RABID OUTBURSTS
OF SEATTLE REDS
' LACK IN RESPECT
: Noisy Demonstrations at Soiind
Metropolis by Radicals Are
Regarded With Little Favor.
EASTERN WRITER PUZZLED
True American Element Goes Wild
Oyer Wilson as if to Nullify
Unfriendliness of Bolsheviks.
Hy Pavld Lawrence
En Route With President Wilson to
Portland. Sept. 15. Out of the tur
moil and noisy demonstration with
which 'Seattle greeted the president
of the United States, few Americans
can derive confident satisfaction.
Mr. Wilson's speech about the
League of Nations was incidental,
indeed relatively unimportant. What
was vital and disturbing to the East
ern observer was the atmosphere of
unrest, ef mob psychology and mob
inclination which made the whole
presidential party nervous through
out the 38 hours of their stay in
Seattle.
Police lines were none too good and
an unmanageable mob of several thou
sand kept up a bombardment of noise
and hand ', pounding against the doors
of the auditorium where the president
was trying to speak. Several hundred
marines from the Pacific fleet, which the
president had reviewed earlier in the
day, stood on guard on the docks with
fixed ammunition and they stayed there
all Saturday night In readiness for
trouble.
RADICALS ANTAGONISTIC
Why? Did the mob want to express
- its dissatisfaction with the League of
Nations or peace treaty? Not a bit of
it. They didn't care about anything so
remote as reign policy. They were
part apd parcel of the labor movement
here, which contains leaders whose pur
poses and desires constitute the most
tangible evidence of Bolshevism which
the United States has yet witnessed.
From the moment the president en
tered Seattle after a remarkably en-
thuslastic demonstration at Tacoma, an
hour away, the unfriendly, almost an
tagonistic attitude of labor toward Mr.
Wilson was conspicuously apparent.
f Simple white badges on which was
printed In big black letters, "Release po
litical prisoners," caught the eyes of all
of. us as the presidential procession
, passed through thoroughfares more
crowded and congested, more noisy and
turbulent than anything I have ever
seen with the possible exception of the
fanatical demonstration which the peo
yUo of Milan, Italy,, gave Mr. Wilson
last January.
MANY TRt'E AMERICANS
The I. W. W, and a great many
labor men who are not affiliated with
the I. W. W wore those badges and
kept silent as the pageant went by a
silent protest against the imprisonment
f men like Eugene, Debs, and Hulet
, Wells, who were convicted under the
espionage act of attempting to obstruct
our success in the late war.
And as If the true Americans wanted
to show Mr. Wilson that Seattle is
loyal, that it Is a population not dif
ferent from the populations of other
American cities, the demonstration of
enthusiasm for Mr. Wilson, the symbol
of authority, was by far the most re
markable tribute he has ever gotten in
this country. Confirmation of this was
to be found In the way the audience
at the auditorium leaped "to its feet
and shouted with almost frenzied en
thusiasm as the president, after describ
ing the pitiful condition of the Russian
people and the terrible rule of the mi
. nority of Bolshevist autocrats, spoke
with dramatic emphasis this sentence:
"My fellow citizens, I am going to
devote every influence I have and all
the authority I have from this time on
to see to it that no minority commands
the United States."
MEETI2TQ PEACEFUL
Outside the hall we could hear the
crowd yelling in loud chorus, "We want
' Wilson, we want Wilson," but on in-
vestlgation I found that the crowd
wasn't merely trying to get in to hear
the president, but was trying to get an
opportunity to heckle him about the
"political prisoners." Three hundred of
these laJww people had been, promised
seats in the arena and they alt came
wearing those badges aforementioned,
and while a few were admitted, somehow
or other the police couldn't find room for
the great majority f the others and the
meeting inside consequently was peace
, ful.

