SEATTLf;, Nov. 13. Deputy United
States Marshals today seized the of
fice of the Seattle Union Record, a
daily newspaper owned by the Seattle
central labor council, and arrested
E. B. Ault, the editor, and C. P. List
man and Frank S. Rust, prominent
labor men, on the paper's board of
directors.
Tonight federal officers, after tak
ing papers and records from the Rec
ord office, allowed the paper to re
Hume publication.
United States District Attorney R.
C. Saunders said the seizure was made
as a move in a campaign to wipe out
radicalism in the Pacific northwest.
The complaint charged th-j three con
doned Tuesday's Industrial Workers
of the World attack at Centralia upon
former American soldiers.
Criminal I.tbrl Charged.
The three men were released on
5000 bail apiece. Ault was rearrested
Immediately and charged with crim
inal libel. The libel complaint said
his editorials defamed the four dead
Centralia men. He was released on
$1000 bail on the second charge.
The officers, when they entered the
Record office, found Ault in his shirt
sleeves, at work. They served the
warrant and asked Ault to close the
shop and send his employes away.
"All right," he said. "You came to
put us out of business?"
Presses in the basement stopped and
linotype machines shut down. A
press telegraph wire was allowed to
continue to operate, but one of the
Record's staff was stopped when he
attempted to file on the wire a bul
letin telling of the seizure.
Printing Plant Seized.
Miss Anna Louise Strong, special
writer on the Record, was forbidden
to carry away a sheet of paper she
declared was her personal property.
Ault declared he alone was responsi
ble for the editorials.
The Record, which employs about
60 people, is owned by a stock com
pany. The Seattle Central Labor coun
cil owns most of the stock. The paper,
long a weekly, entered the daily field
over a year ago.
Officers today seized the Equity
Printing company's plant, which
prints an alleged radical paper known
as the International Weekly. A war
rant was issued for the arrest of W.
C. Smith, the editor, but early tonight
be was not arrested.
The Record, editorially, yesterday
eaid the rioting at Centralia was the
"result of a long series of illegal"
acts by the dead former soldiers
themselves.
Deputy United States marshals,
after they took possession of the
Record plant, ordered employes of the
paper to unload a truckload of copies
of the mail edition, which was just
about to leave the office.
Order la Obeyed.
"The United States, government is
taking charge here," Deputy Marshal
E. R. Tobey told Ault as he entered
the office to serve the warrants. "We
have search warrants and you will
clear the office, editorial rooms and
press rooms of all employes as quickly
as possible. The plant is now in the
lands of the government, and the gov
ernment is now the editor of the
Record."
Ault read the warrant and immedi
ately began carrying out the orcers
of the deputy marshal. He turned to
bis employes and said:
"The government has jvst closed
our paper. Tou will all leave the
olfice as soon as you can get ready."
During Seattle's general strike last
February it was charged by city of
ficials that the Equity plant printed
most of the alleged inflammatory
posters and handbills distributed
about the city. Ole Hanson, then
mayor, closed the plant for a time.
SPOKANE. Wash., Nov. 13. Eighty
nine alleged members of the In
dustrial Workers of the World were
arrested in a police raid shortly be
fore noon today in a hall here said
to have been an I. W. W. meeting
place. Police officers said aliens
among the prisoners probably would
be turned over to federal authorities
for deportation and that others would
be charged with criminal syndicalism.
Fifty-six of those taken into custody
are held in jail on open charges. All
carried L W. W. cards, admitted mem
bership or bore literature distributed
by the reds. Among them was Sam
. Crane, forme' attorney, regarded as
one of the radical leaders in eastern
W ashington and northern Idaho, who
ate tonight had been unable to fur-
ish $1500 bonds.
I. W. W. literature, said by the po
lice to have been distributed from the
place said to have been run by the
l-'innish Social club, had been removed

Seattle Federal Attorney Directed
to Start Criminal Proceedings
Against Violators;
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 13. Prefac
ing his issuance of instructions for
the seizure of the Union Record at
Seattle today, Robert C. Saunders of
Seattle, United States attorney for
western' Washington, here in con
nection with I. W. W. arrests, di
vulged the attitude of the govern
ment toward the I. W. W. and the
radical element of the nortnwest:
"The government is in deadly earn
est now. This must be understood
by every one. I have taken the mat
ter up with the authorities at Wash
ington and my superiors are back of
me. That is all that is necedsary.
This is shown by the telegram re
ceived from Attorney - General A.
Mitchell Palmer, who say's:
" 'With reference to telegram this
date as to file publication in Seattle,
Union Record. If publication vio
lates any provision of amended es
pionage act institute criminal prose
cution.' "I think the Union Record from
the statements contained in its issue
of Wednesday night and for months
past is open to prosecution. This is
just the beginning.
"People last night and this morn
ing have been calling me up and
wanting to know what we are going
to do about the Union Record and
publications of like nature. We'l,
we are going by every legal means to
have a cleaning out of such publica
tions. There is no room for them
in this country. In this work I know
that we have the unqualified support
of every patriotic American in this
country. As I said, the government
is In deadly earnest and thi-s will
be shown before long to tho'ie who
would tear down our government."
Federal Investigators today were
engaged in going over the various
I. W. W. publications. On utterances
these contain complaints will be
based against the members of the
order, it was announced.

