WOULD NOT PUBLISH 1T
ditor Northwest Worker:

Editor Northwest Worker:
The editor of the Tribune said he
would publish this if | would change
my remarks about the flag, so |
sent it to you and ask you to pub
lish it.
On Thursday, July 10Th, | walked
into the Nez Pierce County court
house at about 8 p. m. and behold
there was an assembly of Law and
Order gang pretending to organize
to meet what they term the |. w. w.
menace, thing that does not exist.
The Industrial Workers of the World
is pure labor organization spread
ing useful propaganda. To my knowl-
edge they publish papers in seven
different languages. The |. W. w..
is condemned by the very people who
have Prussianized the United States
of America, and brought about this
war for their own capitalistic in
terests. 1t is therefore unjust to
ask citizens to sacrifice their lives
for interests that are antagonistic to
their own welfare. 1t is perfectly
just that they should protest against
such crushing exploitation as is aim
ed to be brought about by this Law
and Order clique. The Nez Perez
County Protective Association, ex-
cept for unjust purposes, has for it's
aims first, the prevention of a just
wage in accord with the high cost of
living; second, to give bunch of
bull-dozing parasites the power to
bull-dose and hammer the heads of
the common people. In the discus
sions at the mass meeting the terms
used by the very founders of the Nez
Perez County Protective Association
showed they would be fully as com
petent to organize pirate-like band
for the purpose of plumber. AS for
the protection of the people | hav.
watched Law and Order Gangs in nu-
merous places and am in position to
know that they all have unjust aims,
especially this organization. 1t is
aimed at the very best citizens be-
cause they are more loyal to their
country and the people than to the
flag that now represents bunch of
Wall Street parasites that is at the
present time wallowing to the neck
in the blood of honest people "The
time will bring the end, your riches
are corrupted and your garments are
moth eaten, your gold and silver is
cankered and the rust of them shall
eat your flesh as it were fire, We
have heaped treasures together for
the last days. Behold the hire of
laborers, who have reaped down your
fields, which is of you kept back by
fraud, crieth, and the cries of them
which have reaped are entered into
the ears Of Lord of Sabbath. Ye
have lived in pleasure on the earth
and have been wanton; we nourish
your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Ye have condemned and killed the
just and he doth not resist you

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES-En Enthusiasm ran
riot at the opening session of the
two-day conference of the Peoples
Council for Democracy and Peace
meeting in the Trinity auditorium
here. More than 200 delegates
were present, and the local member
ship of the council has mounted to
more than 400.
There were big speeches by big
men and women firm in their oppo-
sition to the war spirit sweeping the
country and they were vigorously
applauded in their demands for an
early peace and for declaration of
peace terms that will make the ter
mination of the war at an early date
possible.
While Socialists are active in the
conference, it is not distinctively a
Socialist gathering. Various shades
of political and religious thought are
represented