prevent the I. W. W. from getting com
plete control and that, it is feared,
would soon mean direct action and Bol
shevism. But it cannot be said that all the men
In the American Federation of Labor
out here are Conservatives. Perhaps it
is the contagion of radicalism or the
desire to prevent their own authority
and position from being uprooted by
agitating radicals, but the men who
went to see President Wilson at his ho
tel on Sunday talked as some of the
radicals might have talked.
They presented arguments concerning
the release of what they termed political
prisoners, and their persistence along
lines which the radicals have agitated
gave an impression not wholly different
from their more aggressive brethren.
But the hope and confidence of Seattle
seems to be dependent upon the wisdom
of such men, for the present any way,
because they are for law and order as
differentiated from the direct actlonlsts.,
XABOB GEOUP INF1TJE JTTIAL
But Seattle is not like Eastern cities.
Labor conditions are entirely different.
The labor group is .much more audible
and influential. For instance, they pub
lish a daily newspaper which circulates
among hundreds of thousands of work
ers In this section. On the front page
of the Seattle Union Record, labor's
organ, there was printed in flaming
letters, on Mr. Wilson's arrival, a series
Of questions full of innuendo and de
manding the immediate repeal of the
espionage law, the release of Tom
Mooney and other "political prisoners.':
the withdrawal of American forces from
Russia, an explanation of the refusal
of passports to Americans wishing to
visit Russia, support of the Plumb plan
and, finally, this query: "Why do you
not fire Burleson?"
GRIEVANCE AGAINST BTTBLESO
There follows a long editorial condemn
ing the postmaster general for dismiss
ing employes from the postal service
for activity In organising unions, and
a long discussion supposedly of griev
ances of American labor and causes
of social unrest in the Pacific North
west, but, curiously enough, not a little
space is given to the Russian situa
tion with a plain undercurrent of sym
pathy with the Russian Bolshevists.
The people of Seattle have been over
run with, propaganda about the Rus
sian question and responsible people
here tell me they have beep at a loss
to know how to fight it because of the
uncertainty of the American govern
ment's position. President Wilson's
plain speaking on his Western trip, his
denunciation of the rule of the 34 Bol
Bheviki commissioners in Petrograd and
Moscow therefore has had an affirma
tive effect here.
WILSOS'S ADYJCNCES IGNORED
It has stimulated those who are try
ing to squelch Bolshevism in the United
States and given them the impression
that they will have the full force of the
reaerai government behind them If ne
cessary.
The president in his speech at Helena
talked about radicalism and said plainly
that agitation which had for its object
the curing of existing wrong by political
means should not be molested, but
should be encouraged. Some of the
newspaper men traveling with the presi
dent thought this was a plain stimulus
to the lawless elements, who would use
the president's words as an excuse for
their campaign of agitation. Inquiry in
Seattle reveals that what one might
have supposed would be food for the
radicals or at least good headlines for
the labor papers here was carefully
buried and ignored.
KEEP LABOR DISTRUSTFUL
The president's overtures, so to sneak.
were concealed from the readers for fear
they might renew their confidence in the
president, for it is labor's policy to keep
me rann and file distrustful of the
president and cynical of his promises.
wor are they ror this same reason mit
ting much emphasis on the capital and
labor conference soon to be held In
Washington. The I. W. W. and large
Doaies or otner laboring msn are apa-
tneuo about that conference. A typical
question addressed to President Wilson
which reveals the attitude of the main
labor paper in Seattle, for instance is
this: Why do you not occasionally
suggest to employers that they pay the
wages or grant the conditions demanded
by labor pending the calling of an indus
trial conference. Instead of continually
asKing lanor to make the sacrifices?'
RADICALS BLAME PRESIDENT
The average Easterner would probably
argue mat rresioent Wilson had been
very friendly to labor throughout his
administration and it is because of that
fact that he is so often criticised "by
conservatives Jn both the Democratic and
Republican parties. But out here the
editorials and speeches of the labor
group mane Mr, Wilson out to be a tory
of the most tyrannical stripe, suppress
ing tree speech, torturing" political
prisoners, offending the workers" of Rus
sia, and participating in an alleged mis
carriage or justice with respect to
numerous labor martyrs-
This, then, is the atmosphere in which
president-Wilson found himself at Seat
tle aa atmosphere of class friction with
an aparenension or disorder and anarchy
tnat icnot imaginary but real. -
Perhaps It was the turbulence of the
mob friendly though It proved to be
which threw Mr. Wilson off his steady
poise, for his speech in Seattle was dis
connected and devoid of any new argu
ment. It was at Tacoma that the presi
dent made his best speech. He made
his audience gasp as he recited the
fearful cost In men and money of the
late war and a spontaneous outburst of
approval greeted his reading of the
final paragraph of his famous war mes
sage of April, 1917. It was a passage
printed on Liberty loan posters every
where throughout the war and Mr. Wil
son's point is that when he made his ad
dress to congress. Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike, applauded and Issued state
ments afterwards declaring that the
president had' truly spoken the wish of
the American people.
TACOMA IN 8TMPATHT
So the president repeated the phrases
in which he had pledged America to fight
for the liberty of small nations and the
establishment of a concord of powers
to preserve the peace of the world,
namely a partnership of nations. The
Tacoma audience and the crowds gave
Mr. Wilson evidence upon evidence of
their sympathy and approval. ..but it
would be difficult for anyone to' an
alyze whether the riotous clamor In Se
attle was a demonstration for the
League of Nations or a demonstration
of the social unrest which Mr. Wilson
has been arguing would spread through
out the whole United States If the peace
treaty is not soon disposed of and gov
ernments ana peoples given a Bettled
basis on which to calculate their social
and economic future.

