made the concluding statement, in which he said:
 No Flag; No Country; Color
 "The I. w w. recognizes no coun- try, no flag, no color line. They re- spect no flag but the red flag. They would drag us all down to the level of the lowest man. They do not recog- nize defense of ability in men, but would give the unworthy the same privileges for which the worthy have to strive so hard
 Duncan read at length from journals 4f the organization, which were al legged to have stated that mo peace of ficer could be a member of the I. W. w." the uniform of the United States soldier is merely the livery of the 'scab'," and sabotage is a sign of courage
 Tt is a fine example of courage, when some l. w. w. throws phos- phorous bomb into a haystack, and then arranges to be hundreds Of miles away before that bomb ignites." Dun can said. They said that cOnscrip-' tion was q challenge to the working class. Since their organization in 1905, they have been an unlawful conspiracy in restraint of the orderly and prog ressive programs of this government They were asked to mark their claims | for exemption, I w. w., opposed to war They sought to bring about the sort of government that exists in Rus ! sia today. It is that sort of disorder they would have us live under
 Talents Gone Astray
 Miss Theodora Pollok, the only Wom an defendant, was called by Duncan just as disloyal as Bill Haywood. the executive head of the organization" She could have cast her lot with the i United States, when il was sadly in need of her talents" he said, but she chose to cast it with this reasonable, disloyal outfit. She had money to give this I. w. W. organization, but not one cent to give her government"
 In his charge to the jury. United States District Judge r. H. RudlIn of Spokane, who heard the case said:
 The mere fact that these defendants are Industrial Workers of the World should not justify q verdict of guilt The fact that they may be found to be conscientious objectors to war. should not be held against them, in the con sideration of this case. Opinions which they hold in opposition to war, and which undeniably stands alone, are not on evidence of guilt"
 
 43 of the defendants who have spoken no word and have been rnrepresented throughout the trial. Judge Rudkin said that such silence should not be held against them.
 Sing When Convicted
 Miss Theodora Pollok, the only wom- an defendant, was apparently unmoved by the verdict, which was smilingly received by the others. The 43 defend ants who joined in a silent protest, and were not represented by council sang In Union There Is Strength" tC the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic as they filed from the court room.
 Prison terms which may be imposed range from to 20 years, it was said With Miss Pollok, Basile Saffores and A. L. Fox. all of San Francisco were represented at the trial. which began q month ago, by Attorney: Nathan c. Coghlan of San Francisco and Harry Mckee of Fresno.
