SEATTLE, Jan. 20.-The mask is off in the Everett fight to convict the workers. It has been taken up by the "Open Shop" advocates and the Pacific Coast M. and M. officials are sending Attorney Veitch of Los Angeles and Malcolm M'Lean de- tective formerly associated with the Burns outfit in the MacNamara cases to aid in the prosecution. The trusts are spending their own money and are also bankrupting Snohomish county. Here are sample items from Treasurer books: "December 4th. Special deputies $2,27S. December 14th Pinkerton detectives $390, De- cember 18th Special Deputies $249O."
 One of members of the painters union, aged 22, released by mistake from Everett and lost for four weeks went back and demanded trial with the rest for murder. She riff MacRae spirited the prisoner away from jail for the purpose of concocting a story to convict the others. The prisoner placed thus escaped from the lawless officers and came to Seattle where he told his story and then went back to stand trial Superior Judge Allison

Mayor Merrill of Everett who took the prisoner Sarkoff out of jail and put his fingers under bed post while he jumped on the bed to force a false statement, Sheriff MacRae and the President of the Commercial Club all issue state ments admitting the lawlessness of the officials especially in compelling forty-one men to run the gauntlet of three hundred deputies but saying that such was necessary. The state ments are otherwise a tissue of falsehoods.
 In published statement Mrs. Beard widow of a former sheriff who acted with the posse as deputy, says that her husband would be alive today had not MacRae fired the first shots. The trial will take place in February certainly not before. Both sides have about two hundred witnesses
