To starve the strikers into submission would be altogether too long, too humane a process to suit the woolen mill owners, a0 they evolved the plan which the militia officers and police Officials are carrying out. IS TO PREVENT THE STRIKERS THEIR BABIES AND LITTLE CHIL- é FROM LAWRENCE TO PLACES THEY CAN BE PROPERLY CARED FOR, TLE THE E cE ONES STARVE U? ‘AT ANY OLD TERM MAY DEIGN TO OFFER : , But when, carrying out these orders, militia and. police charged down upon hundreds of defenseless women and chil- Saturday, THEY PLAYED RIGHT INTO THE THe HANDS OF THE STRIKERS. dubbed and children were trampled upon and frightened into hysterics, a long, bright flame of protest sprang up from one end of the nation to the other. of thousands of citizens in every walk of life telegraphed pro- tests to the governor of Massachusetts and the authorities at Lawrence. Messages of support and sympathy poured in at strike headquarters. It was announced at Washiagton that a congressional investigation would be started at once. : The pendulum, forced to the extreme in one direction, swung swiftly back in the other. This brutal prevention of the strikers’ plan to send their children away from the scene of ‘war and starvation WAS THE BEST THING THE MILL WNERS COULD HAVE DONE TO HELP THE USE OF THEIR BROWBEATEN EMPLOYES. A nation of people, aroused and sympathetic at last, now stands ready to come to the relief of not only the few thou- sands of suffering men and women and children at Lawrence, but of their brothers and sisters throughout the manufactur- ing districts of the New England states. And the people of this nation are telling each other that ‘they will not allow “Rig Business” much longer to paraphrase the words of Jesus Christ in this manner: : “Suffer, little children, from starvation, lack of clothing and warmth, that your fathers and mothers, your brothers and fisters may be forced to go back to work for a miserable pit- tance, and that we may fatten on the profits of their exploita- . Equality That’s Lopsided Have you thought how much more efficiently humble vio- fators of the law are prosecuted than rich ones? Apply this @aywhere in our nation and see if it does not hold true. News dispatches tell us that a dictograph has been attached to the desk of the president of the Structural Iron Workers Union for months and that two stenographers have taken down efi that was said in that office. Have you ever heard of dicto- @raphs being placed in the offices of Armour or Swift, heads @f the beef trust, or in the offices of any other of the big enemies of society? Of course not. Government has been, and &, generally, in the hands of officials selected by big business. Do you recollect what U. S. Senator Kenyon said about Lorimer district attorneys? Kenyon had been special govern- 1 inspector in the beef trust and other trust prosecutions— Maybe you think the president appoints U. S.| If the senators of his party can agree upon a division of the offices, they in faet he found friends of the accused instead of loyal government ators. ‘ict attorneys. He does in name. select the appointees. From Illinois, for instance, Senators Lorimer and Cullom select the government officials. You see why big business spends so much money to elect its representa- tives as U. S. senators. , Then, too, big business extorts excessive prices from all of ts and sets apart a big sum for secret service and protection.

And we producers and consumers furnish all’ the money to elect Lori- mers, hire Burnses, employ spies and to lure judges and other Officials from the path of duty. Oh, yes, this is a land of equality before the law! THE CITY PLAN To the Readers of the Seattle Star: Through the courtesy of the editor of The Star, the Municipal Teague ot Seattle has been granted the privilege of placing before the Public the reasons why the league believes the public should vote for the city plan to be submitted at the general election, March 5th. The fol lowing is the third of a series of brief statements which will appear un. der the authority of the Municipal league: PROPOSITION NO. 2 ON OFFICIAL BALLOT—CITY PLAN AND INDUSTRIES In Statement No. 2 we pointed out that the business prosperity and the workingman’s prosperity in a city depended largely on having ade- quate traffic facilities. We showed that industries went to the city where business could be done the cheapest We would today point out that manufactories, wholesale and retai) houses come to the city which €an provide cheap sites and low rents. The following quotation from the port commissioners is in point: “As a result of the extraordinary growth which Seattle experienced a few years ago, prices were forced to a point which practically pro- hibits industrial establishments from locating on the more eligible sites . * Company located {ts prineipal terminal in Tacoma, not because it did not Fegard Seattle a» a better place, but because it had to pay $40,000 an acre here, as against $1,500 in Tacoma. As a result of this decision, the commerce of the port of Tacoma, which in 1908 was only forty-six ((46) per cent that of Seattle, is now ninety-two (92) per cent, with the certainty that it will outstrip Seattle in another year if the present rate of change continues. “Just recently the Berlin Machine Works, the largest concern in the World for the manufacture of sawmill and other timber-working machin ery, located its western branch in Portland, after an exhaustive study of Conditions in Seattle and an apparent desire to locate here.” One of the functions of our city plan is to take the growth of the eity out of the hands of real estate speculators, who have held its tepid in the throes of a land monopoly, and place it in the hands of people. Mr. Bogue, the engineer who prepared the plan, has given special consideration to this question, and a considerable portion of the plan is devoted to this problem of industrial sites and Seattle's future industrial MUNICIPAL LEAGUE OF SEATTLE.

It may not come in your day or mine, but some day a big power company will see that chance and build a dam there.” Jones didn't know, and Hebb was only beginning to realize that Dame Nature had already laid out a site up there-—and without any 80-foot eam, Kxtending almost straight up from the river at the foot of the vones place, the land rises in two big steps, 250 feet to a step.
