The Industrial Workers of the

valiant maintenance of the right OF

menced with the authorities of Spo-
kane. The authorities show an unus-

ment jeopardizes their graft.
Dirty Chicanery.
The Spokane authorities have play
ed dirty trick with the /. w. w. A
year ago the industrial entered upon
a desperate fight for free speech. They
filled the Jail and nonplussed the city
administration. The city thought iit
to call truce and asked that hostii-
tiles be suspended pending COURT de-
cision. The /. w. W. agreed to these
terms, but no action has ever been
taken on the part of the city to get a
settlement of the case. Tired OF being
buffaloed in this shape the /. w. WI
prepared for a march on Spokane,
the authorities prepared TO resist them.
and the Workers are now fighting cap
italist domination, und unjust abridge-
ment Of legal personal rights with all
the forces at their command. The
capitalist papers of Spokane have an
nounced In staring headlines that
5000 revolutionIsts from all over the
northwest ewere gathering for the
fray.
The Industrial workers, the Spo-
kane orga nof the i. W. W., issued the
call for this gathering OF the clans,
Different unions were notified by wire
how many men to send TO Spokane.
One capitalist paper stated that 500 re-
cruits for the battle boarded trains
out OF Portland. Oregon, without the
formaiity OF purchasing tickets.
City Violates Constitution.
The city officials prepared to handle
these American citizens contesting fer
their guaranteed rights. The mayor
instructed the chief OF police to issue
orders to his entire department to Jail

work, and to prepare means to incar-
cerate at least 500. ohders were also
issued to give them two baths a day.
This is under the ordinary capitalist
caliber notion that socialists and revo-
lutionary socialism are opposed to
cleanliness. The ignoramusses have
never yet got II through their thick
skull that all OF this radau is beca sc
the rsvolutionis's want a higher civiii-
zati"n. and such a government as the
city OF Spokane cannot furnish. IL is
one of the greatest complaints that the
socialists bring against this system that
the treatment accorded to prisoners is
filthy and inhuman. And IL Spokane
can bathe 500 prisoners twice day
1t will take the cake over all other
American cities for progress in penal
methods.
Colored Troops Called.
The mayor has requisitioned the
United States government for eight
compaies Of colored troops from Fort
Wright II the rulers of the people shall
deem 1t necessary.
A city ordinance was passed prohib-
iting all but religious organizations
from speaking on the streets. This is
aimed directly at revolutionary speak
ers as no other political belief uses the
streets.
$50 Speakers were arrested the first
day. The charge was for speaking on
the street without permission OF the
authorities. The chief OF police and
the sheriff headed a party of deputies
and detectives invaded the I. w. w.
headquarters, took into custody James
Wilson, the editor ofthe paper. and
seven OF the principal leaders and or
ganizers of the union. Here ir an at
tack on the principle of free labor or
ganization. 1t is disguised under thn
name of disturbance. but that has al
ways been the method throughout his
tory Of crushing organizations distaste-
full to the rulers. Those arrested are
held without bonds on the charge Of
to riot.
Justice Orders Ordinance Made

Justice Mann who Is holding up the
judicial end OF the government perse-
cution detected the flaw in the first
as class legislation. and dis
missed the prisoners under It. An
other ordinance was then framed on
the judges advice. designating any
speaking on the street where a crowd
gathers as disorderiy. Thus the Judge
makes the laws. and decides on II, and
passes sentence on II.
