Hellraisers Journal: Poem by Anise: “Fighting with One Fist,” on Action, Political & Industrial-The Ohio Socialist
As long as the BOSS
Uses BOTH fists
And pays detectives to do it,
I don’t see the sense
Of TYING UP
One of OUR ARMS.

Seattle, Washington – Tom Tracy Acquitted , Free-Speech Prisoners Released
From The Survey of May 19, 1917:
The Verdict at Everett
Acquittal for the Man Tried, Release for the Other I. W. W.’s
By Anna Louise Strong
“Not guilty!” With these words the great labor trial growing out of the battle on the Everett dock last November drew to a close, on May 5. “We are making history,” said the judge in his opening remarks to the jury. They were, indeed. Although driven from public notice by the opening of war, the trial of the seventy-four I. W. W.’s, represented technically in the person of one of their number, Thomas Tracy, is in many respects the greatest labor trial in our history. Tracy has been adjudged not guilty, after nine weeks of trial, and the others have been released without trial.
The main events leading up to the trial were covered in the SURVEY of January 27, and the evidence coming in at the trial has shown that statement to have been correct, except for one or two irrelevant details. A boatload of I. W. W.’s went to Everett on November 5, having previously announced a meeting on the streets of that city, and invited by circular the citizens of Everett to “come and help defend your and our constitutional rights.” They were met at the dock by the sheriff and 150 deputies. In the fight that ensued two deputies and five I. W. W.’s are known to have been killed, and there is a strong probability that three or four more I. W. W.’s were lost in the waters of the sound. On the return of the steamer Verona to Seattle, the entire load of passengers was arrested, and subsequently seventy-four were held on a charge of murder in the first degree.
