This in order that on Monday the railway shopmen may take public sympathy with them when they go into federal eourt in Chicago to ask for the dismissal or modification of the Daugherty temporary restraining order granted last Friday. That the order, phrased {n language suggested by the ‘attorney general, flouts patience, cannot be denied. It goes far beyond the law. It applies to American citi- ‘zens the perfect flower of the former kaiser’s philosophy of government—‘verboten.” ' The doctrine is that an all-highest authority may, irre- i ive of natural or legal rights, impose its will upon DD others by simply proscribing acts or conduct as “ver- boten”—forbidden. The railroad shopmen will be fortunate if they can face the court next Monday in a spirit of respectful rebuke ‘Yather than one of contempt. By that time the public will have learned the breadth and depth of the verboten training order. It will have learned that since last iday it has been: “Verboten” for men on strike to receive back, as strike benefits, money lawfully paid into the union treasuries by them for that purpose. “Verboten” for the chosen leaders of these men to have Communication with them or to guide them in the way of peace and order. “Verboten” even to tell prospective new raflshop work- ers about their own reasons for having quit, in a body, the Tailshop job. “Verboten” for the men’s case to be given to the public thru public statements or interviews to newspapers. “Verboten,” many other things, including offenses against persons and property that were already forbidden in plain English by perfectly good American law. _ Thus far the publication of dissenting newspaper articles and editorials about the strike, the Daugherty injunction, the troublesome fact that railroad service gets worse while a winter of distress approaches, is not yet “ver- _boten,” but such an injunction would only be a little step. If the restraining order stands and {s made permanent the attorney general will have earned the order of the iron ‘¢ross even tho no German junker government exists to Harrassed by railroad executives on one side; irresponsi- ‘ble reds and fool “friends” on the other, and faced by erty’s “verboten” as they seek the way back to life, and the pursuit of happiness, the shopmen have a days of supreme tests to go thru. rd Anti-Jap Report to disregard completely the of the Anti-Japanese league.

The three-months period has now passed, and Seattle appears to be as far from a 5-cent fare as it was a year Payor Brown declares that he does not wish to reduce fares until he is sure that the general fund will be pro- tected. He is waiting for the decision of the circuit court of appeals which he hopes will hold that the city’s gen- ‘eral credit cannot be called upon to make good any deficit ‘arising from a nickel carfare. In this position, he may be wise. That {s beside the it. The faet is, Mayor Brown knew all these condi- when he was campaigning for office and when he was inaugurated just as well as he knows them now. Nevertheless, he deliberately promised the people of Seattle a 5-cent carfare within 90 days! é are easy to make, but results spring from gomething more than a fertile imagination and a ready tongue.

But Schram shook his head. “No,” he said, “I don’t think, so far as we are con- cerned, it’s any cause for congratulation, “For years the Journal has called us everything almost, onally and professionally; damned us from heck to kfast; but the panning frequently did us good, “They might say some things we thought, or knew, to be unjust. But nevertheless, down under the surface, their attacks gave us food for thought and frequently we got busy and corrected faults. _ “In my opinion, adverse or hostile newspaper criticism is nearly always a good thing for the official or individual | or corporation which gets the panning.

On February 1, 1971, after the house had finally passed the code, the sen ate returned the code to the house with several minor amendments at tached. The journal, at puge 112, says: “On motion ef Mr. Reed, the house concurred In the senate amendments to H. B.

For a lim- ited time only, we will deliver anywhere within the city limits two one-hun- dred-pound sacks of Diamond Briquets for one dollar. All we ask is that you pay the one dollar to the driver upon delivery of the Diamond Briquets. What they are Diamond Briquets are a blend of three highly popular coals. They consist of 50% Newcastle, 30% Black Diamond and 20% South Prairie. They are uniform in size, clean to handle, and are harder than most lump coals. Huge machines press these briquets into their familiar shape. A tre- mendous ssure—2,000 pounds to the square inch—is used. Consequently, only 7% binder is necessary to hold these coals in combination. Where to use In the basket fireplace Diamond Briquets givé a long, cheerful flame, unobtainable from any other kind of fuel. For range and stove they give a quick, hot fire and a steady one, and when the fire is no longer needed, they cease. Diamond Briquets are essentially a woman’s coal because of their uniform size, cleanliness and excellent heating qualities. Therefore, in the furnace, where the woman of the house often must be stoker for part of the day, Dia- mond Briquets are a universal favorite. ~ If you do not know this fuel, if you are not now using It, we cordially Invite you to accept our offer. Phone us today, just tell us where, and our driver will be out with two sacks of Diamond Briquets, Not more than two sacks delivered to one address, The regular price of Diamond Briquets in bulk ranges from $10.40 per ton to $11.70 per ton, depending upon the zone to which delivered. Packing is extra,
