NOANK SHIPYARD'S HEAD
ATTACKED BY WORkMEN
Fresh Disturbance Conferred Around
the Plumbing Shop-Two Arrests.

Fresh disturbance arose in the Pal
mer shipyard late Saturday afternoon,
the plumbing shop being the storm
centre. Supt. Frank Meader was
the hands of one of the men employ
ed there and rendered unconscious.
An effort has been made to keep
the matter as quiet as possible, but
two arrests have been made by Dep
uty Sheriff J. E. F. Brown. the men
having been put in the Groton lookup
where court will be held tomorrow.
They are Fred Pierce. the manager of
the plum bling shop, and Archie Nc
Nully. 1t is not known who struck
Captain Meader.
Officer Whipple, who was at another
part of the yard, was summoned and
shop, report says he saw. a man pre-
pairing to strike the unconscious SUI
perintendent. He fired and shot the
man through the upper part of his
arm. Both the wounded men were re-
moved to the office of the plant and
DIR. W. H. Hill and DR.. A. H. Meyers
summoned. Only a short treatment
was needed to bring Captain Meader
back to a realization of his injuries
and he was found to be in much bet
ter condition than was feared Daniel
Shavro, the man who was shot, was
taken to Lawrence hospital.
1t was expected that court would be
held Monday, but it was necessary to
postpone it until today. when all the
particulars of the affair will be
brought out.
The men had been celebrating the
coming of the New Year and were in
more or less quarrelsome mood, it
is said, and in an alteration which
was going on when Captain Meader
entered the shop. He at once took a
part, his injuries being the result.
Blame is placed largely by outsiders
on the fact that a great deal of Ii
quor is taken by the men both at
work and after hours. Different stor-
les are circulated but in them all
there is no blame attached to either
the superintendent or the officer, who
it is said. acted in defense of the cap
tain, who certainly would have been
killed had the blow alleged to have
been aimed at him not been diverted.
Teh most concerned are not talking
for the public and it is likely that the
court proceedings will bring out

Meader is able to be out.

FREE SPEECH H.

Some time, and it will be a much cooler epoch when the emotions and sentiments are more controlled by human intelligence, some one will rise to explain and suggest the ne cessity of tracing the genesis Of things as quite essential to proper understanding of them, and equally essential to a proper support ot them in society.
 Take this matter Of free speech. Technically how did it originate that men could not speak the thoughts that were in them? That in itself is an interesting question: but not more interesting than inn portant to the proper appreciation of the value of condition in so- cicty when men can express their opinions such as they are without fear of molestation or punishment.
 Of course We are a long way off such a consummation, and right to- day there are a good man persons would get mighty short snrift Il they were to say what they think.
 In point Of fact toleration of that kind is very far from us, and ii is not in evidence that it is any more common among the radicals striving for free cXpra ssion than those who are in a position to suppress them It is quite 8 suggestive fact that after a form of ideas had struggled against all kinds Of prohibi,orE aHa penal laws to find expression. when thav rose to an ascsndsney, they too reelected the same arhitary use and wont as had the tyraunies which ihoy struggled against.
 It is we say. only in the genesis of the suppression of freedom ol speech and the freedom oi the press and the freedom of as semblv observable in any country i> the true criterion of the degree oi freedom and the plane of liberty which that nation has achieved.
 Suggestive matter this, worti pondcring over.

 The lumber industry which is well represented on the Council o: Ma tional Defense is going to enjoy good times while the war is on.
