FARMERS FOOLED

Famed Agrarian Disturbances Into
Open Rebellion by Playing Upon
Fears of Oklahoma Farmers as to
Operation Of Draft

Washington, Sept. 26.-How a small
coterie of active anti-war workers, OPP
Grating under tie direction Of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, per-
suaded hundreds of unlettered Okla
homa farmers TO take up arms against
the governments enforcement of the

recently to the effect that a national
uprising was planned, was takentby Of
ficialS here as an indication that the
oklahoma farmers really believed the
plans would carry. AS a matter of
fact, officials assert, even the most
radical leaders of the movement knew
that it could accomplish but little
more than local disturbances. The
farmers were melted to take up arms
with the full knowledge that the move
ment would lead to nothing, simply as
an >eXpediont to embarrass the gov
ernment temporarily.
The anti-draft demonstration start
ed as an aSrarian movement. the
records show, in oklahoma, where a
number of illiterate farmers obtained
an exaggerated idea of the laws OPP
Grafton. Certain l. w. w. leaders
learned of secret meetings held by the
farmers in churches and other build
ings at night and sent agitators to the
scene to fan the discomfort into open
rebellion. it is said, by playing upon
their fears.
1t was represented to the farmers that
thousands of their neighbors in Missouri,
Kansas and Texas were ready to unite in
an armed uprising; that millions of men
working for wages would join them in
other states, and that the movement
could not fail to result in an overthrow
OF the government. With the government
overthrown, there was to be general di-
vision of the money of the rich among
the "men working for wages" and other
benefits of wide dimensions were to be
obtained.
The department of justice agents oper-
ating in the vicinity learned of the ambi-
tious program, and prior to July z. the
night set for the general uprising,
brought the project to an end with the
arrest of the alleged rincleaders OF the
movement At no time, it was said, was
the disturbance mere than local in char
actcr or regarded here as likely to
spread.
The fermentation Of this trouble is only
one OF many activities which authorities
here are investigating in connection with
the recent seizure of !. w. w. papers
throughout the country.
