Dictagrans

On some of the stickers with which
the L. w. WIS decorated Wa-Keeney
walls and windows appears a picture
of a wooden shoe and the printed
word Sabotage, and some curiosity
has been aroused as to the meaning
and connection of the emblems. The
French name for this wooden shoe is
''Sabot" pronounced Sab BOE), and
that is about all there is to be learn
ed from the unabridged dictionaries
However, in response to several in
quiries, this column took the matter
up with Prof. J. H. Niesley, of the
county high school, who kindly fur
nished us with the following from
Sabotage equals syndicalism.' That
new form of collectivism which ad-
vocates the concentration in the
hands of the workers of each indus
try of it's own instruments of protec-
tion. Also Radical labor movement
which aims at ending of present cap
iUalist system.

However, Surveyor Harlan thinks it

to use or misuse the tools of a trade
or occupation and its products in
such way as to make the same a.

him by threats to force employers to
yield to the demands of the employ
ees. Incidentally, burning stacks,
barns and machinery would be in
line with the above definition. Per-
