CALIFORNIA WOBDLIES
GETAK KNOCKOUT BLOW
SACRAMENTO COURT FoRBlDs
CARRYING OUT CRIMINAL
AND DlSLoYAL DOCTRINES.

The Industrial Workers of the
World in California certainly received
. blow last month at the hands of the
superior court Of Sacramento that
will go far toward putting that in
famous organization out of business
in that state. A large number of
"wobblies' were arrested under the
California criminal syndicalism law,
which is similar to the Idaho law, and
in the complaint filed by the district
attorney the court was asked to issue
an order injoining the l. w. w. as an
organization, its members individually
and all others in any way affiliated
with them from carrying out or advo-
eating the teachings of the organiza-
ton in conflict with the laws of the
state of California. The court issued
the injunction order a copy of which
has been received by J. d. Foster, of
this city captain of the state con-
stabulary, who has accomplished
much toward Kidding north Idaho of
the /. w. w menace. The order is
sweeping and in it's practical effect
means that every man caught with
red card comes within it's scope. The
meat of the injunction is contained in
the following extract:
