LABOR I'D clean HOUSE
Getting Right

After long absence the voice of Americansm
was heard in the Labor Temple last night.
1t was not particularly strong and usty voice,
but it was nevertheless refreshing.
In the same hall where a week ago Bolsheviks
and revolutionsts amuck, B. II. Nauman last
night drew the line between American labor men
and the m-American
"The Bolshevixs, the l. w. w. and the revolution
lists will longer be tolerated this floor he de-
clared. 'lf you want to change your form of gov
ernment the way to do it is with the ballot Our
stitution provides the regular means whereby this
can be DONE"
week ago had MIR. Nauman uttered those
words he would have been hailed among
men, not only by 80 per cent of Seattles labor men,
but by all the rest of Seattle. ---s- ~
Seattle's American labor men have been waiting
for some leader to speak out just as Mr. Naurnan
spoke out last night All Seattle has been waiting
for that, too.
These words were applauded in the same hall
and by the same men where week ago last night
the Bolshevik crowd barely failed in putting thru
resolution declaring for the confiscation of property
in Seattle.
The change is significant. 1t indicates that Seat
tie labor does not propose to have itself discredted
and defeated by the loud-mouthed radical minority.
1t indicates that labor will clean house. that it
will reaffirm it's Amercanism and that it will for
ever outlaw the Bosheviks, the l. w. W., the revolu-
tionists and the un-American.
And that is what Seattle is waiting for now
