Get the I. w. w. Leaders!
Get Them Behind Prison
Walls and Keep En- There!

Summary disposition of those |. W.
w. agitators responsible for the first
serious outbreak in Michigan is de-
manded.
It need not be necessary to resort TO
lynch law and emulate the steps taken in
Arizona.
In anything like general deportation
there is danger of the innocent being
made to suffer with the guilty and, pos
sibly, to suffer more.
GET THE leaders, That is the
responsibility of the authorities.
This movement is headed by an ire
sponsible band of trouble-makers. who
are insincere, who are un-American and
who represent a fine collection Of unde-
sirable citizens.
Their speciality Is interference with
COMMENTED workers and they are the
greatest enemies of those workers.
Capital has absolutely nothing to fear
from the I. w. w. gang except where
intelligence on the part of workers is
lacking, which fact explains why they
are found operating principally among
foreigners.
In the eyes of those who work, includ-
Ing members of established unions, l. W.
w. stands for IT Won't Work and Sab
botage," things that are abhorrent to all
honest and intelligent workingmen.
At the instigation of controlled and
faithful press, owned body and soul, or
ganized capital is attempting to fasten
the obloquy and curse of az w. W." upon
every workman who is forced by the in
creasing cost of living to ask for more
wages.
They have made so bold in their dem
onstrations in the Upper Peninsula as to
shout "Hurrah for the Kaiser" and to
indulge in anti-American speeches.
Just at this time we have some solid
prison walls that could not possibly be
performing a greater or more patriotic
service than the shutting up of the lead
ers of this mob, away from the outside
world.
The man who can and won't work, be
he rich or poor, is a parasite biting and
bleeding honest labor as well as society
generally, and he should be made to
work.
The fellow who throws a wrench into
labor machinery, fires a wheat field, OF
wantonly destroys any product of honest
labor is criminal and should be Jailed.
All people worthy of being called
Americans believe in this.
GET THE LEADERS.
GET THEM IN AND KEEP THEM
IN.
