MASK OFF IN GREAT EVERETT
OPEN SHOP MURDER TRIALS
SEATTLE, trail. 20.—The mask is
off in the Everett fight to convict
the workers. It has been taken up
by the “Open Shop” advocates and
the Pacific Coast M. and M. officials
are sending Attorney Veiteh of Los
Angeles and Malcolm M’Lean de
tective formerly associated with the
Burns outfit in the MacNamara
cases to aid in the prosecution. The
trusts are spending their own money
and are also bankrupting Snohomish
county. Here are sample items from
Treasurer’s books: “December 4th.
Special deputies ?2,27S. December
14th Pinkerton detectives $290. De
cember 2Sth Special Deputies
$2490.”
One of 7 members of the painters
union, aged 22, released by mistake
from Everett and lost for four
-weeks went back and demanded
trial with the rest for murder. She
riff MacRae spirited the prisoner
away from jail for the purpose
of concocting a story to convict the
others. The prisoner placed thus
escaped from the lawless officers
and came to Seattle where he told
his story and then went back to
stand trial. Superior Judge Allison
member of the Everett Commercial
Club was to try the cases and want
ed to do so, but the publicity in
voked compelled him to agree to
the governor appointing Judge
Walsh. The Industrial Worker of
this city calls the murder of the
men on the Verona the most glaring
lawlessness of the present genera
tion. Mayor Merrill of Everett who
took the prisoner Sarkoff out of
jail and put his fingers under a bed
; post while he jumped on the bed
! to force a false statement, Sheriff
MacRae and the President of the
| Commercial Club all issue state
’ ments admitting the lawlessness of
i the officials especially in compelling
! forty-one men to run the gauntlet of
three hundred deputies but saying
that such was necessary. The state
ments are otherwise a tissue of
falsehoods.
In published statement Mrs. Beard
widow of a former sheriff who acted
with the posse as deputy, says that
her husband would be alive today
had not MacRae fired the first shots.
The trial will take place in February
certainly not before. Both sides
have about two hundred witnesses
BOOTLEGGERS ARE STILL
BEFORE GRANS JURY
SEATTLE, Jan. 19.—Bootlegging
operatives are still testifying before
the federal grand jury. Reports are
all sorts in the air. It is stated
that the grand jury is expected im
mediately to return indictments
against both the mayor, chief of
police Beckingham as well as others.
Both the Mayor and the Chief of
Police affect indifference and say
that there will no doubt be an effort
made to try something against them
Especially is the Mayor in disfavor
in higher quarters owing to his
statements relative to the I. W. W.
battle in Everett and it is known
that promises have been made “to
get him”.

each. The trust must convict or
have their own gunmen charged
with murder of five workers and in
jury to two men not members of
labor organization who were on the
Verona.
The growing solidarity is evident
in defense of the men. The Amer
ican . Federation of Labor unions
especially in Seattle are fighting an
unit for the prisoners. Seattle's
largest hall is repeatedly crowded
with capacity protest meetings. To
morrow Sunday great protest meet- J
ing arranged at the Dreamland hall
upon t-he part of representative
unions. Scott Bennet of Australia
and Flynn smoker in the I. W. W.
hall netted four hundred for the de
fense. Donations today include from
Panama machinists, Nome Mine
Workers, Tom Mann, England, So
cialists of Italy, radicals of Australia
and from various sections of the
United States. The rally to enforce
the constitutional rights of the
working class is wonderful.
