and women? Will he ignore safety
devices on machines In factories
were such are absolutely necessary
to preserve life2 Will he allow a
wealthy property owner to ignore
the law that requires fire escapes
on his building? There are many
other matters that we might men
ton that Rentschler as an inspector
must COMPEL unfair factory and
property owners to do, but will he
do ita The laws of Ohio la this
department were made to protect
life and limb and 1t Is up to George
Rentschler to see that the laws are
upheld.
Organized labor is very mitch In
terested in these laws and they will
not allow them to be ignored Or
ganized labor Is not going to ask
George Rentschler for any special
privileges, but they do ask him to
enforce the laws no matter what
manufacturers or business man Is
compelled to pay the price. The
laboring men and women are al
ways expected to respect the laws
ard they in return expect men of
wealth to do likewise.
Inspector Dance under the Willis
administration was a poor excuse
as an inspector, Siekman was tie
best inspector the state ever had in
this territory and If George
Rentschler is one half as good as
Siekman he'll be wonder. We
hope he will not shirk his duty.

TRACY IS FREED
First OF Everett Free Speech
Prisoners Acquitted.

Seattle, Wash, May 11.-Thos.
II. Tracy after trial lasting ex.
actly two months, has been ac-
quilted. 1t Is also exactly six
months since the red outrage of
Bloody Sunday en- November 5.
The fifth seems to be a significant
date In this case, and on November
9th was the trouble; on March 5th
Tracy's trial started and on Nav
5th he secured his acquittsl.
Jury DeIiberates al Hours.
The case went to the jury Friday
May 4 al 11:30 q. m. and the YER
dict was handed to the clerk of the
court al $3.50 the next morning,
May 5th. The Los Angeles sleuth
Malcolm McLaren, was rushing up
to the courtroom to hear the YER
dict when he met Tracy himself re-
turning in freedom! The famous
detective" did not look very hap
py at that moment.
Great Rejoicing Among The Workers
The victory of the first case has
caused great jubilation among the
workers of Seattle. At the Indus
trial Workers hall, at the Labor
Temple, and other gathering places
of labor, there is universal congra-
tulation.

A FEW DAYS ago the Democratic
county committee appointed a new
deputy workshop and factory in
spectCr for this district. Quite a
number of applicants were on hand
for the JOB but George Rentschler
staunch supporter of the Mason
Gray party was the lucky appli
cant. Vim. Siekman the former
deputy was one of the applicants
for the position but he failed to get
enough votes to land the job. We
are told that a number of manufac
turers, business men and merchants
united their efforts against Siekman
and this was the cause of his de-
feat. The reason that Siekman
was opposed was for no other reason
than he compelled them co live up
to the laws of Ohio which some of
them were violating every day.
This opposition was so strong that
he was side tracked and Rentschler
made the inspector
Of course one could not criticise
the Mason Gray party for ditching
Siekman, because they were com
PEELED to play politics and just could
not allow the opposition to Siekman
be On their bac'-s. They need their
support and their votes at the com
ing elections and this could not be
ignored by men who are playing
the game of politics.
But what will 1t mean to the la
boring people of this district if
Rentschler does not make them
respect the laws of Ohio Will he
allow manufacturers and business
men to do as they please about san.

her offensives have led her into

third of her losses are estimated to
have been suffered around Verdun.
Austria's Losses.
Austria is only slightly less heavy
a loser than Germany with a total OF
1,469,100. Her dead, however, only
number 523,1O0 and her wounded
355, 1000. Her captured and missing
run up to 900, owing to the
heavy losses of prisoners in the two
retreats before the Russians.
Turkey also has been a heavy
loser, having a wide sweep of front
from Gallipoli through Syria, Arabia
Mesopotamia and Armenia with Sc
rious pressure from British, Russian
and native armies. Her total is Civ
en- as 100000, with $4,000 dead,
10000 wounded, and 10000 cap
tured and missing.
Bulgaria is the smallest loser, with
the meagre total of 20,o00, largely
because the Serbian campaign was
won merely by the threat Of her en-
trance into the war. Her dead total,
1900; her wounded, 1000, and her
captured and missing, 5000.