CENTRALIA. Wash.. Nov. 13. (By
the Associated Press.) Officials here
tonight were endeavoring to clear up
and check their findings regarding
the activities of each of the two score
Industrial Workers of the World ar
rested here after members of thelf
organization fired upon former Amer
ican soldiers marching in an Armis-
! tice day parade here Tuesday. The
death li3t of former soldiers remained
at four tonight.
The federal, state, county and city
officials -here investigating the case
were assisted in their work today,
when one of the prisoners, Britt
Smith, said to be secretary of the
Centralia I. W. W. local, turned
state's evidence and pointed out, for
Prosecuting Attorney Herman Allen,
four men. whom he said were in the
room from which some of the shots
were fired Tuasday.
Four Pointed Out.
All four of them carried guns just
before the parade. Smith said, and he
"guessed they did some shooting."
Smith told Allen that he himself was
not armed and fired no shots.
Smith' was taken from his cell In
the city jail ihere to the county Jail
at Chehalis today to identify the men.
He did bo, Allen said, without at
tempting to force any clemency prom
ises from the officers. At first it was
reported Smith said he would talk If
ofticers would promise that he re
ceived no more than a life- sentence.
The four named by Smith were Mike
Sheehan, James Mclnerney, Roy Beck
er and a man Faulkner. Smith also
identified the man who was lynched
Tuesday night as Wesley Everett, I.
W W. Organizer, who was also in
the room where the shots were fired.
Charges of first-degree murder are
to be filed against the men against
whom the authorities have direct evi
dence, it was announced today.
Charges of conspiracy probably will
be filed against the other prisoners.
Four Industrial Workers of the
World were taken from jail here to
day long enough to bury Everett,
when local undertakers declared flat
ly that they would not touch the
body.
Grave I. Unmarked.
The body was taken from the jail
floor and placed in a plain wooden
box, which was loaded into a moving
van. Accompanied by a squad of 17
armed national guardsmen, the four
went, to the pauper section of the
local cemetery with the body, dug a

ered it up.
There were no prayers and no serv

SAFETY
Students Drag Speaker From Plat
form. Beat Him and Parade
Two Miles In Streets.
LONDON, Nov. 13. William E.
Johnson, an American prohibition
worker, and Anti-Saloon league or
ganizer, familiarly known here and
elsewhere as "Pussyfoot," was
dragged from a platform from which
he was speaking today, severely
beaten and' paraded on a plank
through two miles of crowded west
end streets.
His assailants for . the most part
were medical students and against
them at times he put up a strenuous
fight, receiving a badly damaged eye
and other injuries, so that finally,
owing to his weakened physical con
dition, he was obliged to submit to
the indignity.
The occasion of the attack was a
meeting in Essex hall at which a de
bate had been arranged under the
auspices of the Overseas club and
Patriotic league between Mr. Johnson-
and R. Mitchell Banks, a lawyer,
on "The How and the Why of Ameri
can Prohibition."
The chairman of the meeting was
F. A. McKenzie. He, too. was seized
by the crowd, but was soon released.
The meeting had no sooner opened
than there was an uproar, due to the
activities of a few young men, who
Immediately engaged in heckling,
both prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
pleading for order.
Outside, a great crowd of students
had gathered and after Mr. Johnson
began to spealc hundreds of them
broke down the Iron gates of the en
trance to the hall, brushed aside the
police, charged down the aisles and
seized Johnson and McKenzie. These
two they pelted with bags of flour.
They hoisted them into a wagon and
proceeded to King's college, nearby,
where both were invited to state their
case for prohibition to the students,
but were not allowed to proceed be
cause of the howls.
As the procession passed through
the streets with banners adorned
with black cats. pictures of beer
steins and other decorations, there
were frequent cries of "We've got
pussyfoot," but Londoners, accustomed
to students' marches recently, did not
really believe that it was Johnson
and the march did not cause much ex
citement. Some of the prohibition campaign
ers, mostly Americans, declared to the
Associated Press that they did not
believe the police mae'e a sincer
ffortto break ' up the crowds -and
contended that they could have
rescued Mr. Johnson much sooner if
they had desired.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. Coal
miners and operators from the na
tion's bituminous fields will enter into
negotiations here tomorrow for a
new wage agreement with the ques
tion ot the time of termination of the
Washington wage agreement of 1918
apparently as the chief stumbling
block.
Both miners and operators were
hopeful as to the outcome and ex
pressed the belief that the question
of when the Washington agreement
terminated could be disposed of
through mutual agreement along with
the demands of the miners for a
60 per cent increase in pay and
shorter hours.
Announcement by the executive
committee of the operators of the
central, competitive field, in a formal
statement tonight, that the Washing
ti n agreement is one of the matters
"to be determined by the conference,"
was taken generally to mean that the
operators do not intend to stand pat
on their contention that present con
tracts remain in effect during the
"period of the war." or until March
31, 1920, in case a satisfactory settle
ment is made with the miners on that
and other points.
"Trap" Drclarrd SlKktrd.
The statement disclosed that the
message from Thomas T. Brewster,
president of the coal operators' asso
ciation, in the central competitive
fields, inviting the miners to a con
ference to "negotiate a contract to
be in force upon the termination of
the contract now In effect," was an
attempt to "entrap the miners into a
trcit acknowledgment" of the bind
ing force of the contracts, and pointed
out that the text of the agreement
was almost identical with that of

