To all post Officers and members;
T. w WIS At Helm In 1924
The l. W, WIS at Bonners Ferry
built helm of shp and marked the
ship U. S. in red In smaller letters
they wrote, 81. W. w's at the helm
in 1924. .
This thing occurred in our state
within the last three weeks.
The American Legion has always
been opposed to the I. w. WIS and
their teachings.
1t is a problem as to how it should
be handled. 1t, therefore, behooves
us all to give it serious thought. It
may not menace your community, but
it is a state problem that confronts
your bnddies in other parts of Idaho
In their official paper, Industrial
Solidarity" paragraph reads as fol
lows; Cherries will be ready to pick
along the Snake River about the last
of june. Lewiston should be a good
center for work and good place for
delegates to enroll membership.
Another excerpt follows:
"If you are going into Washington,
Oregon or Idaho, see that you hava
credentials, supplies and literature.
The battle is ever to the strong, and
the way to be strong is to enlist an
army of delegates, so that wherever
workers are in the northwest there
shall be our men, to educate and or
ganize thems Take out credentials,
fellow workers. Do it today. Oppor
tunity beckons in the Northwest Let
us heed the signal. Delegates, dele
gates and then more delegates is the
answer. See that you have creden-
tials.
TO combat this evil we must have
an aroused public opinion. <
Give this all the publicity possible,
and bring it to the attention of every |
of your post. II
Yours for the U.S.A. and Idaho, 4
Paul Davis, Amencanism Officer
