NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 8, 1917.
'there are two sides to almost every
question. This may be denied by both
of the parties to a controversy who
naturally can 3ee each his own side
only. The tact that there is a con
troversy at all proves that there are
two sides to it. Which attitude one
should take on a public question may
bo determined by any of a number
of things. Chief among the factors
determining any man's belief are cl.oss
sympathies, expediency, and a simple
senes of Justice. Expediency which Is
based on self-interest Is probably the
most potent factor. Very often it is
a compelling rorce overcoming both a
man's sense of Justice and class
loyalty. For instance a bookkeeper
In a corporation may be convinced
that the workmen's demands for
higher wages are Just and that they
should win their strike against their
social superiors among whom the
bookkeeper is classed as a very humble
integer. But the bookkeeper may not
utter his thoughts or do anything for
those whose claims he considers Jus:,
because if he docs he will lose his job
and his family will 3oon be in pen
ury. We are all of us subject to pre
judices and economica i conditions
which often prevent our doing full
Justice in our thoughts and deeds to
the concerns of others.
Early in November a number of
Industrial Workers of the World
stui ltd from their headquarters in
Beal tie and inarched In military for
mation through the streets to the
deck where they took boat for Everett.
On arrival at the latter place they
were met by a huge party of officers
and armed citizens of that place who
had been sworn in as deputies. These
lepresentatives of the law would -ml
allow the I. W. W. members to dis
embark. When they attempted to I ind
they were shot by the officers. They
had armed in anticipation of such a
reception and promptly returned the
fire. 8lx persons were killed and
thirty or more were wounded in this
p'tched buttle. It was well known
t» the I. W. W. members that they
were not wanted in Everett as work
men in the mills or as residents be.
i_ause they openly preached *he gos
pei cf discontent to the mill employ
ers. Most of tho3e who went to Ev
i.'" cn this boat excursion had prev
tocst’' been there and hud hern de
ported. This much was v i.‘ ny bv
wire b& news *o all parts o' the
coiinlry ard inmt to us here In Nome.

r»»Trrni have wondered ivny the oeooio
jf Everett would not allow members
jf that particular organization to
day in the city and what kind of. a,
law, if any, was invoked in their de
portation. But it was probably with
aiost readers a question of little mo
ment because all of the facts were
n<H known aud because the battle
ground vu so far removed. It prob
ably did not occur to them that *Ma
Everett battle is only one of many
symptoms of the sociul unrest
throughout the United States, that It
is only one of the many tragedies
which are occuring when working
men rebel at the usurpation or dom •
in;ition not only of the resources of
the country but of the very law's which
sire supposed to have been enacted
for the protection of the weak 30 that
all may have equal rights.
The gospel of d.scontent preached by
th? I. W. W. is repugnant, the songs
of hate published and sung by this
o> ganlzation are both sacriliglous and
deptructlve, and the alms and meth
ods of these m< n seem to be against
good citizenship but they are human
beings and think they have real
grievances against society. Perhaps
they have, most things depend on the
viewpoint anyhow. And the way they
were treated at Everett is not going
to make them feel more kindly to
wards representatives of law, owners
of mills, or the social structure in
which we live.
The I. W. W. side of the affair was
stated by Mayor Gill of Seattle who
prefaced his remarks with the state
ment that probably no one in the
world disliked the organization more
than he. But, he said, they had,
grounds for grievance. It appears
that if a man in overalls appeared in
Errrett he wa3 questioned by officers
and If It turned out that he belong
ed to the I. W. \V. he was forced
to leave town forthwith. A few days
before the pitched battle on the docks,
about forty members of this organiza
tion were taken to a wood and se
verely beaten. Seventeen of them at
once went to the hospital in Seattle
t o be treated for the injuries re
ceived at that time and one of the
poor chaps had a broken arm. These
men felt, a3 American citizens, that
they had a right to go to Everett or
any other city, and they determin
ed to go back. In order to defend
themselves against another beating
they went armed. A Seattle police
man telephoned the Everett authori
ties that the mob was coming by boat
and that they were armed to defend
themselves. The result was tnat wtien
they attempted to land they met a
fusilade of bulelts.
Gill states significantly that the
Everett mlll3 control the city and
these mills are owned by the Weyer
hacusers and other big timber in
terests. Not only the city but the
county of Snohomish is controlled by
I ———
these interests, and the sheriff, of thi
county enforces the laws relative t
street speaking and other city ord
nances within the city lirtttts b*i*nr
practically the lumber barons’ dicta
tor in that section.
So it appears there are two side
to this matter. The I. W. \V. may b
an unlovely lot of men and they
doubtless would admit It with pride
They may be a source of annoyanci
to communities and they probabl
aim to be such. But how about th
other side? I3 the maheinery of thi
law to be in the hands of the mono:
interests and for their protection sole
ly? If so, Americans are already
slaves. Are the timber interests i>
Everett going to own the sheriffs
constables, judges and policemen
How would it be If the steel trur
administered the laws in Pennsylvnr,
in and other states where its plant
are?
Only a few years ago Seattle shoo
itself loose from the clutch of th
railroads as personated by Judg
Hanfoid, and yet a public meeting 1
Seattle business men condemned Ii j
Gill for not preventing the I. \V. V
members from leaving the city a
an "armed military body," and thi.
tacitly supported the way things art
run in Everett. It seems that thi
poor fellows might have been arresi
ed on a charge of “unlawful as3em
blage.” And why weren’t they? Fo
that matter, anybody may be ar
rested on any charge providing those
running the machinery of the law
are so inclined. And what do the.
want to do with those Industria,
Workers any' way? Do they want
to deprive them of their right to
move about, to seek a Job, to Join an
organization? Do they want to make
them think and act In every way
just as the mill owners of Everett,
or somewhere else. wi3h? Or do they
desire to make outlaws and criminals
of them? If the latter .the best way
do do it is to keep on persecuting
them, throwing them in jail, and
shooting them down. Their numbers
and the power of their protest can be
tncerased in no way ns fast as this.
Every "martyr” give3 more strength
to the cause. On the other hand, fair
treatment, a chance to work, an op
portunity to air their views In street
meetings and most of all a lack of
notoriety will cause a considerable
lessening in harmful revolutionary
propaganda.
