Industrial Workers of the World, finds
in his report made public today, that
the "vigilantes" of San Diego have
been guilty of more culpable offenses
that the Industrial Workers and recS
omends their prosecution.
Colonel Weinstock. who is the head
of large Sacramento firm, and
has been prominent in state indus
trial affairs for years. declared that
the district attorney Of San Diego has
failed to do his duty, and. in pursu-
ance Of his recommendation, Governor

ney generals office as to the advisab-
ility of beginning prosecution of the
men accused OF having kidnapped and
beaten the agitators.
The report, which is voluminous
document compiled after personal
study of the situation by Colonel Vein
Lstoch, -esAclides-t that while the Indusf
of a lawless by-product of European
o ia lawless by-product of European
OPPRESSION, they have been denied their
constitutional right of free speech and
that the disturbances have crystallized
growing problems of anarchy which
demand immediate and careful legisla-

trines:
A. That workmen are to use any
and all tactics that will get the re-
suits sought with the least possible
expenditure of time and energy.

is not to be considered.

unsheathed with all hearts resolved on
victory or death.
D. The workman is to help himself
when the proper time comes.

of labor is to be considered by the
worker as sacred or inviolable.
F. The worker is to produce infe-
rior goods and kill time in getting
tools repaired and in attending to re-
pair work; all by silent understand
ing.
G. The worker is to look forward
to the day when he will confiscate the
factories and drive ou the owners

cause national industrial paralysis
with the view of confiscating all In
dustries, meanwhile taking forcble
possession of all things that he may
be near.

with contempt all indicial fniunetions
In summing up. Commissioner Vein
stock says; Tn yew of the strained
conditions existing at this time in the
county Of san Diego and in view OF
| the utter lack Of confidence on the
part of the victims of the so-called
vigilantes committee in their being
able to obtain Justice and redress at
the hands of District Attorney H. s.
Utley of San Diego county-because
OF his pronounced hostility to them
and to their causes of complaint
your commissioner would suggest that

visibility of instructing the attorney
general of the state of California to
consider such evidence as may DC

view Of taking an active part In o'
