orders. He is at
present running a scab lunch counter
which is also a recruiting headquar-
tiers for gunner and legahzed muir
derers."
The information explains that the
passage: "gunmen and legalized
murderers" meant American soldiers
recruiting at artillery headquarters
in the store of Henry NJ. Prince, 1911
Hewitt avenue. This inference, said
the complaint, meant that Twelfth
company artillerymen were gunner
and murderers, tending to expose
them to ridicule and hatred, publish
ed maliciously and unlawfully."
The witnesses contained in the in
formation are Capt w c. Bickford,
Lieut.. R. D. Farris, w. R. Conner,

PEOPLE STARVE, SPEC
ULATORS GROW RICH

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Fortunes are
being made in this vicinity while
the people are compelled to pay more
for the necessities of life, is the
charge made by Neal P. Olson, sec
rotary of the Southern California
Retail Grocers' Association. He de-
clares that the present high prices
here are partly due to the fact that
large quantities of eggs and vege-
tables are being held for higher
prices and are being released only in
small lots. Olson cites one Los An
geles warehouse as containing $4,000
sacks of sugar, This, he says, is be
ing held for Eastern markets. He
says the food in storage here is ap-
proximately 100000 sacks sugar.
5000 sacks coffee, 20 carloads flour,
20 carloads potatoes, $50 carloads of
onions.

HifivEfSS WIN u.s.
YEAR LONG FIGHT

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March The
rirtecn-ycar fight Of Arkansas coal
miners TO secure legislation that
would give to the State mine in
spector police power to enforce the
State mining laws, was ended here
today when Governor Brough signed
Senate bill 1913, containing such a
provision
In the councils of the "thrd house"
The fight for the passage Of the mea-
sure was considered a very Exciting
one"
Speaker Cazort, Of the house, him
self a large owner Of coal lands, but
not actively engaged in mining, was
the force upon which the largest lob
by Of operators doing duty at the
capital in recent years depended to
perform the slaughter.
The bill passed the Senate without
serious opposition as a committee bill
after several minor amendments had
been made, and from that time, two
weeks ago, the fight contained all the
excitement that one could hope for.
For several days the bill was mis-
laid when the House clerk was read
ing Senate bills. In fact, on one
seemed able to find the bill when
reading was in order but everyone
knew all about who had receipted to
the clerk and just where it was when
it was out of order.
TO get the bill in the committee
with the Speaker so uncomprisingly
opposed to this method Of procedure,
was a problem that sent the Miners
Legislative Committee and their
friends into the corridors and offices
soliciting knowledge of "ways and
means" from the apple vendor up to
the Secretary of State.
After recruiting an army Of volun-
teers, labors' friends past and pres
ent, since Arkansas has been State,
clerks, officials and finally the Gov
ernor, agreed that the bill should be
known as an administration measure,
pleading Square deal" it was
agreed that if time permitted at an
extra night session, the bill might
be read.

BOYS ARE DOING FINE

With the help of the Everett Com
mercial Club we managed to get
nights lodging in the county Jail this
week and were able to get an inside
view and opinion from the "wob-
blies" who are incarcerated in the
bastile through the Vaccinations of
my friends of the Commercial Club.
The boys are in better spirits than
one would expect after five months in
Jail. They keep things lively around
there. A monograph is brought into
use every now and again in one of
the "tanks" but after a while that
kind of music gets tiresome, so some
body starts up on a fiddle, and al
though there are no celebrated vio-
linists to handle the instrument, still
little music is obtained.
l. w. w. songs are being sung all
day long. After every meal the boys
march around the tanks in lockstep
fashion to the tune of Hold the
Fort" and many other songs.
Although the prison diet is not one
to be desired for very long the boys
manage to put the stuff away with
out getting Indigestion The big feed
that was supplied them on Easter
Sunday by the Everett Comrades was
greatly appreciated and they are look
ing forward to the next one.
Since the change in the sheriff's of
flee the boys have found life little
more bearable than under McRae's
regime. The jailers seem to treat
the boys as human beings should be
treated and but for the poor equip
ment at hand for treating the boys
that get sick every thing seems to be
o. K. Jail is no place to treat sick
people, but our prison institutions
are not built for the benefit of sick
people.
The expense to the county will
come pretty heavy, because, not only
does the taxpayers have to pay for
the attendance Of witnesses both for
the prosecution and defense in Seat
tie, but it has to pay for the feeding
and clothing Of the "a prisoners. The
boys are not worrying about the ex-
pense and why should they? If the
people of Snohomish County have not
enough sense to abolish the system
that calls for jails then, they will
have to pay the price.

