On the issue of Americanism Seattle made no compromise. And on tha issue Seattle will never and shall never make a compromise. When the principles of American democracy were attacked, thousands of miles away and across the ocean, Seattle came thru 100 per cent. d And in this later attack on those same principles, here at home, Seattle i ’ Just as the American part of Seattle labor stood by Seattle in the world war test, at American part of Seattle labor will come thru again: They are coming hed F Temporarily misled by a gang of criminal, un-American leaders, Seattle union labor ca _be depended upon not only to repudiate that false leadership, but to see to it that punis, ment goes with the repudiation. And on the other hand, Seattle’s American labor ca ‘depend upon it that the rest of Seattle will stand by them. 4 Those enemies of labor who think they have an opportunity now to take advantage of the decent, honora : American labor movement had better “stop before it. is too late.’’ a Seattle must be an American city. It must be made free of Bolsheviks and Bolshevism. Just so it must bh ‘made free of labor-crushing methods. | _ Seattle labor is awakening to the fact that this Bolshevik attack was not only an ‘assault upon American principles of government, but it was an attack on the very prin- ciples of American organized labor.

Under the American system, law, order and authority are recognized. The a m American method is the use of the ballot. The Bolshevik method is th : fuse of the torch. The Star stands today where it has always stood. ¢ It will fight in the future as it has always fought—uncompromisingly for | & the best interests of all the people. a It will fight any interest that seeks to undermine Americanism, and it will j fight regardless of the consequences. :
