THE GREATEST MENACE IN THE
 WORLD TODAY
BY HAMILTON KENDALL


 The patriotic and diturbine prominence attained by the orga nization known as the Industrial Workers of the world has star tied every patriotic. home loving God fearing citizen of the United States-yet great majority of the great American public are grossly unfamiliar with the scope and ultimate purposes of that revolutionary element in our in dustrial life, as worker in the camps of Washington for the past few years. I have touched elbows with them, have through personal contact and intimate as sociation become thoroughly ia miliar with the aims. ideals, methods of applying the most sacred weapon of the organiza- tion, Sabotage and the insensate, unreasoning, deep seated hatred every I. W. w. holds toward the present form of government.
 In writing this article 1 took into con sideration the possibility of criticism and charges of mis- statements, and I assure the reader that this comprehensive analysis of the greatest menace in America today. as great a menace. as real a menace. and as far-reaching a menace as the I'm perial German War Lord, is con servative.
 There is no exaggeration in this statement, in every district where this outlaw" organization dominates-the populace KNOW believe me, THEY KNOW that no evil could strike a more par alyzing blow to law, order. 6e cency and liberty than this an archistic God hating, law detest- ing band of nal contents.
 In considering the I. w. w., it is first of all necessary to under stand their fundamental princi pie the employer must go. It is equally necessary to understand that their word, agreement or contract is worthless-they frankly and officially announce as much. An employer dealing with an ordinary union may come to terms with the organiza. tion for . definite time and be certain that the terms of agree ment will be faithfully complied with. The reverse is the policy of the I. ". ". To agree with them e t. wages. hours O. work ing copditicns today does not in. sure the employer against a Atrilre tomorrow, and if he ia not confronted by strike he will

nave CO contend With systematic sabotage, organized loafing and ingenious methods of causing him financial loss. No matter how high the wages, how short the day or how pleasant the working conditions-the 1. W. w. is the relentless enemy of the employer. Nothing save the ex- termination of the employer and the overthrow of judicial and leg islative government will satisfy him.
 The 1. w. w. is literally a rev olutionary organization which had it's inception in Chicago in 1904 when a group of radical la bor leaders, under the lead dership of Thomas T. Haggerty, editor of the official organ, and Clarence J. Smith. general secretary treasury of the American Labor Union, formed the organization by combination of the Western Federation of Miners, The Uni ted Metal Workers, the Ameri can Labor Union and the Social ist Trade and Labor Alliance.
 The brilliant Debs was a warm supporter of the embryo organi zation and for some time after the Chicago convention made stirring appeals to his radical adherants to join the 'One Big Union.' However, the party leaders became entangled in bit ter controversies and in 1905 the Western Federation of Miners withdrew, and three years later the Socialists and conservatives announced their dissolution of interests. The radicals opened up headquarters in Detroit and called the new radical branch the Detroit I. w. W.
 The two organizations, though practically synonomous so far as principles are concerned, have been bitter, implacable enemies. A deep seated antipathy between both radical orders and the So- cialist party, the Legitimate Trade Unions,' and the present form of government has prevail ed since the forming of the two Branches of the I. w. w.
 A perusal of the l. w. w. plat form (Preamble) is sufficient to convince the most skeptical ob- server that the organization is founded on principles with ten dencies bordering on anarchism. as the following excerpts will H. lustrate:
 The working class and the employing class have NOTHING in COMMON; between these two . struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as

 earth and the machinery of pro duction and abolisl. the wage
 syStem-moreover-the trade
 unions aid the employing class into believing that the working class has interests in common
 with their employer. /" Instead of the conservative motto: "a , fair days work for a fair days pay" we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watch word. abolition of the wage system.
 According to the I. w. w. the employer, DO matter if a corpora. tion, farmer. contractor, or pea nut vendor-if an employer, rich or poor. he has ceased to be a necessity in industrial or social life and is merely a superfuous parasite. They point out that any lasting agreement between em ployer and employee is impossi ble. In fact the most basic and adhered to principle of the I. w. w. is that: Arbitration and per manent settlement cannot be countenanced by the organiza- tion." :" They declare there is no
 good employer" they all look alike-there can be no peaceful pursuit of employment, no truce for the employer or society, noth ing but relentless warfare thru sabotage and strike TILL THE PRESENT FORM OF GOVERN. MENT IS OVE9THROWN.
 In the latter part of April, 1918, Mir. Belmont, prominent 1. w. w. speaker and organizer, after a passionate plea to his rad ical hearers not to forsake the application of sabotage ANY TIME, boldly ard with dramatic elocution, remarked: The Uni ted States is the most uncivilized Nation in the World today" our civilization is below that of the Igorrote head hunters of the Phillipine Islands" A few days later Mayor Ole Hanson, the fearless patriotic Mayor of Se- attle. and Cheif of Police Joe Warren decided the time had come to call a halt and raided the 1. w. W. Hall arresting 213 mem. bers. Chief Warren put a pad lock on the door and at this writ ing it is still there. The 1. w. w. members were taken to the Pc lice Station and searched, the of ficers finding over $5OOO in their wallets, but not 2 single Liberty Bond or Red Cross button. This factor appeared significant to me and interrogated a score of genuine 1. w. w. members as to their unpatriotic attitude toward

