EVERETT CASE WILL
SOON Be ENDED

SSEATTLE, Wash, May 3.-The end
is now in sight of the case of Thomas
H. Tracy, the workingman charged
with murder by the Lumber Trust of
the Northwest. The result of his case
will soon be known to the workers of
America and the world; and from
that result may be judged the prob
able fate of the other 70 workingmen
awaiting trial on similar charge.
The effects of Everetts Bloody Sum-
day have been far sweeping. This
case and the Mooney trial in San
Francisco have both served to awaken
the workers to the ruthlessness with
which the masters will try to crush
organization and >stifle free speech.
Last Saturday the stand was taken
by Joseph Schofield, who was a wit
ness for "the defense. Schofield was
working in shingle-mill in Everett
at the time of the tragedy and was
practically forced by his employers
into joining the so-called citizen dep
uties. On the night Of Oct. 80, when
the deputies were rounding up some
workingmen who had come to Ever
EFT to hold a meeting, in the darkness
Schofield was mistaken for one Of the
free speech advocates and was badly
beaten up by his own associates. He
received from "Governor'' Clough.
prominent mill-owner and open shop
supporter of Everett, SIS to compen-
safe him for his injuries. He stated
that Sheriff McRae and the deputy
who assailed him were both drunk
that night.

How to Lower the
High Cost Of Living

To the Editor of The Labor World:
Some people make an awful fuss
about the high cost of living but as
rule they do not get at the reasons
and do not care about trying to rem
edy such conditions. It is delicate
proposition just now when the war is
on, and it needs some careful study to
know how to remedy it.
War conditions such as we have
now certainly have the good effect Of
making people sit up and think. It
shows that the middle men in bust
ness, and the manufacturer as we'll,
have the power Of boosting prices up
to great height.
Something will have to be done
sooner or later to change such condi-
tons.
The coal business, for example. is
an illustration of the way business is
being done. Coal barons are always
boosting the price Of coal; when they
advance the price of coal it auto
matically advances the value. of their
coal mines and in order to show a
good investment they keep raising the
price Of coal.
Other enterprises figure on a high
percentage of income on their invest
ments. oftentimes a large part of
which is watered stock. Stores and
business places in the center of city
must pay an enormous amount of
money for, rent for the location, and
they are bound to keep prices as high
as possible in order to do business.
The more profit they can make the
more valuable the location becomes.
They are actually robbed to satisfy
the investors.
The best way to remedy such condi-
lions, 1t seems to me, is to get the |
very best men to run our city govern
ment, and state and national govern
ment. The next thing is to put the |
single tax in operation, followed by !
and government ownership
Of public utilities. Yours truly.
JOHN GOODWIN.

HEATED DEBATE At
TRADES ASSEMBLY
RESOLUTION Calling for Prohibition
During Period of War
Is Tabled,

One Of the most heated debates
that ever took place on the floor of
the Federated Trades Assembly was
staged last Friday evening, when a
resolution was presented calling upon
the national government to prohibit
the manufacture anG sale of intoxi-
eating liquors during the period Of the
war.
The resolution was introduced by
Delegates Thompson and Andrews Of
the Jitney Drivers union; Dworschak
of the Typographical; Stevens Of the
derson Of the Painters union.
The discussion lasted more than an
hour and the resolution was finally
tabled by a small majority.
The text Of the proposed resolution
follows:
