Gen. On*, in his plans for Seattle, goes one step further
than John Kirby. who comes with him. Kirby, who succeeded

Otis would not allow the union man even the ri^ht to work

From litters and telephone messages which have rome in
since the postponement of the contempt cases Friday, the in
dication! arc that the biggest crowd which ever gathered at
mi trial in Seattle will assemble when The Star's case is
called tomorrow.
'1 lit- people of the Rainier valley and the I )ii\vaini«.h valley
will be there, of course. Because they realize that The Star
is fighting their battles against the bitterest opposition from
powerful corporations and entrenched laws.
Concerns All People of Seattle.
Hut there will be people at the hearing who are not di
rectly affected by the case of the valley people against the
railroad, if this universal wave of support and approval which
has rushed into The Star office since Friday is any indication.
For this fight is not that of the valley people alone. And
people of Seattle proper have come to realize this. It is the
fight of all people against the allied opposition —the system.
The railroad corporations arc attacking the valley people
now. Thai victory won, how long will it be before they turn
On the people of Seattle?
The same corporation which is fighting the people of the
Duwamish valley by every hook and crook of law it also the
biggest, strongest factor today in Seattle political and gov
ernmental life — the Furth-Stonc-Webstcr power-light
monopoly.
Its representative* are in the council, in the legal profes
sion, at the head of at least one city department.
It intends to punish these valley people—for the good
effect.that it will have on the rest of the people of Seattle.
For once the people believe they cannot beat the Furth-Stone-
Webstet fare rubbers, they have lost three-fourths of THEIR
BATTLE THAT IS IT TO COME.
They intend to punish U.e valley people to severely for their re
iiiUnct that no one else m Seattle will ever dare to raise voice
or pen agamtt them. The/ know the laws, for they have helped
to makt them. They know what they can do under the law—how
long they can figM and delay and demur ard appeal and file super
sedras bonds and prolong the fight.
Whatever the issue tomorrow, this thing has become clear
that it Is not a petty case out in the valley somewhere, but some
thing which a'fects directly every one in the city.
The Star attaches] the injunction became it was rushed to the
aid of the dollar against the people. The injunction still hangs over
the heads of Seattle people in fights to come They art beginning
to appreciate this, and see just how big this fight that The Star is
in amounts to.
So there'll be lots of people tomorrow eager to hear what the
court decision is
