 believed of the most debased savages. They have taken possession of rail road trains and have assaulted and murdered trammen. Men who cannot produce the red l. W. w. cards are habitually thrown from moving trains . or carried to the end of the train and . kicked off while the train is moving . Wherever 1t serves their purpose they l gather in overwhelming numbers tO ! overawe and terrify small communi 1. ties. They have surrounded court houses and packed court rooms to pra- vent the carriage of justice or to force their plans and objectives.
 TO blackmail the government anu imperil its conduct of she war, they have fomented strikes in industries vitauy essential in the making and supply of war materials. They have started forest fires, especially in for ests of spruce, the wood of which is especially used in the making Of aero planes. They drive axes, pieces oi steel and iron into logs with the phr- pose of breaking band saws and JeOp- ardizing the lives of mill employees. The constantly and purposely saw lum- her shorter than the standard length They prevent the raising of crops by practicing sabotage in planting. SOW ing and reaping by driving away work CTS. and by destroying crops in the field. in the sheaf, stack and in barns. The diabolic ingenuity practiced by the fanatics is illustrated by their put ting phOspOrus balls in shocks of wheat. in bales of hay and in barns containing these and other farm pro- ducts. While the nation is practictng economy so that the armies in Europe may be fed. these malcOntents have been engaged in destroying that which is essential for victory in the war.
 They have destroyed harvesting machinery by dropping sticks Of wood tools. nails and pieces of metal into the running parts and have jeopard- ized the lives of workers by placing dynamite in sheaves of wheat. The brutal deviltry of the Germans in de- stroving. with no excuse of military advantage. the orchards of northern France has been paralleled in this country by the l. w. W's Digging away the earth at the base of trult trees, they drive copper nails into the trunks Throughout the west splen- did orchards of prime, mature fruit bearing trees have thus been wanton- ly destroyed They plant trees upside down, shock grain with the heads down. hoe up potato vines instead 0f weeds, and bruise apples and other fruit in packing Where they fail to provoke strikes in mines, they endeav- or to make operation impossible by destroying mining machinery. They have been especially active-to the dl- rect advantage of Germany-in thus ! hindering the mining of minerals, es- peciaIIy copper, essential for the con | duct of the war They missend freight. especially perishable goods, misplace signal lights on railroads and put emery dust or sand in journal | boxes. They remove nuts from care i fully adjusted machinery. In hotels and restaurants they put foreign sub | stances in food The country has re- gently been stirred by the finding of ! ground glass in candy and bread, and 1 if is a question whether this has been done by German agents or the mem | bers of the |.

 "In an article opposing conscription printed in Solidarity of May F, 191I the l. W. W. declared:
 "'We consider the bombastic and far-fetching talk about Freedom and Democracy simply so much bunk. [. Had we the power we would stop eV- | cry ship. train, mine and mill, every food and supply plsnt-eVery wheel of industry, and thus paralyze the ma- chinery of murder and make it impos- sibIe for the ignorant man-killers of the bosses to gather their toll of the life blood Of foreign slaVers. We would extend the hand of brotherhood to the so-called enemy and strangle the gUr- ale for war in the fat white throats ot the blood blosted money-lenders of Wall street before it became artieu- late.'
 -'Upon the Imperial German Gov ernment which made this war the !, W. W. leaders cast no blame. The hosts which have been swept forward by the German military machine in it's las toffensive constitute merely a 'so- called enemy The American boys
