Sixteen who were said to have carried Industrial Workers of the World membership were ar- j rested. George I*axton, Centralia, former soldier, was tired upon before daybreak to-day as lie was patrolling a road between Centralia and Cliehalis, near tlie bridge where the alleged I. W. W. was lynched Tuesday night- Police. National Guardsmen and former soldiers searched vainly for several hours for the mail who tired the shot, Paxton was not hit. Cities of Western Washington joined Centralia in arresting mem- 1 bers of the Industrial Workers of i the World and raiding their head- j quarters following the firing on an j Armistice Day parade here Tues- j day. Four former American sol- | diers are dead and a fifth is re- | ported dying as a result of the shoot- ; ing, and one alleged I. W. W. has been lynched. Identify header The man who was lynched here Tuesday night was identified early to-day as Ernest Everetts, by a J woman who conducted the rooming house where Everetts lived. He was | working here as an I. W. W. or- ; ganizer, the woman said. This identification was partly borne out when the police went j through effects found in the room ! occupied by the man. These effects ; included receipts for I. W. W. liter- i ature and blank receipts for mem bership dues in the I. W. W. accord ing to the police. The body had previously been identified as that of | "Brick" Smith, secretary of the local i branch of the I. W. W. All informations, it was under- j stood would allege either partici- j pation in or criminal knowledge of the killing of four members of the ; American Legion. County Attorney Herman Allen , said he had information which he j believed would result in convictions ; in all cases. This information, he j asserted came to him through alleged confessions of two young men who i admitted membership in the I. W. W. I Several State and Federal officials have investigated the situation here since the shooting Tuesday and have conferred with Allen. Further indication that Fedet-al prosecution awaited those accused of complicity in the shooting was con tained in tiie statement made by Robert L. Saunders, U. S. District Attorney. "In my judgment the I. W. W. have gone far enough with their acts to emphasize the truth hat (heir principle is the overturning of the Government, including the Federal Government," Saunders was quoted as saying. "If that is so and can he established by the evidence, every individual I. W. W. is guilty of that crime. "I shall place charges against every one of the men arrested. The complaint will be placed before the United States Commissioner at Ta eoma, and I believe that my evidence will be conclusive enough to hold all of them for the Federal Grand Jury. Military Funeral "I shall charge that each and every one of them wickedly and fe loniously confederated, conspired and agreed to overturn the Federal Government by force and resist the execution of its laws." The local post of the American legion has made plans for a military funeral to-morrow of the four former service men killed during the parade. Resolutions demanding drastic ac tion by State and Federal authorities against radical organization have been adopted by American Legion posts and other organizations in many Pacific coast cities. Through its commander the Yakima Wash., post, sent telegrams lo United States Senators Jones and Poindexter, demanding that steps be taken immediately to enact proper legislation to "exterminate the I. W. W. and other radical organization inimical to the Government." Twenty-two men and one woman, reported to have radical beliefs, were placed in Jail here and later four of the prisoners, including the woman, were removed to the Lewis bounty jail at Chehalis by National Guardsmen. Raids were conducted in Seattle, Tacoma and Aberdeen on the Industrial Workers headquar ters. In Seattle 11 men and "tons of literature." according to the police, were taken to police headquarters. The Tacoma police arrested 34 al 'eged members of the Industrial Workers and seized a quantity of radical literature. At Aberdeen quantities of literature und the (Continued on Page 11.)

Marshall Bullitt, Louisville, on behalf of the Wright and Taylor and the Brown-Forman Distilling Companies of this city and seeks to prevent Government inter ference with sale of nearly a million gallons of tax-paid whisky owned by the companies.

In a similar suit recently. Judge Evans declared the war prohibition act unconstitutional and granted an injunction to the Kentucky Distil leries and Warehouse Company for bidding interference by the Govern ment with sale of approximately 69,- 000,000 gallons of whisky owned by the plaintiff.

It is because of this possibility and the steady drain meanwhile on the nation's visible coal supply that Secretary Wilson undertook to-day i to induce come of the miners and operators to see the other fellow's I side. The indicated continued suspen sion of mining activity in union fields was not a surprise to govern ment officials, nor accepted as an actual test of the attitude of the miners. Complete distribution of the order canceling the strike will take some time, it is said. It is felt, how ever, that a large number of men still will remain out until assured that some of the demands agreed unon In convention will be grant ed. Labor leaders who frankly ad mitted that public sentiment was strongly against the strike, took comfort to-day in what they describe as a seeming change of sentiment as reflected in newspaper editorials.

He also asserted that organ ized' labor is facing a crisis and needs to put itself right before the | nation. Zuber also urged that organized labor put Itself on record as against radicalism, saying "organized labor has got to bear the brunt of the shooting in the west of returned I soldiers unless we disapprove of i it."

MANY RUMORS SETTLED Wholesalers Explain That the New Sweet Is Not Arti ficially Colored Washed raw sugar, resplendent iw all colors of the spectrum, has made its appearance in Harrisburg and to day many Harrisburgers are get ting their first taste of what haa been dubbed rainbow sugar. This sugar is a Cuban product, according to one city wholesaler. Shipped from the island to this country, and thence direct to the big eastern reiineries, it has made its appearance in this section. Small quantities of it were to-day pur chasable from city retailers at II cents per pound. All reports notwithstanding, this sugar is under the control of the government equalization board. Some stories hud been circulated in the city to the effect that the sugar had been purposely colored in or der that it might not come under the government control, but this story is branded as untrue. The shipment of this "rainbow" sugar to Harrisburg has not been .especially large, but it is aiding con siderable in supplying the deficiency in the city supply. The shipments of Ig>uisana sugar, received here several weeks ago and sold at high prices by reason of the faet that they wpre without the control of the government board, has been en tirely exhausted. Some quantities of Ihe granulated variety, however, are still on hand in a number of estab lishments.