Event Not Programmed, Staged
by Park Rose School

A bright little feature of the presi
dent's entertainment this morning, not
on the regular program, was staged at
Parkrose, on the highway, just, beyond
the city limits, where the presidential
car pulled up long enough for the wom
en of the district to present Mrs. Wilson
with a huge bouquet, and for the school
children to give their yell, ' Welcome,
Wilson," and to get a "close-up" of the
chief executive.
A banner of greeting had been
stretched over the roadway, and the
honor flag, awarded the Parkrose school
by The Oregon Journal for the school's
splendid record in the sale of war sav
ings stamps'durlng the war, floated aloft
and added color to the scene.
Little Jean Grubbs presented the flow

of the school, and who did much to

TALI
Imprisonment of Leaders Under
Espionage Act Protested at
Special Meeting.
By Jay Jerome Williams
Seattle, Sept. 1 5. One result of
President. Wilson's speeches on radi
calism came to pass Sunday, when
three representatives of labor in this
city . and the state of Washington
sought and were granted an ap
pointment with him. They wanted
to see him, they said, to talk over
the "existing state of social unrest.''
The president was closeted with the
men for an hour and toward the end
of the conference Admiral Rodman,
the commander of the new Pacific
fleett and a distinguished array of
other, naval officers, waited for their
appointment with the nation's chiet
executive.
The spokesman of the labor trio was
L. W. Buck, acting president of the
tate Federation of Labor, and with him
were c li. uotiren, secretary oi in
Triple alliance, an organisation of rail
way men, workers and farmers, and pat
terned on the lines of the Non-Rartlsan
league, and James A. Duncan, secretary
of the state labor council. All three
men are identified with tlte more radical
labor element on the coast, and Duncan
Is said to, have been one of the figures
in the general strike here last spring.
MOONEY CASE IS CITED
They told the president that labor
wanted a fair representation at the
forthcoming Industrial conference in
Washington next month.
In reply the president told them It
was all right to have grievances, but
he wanted to know what their remedy
was for them. Their response was
largely a repetition of the statement
that labor should have a fair representa
tion at the industrial conferences
The Mooney case was mentioned, but
only in the lght of a labor man Im
prisoned after an unfair trial, and they
called the president's attention to the
cases of four radicals here, all of whom
are prisoners in the federal penitentiary
at McNeill's island after conviction on
charges of seditious conspiracy.
The men, Hulet M. Wells, a former
president of the Central Labor council,
Sam Sadler, and Morris and Joe Pass,
Rvssians, are doing two years' time for
opposing the draft.
It is because of their imprisonment
that hundreds of men in Seattle yester
day wore cardboads on their hats bear
ing the inscriptions, "Release Political
Prisoners."
There is a fine distinction In their
words. They are not seeking a pardon
for the men. They want the president
to release them because their adherents
do not believe them guilty of anything.
Because of the four convicted men,
whose Imprisonment is a big topic here,
there were several open air agitators at
work before big crowds within earshot
of the president's hotel Sunday.
When the labor men left the president
they said they would ''give him an op
portunity to issue a statement first,"
and that today they would issue their
statement.
The president. It was said authorita
tively, however, does not intend to issue
a statement.
The conference Sunday was the first
"side conference" that the president has
held.

A blue glngharaed mother stood at the

housewife lustily waved a flag big
enough to have made her a dress.
Though summer was in the air, the
touch, of autumn had brought blushes
from the maples. The countryside radi
antly reflected the smile of heaven and
so did' the president and his fellow
countrymen who rejoiced not only to
see him. but to think that his eyes
rested upon the view which they believe
lo be, of all views, most beautiful.
From roof, window, and fire escape,
and from the thronged thoroughfares of
Portland, President Wilson was heartily
acclaimed this morning.
From flag-hung buildings and from
the densely crowded streets below the
distinguished visitor was waved a fond
welcome with flag and handkerchief.
From street and building voluminous
cheers greeted Portland's guest, as he
bowed with bared head in recognition
of animated applause.

of welcome and approval greeting the
president from every side.
EXECUTIVE CLOSELY UUABDED
The army of bystanders continued
to line Broadway, across the bridge
through Irvington and out into Rose
City Park, where seas of automobiles
lined the path of the presidential pro
cession. The Incessant cheers of the
crowd only ceased as the president's
car eased into the fresh air and green
fields outside the lty limits.
The chief executive's car was flanked
in the procession by a squaC of motor
cycle police, and followed immediately
by secret service operatives.

Admiral Orsyson and Secretary Tu

Those who had gathered at tha hos

from the president were dissapointed,
for although he immediately entered the
