WAS RENDEZVOUS FOR I. W. w.
The fact that it was possible TO
assemble 300 members of the /.
w. W., TO attend the funeral of
one of their number in Fargo,
shows to what extent this city had
become the rendezvous of the Or

w. W., were gathering here for
their fall harvest. 1t was just be-
ginning when the countrywide
campaign and the closing OF the
Fargo headquarters by the police,
nipped it in the bud.
Fargo was to be the headquar-
ters for the holding up of train
crews and men returning from the
harvest fields with their wages.
The misguided youth, whose
career of crime was cut short by
bullets fired by the men he was
trying to hold up, is before a
higher tribunal. Any attempt to
condone Oh condemn his crime is
therefore untimeIy, but the
speaker who delivered his funeral
Grafton added blasphemy to the
other offenses that can be charg-
ed against this organization and
its leaders when he referred to
Christ as an l. w. w. The Nazar-
enc was a laboring man, but even
those who would dignity such
blasphemy by attempting to con-
slider it on its merits, could find
no other similarity.