FAIR TAX RENT
LAW SUCCESSFUL

SYDNEY, N. S. W.-The fair rents
act has been in force in New South
Wales for just about a year now.
When it was first brought into being
there were many who laughed at
what it proposed to do, but the laugh
is on the other side now. The court
sits regularly and there is of course
plenty of business for it to do. Dur
ing three months of recent operation
over 800 cases were dealt with, and
in most cases reduction in rents was
ordered by the court. In Sydney,
where the act is in the most complete
operation there are $4,000 rent-pa
ers, out of whom 10000 are affected
by the act OF this number over 500
have sought the aid of the court-in
most cases they being test eases of
a single house in terrace. In such
cases where a reduction was made
it applied to the whole terrace of
homes-the owners taking this course
to save the other tenants from rush
ing into the courts. So the real
benefit done cannot be exactly stat
ed, though it must be far-reaching.
The court costs but $4,000 year in
all-the tenants having the right to
have their case decided for a NOM
inal charge of "a cents only, and no
personal attendance, to ensure lost
time off work, is needed. And no
lawyers are allowed in the court,
either.

trouble. He stated that prior to the
organization of the citizen deputies
he had suggested that Commissioner
Blackman of the Federal Labor De-
partment be asked to come before
the club and be asked for advise re-
garding the trouble. Governor
Clough had objected, saying that
Blackman could not help the situa-
ton. The witness was then asked
if it were true that Governor Clough
had asked the sheriff whether he haG
courage to go through with the situa-
ton whereupon the sheriff replied

men Thereupon Governor Clough
suggested deputizing the members
of the club. Commissioner Clay also
testified that he had gone out with
other citizens to Beverly Park on
the day following the occurrence of
the trouble, and that although it
had rained the night before, he could

blood. He found blotches of blood
and of old clothing, apparently left
by those who had been assaulted.
Thorwald Siefried, a Seattle at
torney and his wife, testified that
while they were coming home from
Everett on the Interurban on October
3, the train stopped at Silver Lake
where a group of |. W. w. came
aboard and because of their being
badly wounded they attracted the at
tention of the crowd. The witnesses
testified that in every case these men
showed evidences of physical abuses.
Some were coatless and others hat
less. Some had their jaws tied up
with their own clothing, while others
had their arms and other parts of
their bodies roughly bandaged. Blood
dripped from their wounds.

PROFESSORS ARE
COMPELLED TO
LIE FOR JOB

NEW NORk.-I know scores of
university professors who teach what
they do not believe, and want to
say that the man who teaches some
thing he doesn't believe is prostitut-
ing his intellect"

direction of the Brooklyn Institute

Nearing, with Prof. willard {.
Fisher, New York University, was
on the negative side of the question,
"lIave American Universities Aca-
demic Freedom ?" Prof. Edwin II.
A, Scligman, Columbia, and Prof. r.
S Adamson, Yale, were on the af-
firmative side.
After Seligman declared no attempt
had ever been made to limit the free
dom of thought and expression Of
university professors, Nearing took
the rostrum.
"If any university professor dared
to teach what he believes, and if
what he believes is contrary to the
economic interests of the university
that employs him." declared Nearing,
che would be speedily dismissed"
Prof, Seligman jumped to his feet
and angrily said:

will have nothing to do with any man
who would arraign his colleagues as
Prof. Nearing has arraigned them.
And, Furthermore, any professor who
makes such statement has no right

