men from Chehahs, Wash, whose ::.st
names were given as Friscus and
Watt.
As the column swung around the
corner of Tower avenue and second
avenue the band struck up patrio!ic
march. Then bullets came into the
ranks from an unsecn enemy. Men
fell to the pavement and tiny rivulct:
of blood showed the spectators wat
had taken place, the crack of the rifl2s
of the assassins having been drowned
by the blare of the band.
Tiny puffs of smoke from the roof
of nearby building indicated whence
the bullets had come and the near
ness of the I. ". W. hall led to ne
Gu:ck decision that the heroes who
had weathered the sanguinary battle
fields of Europe had been slain from
ambush by radicals who opposed
the American system of Govern
ment.
The marching soldiers did not linger
to wait the order to fall out, but with
seeming intention rushed into the
nearby structure and sought their way
to the roofs. The slTipers had disap-
peared, but the service men sought
highways and byways for all suspici-
ouS persons and then sent out p:o-
neers into the timbered country
around the city.
Wives. daughters and sweethearts
of the paraders. after a momentary
pause from the sudden terror of the
situation, rushed to ne aid of the
fallen. =:
That the firing was intended for
soldiers was shown by the fact that al
the killed and injured were in ths
military section of the parade, which
wss made up partly of residents of
Chehalis. :;

these were lifted. the exhileration OF
the new sunshine intoxicated Us.
In fact, we were so intoxicated that
we did not notice that the new sun
shine was simply a rift in the clouds,
that the shadows were not dispelled,
but frightening. that IL was simply q
change OF emphasis and a change Of
subjects that would give US concern.
The victory sxhileration soon gave
way to the thoughtful consideration
Of the newer problems that were be-
fore US. The sunshine Of hope sOno
gave way TO thoughtfuluess and
thoughtfulness brought realization
OF the lengthening shadows that were
upon MS.
It is neither my intention nor my
desire 10 90 into details about these
lengtheinng shadows I have neither
the time. nor Is this the occasion for
such q study. but I do wish to call
your attention 10 some OF the shadows
that hover over US on this New Year
day and ask your prayerful considers
ton OF them as they affect you, 50
that you may help guide our nation
during the coming year between the
Scylla Of autocratic central authority
and the carybdis Of minority domin-
ion. out into the safe harbor OF rep
reseutative government and the rule
Of majority.
Time to End Conflict.
Most OF the men who Ease me today
are employers OF labor and ner-
chants. As employers OF labor il is
time 10 realize that no business can
be conducted without labor and while
capital is essential, il cannot breed
. interest and increase. unless labor
helps produce that interest and in
crease. The time is at hand when the
conflict between labor ana capital
must cease. II nothing else can be
accomplished, a temporary truce,
guaranteeing the rights Of both sides,
must be declared, while we seize the
opportunity for an impartial study Of
conditions IN the light OF the newer
And this impartial study must be
conducted neither by labor nor By
capital. but by the general populace
opened up. The solutions OF the past
avail little The demands Of the today
or the tomorrow must be met BY the
greater light Of the now Let II never
be said OF Jewish employers that they
Cypress their employees and are afraid
TO meet the newer conditions
And as merchants we are directly
or indirectly held responsible for
what the masses have designated the
high cost Of living. The ultimate con-
sumer blames the one for whom he
has made his purchase. We may prove
TO our own satisfaction that the blame
lies elsewhere, that we are simply the
scapegoats Of powers higher up and
we may Try 10 prove IL 10 others But
all our proof is useless and all our
declarations are vain unless we have
striven honestly to continue our mer-
camille career on a sound business
basis and not on a basis Of getting
all that the traffic viii bear. If we
seek to east the burden of the laborer,
rather than make his condition less
bearable, then we will help in dis
solving the shadows that are about US.
Shadow Of Race Riots.
And lastly, We have the shadow OF
race riots. 1t is difficult to speak
