At least six men were killed and 44 wounded Sunday in pitched battle at the Everett city wharf between 260 members of the Industrial Workers of the World, who came here from Seattle on the steamer Verona, and a posse of 150 citizens, headed by Sheriff Don McRae. Ex-lieutenant C. O. Curtis, of com pany L. Washington National guard. was killed. Nineteen others in the posse were wounded. Five of the dead and 26 of the wounded were on the boat. Sheriff McRae is among the seriously wounded. After the shooting, in which about 1000 shots were exchanged, the Verona turned around and started back to Se attle. Many men were Been to fall on the deck of the steamer, and others, panic-stricken, jumped overboard. Some were taken from the water, but others disappeared and it is believed they were drowned. The Verona reached Everett shortly before 2 o'clock. A call to Industrial Workers of the World members from all over the state had been issued earlier in the week and the citizens of Everett, at a meet ing held Saturday night, planned to meet the invaders and deny them privilege of landing. The sheriff stepped forward and informed the men on the boat that they would not be permitted to land. One of them, evidently spokesman for the party, began arguing with the sheriff and then made a speech. Ap parently as a signal, the man dropped his hand and armed men on the steamer opened fire on the posse as sembled on the wharf. The first man to fall was Sheriff McRae, seriously wounded. ' One man was killed instantly and in a moment the crowd on shore was pamc-Btrtcken. Deptuy sheriffs quickly rallied their forces, however, and returned the fire of the invaders on the Verona. ' Men on the wharf and on the boat were seen to fall and the Verona im mediately backed out of the dock and started back toward Seattle. The trouble between the I. W. W's. and the authorities at Everett has been of several months' standing and was the outgrowth of a strike of shin gle weavers here. After several minor outbreaks of violence during the strike, Sheriff McRae organized the Citizens' committee and expelled all members of the Industrial Workers of the World from Everett. A week ago 46 members of the In dustrial Workers of the World came from Seattle by steamer, but were met at the wharf by the citizens' posse, loaded into automobiles and escorted to a point south of town, where they were liberated and ordered to go back to Seattle. . Last week the Industrial Worker, the official - organ of the Industrial Workers of the World in Seattle, an nounced that the forcible expulsion of men from Evreett must be avenged, and called for 2000 volunteers to go to Everett to establish the "right of free speech." "The fight must be won," saia tne paper, "as the whole future oi tne in dustrial Workers of the World in this section depends upon the outcome. We want all foot-loose rebels in the West to center their attention upon Everett and the labor trust's mill and logging properties. Get on the job and use your judgment. A real cat can exercise pretty good judgment, and when he does, my, how the masters will squirm! We need men. men-cats, you know, real Toms. Head this way, and if you can not join the invading army on Ever ett, you can get on the job and, be sides making a stake you can well you know."

Fan-ell, who says:' We believe that there is an averr age crop of turkeys tnis iaii, not a verv big one, but a good average crop. Conditions are pretty good, men are pretty well employed, and prices on all commodities are hieh. We, therefore, predict that there will be a very fine price for fancy dressed turkeys, geese and ducks for the Thanksgiving trade. There have been a few marketed al ready for early shipment to remote points, Alaska, Manila, etc. tney weres-ood and sold well 2727ic We believe that fine goods on the Thanksgiving market will bring this much and Derhaps more. There will be a good demand aiso for fine dresesd geese and aucxs. Chickens on the Thanksgiving market are generally poor, sellers; they will be wanted later. Potatoes and Onions Advancing.
