Strikes Affecting
Conduct of War


In the early summer of 1917
strikes in Arizona, causing the to-
tai or partial shutdown of mines.
resulted in the loss of 100, 100000
pounds of copper From the four
Arizona districts affected comes %
per cent of the total copper output
Of the United States. l. W. w.
leaders admitted the Arizona
troubles were merely part of a ma
tion-wide plot to stop all industry,
including manufacturing and agri-
culture. Denying any German con-
nections, they preached that the war
was "a Wall Street fight and pre-
dlcted such revolution as occurred
in Russia. Charles H. Meyer, pres
ident Of the international Union of
Mill, Mine and Smelter Workers, at
Denver, Col, charged the l. w. w.
with conspiring to close the copper
mines Of the entire country. The
|. W. w. boosted that $1,000 farm
laborers, who were counted upon to
assist in the wheat harvest, would
support the copper strike. Senator
Ashurst, on July 3, 1917, informed
the War Department that mine
strikes in Arizona had been organ
lied by Austrian and German in
fuences. In July, 1917, the activi-
ties Of the |. W. W. reduced by one
half the number Of men employed
by the lumber producers of North
ern Idaho.
James ". Rowan, secretary of
the Northwestern Branch Of the
|. ". W., announced in Spokane,
WASH, on August II, 1917, that
more than $4,000 men would quit
work in the agricultural and con-
struction industries in Washington.
Oregon, Idaho and Montana, and
that the only way to resume indus
try would be compliance with the
l.. w. w. demands. Rowan was sub
sequently arrested. During the
month Of August grain fields and
stacked harvests were set aire
throughout California.
While the American Federation
of Labor and the Railway Brother
hood were faithfully devoted to
keeping men at their Jobs the |. w.
w. was correspondence active in
trying to hinder the conduct of the
war by stirring up trouble and
discomfort and urging men to desert
their tasks. Of the l.156 strikes
during the SIX months following our
entry INTO the war the majority
were in industries essential to war
production. The number Of DAYS of
production lost through these strikes
was 6,285,5l9. Strikes stopping the
output of military supplies con-
tribute to the military advantage of
the hordes fllnging themselves
against the Allied wall in Picardv
and Flanders no less than would the
outright destruction of arms and
munitions or of transport ships.

war have carried on systematic
campaign Of sabotage for the de-
struction of waT supplies and the
hampering Of the war work of the
nation. Among the I. w. W.. whose
ultimate objects are the same as
those Of the Bolsheviki, and among
other anarchistic elements German
agents, government officials de-
clare, have found nvenient instru-
ments for the continuance of their
fell work in the United States.
The history of the |. w. W. is an
unrclieved history of disloyaIty,
disorder and fragrant crime. In
their acts violating our neutrality
before and in their activities since
we entered the war, the agents of
imperial Germany had little need to
import anything new.
l. W. w. Works Along Same
Lines as Hun Spies
At the time when Captain Franz
vor Papen began weaving his web
of intrigue and was recruiting
agents for the destruction of ships,
railroads, bridges, munition plants
and other industries. the l. w. W
ties already were Independently go
ing about the same work. In Janu-
airy, 1915, I. Gabrielle, an I. w. W.,
was arrested by government agents,
charged with attempting to blow up
the electric light plant of the John
A. Roebling Wire Company. In his
trunk fifty bombs were found.
Inspired by the I. W. W. and with
the purpose of tying up the ship
ment of munitions to the Allies, the
'longshoremen on the Mallory line
piers, New York, went out on strike
on July 20, 1915, and the day fol-
lowing those of the Clyde line
struck. The strikers met at I. w
w. headquarters, at Carlton and
Washington streets, where |. W. w
leaders advised them to tie up all
shipping on the North River by or
ganizing the firemen and affiliating
with the Marine and Transport
Workers Of the World and the |.
W. W. Jack Walsh, an l. W. W.
strike leader, said he hoped to TO-
ment sympathetic strikes in Balti-
more and Philadelphia In Phila-
delphia, few days later, 10000 pa
triotic Italians mobbed I. w. w. and
Socialist workers when they at
tempted to discourage 700 Italian
reservists from sailing for Italy to
join the colors.
Riots and fierce fighting occurred
when the workmen of the Standard
Oil Company's plant at Bayonne, N.
j.. melted by Frank Tannenbaum,
went out on strike July q, 1915.
At the same time fire broke out
IN the Office of the Tidewater Oil
Company, nearly 1000 of whose en-
ployes went out on a sympathetic
strike. This plant adioins the
Standard Oil works.

AN APPEAL TO THE TWELVE MIL
LION NEGROES OF THE UNIT
Ed STATES

Our nation is engaged in a war for
its very existence. To win this war
we must ave food, grow great crops
of foodstuffs and substitute other
foods for those most easily shipped
to our associates in this war and u
own soldiers in France, thousands of
whom are men of your own race The
Food Administration realizes that the
Negro people of this nation can be of
the utmost help in food conservation
and food production. Every Negro
man, woman and child can render a
definite service by responding to the
appeal and instructions of the Food
Administration and it's representa-
tives. The Negroes have shown them
selves loyal and responsive in every
national crisis. Their greatest oppor-
tunity of the present day, to exer-
else this loyalty, is to help save and
grow food. l am confident that they
will respond to the suggestions of the
Food Administration and thus prove
again their patriotism for the win
ming of this war.

Negro soldiers at Camp Funston
have been officially advised not to
do anything that tends to stir up race
feeling upon part of the white soldiers.
This means, of course, that the Negro
soldiers must not let the white sol
diers see them holding up their heads
and acting like more human beings.
In this critical period of world de-
mocracy" it would be a good time to
advise poor white people, soldiers and
civilians, that they should show a de
cent amount of respect for the black
soldiers in uniform, the best Ameri
can FILTERS, the men who will deal the
final blow to kaiserism and preserve
