FACTS SHOW EVIL CON-

The steel trust, that started SO

Mesaba range of Minnesota, and the
lumber companies Of that state have
gotten wolf by the ears" in their
efforts to have the legislature APP
propriate $4,000 a year to be used
by the governor "for the purpose of
preventing violence in connection
with labor troubles" in Minnesota.

confirmed completely the report to
The committee on industrial relations
made by George P. West when the
Mesaba strike was at it's height.
1t has been proven by every i'm
partial witness called by the labor
committee, as well as by the testi-
mony Of the labor leaders, that the
demand for constabulary and for
special deputies in Minnesota is who'll
ly for the purpose of intimidating
workers. Their employers seek by
the aid Of state police to keep them
in bondage to conditions Of work
and wages that any free man would
strike against.

Lefty service of the United States
the very minute that war or the
threat of war may give a pretext
for that action.
THE press, powerful in peace, may
become more so in war" says an
amazing pamphlet issued by the
army war college. 'By its editor
ials and presentation of news it may
sway the people fer or against the
war and thus stimulate recruiting
and hearten and encourage the fight
ing forces in their work, or, by adj
verse criticism, may tend to destroy

The pamphlet from which that

the war college as long ago as 1915.
1t is now being revised for congress

STU: LABOR MEN
CT f,,r;NrSoTA
Steriffs to Be Given Enough
Power to Break Up Strike
Meetings

ST, PAUL, Minn.-Labor men are
protesting against two bills intro
duccd in the Senate, aimed ostensibly
at the Industrial Workers of the
World. The bills, if enacted into law,
would undoubtedly be used against
all organized labor.
One bill would authorize the sheriff
Of any county in the state to drive
out any person the sheriff regards as
. vagrant within 48-hours' notice. If
this alleged vagrant refuses to heed
the order, he shall be arrested and
prosecuted on a vagrancy charge.
The bill reads as follows:
'The sheriff Of any county may re-
quirc Migrants or disorderly persons
to leave the county within 48 hours
after notice SO to do, and any person
so warned who does not comply with
such notice shall upon complaint and
proof thereof duly made before a mu-
nicipal court or justice Of the peace,
unless therein he satisfactorily ac-
counts for himself, be punished as a
vagrant"
The other bill aims at so-caled I'M
lawful assemblages and gives the
sheriff greater authority than at pres
ent in making arrests. Labor men
suspect that the terms of the bill
would give sheriffs an excuse for
breaking up all strike meetings.
