have been killed by eating poisoned
grain and drinking from poisoned
wells.
William D. Hayward, big Bill,
as he, is known to his followers, is
the directing force behind the Indus
trial Workers of the World. He
founded the organization in 1905, a
years before he, with Meyer and
Pettibone, was acquitted Of the muir
der of Governor Stuenberg, of Idaho,
who was killed by bomb as the re-
suit of the bloody Couer d'Alene
labor riots several years before. Hay
wood, then secretary treasurer of
the Western Federation of Miners,
was the brains of this organization,
and his trial and acquittal added
greatly to his popularity among those
with whom he worked, and aided MIN
considerably in extending the ranks
of his new I. w. w. organization.
A Band of 10000 ''Roughnecks.''
The Industrial Workers Of the
World had slow growth at first, but
its membership, now numbering co.
600, increased 1000 per cent. in the
last year. The men who form the
organization are, for the most part,
little educated, easily led. excitable
and trouble-seekers, the greater part
of them being of foreign birth. In
fact, many thousands of them have
never learned to speak the English
language. But once they begin rails
ing trouble in locality it is very
difficult to stop them. They dearly
love to fight, and a police officer or
deputy sheriff is their sworn enemy.
"Roughnecks" is what Big Bill
Haywood calls his followers, and the
men seem to glory in it. "Ours is
roughneck gang" once said Hay
wood. That's what they call us,
and that's what we are. But we
roughnecks are going to run things
some day, and then We'll give the
'highbrows' taste of their own med
icine. The only right solution of
the problem of life in this world is
to bring everybody down to our basis
of living"
Haywood, the Man.
Haywood is in many respects a re-
markable man; he must be to boss
the l. W. w. Born in Utah, he went
to work in the mines at nine years
of age. But he bought books, studied
nights and soon acquired a good
knowledge of the mining game. AS
he grew to majority he acquired a
big influence among the miners be-
cause of his knowledge and his force
full manner of speaking. He soon
worked himself up to what amounted
to virtual leadership of the Western
Federation of Miners, but left this
body after the famous murder trials
in 1906 to devote his attention to
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Haywood is a well-read man, and
he can discuss his doctrines in
smooth, convincing English when he
chooses. But he prefers the blunt,
forceful speech which he directs at
his ''roughneck' followers. He is
continually preaching the doctrine
of spreading terror among the capt.
talists by any method that comes to
hand. His recreation is writing poet
ry, and it is good poetry, too, ac-
cording to those who have read it,
poetry which breathes the soothing
spirit of nature rather than the ter
rors of an I. w. W. strike.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1917-10-02

during the last six months that the
federal government finally was COM
PEELED to act.
Bisbee and Butte.
The I. W. w. officials have been
devoting particular attention to the
copper mines of the West since the
United States entered the war, and
the result has been that copper pro-
duction this summer in Montana,
Utah and Arizona has been but little
better than so per cent. of normal
The organization succeeded in tying
up many mines in Montana. Two
thousand, five hundred I. w. W.
members gathered in Butte, and af-
fairs went from bad to worse until
citizens committee captured Or
ganizer Little one night and hanged
him from a bridge as a warning to
other agitators. A reign of terror
threatened Butte following this
lynching, and state authorities final
ly stepped in and drove the l. w. w.
men from the city and the state. 60
The organization then turned its
attention to Arizona, and in less than
three days time 1900 l. w. w. mem
bers appeared at Bisbee in some mys-
ferrous manner and prepared to stop
all work at the copper mines. But
a committee of several hundred citi-
zens, armed to the teeth, marched
the disturbers out of town then sent
them into the Arizona desert on
freight train. The majority of them
are still there, under guard of Unit
ed States troops.
Tied Up Lumber Operations.
In Oregon and Washington the 1.
W. w. attempted to halt all lumber
ing operations, and their success was
such as to embarrass seriously the
governments war plans. Not only
were the forests of Oregon and Wash
ington expected to furnish most of
the lumber for the big ship-building
program, but Oregon spruce was
wanted by the millions of feet for
aeroplanes. The l. W. w. succeeded
in Gripping all spruce cutting opera
lions for several weeks; in fact, the
production is not yet anyways near
normal.
East of the Rockies the organiza-
ton attempted to interfere with the
work of the harvest season. "Organ-
izers" by the score appeared in every
state west of the Mississippi and de-
manded as high as $40 day wages
for the laborers in the harvest fields
But the farmers in that section are
bad men to trifie with when crops
await harvesting, and the l. w. W.
disturbers were usually met by an
armed committee" when they crawl
ed from the brake-beams and given
Is minutes to be on their way.
Destruction of Crops.
Baked in their efforts to prevent
harvest work, the l. w. w. turned its
attention to the destruction of crops.
In this it has had more success. Mil
lions of dollars worth of foodstUffs
has been lost as the result of incen-
diary fires in barns, grain elevators,
hay stacks, etc. Grain has been
burned in the field, the fires being
started by incendiary bombs thrown
from passing freight trains. Thou

PRICE OF COAL TO GO HIGHER.

After quantities of oft repeated
advice the past several months not
to buy coal, but wait for lower
prices, news comes from Washington
that early revision of coal prices in
number of outlaying districts will
be made by the fuel administration.
The scale of prices recently fixed, it
has been found, will not permit oper-
ators in some states to run their
mines at profit. This is particular
ly true in some parts of the South
and West where coal runs in thin
veins.
The revision will be accomplished
by reclassifying the entire districts
concerned.
This announcement will not add
to the placid state of mind of the
many thousands who acted upon of
fetal advice and let cold weather
find them with no coal. in the bin and
the prospect of still higher prices if
they are able to get any coal at ALL

WON'T SELL COAL AT
PRESIDENTS PRICES
ATLANTA MAN WANTED TO BUY
THOUSANDS OF TONS, UN-
ABLE TO GET 1T FOR CASH.

ATLANTA, Ga.-According to l..
B. Jackson, of the Georgia Bureau
of Markets, although the president
has set a price for coal at the mines,
the miners will sell no coal at that
price.
An Atlanta coal buyer, says Mr..
Jackson, applied to the agents of
coal mines that furnish the South
with its coal supply for several thou
sand tons of coal for which he of
fered the price set by the president.
He asked for either the number of
tons he required or any fraction
thereof at the presidents price. The
mine agents laughed at him.
eve have no coal to SELL" they.
told him. "Our books are filed with
standing orders and we can contract
to furnish no more coal at any price"
None of the agents, either, presum-
ably because of the price-fxing rule,
offered coal at a higher price than
the one he offered to pay.
The coal buyer covered the whole
southern field because he applied to
agents who are in touch with all
southern coal mines, His refusal
amounted, therefore, to a practical
"shut out"
There could have been no motive
for the refusal of his particular or
der other than that of standing or
ders ascribed by the coal miners
agents. The dealer was a reputable
man and was armed with a certified
check to cover the total amount of
his intended order. He was anxious
to obtain coal at the least possible
price in order to undersell an alleg-
ed ring of Atlanta dealers who have,
it is said, tacit price arrangement.
