SEATTL E, WASKk, WEDNESDAY, MAY 238, 1918. KILL THIS BOLSHEVISM eee CAUSE The Star is, and always will be, opposed to Bolshevism, it is going to fight Bolshevik methods, | whether they are adopted by fanatics, radicals, or by Chief Warren. The Star doesn’t care a snap of the fingers for those enemies of Bolshevism who would use violence and lawless- ness themselves. It doesn’t care a con- tinental for those smug creatures who preach of “hanging parties” and lynch law inthiscountry. The Star is against anarchists of all kinds, whether they are captains of industry or plain Bolshevists. Because The Star is to Chief Warren’s p-Bolshevik . ere are a few crack-brained “patriots” who pro- fess to believe that The Star is defending that insti. tution. The Star is no more concerned with. that it is with the fact that there are certain Bol- : in the labor movement of Seattle who be- — The Star as an “enemy of labor.” Honest la- men and women in Seattle and ‘elsewhere on differently. They know The Star has t for every honest labor cause for 20 years and more. The rantings of the Bolshevik organ will not deter The Star from its fight on anarchy. It is a fight to the finish. And it is because The Star is opposed to Bolshe- viki propaganda, whether published by the Equity shop or practiced by Chief Warren, that it demands of the chief to remove his cop censors. When the Equity Printing shop vio- lates the law, there is an orderly man- ner, an American method, of bringing it and its owners to the bar of justice. There is an American way of dealing with lawbreakers—and there is a Bol- shevik way. THE STAR IS FOR THE AMERICAN METH.- OD. The Star is against—everlastingly against— every method that is un-American. phrbtie 2 of the Equity. Press, There is an American method of dealing with the Equity printing concern. Chief Warren has chosen an un-American meth- od of dealing with it—a Bolshevik method. That fact is so plain that the real Americans of Seattle, not only those real Americans in the labor movement, but the real Americans in the Chamber of Commerce and at the city ‘hall and everywhere else, should be just as determined as The Star is that this Bolshevism on the part of Chief Warren be suppressed, and suppressed immediately.
