Olander, and the speaker proceeded
under difficulties.
These anarchists, and they are rea
anarchists, not even thinly disguised,
have been stirring up strife and dis
content in. this city for the past two
weeks. They have declared themselves
against the government, against the
army n navy, against the flag,

But the anarchist organization known
as the /. w. w. is a menace to. law and

which is absolutely irresponsible, and
which has absolutely no respect fol

The American Federation of Labor
a body known, and recognized and re-
spected all over the world, is fighting
the l. w, w. tooth and nail, because
they know that their methods are anar'

gain nothing in the long by prac'
