SEATTLE-Four men, Hulet M.
Wells, Sam Sadler and the Pass
brothers, Morris and Joe, are still
held under charges Of conspiracy
to obstruct the government in
carrying on the war and maintain
ing an army.
The whole evidence against them
is circular opposing CONSUMPTION

The court has already ruled that
the circular, in so far as it APP
piled to the draft was lawful.

THE BREADLINE is GONE

NEW fORK-With almost mo.
notonous regularity we used to be
RECALLED with stories of how the
men who were patrons" at the
breadlines were no-account buns
who wouldn't work if they could
get work and who couldn't work
If they would.
That as before the war-and a
while after the war. But all is
changed now. This winter the
Bowery Mission at New York City
announced. calmly that the bread
line could be discontinued "for
lack of patronage" No more
customers, as it were.
What had become of those mis-
cradle victims of the system? ?
Why, they had gone to work
That's all And incidentally they
have given the lie to those SLAM
derers who have said that the
underdog wouldn't work if given
chance. These men are work
ing, and they are scorning public
or private charity.

NO DRAFT FOR
IRELAND THIS TIME

LONDON-The house of com.
mons voted down by a large ma.
Jority the amendment to the Man
Power bill whereby CONSUMPTION
became effective in Ireland.
Openly Sein Fem leaders and
their papers which are not sup
pressed have been emphasizing
their intention to resist conscrip-
ton to the last and the rebellion
of Easter week two years ago has
been enough to warn Great Brit
ain that although such revolt
would be suppressed, it would de-
mand the presence in Ireland of
far greater effective force than
would be gained for the time be-
ing by CONSUMPTION.

THE RUSSIAN FRONT

PETROGRAD-A Russian news
paper correspondent who visited
the German lines in the north
front found a brisk interchange
of trading now keeping troops on
both sides busy.
German and Russian soldiers
moved at will over what used to
be no mans land, doing business
on strictly cash basis. The Ger
mans had tobacco, watches, cham
payne, razors and knives and
knicknacks for sale which the
Russians bought eagerly. The
Russians were doing a heavy BUSH
ness in the sale Of soap to their
former enemies.
The correspondent added that all
Germans keep asking, "When will
there be peace? We are tired of
war"
Despite orders Of German Off
GERS the German soldiers come
over to Russian dugouts at night
and play cards with the Russians.

WORKERS REFUSE
EVERETT GOODS

SEATTLE-A little echo of the
lumber trust murder of November
5, 1916, was heard in the Chum-
stick Valley, last week when 20
wobblies struck against the Great
Northern Lumber company, out of
Leavenworth, Wash, because the
company tried to feed them "Ev-
erett Best" groceries The men
notified the company that they
had no objection to "Wenatchee
Best" but Everett Best" was
smeared with the blood of their
murdered fellow workers. The
whole camp walked out.

PACKERS BIGGER
THAN U. S. A.
Refuse To Meet With Labor Lead
ers and u. s. Com missioner

CHICAGO-If there were any,
thing further needed to prove the
absolute contempt in which J.
Ogden Armour and Louis F. Swift
and their patriotic 90 associates
in the packing industry hold the
United States Government ana the
general citizenship Of the country.
it was brought out Monday after
noon, when the packers refused to
appear before United States Ad-
ministrator j. E. Williams in Joint
conference with labor officials.
The high and mighty packers do
not want a joint conference, but
would like the administrator to
first hold conference with the
labor officials and then come to
them, but John Fitzpatrick and
Frank p. Walsh seriously object
to any such proceedings and un-
less the packers change their po-
sition Mr.. Williams will have no
alternative but to render his de-
cision on the arguments put for
ward by labor.
j. Ogden Armour is the man
who has said to the United States
Government, "You may have me,
my plant and my employees But
from his past record, it is fair
70 presume that there vas 4 meas
tai reservation, and that reserva-
ton was that the government
could have all of these things at
j. Ogden's price.
Louis F. Swift is the man who
only a few weeks ago did not
know that there were any labor
troubles in the stockyards, in spite
of the fact that he has in his
employ gunner and sluggers to
beat up any man who wears a
union button. He is also the man
who will hire only Germans.

SEATTLE POLICE
ON RAMPAGE

SEATTI.E-I.ast night the quiet
Of Seattle streets was disturbed
when again the police interfered
with the sale Of the Industrial
Worker. Newsbcys were selling
the papers when one Of them was
taken into custody for the awful
crime in the eyes Of Joe Warren,
the man who cleaned up % the
town.
A wave of solidarity started
four women sympathizcrs to take
the papers and proceed to sell
them.
These We're also promptly ar
rested by the police. Their names
are Mrs. Clark Alderton, Mrs.
Bessie Hubbard, Mrs. A, Blair
Cairns and Mrs. Edith Osborne.
This took place on Washington
street and upon the arrest of the
women, the street became filled
with volunteer newsboys from the
|. w. w. hall, who began selling
their paper. AS soon as one
newsboy was arrested another
took his place.
Police Grew Furious
This seemed to infuriate the po-
lice and general smuggling effort
was made by hem with their
sticks, men and women receiving,
with deliberate care, the clubbing
from these men who had provoked
the whole disturbance themselves.
Two men and one woman who
were passing were dubbed to the
gutter, and one man who asked
an excited policeman what was the
cause of the disturbance and the
clubbing, got a club on his head
for reply. the blow causing the
man to collapse where he stood.
Failing to find the slightest
legal pretext on which to prevent
the passage Of the INDUSTRIAL
WORKER thru the mails under
its second-elass mailing privileges,
the defenders of law and order
nave themselves become the law
breakers Whom the Gods would
destroy, they first make mad"

SEATTLE-No finer example TO
the cause Of labor viii be found
than the striking butchers, who
although having been on strike for
six weeks, have taken up energeti-
cally the proposition of meeting
the autocratic kaiser packers on
their own ground by going down
the line with two hundred dol
lars cash each and local subscrip-
tions totalling nearly $4,000 TO
organize and establish a packing
plant and retail markets to be
owned and controlled by organ

A number of the leading unions
have subscribed for the maxi
mum subscription of $500 each
and are electing some Of their
livest representatives and most
capable workers on the board of
trustees of the Cooperative Food
Products Association.
Since the taking over by the
packers of the two leading fair
markets, the Palace Meat Com
pany, there remain left only four
fair markets in Seattle, but the
striking butchers are determined
to supply the union men of Sc
