THE |. w. w. is A REAL
MENACE TO THE u. S.
The I. W. W., It's Origin and Hide
Gus Aspirations. A Deadly Men
ace to Organized Society
Edward J. Costello in Chicago

Edward J. Costello in Chicago
Herald.
Constant industrial upheaval and
social unrest This is the all con-
Stunning purpose which is more and
more disclosing itself to the general
public in the activities, particularly
in the West, of the organization
known as the Industrial Workers of
the Word
Listen! 1t is a Daniel DeLeon, one
of the founders of the l. w w,
speaking in Minneapolis on July 10,
1905, before large audience of radi-
Gals on the plans of himself and as
sociates for the lone Big Union. J"
He says:
where the general executive
board of the Industrial Workers of
the World will sit there will be the
nations capital"
The official report of the speech
says there was long and continued
applause at this juncture. And in
this applause may be discerned the
real menace which now confronts
the nation, more Widespread than
appears on the surface that it will
require far more energetic measures
than to date have been resorted to if
it is to be overcome
Just now there is considerable talk
of pro-German influence and money
in connection with the 1. w. w.
strikes. Possibly there is some
ground for such a theory, in isolated
instances, at least. But the sooner
the inner meaning Of the movement
is generally understood and appreci-
ated the better will be the chance of
eliminating tiff, indeed, it can be
eliminated. To begin with, the l. w.
w is really the manifestation in this
country of European syndicalism.
And there never has been much syn
dicalism in Germany. Rather, France
and Italy have furnished it's chief
opponents, including M. Georges
SOrel, Arturo Labriola and Emil
Pouget; in fact, the former nation
was the cradle Of the movement.
The 1. w. w. ism is aimed at the
very structure of our modern society.
1t proposes to undermine the foun-
dations of government as we know it;
to set up in it's stead a so-called in
dustrial democracy, which shall own
and operate collectively all of the
industrial machinery of the nation.
These utopian ideals it has taken
from socialism, but there it's resem-
blance to the Marxist ceases.
1t was in a little back room some
where on the West Side of Chicago
that a group Of radicals one day met
back in 1904, and laid the plans for
the organization, which is said by
it's sponsors now to number nearly

ganized society of the l. w. w. prob
ably may be appreciated through a
couple of paragraphs of the 1. w.
w. preamble adopted at the second
convention in September, 1906. Here
they are:
"The working class and the en-
ploying class have nothing in COM
mon. There can be no peace so long
as hunger and want are found among
millions of working people and the
few, who make up the employing
class, have all the good things of
life. Between these two classes a
struggle must go on until the work
ers of the world organize as a class,
take possession of the earth and the
machinery of production, and abolish
the wage system"
The final paragraph of this pre-
amble says:
''It is the historic mission of the
working class to do away with CAPT.
talism. The army of production must
be organized not only for the every
day struggle with the capitalist, but
also to carry on production when
capitalism shall have been over
thrown. By organizing Industrial
ly we are forming the structure of
the new society within the shell of
the old"
And so when Haywood once said
as reported in the New York Call,
Il despise the law" he really was
epitOmizing the fanatical contempt
of himself and his associates toward
all that the law of this nation con-
notes STERILIZATION, the result of or
ganized society with it's economic
prosperity and Christianity.
For it must be remembered that,
despite what may be said in the
heat of anger or in prejudice, the
real Industrial Worker is not nee
essarily a mercenary. Neither is he
a work shirker.
He is something far more danger
ous-a fanatic.
He will submit to being hauled
around the country in cattle cars,
he will go to jail, starve, be exc
cuted-almost anything-for his be-
lief that he is working for the bet
terment of the race.
And above all he will keep con-
stantIy before him, the one object
of his movement, what he calls the
emancipation of the working class
and he will use the weapons of the
strike and boycott; he will sabote
until he is suppressed and then break
out in another place.
That is why a strike settlement
with the 1. W. w doesn't remain
settled for any length of time.
That is why there are constantly
recurring industrial troubles in Colo
1'aJo, in Arizona, in Michigan, in
the East
Your real l. w. w. uses the strike
as a bIudgeon and he isn't worried
ITnuch about settlement. The watch
word with him is Strike! Strike
Striker" AS against what he terms
the "futility Of political methods in
attaining his goal, he cries out:
Hit the capitalist where he'll feel
it the most"
And if the American public would
combat this menace to the nations
institutions, it must cease to regard
| the 1. W. W. as an inconsequential
aggregation Of irresponsible vaga-
bonds and ne'er-do-wells, acquaint
itself with the underlying purposes
of the movement, and seek to apply
the proper remedy.
