NUME EROUS FIRES

CAUSED BY |. ". VI

Chicago, May 3l.-Burning OF
threshing machines in the harves.
fields of Washington and Montana by
Industrial Workers of the World was
taken up by the government late to-
day at the trial of liz leaders ana or
ganizers for seditious conspiracy be-
fore Federal Judge Landis.
Chief Prosecutor Nebeker sought to
show that destruction of machinery
and numerous fires in these grain re-
eiOns were direct results OF teachings
of officers of the organization, and
that sabotage was practiced for the
purpose of blocking the war program
as well as for injurng employers.
j, N. Banks, farmer of Canyon,
Wash, testified fires were numerous
in his district and that on one. occa
sion a threshing machine was de-
stroyed Immediately after an l. w. w.
had filled it with grain. On this and
other occasions, the prosecution
charged l. w. w. members had hid
den matches in the grain.
other witnesses had testified that
|. w w. gunmen had patrolled freight
trains and prevented other than mem
bers stealing rides, Two boys from
North Yakima, Wash. testified they
were put from train by a gunman
with an |. w. w card and compelled
to walk fifty miles.
l. w. w. bulletins declaring that
last summer was the most opportune
time in history for the organization to
come into power and defy the estab-
lished laws were read into the rec
ords. They told of the expulsion from
the organization all who had joined
the British army.
Cross examination Of Frank Worm
kee, a private in the American army
and a former organizer of the |. w
w, failed to shake his story that the
organization taught the doctrines of
sabotage and violence. He testified
1t was the policy of the organization
to ruin the employer" whether he
was fair or unfair in his dealings.
