| They reminded one somewhat OF a day
at the Zoo.
And then this peaceful day on the
Hoboken front was rent by battle in
which the allied immigration inspectors
| were at first we'll beaten. They say that
I W. w. means II won't work." but
there was at least one guard who came
out OF the fracas convinced that they
will night with all the sincerity of up
holding great idea.
The only trouble was that the guards
were sincere also And when a sincere
| idea, upheld even by numerically weaker
numbers, In backed by nightsticks and
trained fists, the bets are all on thu
smaller party.
The IIobokops Get Busy,
The first the people on tho dock knew
Of trouble was when the faces disap-
peared from the windows and focked
| inward as to a storm centre. Then there
was n great silence and expectation on
the faces of those who watched. Finally
a door opened to the outside deck and
u guard came rushing out and whis-
pered something to Hoookop, VINO
wrapped his hand lovingly around his
waded into the cabin.
Presently one OF them came out again.
He leaned against a bulkhead and ten
derby caressed his nose. which was red
and looked as II 1t had received an APP
plcation of anarchy we'll directed. Ono
eye also began to close. and Policeman
Parks. for II was he, passed a tremulous
hand across his forehead and he leaned
aSainst the cool breeze. But pride came
to his aid. for when he was asked about
IL he snorted and said:
Fight huh, It was exciting, but as
fighters these anarchists are nothing
much"
And perhaps he was right. for an
other guard In an unyuarded moment
let slip the fact that one man. an I. w.
We, would be all right and would como
around after n time. All OF which led
to the not unfounded belief that night
sticks had been used and used thor
oughly. But SO ebullient Is the Boil
sheyik nature that before the boat had
started some of the merrier spirits
aboard again were singing and dancing
about and shouting their defiance at the
world. Twenty soldiers with automat-
les, hurTiedly summoned from nearby
piers. kept the prisoners activities con-
fined to noise.
They behaved fairly we'll on the trip
the island they were at once put in the
detention rooms with other immigrants
awaiting deportation. Deputy 1mmigra-
ton Commissioner Chl said he would
treat them as he would any other aliens
marked for deportation as undesirable.
Woman Lawyer Appear.
Soon after the prisoners arrived a wo-
mar reached the island who said she was
Caroline A. Lowe and presented a card
which indicated that she had come from
or been sent by the Chicago headquar-
ters of the I. W. W. to represent the
men of that organization In the roundup.
Commissioner Uhi told her ne would be
glad TO hear what she had to say. but
that she could not see the prisoners. as
their cases had been heard by a court
ana that he regarded them as closed.
She apparently wanted to get writs Of
habeas corpus, and went to the island
TO learn the names of the I. W. W. men
in the crowd
Mr.. Uhl said he would not know where
the men came from, or whether any Of
them came from Seattle until he had
studied their papers. but he was inclined
to think that they had not been gathered
