NO, 274 PREPARE FOR BIG MEETING TONIGHT (EDITORIAL) Seattle is assuming that the proposed mass me — ing of labor men tonight will be an AMERICAN meeting a —that AMERICANISM of the one hundred per cent n= kind, displayed by Seattle labor during the war, will be their keynote. The Seattle police force must assume this same thing, and must govern themselves accordingly Peaceful assembly and free speech are funda- mental attributes of Americanism. eattle labor, nor anyone else, need not ask police permission to exercise ly these fundamenal rights. Seattle labor men will not be disturbed in any rs a lawful exercise of their rights, and in return for that guarantee—an American guarantee it is Seattle labor gs. men must assume the responsibility of protecting them- selves against a mere handful of lawless men, who might seek to jeopardize the mass of workers, or to discredit their cause. wag ~~ r, Prep song) <a alnaee taa police are b MAYOR'S STATEMENT 5 tonight's attended th al Labor Fourth ave. and Stewart st . meeting htt the occasion justify listen to facta presented in rela tion to the riot Sunda ) ? 5 ) ) > went { seni > ) ‘ Police Chief J.
