They come pretty near it too.


 Here has organized labor willing ly got behind President Wilson in this war and made ready to do it's share to help the national cause along. and the plutocrats thcreupon think that the war is to be the oc- Casion when they can Glu'zlo, chain, goad and enslave labor to the limit.

 The answer would be yes were the workers the only responsible parties tc these strikes but theg are net.
 Prices are so high these days that the workers find that their wages will not buy them the necessities ~ the employers are using the war as club to keep down labor--t 1e workers are discovering that en- ployers will concede nothing to hslp the nation in the war while the employees are expected to eve everything. Hence the req! parties to hampering the nation at war are not the strikers but those who seek to use the war as a means of loading up profits.

 It was a peculiar action. TheJ just butted in and seized everything Article " of the Amendments to the Constitution notwithstanding.
 Let us get this thing right. The first charge is that they got Ger man money. Who said SO? No one directly. Charles Mover intimated it in the roundabout way of man afraid to do more than hint, sug- gcst, and indirectly give rise to that apprehension.
 What foundation is there within reason? Absolutely none whatever
 What lawlessness have the mem ebrs of the organization been ac- cu8cd of?
 Everything under the sur, from highway robbery to mauslaHeh'er.

 The capitalist writers, speakers, politicians inside and outside Of Congress.

 Not any.

RADIO STATION ATTACKED
 U. S. FORCES VICTORIOUS

The U. s. radio station in course of construction by Gutleben Bros., near town, was attacked Thursday evening by a large and ferocious DOT cupine. Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Gut leben discovered him crossing a foot bridge on the grounds. They exc cuted a masterly retreat and gave the alarm while Major Freyhold held the bridge with a powerful magazine broom. In spite of a continuous fusi Jade by Major Freyhold, and mag nifcient rear guard action by John Starr to cover the retreat of the la dies, the pocupine succeeded in cross ing the bridge.
 Endorsements now arrived, con sisting of Alec Cameron, Ernest Brugger, Elvin Molema, Sherman Bar tholemew, Rudolph Dalager and Peter Stockan. The porcupine was trying to gain strategic position in the brush at the rear of the cook tent, but the Cameron division cut him off and con tested every foot of ground, though the porcupine charged again and again.
 Company c (meaning carpenters) led by Henry McKallor, made flank movement and resisted every attempt of the porcupine to come to close quar- ters with their long-handled repeat ing shovels. Mir. McKallor was ably assisted by Howard Osier, Otto Boehm, Elmer Cook and Walter Be- win.
 The reserves, consisting of Charles Bacon, Superintendent Lane, Mir. Pet ersen, Henry Molema, Ernest Fields, Peter Kruslock and Charles Hoppe, were now deployed in the rear of the porcupine and brought a large cali Der box into action with telling eff feet and "Porky" was finally captur- ed. In the exciteemnt some one trod on Supt. Lanes pet corn. MT. Lanes remarks have been deleted by the cen Sor.
 It is suspected that the discovery of the camp by the porcupine was due to the fragrance of Mrs. Molema's new baked graham bread.
