attack life or property. If that were
their intent they would hardly have
discussed their plans publicly, called
in a reporter for the press and given
him story of their intentions. Grim
mails rarely warn their victims that
they are about to rob and burn and
kill. These men, l tell you, were in
dustrial zealots and beatings and in
human abuse fed the fires of martyr
dom that consumed them. The Beverly
Park beating made them deadly deter
mined that, come what might, they
would establish their right to spread
their industrial gospel on the streets
of Everett, or anywhere else. | doubt
If any of them ever dreamed they
would be met with armed resistance.
The day set was Sunday, day when
men rested from their employment
and the working people with their
families were on the streets in large
numbers. They calculated to come in
force, march up the streets in broad
daylight, and figured that the sympa-
thy of the larger proportion of city's
population would prevent physical at
tack upon their forces such as they
hitherto experienced. If there was
an encounter, it would serve to still
more strongly focus the eyes of the
nation upon the struggle going on in
Everett in the name of free speech
and industrial freedom. 1t seems to
me that this was their reasoning.
That men would fall from a murder
Gus gunfire never entered into their
calculation. 1t is not surprising that
a few men were armed. l venture to
say that if you gather two hundred
and fifty men upon any occasion and
in almost any city, line them up and
search their persons, you will find
as many small firearms upon their
persons as these men had in their
possession.

FIRST AID BILLS

Senate Bill No. %, an amendment
to the Workman's Compensation Law,
introduced by Senator Have H. Phipps
is what the workers would like to
have added to the Industrial Insur-
ance act. The provisions of this bill
were set forth in the Journal of the
29th of January.
Representative Mark Reed has in
troduced a bill satisfactory to en-
ployers, but not at all what working
men want.
Labor and Labor's friends stand
firm for the Phipps bill, though it is
not likely Senate Bill No. % will pass
this session of the Legislature.

The communication above was not
in the nature of an "eXplanation" but
was written to give the Tribune an
opportunity to make reparation to or
gained labor and one of its officers
for the wrong done by the misrepre-
sentation and garbling of Marsh's re-
port. But the Tribune didn't take
the opportunity to play fair, as wit
ness the remainder of its reply to the
committee from the Federation:
The quotation in the foregoing
from the address of Mr.. Marsh which
he referred to as "a word picture of
the restless, resistless forces at work
in this community which have pro-
duced anarchy is correct.
But there are $500 words more
in the report of Mr.. Marsh and these
taken together as the Tribune weighs
them, warrant all that this newspaper
said about Mr.. Marsh's sympathetic
views Of the physically peaceful rev.
olution going on today.
However,, each reader can draw his
own deductions. The deductions Of
Nessrs. Brown, Case and Hughes are
that Mr.. Marsh only undertook to
present the facts and demand for
them (the I. W. W. their legal
rights.
Present the facts to whom? De-
mand their legal rights from whom =?
Certainly not from their friends, and
their cause is not in the hands of their
enemies.
Surely it couldn't be a demand on

have demonstrated time and again
that as prisoners they We're receiving
that fair treatment before the law
guaranteed by the state.
The Tribune will leave it to its
readers and those who read the re-
port or excerpts from it to pass on the
alibi."
The Tribune garbles Marsh's report
and then asks the public to agree with
it.
"Garble-Select out of, as book or
writing, what may serve the purpose
in a bad sense; mutilate; corrupt"
The Tribune is guilty of garbling.
Nobody is trying to prove an alibi.
Marsh's report is here and if the Tri-
51ne would give it in full to the pub
lie it would DO something no one
would expect Of it-prove itself a

upon life and property, do not know.
At any rate they determined to rid the
city of the Industrial Workers of the
World and to the astonishment of
many who believed the regular police
force amply able to quell any disorder
that might arise, the papers suddenly
appeared with a public call for citi-
zens to be deputized as deputy sheriffs
in defense of the peace of the city.
Several hundred citizens, including
men high in business and professional
life, answered the call and reported
to the Commercial Club headquarters.
They were sworn in by Sheriff Nc
Rae and armed patrols established as
darkness fell each day. Just why this
army should be modified at the Com
mercial Club when they were under
the authority of the sheriff, instead
of at the county Jail, where county
peace officers belonged, has never
been satisfactorily explained. The
county Jail was practically the same
distance from the street speaking cor
ner as was the Commercial Club
rooms. On several occasions this
special army, assisted by the uni
formed police of Che city, stormed
the street corner meetings and lugged
the participants off to jail. Clubs

GERMANY'S THANKS TO SWEDEN.

How has Germany expressed its appreciation OF Swed
ems friendly service which involved the degradation OF
Swedish embassies in Argentina and Mexico and the dis
honorng of the foreign office in Stockholm? The an
swer may be found in the Swedish governments recently
published report about the loss of large part OF the ma
tons merchant marine This report says that since the
beginning of the 81 Swedish steamships and 80 sailing
vessels have been destroyed by German submarines In
addition 35 steamships have been sung by German mines
and eight have been captured and confscated by the
Kaser's government.
With the loss of these 1874 ships should be counted the
killing of Swedish sailors by glfire they were leaving
torpedoes vessels in feboats, for sometimes the subma
rine sought to "eave trace of its foul work In the
message from Beunos Aires forwarded to Berlin through

mended such treatment for the ships of Argentina The

tested in vain against the murder of these men.
