t is the word the trainmen
use. So I put my hand in my pocket and pulled it out. 'You better get
back in the caboose, you are hurt,' he said. He saw the blood where
Fellow Worker Love had bandaged my head with his handkerchief. 'No,'
says I, 'Where the men are riding is good enough for me.' So we went to
where the interurban comes in and I was seven men short. I paid
two-fifty into Seattle, and we came in, and I made a report to the
Seattle locals."

Incidents similar to this were of almost daily occurrence, scores of
deportations taking place during the month of September. Then on the
26th, despite his promises to refrain from molesting the hall, McRae
entered the premises, forcibly seized Earl Osborne, the secretary, took
him a long distance out in the country, and at the point of a gun made
him start the thirty-mile trip on foot to Seattle. On the 29th of
September the Everett authorities arrested J. Johnson and George Bradley
in Seattle. Johnson was held on an arson charge but no legal warrant for
his arrest was issued until October 17th, or until he had been in jail
for nineteen days. Then the charge against him was that he had set fire
to a box factory--but this was soon changed when it was learned by the
authorities that the box factory had not caught fire until after Johnson
was in jail, and for the first charge they substituted the claim that
Johnson had burned the garage of one Walter Smith, a scab shingle weaver
deputy. George Bradley, who had been deported from Everett after having
served one day as secretary, was accused of second degree arson as an
alleged accomplice. Each man was told that the other had confessed and
the best thing to do was to make a clean breast of matters, but this
scheme of McRae's fell thru for two reasons: the men were not guilty,
and they had never seen or heard of each other before. Johnson was in
jail fifty-eight days without a preliminary hearing. Both men were
released on property bonds, and the trials were "indefinitely
postponed," that still being their status at this writing.

No further attempts were made to open the hall after Osborne's
deportation until October 16th when the organization in Seattle again
selected a man to act as secretary in Everett. Thomas H. Tracy took
charge on that date, remaining in Everett until a few days prior to
November 5th, at which time he resigned, his place being taken by
Chester Micklin.

During the month of October there were between th
