WOULD WRECK UNION
Plot Exposed by Head Of
Seamen's Organization

San Francisco.-H. A. Fritz, alias
Fisher, who recently attempted to be
elected assistant secretary OF the Sail
ors' Union of the Pacific, was expos
ed by President Furuseth, of the In
ternational Seamen's Union as an ex-
convict, a renegade dishonciably dis
charged from the United States navy
and a tool Of influences that would
destroy the union.
At a meeting Of the unieE, at which
the accused was present, Furuseth
supported his charges with photo
Of Fritz in convict garb, with a rec
ord of his court martial by the navy
and proof that he was admitted to the
union by fraud
Furuseth showed shat Fritz was
court martialed by the navy in 1914,
and sentenced to five years in a Cali
fcrnia penitentiary for forgery and
scandalous conduct In June, 1915,
/ nis unexpired term vas remitted by
the secretary Of the navy and he was
discharged from the secvice In Sep
temher, the following yeac, Fritz join
ed tho SanFranciscc brench of the
Seamen's Union through the presenta-
tion IF a book from an Australian
union. The name n the book was
Fisher. The book was dated July !
1876, only two weeks following Fritz's
release from the penitantiarg This
alone would convict Fritz as it was
physical ;mpossibihty for him to get
across the Pacific in tnat time
When Furuseth presented this evi-
de3ce to the union he pointed to the

Perhaps that's the reason Perhaps not If he's the

But will some one please tell us why the politicians
who are managing Lippys campaign allow Higday
to announce his flip-flop with brass band accom-

This editorial is not political one. II is merely

why the politicians should think it's good thing TO
advertise the support of man who had been ready to
make campaign against their own candidate only Few
days before.
If Higday could think OF running AGAINST Lippy how
do the politicians figure is good campaigning for him
say that Lppy 100 per perfect? Is il not pos

sincerity under such circumstaneesG Might they think
that Hgday may know something against Lppy that has
been carefully hushed up with kind of political sop
Wouldn't have better-from Lppys standpont-to
have Hgday mum?
Really. it is battling bit of business-this trying to
understand why politicians win do certain things
And there is Frederick L. Sexas who besides being ad

active in politics, To- these Sexas came out
nobody who knows of Seixas would dream that he would
be for anybody else IL is to his interest TO have Lppy
elected And naturally he only too glad to support him
But why oh why did he refer to himself a repre-

former soldier?

by Theodore Roosevelt Post of Veterans of Foreign
Wars that he only in the Home Guard for couple of
months stationed in Seattle and not conflicting with his
daily business affairs and that when it appeared that the
Home Guard might be indicted into the federal army
Seixas resigned.
Why should Seixas under those circumstances pose as

position TO ADVERTISE themselves former soldiers