the society which has OutlaWe0 them for their crimes.
 Common sense dictates that crafty intelligence. if enthroned over an inarticulate multitude. soon degenerates into tyranicaI misuse of power, and it would be impossible to find more strik- ing illustration of this fact than the demonstrated progress and militant action of the 1. w. w. rabble. The Revolutionary I. W. w." page z, contains the fol- lowing statement: The 1. w. w. disclaims any nationality. The Industrial Workers of the World is an international move ment; not merely an American movement. We are patriotic to our own class. We realize that as workers we have no country. The flags and symbols that ono meant great things to us today mean naught to us but oppres- sion and tyranny. In every way possible and escape the wrath of a red blooded aroused patriotic citizenry, the 1. w. w. fiount their hatred of the Star Spangled Banner. they also hate with the fury of savages. all re- ligious worship. 1 submit the following song distributed in I. w. w. song books:
 TO OLD BILLY GOD God and the Devil fought one day Jehovah then drove Old Satan
 away;
 Then he ruled in realms so sub
 blime
 The Devil gave .him a hell Of a

 in His eye.

 must die;

country to the other that they do
 not hesitate over right and wrong
 and habitually following the line
 of least resistance they generally
 uphold "wrong.' In the woods
 they systematically cut logs too short or too long. cut wire rope, put emery dust and sand in bearings, loaf on the job. and periodically strike in manner
 to keep the employer in a con
 stant state of nerves and to
 compel a minimum output of timber products, the object be- ing to cause the employer as
 much trouble and financial loss as possible. In the mines, mills and farms every means of slow ing up production and of harass- ing the employer is taden instant and paralyzing advantage of. In
 the fruit districts of Washington the I. w. w. workers studiously pinched finger nail holes in fruit, and every other ingenious meth
 cd they could successfully em
 ploy, and, escape detection. In the wheat belt of Washington they fiatfootedly made the direst of threats. demanding unreason- able pay and short hours and de- claring they would make good intimidation, i. e, to strike. ter rorize and cause the harvest to rot on the ground" and all this in war time, however prompt ac tion of Government and state officials presented the tie mp.
 The I. w. w. has declared, and still openly boasts, that it's pur- pose is to destroy society," to overturn civilization-to stamp out individuality, and to erase the laws of private property of any sort, whether of land, money mental attainment, or manual skill. The I. w. w. is an enemy more serious in it's purpose and character than any Imperial Government. Wars may be end- ed by treaty, following which there would be an opportunity and incentive for self develop. ment; and civilization would con- tinue to advance even though It's character would necessarily be changed. They are attempting to usher in an era of universal servitude of the fit tc the unfit, the skilled workman to the un- skilled, the intelligent to the un- intelligent, the aspiring to the unaspiring. and the man who has something of his own to the emp. ty handed. They see the possi- bility of using the tremendous force of organized ignorance, in capacity. and class hatred by seizing upon the vast army of the wilfully ignorant, unskilled and disgruntled. and have set themselves to the task of recruit ling this army to war strength by preaching the doctrines of discontent in the avowed purpose of avenging themselves upon

tnere was no attempt to conceal their radical anti government sentiments, we recognize mol country, and no flag but the. Red 1
 Flag. Why should we loan mon-
 ey to our enemy. The present
 form of Government IS simply a
 haven and protection for the cap
 italists, and the fact of the matter
 is the capitalists are the Govern
 ment and we hate the capitalists, l therefore we would be crazy to
 loan money to the Government
 we are trying to overthrow. :" And
 l can truthfully and copserva-
 lively say that every genuine

 the same sentiments in his heart. Il The l. W. W. are direct ac-
 tionists" (so called because they
 do not believe in the ballot to
 overthrow the present form of
 Government but rely wholly on
 the power of systematic sabotage
 and strike to gain that end. They
 do not believe in a Congress.
 President, Legislature, Governor
 or Court, or in any form of law
 making or law enforcement as
 provided by the Constitution,
 but would control and rule by di-
 rect action referendum and no
 individ ual would hold more au-
 thoritatiye position than the
 most mental worker.
 1 will now define the most
 cherished and damnable doctrine of the I. w w., doctrine that
 is responsible in a great degree for the partial failure of the air plane program:
 Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the
 noted 1. W. w. agitator describes sabotage :under several heads, the principal among which are: "Adulteration;'' The slowing down of work; The general re- duction of efficiency; Placing , kerosene in ovens to make food ( unfit; Intimidation, Coercion and any means necessary to gain f the end. In fur factory in Phil 1; adelphia, before stopping work the cutters were instructed to 2 alter the size of the patterns on which the fur coats had to be {; made. Every cutter followed this i; advice and reduced by one third 2 of an inch all patterns he could f lay his hands on. Page 99 Sa- f botage.)
 Spargo, noted authority, 9 writes in part: Of course the q sabotage idea was easily extend r ed-a little dust in the bearings, f especially emery dust, would do f much. Soap in boilers would re- n tard the development of steam judiciously planned accidents c might easily cost the employer i, far more than a slight increase !, in wages. Keep this up it was !, urged, and short time the em. i, ployer will be on his knees f

Sebateurs are the Eclaireurs, the scouts of class struggle ''
 Bosquet, after bitter denun. citation of the present system says: "The simple s:oppage of work is not sufficient to realize the aims of a strike-lt is neces. sal y-indeeG indispensable that a the tools, instruments, utensils, machines and other means of proc cuction of shop, mill, mine or factory -also go on strike, or in other words that they be put in a non-running condition"