Shipping: Board Craft Answers
Wireless Call; 140 Women and
Children Anion; Passengers.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 13. (Spe
cial.) Trapped in the wreck of the
British steamship t'azilka. ashore on
the rocky coast of Nicobar island.
India, 611 men, women and children
were rescued from imminent peril
without the loss of a single life, by
Captain Omar J. Humphrey, master
of the shipping board steamship West
Modus of Seattle.
First news of the wreck of the Fa
zllka and the rescue of all aboard,
including 140 women and children,
was received by wireless and cable
from the orient this morning:.
Bound from Penang to Madras, the
Fazllka crashed a.shore. impaling her
bottom on the jagped rocks that
fringe Nicobar island. Bay of Bengal,
late In October.
Realizing his vessel was doomed
and that every hour increased the
danger of the great number of men,
women and children aboard, the mas
ter of the Fazilka immediately cent
out the wireless call of distress.
The message was picked up by the
West Modus, steaming from the Sue
canal for Singapore, and Captain
Humphrey, diverting the course of
his vessel, speeded to the rescue. De
tails of the plan followed by Captain
Humphrey in saving the hundreds of
passengers have not been received,
but the removal of such a number
from a wrecked ship would rank un
der almost any circumstances as one
of the notable feats of the sea. The
Fasilka is a total loss.
Captain Humphrey carried the
wreck victims to Penan g, where he
landed them last Thursday amid the
commendations of shipping circles.
The Fazilka was owned by the Brit
ish India Steam Navigation Co., Ltd.,
which operated her in the India pas
senger service. She was a steel ves
sel of 4152 gross tons, 366 feet long,

Senate Limits Application
of Article 10.
DEMOCRATS LOSE HARD FIGHT
Reservation Is Regarded by
Wilson as Pact Death Blow.
CLOTURE VOTE AT HAND
Clamping Down Further Debate lo
De Decided Tomorrow; Repub
lican Petition Accepted.
WASHIXGTOX, Nov. 13. Squarely
joining1 the issue with rvesident Wll-
: son, the senate adopted today a reser
vation qualifying- the obligations of
the United States under article 10
of the league of nations covenant.
A solid republican lineup, rein
forced by four democratic votes, put
the reservation across exactly as it
came from the foreign relations com
'mittee and in virtually the language
which the president declared on hiir
western tour would cut the heart out
of the covenant and mean the re
jection of the treaty. The vote by
which the reservation won was 4S
to 33.
The fight for reservations having
thus been carried to a climax, the
republicans presented for future
action a cloture proposal designed
to bring final action on the question
of ratification within a week. A less
sweeping measure, proposing limita
tion on the reservation debate only,
had been put in by the democrats
earlier in the day but rejected when
the republicans voted to sustain a
point of order 'against it.
Cloture Vote Saturday.
A vote on the Question of clamping
down a cloture on debate will come
Saturday morning, and the republican
leaders say It will depend entirely
on the democrats whether the move
rallies the necessary two-thirds to
make cloture effective. The demo
cratic leaders were not ready tonight
to say how they would vote, being
fearful that agreement to so sweep
ing a pragramme might imperil
their chances to obtain action on a
ratification resolution of their own.
The article 10 reservation as
adopted by the senate follows:
"The United States assumes no obli
gations to preserve the territorial in
tegrity or political Independence of
any other country or to interfere with
controversies between nations
whether members of the league or
not under the provisions of article
10, or to employ the military or
naval forces of the United States
under any article of the treaty for
any purpose, unless in any particular
case the congress, which under the
constitution has the sole power to
declare war or authorise the employ
ment of the military or naval forces
of the United States, shall by act or
joint resolution so provide."
Laoguaef Little Changed.
In only two particulars does this
language diMer from the proposed
reservation which the president de
clared at Cheyenne, Vyo he would
be obliged to regard as a rejection.
j As read by Mr. Wilson, the phrase,
l "under the provisions of article 10,
j occurred at a different place, and the
, final word, "provide," was changed tu
j "declare."

j ervation follows:
