HANSON TELLS
STRIKE STORY
Ex-Mayor o Seattle Gives
Graphic Picture of Up
risinsr CHICAGO. ' July 20. A graphic
story of the Seattle general strike In
1119 wasJtold today by Ole Hanson,
former mayor of that city at the trial
of William Bross Lloyd and nineteen
other alleged radicals charged with
conspiracy to overthrow the govern
ment Mr. Hanson occupied the wit
ness stand most of the day.
A committee of strikers called
upon him the day after the strike was
declared, Mr.' Hanson testified.
"I told the men they were revolu
tionists, that we would refuse to deal
with them," he said. "I said we
' would get help from the government,
if necessary. They replied that we
need not be too sure of the soldiers
as they had won some of them over
to their side. .
, "I said if the soldiers are disloyal
to their country' then our country
is not worth living in. I said I would
be willing to make the test and that
I believed' the soldiers would remain
loyal."
The former mayor said that the
strikers started to recede from their
position and told him . they did not
desire him to make the test.
He told of a meeting at which he
said P.' Clifford, a member of : the
Central Labor council, spoke.
i According to the former mayor,
Clifford told the assembly that the
workers ought to take over and run
the machinery of industry.
. -"Clifford said: I1 you cannot get
what you want by the ballot route,
get it by the bullet route " Mr. Han
son testified.
. "A parade was formed with about
a thousand marchers. They swept
down upon our jail and demanded
the release of prisoners. Then they
marched to the metal trades council
and called the shipyards stslke."
. James Duncan, one of the alleged
leaders ot the strike, testified briefly
for the defense.
