Speaking for the working class
and the revolutionary working class
movement, We accept the challenge
in the name of freedom and will
meet this outrage as it ought to be
met, by calling upon our comrades
to confront these debauchers of gov
ernment who cry TO hell with the
constitution" and resort to every
desperate means to intimidate and,
as the present situation shows, even
to murder our fellow workers and
comrades, who have never been
proven guilty of a single offense
charged against them.
Read the statement of one who
was instrumental in kidnapping our
comrades and separating them from
their homes and families: The of
ficers of the Western Federation of
Miners and those who were impli-
Gated in the secret designs of the
leaders will never leave Idaho
alive"
The Industrial Workers are here
by called upon to prepare for such
immediate action as developments
in this latest criminal outrage may
warrant; first, by a series of mass
indignation meetings, not to pass
meaningless resolutions, but to act
as becomes men conscious of their
rights and determined to maintain
them; second, by starting a defense
fund, contributions to be sent to

capitalists give for the 6so, 600 per-
sons killed by accident in the in
dustries in America per year The
capitalist press try to give the i'm
preston that it is the American
workinginan who refuses to avail
himself of accident preventing de-
vices. Capitalist production has
become most highly developed in
America. More surplus value is
ground out of the workers than in
any other country. The capitalists
have such full and complete control
of government that it is impossible
to enforce laws for the protection of
the workers. Laws like the fellow
servant act, for instance, are passed
by which the company can avoid all
liability for accident. The work
man is paced to the limit by the
machine; is worked long hours and
to the point of exhaustion. is not
furnished the means to protect him
self, and then the enterprising capi-
talist press amuses itself by publish
ing cheerful items like the above,
tending to show how little the Amer
ican workman cares for his life. II
America dominates the industrial
world she can only do so by a plan
of production by which her workers
can make more for their masters.

Beginning at the Occur dAlene
in 1897 a reign of lawless violence
has been waged bv the capitalist
class in the western states, one
phase of which was the unparalleled
series of outrages perpetrated against
the laborers of Colorado. Through.
out this conspiracy there had been
continuous attempts to crush the
labor organizations of the miners by
seeking to foist upon them the crimes
committed by the capitalist conspir-
ators themselves. Every one of
these attempts has failed. In spite
of suborned witnesses and terrorized
and corrupt juries, every case has
ended in complete acquittal. The
failure of the conspirators' diaboli-
cal schemes has filled them with
desperation.
The renewal of these outrages in
the present arrest of Charles H..
Moyer, VIM. ID. Haywood and their
associates marks the elimination of
this conspiracy. The secret arrest,
illegal deportation, and general
criminal character of all the pro-
ceedings mark this as the first step
to railroad these innocent men to
the gallows. in the hope of thereby
breaking up the radical working
class organizations and putting an
end to all resistance to tyranny.
We declare the arrest to be the
result of conspiracy premeditated
by the capitalist pirates of the west,
led by the mine owners and backed
by the Standard Oil company. The
latter had disposed of Heinze of
Montana as an antagonist of its in
terests and found only the radical
organizations of the working class
left to oppose it. To put Meyer,
Haywood and their associates out
of the way would effectually clear
the field for their brutal reign un.
der the black flag of piracy. And
this is the evident intention of the
gang which has pursued our com,
rades mercilessly for years.

A man stood on the bank of the
river. He was nearly blind.
Splashing his cane in the water he
cried, The river is here at my feet. "
Another man, equally short of sight
who stood on the opposite side of
the river. hearing the cry, shouted
back, mo, the river 10 hear at my
feet" Whereupon a dispute arose,
each claiming the river was at his
own feet. he could see it, he could
feel it, he could dabble his hands
in the water. While they we're thus
engaged a man of full sight passed
that way and hearing the dispute,
he said, Friends the river is bs-
tween you"
This is a fable. Ii was brought
to my mind by the article in the
Montana News, The Real Rsyo-
luton" by Comrads King and the
answer by Comrsde Payne. 1t
seems to me that most of the diff
fernces arise from misunderstand-
ing caused by looking at things
frou different points of view-from
only one side OF the river. be-
lieve that if Comrades King and
Payne could sit down and talk the
matter over they would find they do
not differ so much after all. Com

Butte Paper Says WOrkingmen Are
TO Blame for Losing Lives i'm
Capitalist Industries

Twenty-one persons killed every
day, or nearly one an hour, is the
average record of the death-dealing
American railroads. Accidents are
far more frequent in America than
in European countries combined.
G. Z. Walsh, an expert on acci-
dent preventing devices, in an ex-
haustive article on the subject says
that America leads in the produc-
ton of such machines which find
ready sale in Europe, although gen.
orally disregarded at home.
American workmen, he says,
spurn as childish, life-saving devices
while the more conservative man
across the water uses them constant
ly.
American speed is attributed as
the great cause of accidental death.
Americans work faster, and speed is
the prime cause of accidents. The
mortality list from mining accidents
in America is twice as great as that
of any country in Europe. pe.-Butte