HE FIRST SHALL BE LAST

100000 Russian children to America
to teach them "the principles of
democracy"
If Russia keeps on making progress
at her present gait, and America
advances crab-fashion, the children
may not find much to learn by the
time they land here.
America is proposing to adopt a

OPERATIVE
PLAN DOOMED
Duncan MD0naId and James i,
WarbasSc Work to Perfect
Federation of Consumers

Great forward strides in the Amer
lean cooperative movement are eN-
pected from the work of Duncan Nc
Donald of the United Mine Workers
James p. Warbasse, president Of the
Cooperative League Of America, has
enlisted the services of Mcdonald,
who is well-known as a Socialist and
labor leader, in bringing together the
many non-foderated miners and me-
chanics' cooperative stores and max
ing them part of The league
This step was reported ut recent
meeting of the league held at the Co
operative restaurant, 81 Second Ave.
The general work Of the league is go
ing forward with increasing vigor, in
GLIDING circular letters, Investigations,
travelling libraries and the publication
Of vast amount of literature on the
subject of consumers cooperation.
A central organization for the
establishment Of buying clubs and the
purchase and delivery of their COM
bined orders has been formed, under
the name of the Federation of Con-
sumers, Enough Of the moderate
capital required has been raised to
warrant beginning operations, and the
first buying will be done this week.
Scope is Unlimited
The scope of the Federation of
Buyers is practically unlimited, as it
is particularly we'll adapted for in
PRODUCING democratic cooperation in
to large cities and may easily devel-
OPP into a cooperative wholesale or
ganization, with its own stores. The
self education of the league members
through practical work in this new
venture will make it valuable enter
prise, the league officials believe.
The league has received reports
from Russia that cooperators there
have proposed an international CO.
operative exchange and that the pro-
Iposal is arousing much serious discus
/ sian in England. The Scottish CO.
operative Wholesale society has re-
Gently reported huge increases in
many departments of the society's
business" which totaled for the last
quarter of 1916 $14,37OOOO, an in
crease of nearly $2,600,000 over 1915.
Scheme SnrandS in Eurnna
According to the statement of the
league, consumers cooperative are
developing rapidly all over Europe,
and in Russia their growth has been
/! phenomenal. In the principal bellig-
erent countries the cooperatives have
been the chief factor in keeping
prices down.
The Cooperative League of Ameri-
ca now has a technical advisory board
of II members, all of them experts
in their fields. The board supplies CO.
operative societies with advice or
practical problems, is the first of its
kind and promises much for American
cooperation.
The Cooperative restaurant, where
the meeting was held, is one of two
restaurants owned by the Industrial
and Agricultural Cooperative associa-
ton. Organized in 1914, the associa-
ton now has 400 members and does
an annual business of 100000 by
supplying its members with meals at
80 cents. The majority of its mem
bers belong to trade unions.

FIRE AT SUPERIOR IRON

The boys of the Fire Department
had an opportunity Of testing out the
new auto fire truck last Tuesday noon
when fire in a building at the Super
ior Iron and Manufacturing Company
plant, was discovered by some of
the workmen who were eating their
MONDAY lunches in the building.
The workmen worked desperately to
put out the flames with fire extin-
guishers but it had gained to much
headway and some delay in sending
in the alarm was occasioned by the
fact that the office in which the tele-
phones are located was locked and it
was necessary for the men to hunt up
a phone in order to send in an alarm
the loss in time gave the fire an op-
portunity to get start so that when
the truck arrived it had gained con-
siderable headway. The truck de-
veloped a pressure of $50 pounds and
this stream was sufficient to keep the
fire from going to the main building
and to finally extinguish it, but the
building which was used as store
room for wooden patterns and sup
plies was gutted and the contents
nearly all destroyed; just the full ex-
tent of the loss had not been deter
mined up to the time of going to press
Building and contents were insur-
ed by the Wauseon Realty and In
vestment Company Agency.
