and similar propagandists, thereby
adding to their prestige and gaining
friends and supporters for their cause.
But the movement should be made
unanimous. The traitors should be
smoked out. Honest workingmen,
struggling for their rights in the tur-
moil of disturbed social and industrial
conditions, should not be handicapped
by advocates of socialism, bolshevism
and plain treason.
Those men who would open wide the
jail doors to the criminals who have
f1outed the laws of the nation would
take away the guarantee of life and
liberty. They are destroyers, not
builders. They are noise mongers, not
workers. Let honest labor divorce it
self effectually from association with
this element and thus win the unani-
nous support and sympathy of every
patriot and right thinking man.

UNREASONABLE DEMANDS
OF INCENDIARIES

The following from the Washing
ton Post shows to what lengths the
radical labor element is trying to
carry it's order:
It appears from the press reports
that the committee of union labor
men which intruded upon President
Wilson's day of rest to urge the cause
OF the workingman upon his attention
really came to ask him to open the
Jail doors and free convicted crimi-
nails.
This is not the cause of organized
labor, and workingmen should not
permit themselves to be made the
dupes of the radicals who defy the
laws of the republic from behind the
mask of union labor.
What was the complaint which the
committee brought to the president at
Seattle? Were more wages, shorter
working hours or better working con-
d;tions the theme of their plea? No;
these may have been touched upon
incidentally. but their principal de-
mand was that the president extend
pardon to the men whom they called
political prisoners"-that is. to those
who are serving terms because as
anti-Americans they ran afoul of the
laws of the land.
First, they asked for the. release of
Mooney, serving time for throwing a
bomb into a preparedness parade in
San Francisco, resulting in the death
of several people. Moneys case has
run the gamut of the courts and of
the executive pardoning power, and
those charged with the enforcement of
the law have been convinced of his
guilt.
They demanded the release of Debs,
whose offense in violating the espion-
age act, they argue, was no greater
than the offenses committed by capi-
talistic profteers during the war. Yet
it is a matter of record that Debs
used his influence as a radical leader
to obstruct the draft, admitted it in
open court and gloried in his attitude.
To condone his offense would be to
set at naught the laws enacted for
the national defense.
The committee, it is stated, also
desires the release of three local men
who are serving terms in prison for
"seditious conspiracy" In short, they
wish the president to declare a gen
eral amnesty for those prisoners of
the Berger Mooney brand, who
have been caught in the laws net.
This they construe to be the cause OF
organized labor"
1t is the duty of conservative and
sensible labor organizations promptly
and emphatically to repudiate the de-
mands of the Seattle committee. Vio-
lations of law is not in labor's pro-
grom; there is nothing in common
between the sterling. sturdy, intelli-
gent workers of the United States
and the anti-Americans who seek to
tear down and destroy the institutions
of freedom. The former include the
men who answered the call to the
cclors and went to France to fight the
nations battles; the latter are made
up of the men who Jagged at home
obstructing the nation in its war pre-
parations.
Once and for all organized labor
should cut loose from the bolshevist1c
malcontents who are using the unions
merely as a shield for their anti
American propaganda. Many of the
stronger and more conservative or
ganizations already have publicly
gone on record against the /. w. w