The recent gambling revival in
Butte is giving the political derelIcts
of the city a hope that they can find
an issue that will watt them into
Office again. Adversity makes
strange bedfellows, and this is doubly
true of adversity in politics.
Start the Ball.
The ball was started by William
Scallon who wrote a very learned
opinion for the daily papers to the
effect that gambling is illegal. This
was followed in a few days by let
ter from Manager Wharton of the
Street Railway company in which he
said that his company will lose
$500 per month if gambling is al
lowed to continue. The next move
was to hold a meeting for the pur-
pose of forming an organization
that the instigators are pleased to
call a civic league. This prelimin-
arv meeting was held in the offices
of the Street Railway company on
the evening of Feb. I3, and the
meters tickled themselves and each
other by saying that it was thor
oughly representative crowd.
A Phantasma.
The phantasma was begun by the
election of William Scallon as chair
man and +. NJ. Nolan as secretary.
These are two of the most promi-
nent Amalgamated attorneys in the
state, and are commonly spoken of
as Amalgamated tools" On TAX
ing the charge Scallon managed to
retain his usual serious look. and
said that the law must be enforced.
He then called on A. b. Keith, who
was formerly editor of the Daily
Miner, for some remarks. Keith
spoke of the immortality of gambling
and criminality of the gamblers, but
claimed that the moral turpitude of
officials who will not enforce the
laws is much worse than that of the
gamblers. He also said that when
editor of the Miner he did his best
to educate public sentiment against

The Montana Record is the prime
ipal paper in the state that is boost
ing for Senate Bill 7o. Every paper
that is working for this measure is
working against the best interests of
labor in Montana.
When the petitions for the prim-
ary law were presented in Living
ston they were turned down by
every union in the town. This was
before the labor party in Butte had
the sand to kill the political serpent.

Primary Notes

Pat Meeney says the Labor party
has always wanted a primary law.
Certainly, because labor party is
always the stool pigeon to catch the
floating vote that the capitalists can
not corral in the old parties. They
want a primary law to spot every
mans vote.
Since Pat, the steerer, can't get
the laboring class to swallow the
primary law he'll try to duplicate
the Hearst municipal ownership
racket in Montana. Anything to
beat socialism.
The bosses in Montana thought
the workers would swallow the pri.
mary law whole, but the News put
their eye out.
If you want every boss for whom
you work to know just where you
stand politically, then you want the
primary law.
Pat could no longer serve his
masters when he couldn't lead the
labor party into the shambles of the
primary law. So he quit.
A nice outfit these labor fakirs
are for you working men to follow
politically. Dan Mcdonald wants
the primary law. Vote it down.
It's a dead cinch the working class
don't want the sort of government
the capitalists want. The Amalga-
mated is boosting the primary law.
Vote it down.
The trainers of the primary law
took good care to place the primar-
les when the farmers are all in the
field.
The argument against the primary
law is that it was passed by the
Montana legislature. 1t may be
that these fellows would voluntarily
emancipate the people from their
rule and thereby end their graft and

Let the Mask Fall.

Attorney +. B. Howell, was the
first to give a glimpse of the pure"
character of the meeting when he
said, it is the duty of the officers,
not of the private citizens, to en-
force the law. If the officers will
not enforce the laws there is an
election coming in the fall, and then
we should not shirk our duty. +"
But if Howell lifted the mask, Man
ager Wharton tore it clear off when
he said, we should not compel men
to enforce the laws. We should
elect hen to enforce them" Com
ing as this remark did from one of
the chief performers in the circus it
may be taken as a true statement of
their intentions. The well fed
grafters may soon expect to have
the hungry grafters after them with
the cry of get out so we can run
things"

man, and received closer attention
than had been given any previous
speaker. He showed conclusively
that the present officers will not en-
force the laws. He cited an in
stance Of being appointed to invest
igate the red light district, and that
when the mayor and city council
turned down his report, with no ac-
tion whatever.
He also at the time of making re-
port had asked the Ministerial as
sociation to lend their influence to

effort, as they would not take it up.
Criminal Officers.

criminality of the officers who are
the henchmen ofthe capitalist class.

One of the moving causes of the
meeting was shown by the remarks
of ex-Mayor Harrington. He said
that business was better for him in

no gambling, thus showing that it
is because the gamblers are encroach-

But the politician who is ready
to exploit every thing from the in
nocence of childhood, to the crimes
of capitalism was in evidence, and
had in fact engineered the meeting.
1t could not be expected, therefore,
that they would be able to keep their
purpos es entirely masked.

Pilots and Fakirs.

Some sky pilots were next called
by the chairman, and they indulg-

virtue and the sanctity of the home
and the decency of citizenship and
other things that do not and can
not exist under capitalism. By the
irony of fate Malcolm ellis was
sandwiched in among the preachers.

Iowa City, Nov. 13.-For the first

State University of Iowa who are
members Of the foot ball squad have
organized into an eating club. Coach
Chalmers declares that the reason the
Iowa team has been unable to play
with the same strength thru an entire
game is because the men do not get
enough to eat of the right kind of food.
For that reason a table has been re-
served for the foot ball men at one of
the leading hotels, and all of the stu
dents on the regular squad have pledg-
ed themselves to board there for the
next two weeks and pay the regular
rate of $3.50. The Athletic Union is
not paying for the board of the team,
or for any part Of 1t, and the men
themselves are paying the full charge
for the board. This action has been
taken by the team on account Of the
probable Ames victory two weeks
from last Saturday.
