The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-08-05

a square deal to the farmer and busi-
ness man alike. Conditions are be-
coming unbearable and it is time to
call halt. .a.
In an endeavor to arouse dissatisfac-
ton among the farmers of this state,
the grain and banking interests of the
Twin Cities formed an organization
composed of thugs and other hang
ers-one in the cities, and the members
of this organization are now at work
throughout the state under the guise
of I. w. WIS. The method followed
is for a few to 60 to each town and
city, ask for exorbitant wages and
short hours and endeavor to poison
the minds of bonifide harvest and
threshing hands.
The plot was discovered too late to
prevent the thugs from doing a lot
of harm, but steps are already being
taken to minimize as much as possi-
BILE the results of their work.
The above from the Stutsman Coun-
ty Press, the nonpartisan organ Of
Stutsman county, is rich indeed. The
bunch of socialists protected by Gov.
Frazier, together with the rank l. w.
WIS ever since the socialists gained
control of the state, have been sowing
the seeds of discord among the labor
ers in the state and melting them not
only to quit their jobs but to destroy
property. Now that the whirlwind
has become so large they cannot con-
troll it and the I. w. WIS are getting
so bold, demanding exorbitant wages
and eight hours, that the farmers of
the state are becoming mad and dis
gusted, so these renegades who are
running these league papers under in
structions from the big boss are now
trying to shift the burden Of grief
upon innocent shoulders. That is the
cowardly way with these Reds. They
start something and when it gets be-
yond their control they lie like horse
thief-just as they have been told to
do-and put the blame on innocent
shoulders. The business men, the
bankers and all other conservative
men have been fighting this menace
for years, but the governor of this
state controlled and voted at will by
Townley, says to the sheriffs and po-
lice officers "do not attempt to stop
this U. w. w. menace or you will be
summarily removed from your Office"
That is what the people of North Da-
kota are up against and against which
all decent citizens have been fighting
for years. The socialist bunch that
have the state in their clutches, are
only part of the red outfit 1--WE are
abiding to the leaders only) that are
devastating Poland. Read the news
from Poland in the daily newspapers.
See what the Trotsky bunch are doing
to those poor people. Townley, Mills
and that bunch belong to the same
class of citizens that are now oppress-
ing Poland and if they make as big
strides in the United States as they
have done in North Dakota and other
states and ever gain control Of this
government that is what is going to
happen to this country. Now they
have the gall to say that decent bust
ness men and people are lot Of thugs
and buns and are putting this job up
on the farmers. This is trying hard
to create discord between town and
country and God knows both the town
and country need each other and
should work together to rid the state
of this menace regardless of party
politics.
