7REEN's BACKING.

Following Breen's =. conviction, a
movement vas started to recall him
from the position of school committee

the Ministerial Association and 1 +.

This movement is now under way.

Il I In 1898, Altgelt then Governor Of
Illinois, reviewed the case Of the Hay
market victims. His sense Of honor
spurned with indignation this travesty
on Justice. He Immediately pardoned

lead four. For this act, the capitalist
class has never pardoned him-they
killed him politically. 81 /. 7.
70 return to the case, the object of
III ruling class in ,1ss6-1sS7 was to
throttle, in its infancy, a movement
that was destined to eventually affect
It's overthrow. The capitalist class
saw into the Future, but 1t 'refused to
look into the Past. It knew that its
doom was sealed, but like its fore
runners, it foolishly thought that it
could save itself by reEorting to Force.

bitterly contested by both sides. The
capitalist class exerted oppressive and
repressive measures in its efforts to
subdue the revolt, and though the
strikers made no notable gains, the

since assumed greater proportions and

ing kept on them and the many traps
that were laid to their undoing.. !
The Breen episode, together with it's
subsequent developments, should leave
no doubt in any working mans Or wo-
mans mind, that the capitalists want
to murder 'Ettor and Giovannitti be-
cause they helped the textile workers
TO win great victory; and because
they are for the working class, first,
last and all the time, to the sacrifice
OF their own fortunes and at the: peril
OF their lives. The capitalists, with all
their alleged foresight and .stabil.
1ty,"' are as stupid and as incapable as
usual. They think with Ettor and Clio.
vannitti dead they will crush out the
labor movement and socialism. Fools!
They will but sow the seeds OF martyr
dom! They will feed the flames Of dis
content that recurrently arise in great
er volume to threaten their own de-
struction. The working class movement
defes them to do their worst. It will
live in spite of them. And it will free
Httor and Giovannitti while SO doing!

This report attributes the cause of
the strike to a wage reduction to meet
the reduced hours the new fifty-f6ur
hour law which went into effect with
out any notice to the employees. Much
disorder due to the absence of leader
ship and organization, followed. Then,
the report contrasts the change, fol-
lowing the coming of Ettor. 1t goes
on thus:
with the conflict started came the
I. w. W., understanding the point of
J. view of the nonskilled worker. the pre-
JUDGES and sympathies, and how to
deal with them. The men and women
who Joseph Ettor undertook to fuse
into single coherent body were OF
diverse races, most of them unskilled.
'Under the guidance of Ettor, the
different nationalitis and groups sent
delegates to central body, which met
daily. From this central body radiated
the plans of action adopted by the
leaders.
Racial antipathy, which had appear.
ed to the basis of HOPELESS discord,
disappeared in the organization Meet
ings were held and inflammatory
speeches were INDUCED in, the net re-
suit of which was not so much violence
as the making of a great body which
withstood the pressure of the strike
throughout the nine weeks of severe
winter"
Note "the net result" in the above
it is favorable to Ettor; very much so,
as it shows his power under adverse
circumstances.

Yet another sequel must be noted.
Having failed "to get" Ettor and
Giovannitti by means of bungled up
dynamite planting, the authorities
next proceeded ito get' them in some
other way. Bear in mind, Ettor was
followed by detectives the moment he
entered Lawrence. They warned lam
that they were after him, and that
they would "get' him sooner or later.
When Anna La Pizza was shot by Po-
l1ceman Benoit, the police authorities,
who acted in cooperation with the
detectives, ''got" both Ettor and Clio
vannitti. No sane working man or
woman will be found to believe that
Ettor and Giovannitti would play into

they did the close watch that was be-

was made the accession for the arrest
OF Ettor. Although in no way concern.

self was two miles away, he is held
without bail and stands in danger Of

charge that his language encouraged

after that freezing day in January,
when the water was played over a

there is being kindled a flame in the
hearts OF the workers, a fame Of pro

inhumanely trampled upon by them
and in their desire to serve their mas.
