men from Everett must be avenged,
and called for 2000 volunteers to go to
Everett to establish the "right of free

"The fight must be won." said the
paper, "as the whole future of the In

JJ. M. Clough. ex-governor of Minne

Everett Citizens' Committee, organized
to preserve order in Everett, issued the
following statement tonight concerning
the causes leading up to today's battle:
"The Industrial Workers of the
w oria tixea on the troubles caused by
the shingle weavers' strike, which was
called May 1, as a good time to obtain
a foothold in Everett. The limited force
of the police and sheriff was unable
successfully to stop the threatened in
vasion, and 500 citizens were deputized
as peace officers. Street speaking was
stopped by ordinance on principal busi
ness corners of the city.
"For months the attempt of the In
dustrial Workers of the World to gain
a foothold has been continued. Several
gangs came from Seattle by boat, and
these have been met and driven back,
as have bands of from 20 to 40 that
came in on trains. Last Monday night
41, coming by boat from Seattle, were
met. by the committee and sent back.
Industrial Workers of the World offi
cials in Seattle issued a general ap
peal for determined members of the
organization to gather and force en
trance into Everett. The result of
this call was today's visit."

Sheriff McRae shouted at the crowd.
By this time as many as could
crowded into the bow of the boat, on
the cabin or promenade deck. The
crowd was not 20 feet distant. Sheriff
ivicnae s remarks were addressed to
the crowd: not to me. I was at the
wheel in the pilothouse. His remarks
were laughed and shouted at.
Sheriff McRae made a movement
that threw back the bottom of his coat.
A holster was revealed and his hand
was placed or was about to be placed
on the handle when a shot was fired
from the boat. As quick as a wink
there was a fusillade on both sides.
Bullets whizzed on all sides of me.
I dropped to the floor of the pilothouse
and crawled through the door into my
cabin. I snatched the mattress from

but return to Seattle.."
The number of dead among the In
dustrial Workers of the World was in
creased to five late tonight when Felix
Baron. 22 years old, a laborer, died at
the -City Hospital. He had been shot
through the abdomen.
Theodore Laurer, James Bates and
A. L. Emerson, members of the party
aboard the boat, asserted that Sheriff
McRae fired the first shot, and that
company and one company of militia immediately the posse opened fire on
m Seattle, are ordered by General
Thompson to be held in readiness for
any emergency. The streets were
crowded tonight and there is much
feeling over today's shooting, but
there have - been no disturbances of
any kind. '
Sheriff Donald McRae, who is suffer
ing from two gunshot wounds in the
left leg. asserted that the first shot
was fired by a, man standing before
the mast in front of the pilot house.
The sheriff said that when the Ve
rona was about to tfe up at the wharf
he stepped forward and said: "My
friends, you had better turn back, as
you will not be permitted to speak on
the main street of this city."
"The h we won't," the man on
the boat is alleged to have replied, and
then, drawing his pistol, began firing
at the sheriff and those nearest to him.

said that the men on both vessels were
heavily armed when the steamers left
Seattle. The officers said that it
seemed as if every man aboard hart n

after the shooting. When the steamers
arrived at Seattle, the police searched
each man carefully and also made a
thorough search of the steamers, but
no weapons were found.
Including the wounded, there are 294
men and three women under arrest
here. Forty-one men were taken from
a second steamer, which failed to reach
Everett. The women in Jail are Mrs.
Hubbard Mahler. Miss Edith Frenette
and Mrs. H.-Feters. They were taken
from a motor bus which had conveyed
them from the northern boundary of
Seattle, where they had disembarked
from an Everett Interurban car. It is
alleged by the Seattle police that Miss
Frenette tried to throw red pepper into
the eyes of Sheriff McRae while he was
being conveyed to a hospital in
Everett.

Sews From Argentina Continues to
Be Factor on Bull Side at Chi
cago, Crop Losses Influen
cing Europe's Supply.
CHICAGO. Nov. . (Special.) The
grain trade is recovering from its hys
teria and has quieted down materially
last week. The highest prices since
1S8S were made last Monday, when De
cember sold at I1.92H and May at
$1.88 a. At the same time dark turkey
hard wheat sold for about 2.01 '4, in
the cash market.
A material change came over the
grain trade later in the week, with a
break of more than 11 cents in Decem
ber and 7 cents in May. The market
reached a stage where all but a few of
the original bulls who bought wheat
last Summer have taken their profits,
and where the need of increased out
side and foreign buying is necessary
to keep prices on the upgrade.
. Bull. Market Breaks Record.
A bull market has been on for the
longest period the grain trade of recen
years has known. It has surpassed
that In 1914-1910, with an advance I
December wheat from $1.07 5i to
$1.92.
The market failed to show the
breadth and advancing tendency in the
closing days of the week that have
been so marked of late, and weakness
followed every bulge. It is now re
garded as a two-sided market, in
which the bulls have to fight to main
tain an advantage, as they encounte
more opposition from short sellers. De
cember longs have less wheat than
week ago.
tiport business last week aggre
gated 7.000,000 bushels wheat and
flour, mostly at declining cash preml
urns.
Bull News Not Effective.
Bull news, however, did hot have th
effect as in the past, and when
struck the market on the bulges it fell
flat, but on breaks it had considerabl
effect, making sharp fluctuations. Re
moval of hedges against export sale
more than offset the new ones that ar
put on. With steadily decreasing re
ceipts, as compared with last year, the
new hedging is not extensive.
Argentine news continues a factor
on the bull side, but it is less effective,
although crop estimates have been
lowered. Heavy crop losses in Argen
tina are a material factor in regard to
Europe s future supplies. Australia
and India are offering moderately,
American shipments, however, are run
ning materially under last year's.
Exports Below Last Year's.
United States shipped 59. 000.000 bush
els wheat and flour up to November 1
compared with 82.000.000 bushels las
year. There are indications of larger
clearances ror the next two months.
those who are bullish see prospects
of a decline in the visible supply In
the near future. It is their belief that
the British government is afraid an
embargo will be placed on exports
from the United States later in the
season, and is getting all the wheat
possible beforehand. Great Britain re
quires all vessels to take one-third of
their cargo of wheat from American
ports, as tonnage is scarce.
Canadian wheat is coming into Min
neapolis at a moderate rate and is
relatively cheaper than the domestic
wnn iu cents auty paid. .
Cash corn prices were on the down
grade .most of last week, especially at
tne ciose. inere are declining -cash
premiums in all markets, owing to
increased offerings of new corn.
