Pen PICTURES OF BIG TRIAL AT M0NTESANO


Montesano, Feb 6. Out of the
grind of ceaseless questionings re-
2arding the fitness of some man or
woman to sit as juror in the trial
of the IL men accused of murder at
Centralia on Armistiee day. Novem-
ber II, there also comes the other
Questions as to whether these men are
to have a fair aud impartial trial.
Labor throughout the world has an
eagle eye focused on the little court
room here aud wants to know the
manner of men who are to hold in
their hands the fate of these other
men who are recognized as members
of an Unpopular organization.
Also, labor is asking what manner
of man is sitting as judge in this rtial
and what Of the prosecution and the
defense attorneys.
All these things can be answered
only by being on the ground, study
ing the conditions surrounding the
trial, then weighing all the accumlat
ed ideas, sitting out the unlikely ones
and arriving at decision which may
or may not be the one that any Other
man would have reached under the
same circumstances.
Sentiment in Grays Harbor count.y
as indicated by large percentage oi
those examined for jury service, il
radically opposed to the Industrial
Workers of the World as an organiza
tion. This has been sworn to repeat
edly by these jurors under oath. 1
has been made the ground for th'
excusing of many of them from jury
service during this trial.
Nor is this prejudice extended mere
ly to the organization. Time afte
time jurors have stated under oatl
that this prejudice would preclud
any possibility of their giving the de
PENDANTS fair trial, no matter wba
the evidence might be.
There are vet on the jury men VIII
have SAID they did not approve Q
the Industrial Workers of the Worlt
and while it is fully acknowledge
this is their right. there remains I'll
fact that the membership Of the a,
cused was concerned in many of I'll
questions asked of every talesman.
So complicated have bcen the que
tions along this line that the coul
has had to ask for rereading
cuestions so that the record migl
be kept clear. Also court records wi
show what to n layman appears as
decided difference in ruling unsea

are yet other jurors who have bec
permitted to remain on the jury whc

Here it is, one of the first Soviet
postage stamps to reach America.
Among the many new stamp designs
of the new European governments, none

The distinctive feature of this de-
sign which sets it aside from the ones
we are used to seeing is the revolu-
