w. A. Townsend who described him

d. Haywood, chief of the I. w. w
who fled to Russia, testified:
That during the war 400 I. w. w
members worked in the large Chicago
packing houses and as inspectors,
passed spoiled canned goods with the
intention of poisoning soldiers over
seas. Nails were also driven so as to
permit air to enter the containers and
spoil the contents, he said.
That under the direction of Hay
wood he enlisted eleven times be-
tween 1909 and 1919 in various units
of the United States fighting forces
His Instructions, he said, from Hay
wood, were to spread discomfort
among the soldiers and sailors.
Plot to Capture Industries.
That the I. w. w. had evolved a
nation wide plot to capture the indus
tries of the country during the war
and had made plans for coping with
a civil war that was expected to fol-
low.
That his work in the army and the
navy, was part of this plan, quoting
Haywood as saying: TT is important
to control Uncle Sans gunner"
That in 1917 plot to blow up the
railroads was framed, and six I. w. w.
members obtained responsible posi-
lions "on the inside" to assist in the
plans. Townsend said his arrest by the
department of justice frustrated the
plans.
That since the passage of the Grim
inal syndicalism laws by many states,
the I. w. w. has discontinued to teach
direct action" by printed literature.
but still ccrries on its teachings by
word of mouth"
Townsend. who claimed to have
been a member OF the general organ
ization committee I. w w. during the
war said he quit the 1. w. w. be-
cause he became convinced its prac-
tees were wrong"

Ean .zation were in Sacramento attend
ing the trial, a squad of detectives
raided n resort late last night and

is FIELD FOR AUTO BANDITS.
Car Thefts Numerous in Winfield and
Cowley County.

Winfield, Kan, Oct. 25.--Car thefts'
are increasing at an alarming rate"
in this vicinity, according to officers.
No less than a dozen machines disap-
peared in Cowley county in the past
few weeks and tire and accessory
thefts are nightly occurrences, they
say. Another indication that auto
thieves find this part of the state a
fertile field is the fact that Chief of
Police Hoover, of Winfield, has cards
from officials of surrounding towns
reporting hundreds of cars stolen. The
chief has indexed these cards as to
brands of the machines and a recent
tabulation shows % varieties reported
missing.
