BRITISH NAVY'S
BALTIC VISIT
Anglers RUSSIA
Trade Union Women in
Called Protest
tspeeIaI 70 rhe paIIy Worksrl

especial TO Ihe Dally Worker)
LONDON, June TO- Considerable
Indignation is reported to be felt thru
out Soviet Russia by the announce
ment Of the British government that
British wsrships are going to man
euver In the Baltic some time late In
June.
Dispatches from the Soviet Union
state that martial law may be de-
clared in the Kronstadt district as
soon as the British warships appear
in Baltic waters. There seems to be
no reason for the maneuvers except
the arrogant desire of Britain to make
a demonstration of her sea power.
Far from intimidating the workers
republic, however, indications are
that the threat only angers the Rus
sian masses, who see in it a hostile
gesture at their Soviet power.
A delegation of British women
trades unionists, headed by Miss Mary
Quaile, adding their voice to the Boil
sheviki protest, sent the following
telegram to the Central Committee Of
Soviet Russian Trade Unions, request
ing that it be published in the Soviet
press
I'VE, members Of the women's
trades union delegation now sojourn-
ing in Soviet Russia, declare the ex-
pected appearance of British fleet
in Baltic ports has created great an
xiety among the masses. We consider
such anxiety will founded, but believe
British trade unionists are awake and
understand the importance Of such a
visit to the Soviet Union"

definite relationship between funding
oil European debts to the United States
and the reduction Of domestic taxa
ton were seen at the capitol today.
Such a policy on the part Of repub-

with view to bringing the business
elements Of the country solidly
behind the administration In its de-
mands for adjustment Of the foreign
debts and to make it possible for more
drastic action to be taken to compel
payment.
The shutting of of private credit in
this country to European countries
who will not make any move to fund
their debts is still being suggested
in quarters close to the administra-
ton, despite the fact that no hand
was raised to stop the loan Of $50, O00,-

The Thompson Affidavit.
The joint affidavit of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson follows:
Andrew Thompson and his wife,
Lucretia Thompson, being first duly
sworn, upon their oath say:
1--WE are residents of Parkland's
Addition to Centralia, Washington,
and have lived in Lewis county for
more than 80 years.
Some time in June, 1919, we at
tended a celebration held in Tenino,
Washington, to welcome the local SOL
diers who had just returned from the
war in Europe. Exercises were held
on that day in public park in Tent
no, and the principal address was
made by Judge John H. Wilson Of
Olympia.
I'm that address Judge Wilson as
sailed certain people whom he charsc-
terized as radicals and enemies of the
government, declared that those who
waved the red flag in America were
dangerous to the welfare of the ma
ton, and he expressed enmity for the
I. w. w. He voiced his opinion that
it was up to the returned soldiers to
get rid Of the radicals.
I'm making this affidavit we wish it
understood that neither of us is a
member of the Industrial Workers of
the World, and that both of US are
opposed to-the policies OF that organi-
cation. Our purpose in making this
statement is simply to help in bring
ing to light all the facts about the
conditions under which the defend
ants in the Centralia Armistice Day
case were tried"
Jurors Terrorixed.
Wilson later presided at the trial
of the labor defenders of the hall
and after violently prejudiced con-
duct of the case sentenced eight of
them to rs to 40 years, tho the jury
had returned verdict of second de-
gree murder. A majority Of the jur-
ors have since sworn that they were
intimidated by the atmosphere in
which the trial was held, including
soldiers armed and in uniform.
Duffy Affidavit.
Another sworn statement made by
Thomas Duffy, also resident Of Gen.
tralia shows in some detail the cir
cumstances which led up to the at
rocious murder of Wesley Everest,
the lumber worker who was wounded
and thrown in jail, and late at night
taken out and tortured, mutilated and
murdered in the most CHASTITY way
by Centralia business men. Duffy's
affidavit points out c. d. Cunningham
and F. B. Hubbard, local business
men, as those who from what he saw
happen, were those who led the MUIR
der gang under cover Of night.
