s raid that fateful Sunday morn,
May your kith and kindred live to curse the day that you were born;
May the memory of your victims haunt your conscience night and day,
Until your feeble, insect mind beneath the strain gives way!

Oh, Don McRae, you've had your day; make way for Freedom's host:
For Labor's sun is rising, soon 'twill shine from coast to coast!
The shot you fired at Everett re-echoes thru the night
As a message to the working class to organize and fight!

Those graves upon the hillside as monuments will stand
To point the way to Freedom's goal to slaves thruout the land;
And when at last the working class have made the masters yield,
May your portion of the victory be a grave in the Potter's Field!

The end of the first week in January brought about the change in the
administrative force of Snohomish county that had been voted at the
November election. A new set of lumber trust lackeys were placed in
office. James McCullogh succeeded Donald McRae as sheriff, and Lloyd
Black occupied the office vacated by Prosecuting Attorney O. T. Webb.

The advent of a new sheriff made some slight difference in the jail
conditions, but this was more than offset by the underhanded methods
used from that time on with the idea of breaking the solidarity of the
free speech fighters. Liquor was placed in the bathrooms where the men
could easily get hold of it, but even among those who had been hard
drinkers on the outside there were none who would touch it. Firearms
were cunningly left exposed in hopes that the men might take them and
attempt a jail break, thus giving the jailers a chance to shoot them
down or else causing the whole case to be discredited. The men saw thru
the ruse and passed by the firearms without touching them.

Working in conjunction with the prosecuting attorney was H. D. Cooley.
This gentleman was one of the deputies on the dock, having displayed
there his manly qualities by hiding behind a pile of wood at first, and
later by telling others to go with rifles to head off the Calista which
he had spied approaching from the direction of Mukilteo. Cooley had a
practice among the big lumbermen, and in the case against the I. W. W.
he was hired by the state with no stipulation as to pay. The general
excuse given for his activities in the case, which dated from November
6th, was that he was retained by "friends of Jefferson Beard" and other
"interest
