Bisbee daily review., 1919-08-10

"The l. w. w. Hooked into the
 Warren District In the summer
 of 1917 for the purpose of caus-
 ing trouble in the mines"
 Their so-called strike was
 not a strike, but a revolution
 aimed at the overthrow of the
 United States government at
 war"
 ''No vote was taken on the
 strike-it was called by about six
 of the I. w. w. leaders. Had a
 vote been taken, less than 20 per
 cent of the men in the mines
 would have voted in favor of a
 walk out"
 Decent labor was not only
 satisfied with working conditions
 in the district, but was anxious
 to accomplish the utmost in the
 production of war copper"
 ''When the limits of tolerance
 had been reached, decent labor,
 by due process of law, removed
 the |. w. w. trouble-makers from
 the district"
 By doing this, labor not only
 made possible a maximum pro-
 auction of copper needed by the
 American boys at the war front,
 but undoubtedly saved the War
 ren District from. reign of in-
 limitation and violence, incIud-
 ing bloodshed and heavy loss of
 property and life"
 Thus underground men of the
 Bisbee mines put the so-caIIed
 deportations across. Without
 these miners it would have been
 impossible to rid the district of
 the l. w. w. menace" th
 If you should ask C. K. Jacobson of Bisbee, for eleven years a miner in the Warren District. and one of the men now facing charges of kid naping in the courts of Cochise coun- ty for his participation in the de portations," the above is the pitb of what he will tell you. And Jacobson voices the sentiment of 99 per cent of both miners and citizens in the district t
 Jacobson is in a position to know whereof he speaks, for it was he who made a man-to-man canvass of the district at the time of the I. w. w. strike back in> 1917, and found a re- markable unanimity of sentiment among the miners in favor of remain ing at work; it was he who sent a l telegram to Charles H. Mover, presi- dent of the Western Federation of | Miners, and received in reply an em- phatic assurance that the I. W. w. | strike in the Risbee mines was mot by any bonafide organiza- ton of labor; it was he who pleaded strenuously, but in vain, with the radicals against calling the strike: and he, finally. who induced large numbers of the men to brave the threats of the l. w. W. and return -o work after the strike had been ,alled
 |. w. w. Labor's Greatest Foe.
 From extensive first-hand experi- 'nce with the I. W. w and it's meth 'ds of violence in California, Jacob lon knew the breed For years A lnion miner, he recognized the I. w ". as organized labor's greatest foe. 1e was working in the Southwest haft in the Warren District when. fin he early summer of 1917, he scented rouble from afar Shortly after the United States 'ntered the great war. and began ending American boys overseas to ace death on the battle feild. every lobo in the country seemed to start locking into the Warren District. 1" avs Jacobson. They were men who lad never worked if they could help |, and who never would work.

 This was the purpose of the alien [ orde of I. w. w. intruders-an alien z orde which included many Germans ' nd Austrians.
