That is what Hanson said about the
situation. Now for what he said to
the creators of it and to Seattle.

the city government was prepared for

Had the Name of . Radical.

Hanson during his political rise had
the name of a radical-in conservative
circles, to DE sure. His slogan was that
he vas for the under dog, and most OF
the dogs whose underness appealed to
his instinct for championship were la
Dor factions with grievances. On that
account respectable organized labor
| has rightly felt that he is its under
standing friend. But disreputable radi-
calism seems to have been deceived in
him, to have overestimated his readi-
ness to couptcnance aggression.
During the strike he was accused to
his face by faction Of the older union
| element which the Reds had momen-
tarily swept of its balance OF throw
| ing down lsbor.N
! Throwing down labor my friends?
I'm the best friend Seattle union
labor ever had" he shot back, land
. I'm proving IL. I'll start you fellows

! Council has since publicly announced
| that the house cleaning is on. There
are still many soreheads. but the

J
| pretty good fellow after all. While
even the forrest Tories and the most
| Bourbonic Bournons OF Seattle may be
heard to admit that there is something
in him.
I'm a crowd of laborers," a man who
| knows him has written. "he always
seems out of place until he starts to
talk. He is not rich, but he is indie
pendent. He gave up money making
| for public career. He has been a
leader of the Northwest radical con-
structivc element for tweGty years and
has taken part in and according to
his enemies) messed up more labor
and public utility disputes than any
r, other man from his section OF the
! country.

language of the order-that all con-
veyances which the strikers had ex-
empted should have the exemption
placards removed at once.
I'VE couldn't bury our dead without
an exemption sign on the vehicle" he
remarked. such outrages are unen-
durable" And that was the morning
when the Mayors office was whelmed
with flowers and kilograms. The strike
in Tacoma formally ended February
10, and in Seattle the following day.

MAJOR Hanson did in Seattle required
no unusual intellect, no particular
genius for high craftsmanship. 1t re-
auired immediate. honest recognition

that duty. The strikers threatened to
replace the rule of law and set up die
tatorship by the mob. The Mayors
duty was TO defend the rule of law.
The law itself provided the weapons
for him to use. He used them and he
beat the mob.
There was nothing new in the stu
alton the strikers created in Seattle.
Scores and hundreds OF cities here and
abroad have had similar problems. I'm
fortunately there is something unusual
in the behavior of Mayor Hanson. 4.

sensible Mayor, and we hope the eX-
ample he has set will not be lost on
other executives"

BRITAIN WILL TAKE ACTION
AGAINST cARRANZA is
REPORT.
WILL ASK PROTECTION
ENGLAND MAY BECOME IN
VOIVED IN THE MEXICAN
SITUATION.
III Newspaper Union News Service.

Shfoh ANt"So L
Washington, Aug. 1S.-The action of
CarranZa in virtually deporting the
representative of the British govern
ment in Mexico has added a new COM
plication to the Mexican middle, the
results of which will be watched with
intense interest by all nations whose
nationals have been suffering from the
instability of government south of the
Rio Grande. England, now the world
was is over, will take up the question
of obtaining protection for British in
terests in Mexico and in so doing will
come into collision with Carranza,
whom the British government has new
er recognized.
If Great Britain should contemplate
taking forceful measures for bringing
Carranza to time, it is not doubted
that she would ask the consent of the
United States In Difference to the Mon
roe doctrine, or at least appeal to the
United States to take such steps as
would procure protection and respect
for the interests of British subjects in
Mexico.
AT the Paris peace conference both
England and France discussed the
Mexican question with President VIII
son, and the latter is said to have Civ
en- assurances of adopting a more Wig
orous policy in dealing with Carranza.
The first evidence of fulfillment of
this promise is the Presidents note of
July % threatening Carranza with a
radical change of policy unless Amer
lean lives and property are protected.
Unless the situation mends material
ly, Great Britain will not hesitate to
bring Mexico before the bar of the
league of nations with n view to hav-
ing mandatory-presumably the United
States-appointed to govern the cha
otto land.
The chief subject of discussion in
Mexico City, according to mail re-
ceived through official channels, is the
possibility of intervention by the
United States.
Mexicans do not approve the idea of
Intervention by this country but ad-
vices say the situation has become so
disorganized during the pr%otracted
revolutionary period that one Mexico
City daily paper declares so per cent
of the population look on the POSSIBLE
ity of Intervention with Indifference
while 90 per cent of the educated class
would welcome 1t.
