Is no time to place any responsibility.
While the government is feeding
them and their leaders are able to
promise them the things which are
keeping them together, comparative
peace may prevail, but what is going
to happen If the government shuts off
the grub and they begin to scatter?
VIII they cause trouble? Will they
go to work? VIII they make good
citizens? How are they to be cared
for?
To begin with, they are not Ameri-
cans, and have no understanding Of
this form of government Somewhere
between 65 and s5 per cent OF the
men arc aliens, by birth and alleg-
lance. There are a few Americans
by BIRTH and a few more by adop-
ton.
They are unalterably opposed to
any form of government, except their
own, and are frankly aiming to take
over this and all other governments.
They seek the control of all nation
al industries, for the purpose of di-
viding all visible wealth according to
their own ideas of how it should be
divided
Disloyal by Principle.
They are necessarily disloyal to this
government, and would be to any 9TH
ct government, because they do not
believe in any form of established
government.
They insist upon the settlement of
all strikes throughout the country.

turn to work. IL they return to work.

Big Bill Haywood
They have refused to work on a ba-
sis of 1915 for eight hours. eating on
company time, because they do not
believe it represents their share Of
the total product.
They have refused to return to
work unless all their demands are
met and some of the demands are
probably intended to be impossible.
They believe they can force the,
government to meet all their de-
mards, If not by diplomacy, then by
revolution and force of arms.
Right to "Bump" Off Scabs.
Some of the minor leaders are daily
teaching their men that IL is right and
proper to bump off scabs II they
refuse to come into the organization.
and that every man not an I. w. w.
Is a scab. To them the followers OF
Meyer are "kid glove scabs," and the
followers of Gompers silk hat scabs.'
They will resort to any violence
promising their end
They believe that this world owes
them living. and that, any man not
one of them has no rights.
Now, If there is any man in New
Mexico who does not believe that this
represents the actual tenets OF the
order, he should go into the camp and
talk to the men, at Columbus and
other places. The leaders will deny
many of these things, and insist that
they are for law and order. and some-
times you find one who may
make an effort to give his acts the
appearance of regularity, but they
never work out right.
Not All Vicious Men.
DO not believe that all I. W. w.
members are vicious. because
