This has become thoroughly recogn-
lied. Theamodern way of fighting the
workers is to send men in among
them to destroy confidence and faith.
The question now is how to prevent
them.
To kill the possible, the impossible
must be urged, and sane men with
sane Thoughts must be discredited.
When any real struggle can not be
prevented, then the hot-bloods must
be led into such actions as to forfeit
public sympathy. This is the job Of
the provocateur. Temporarily, he ap-
pears as a hero; but he is usually
found to be detective in disguise.
To fill the place of the radical lead
er and the provocatuer the l. w. w.
has come as if sent by the devil him
self. No previous knowledge is re-.

SLAVE LABOR
World Come OF Register
ing Immigrants, De-
clares Frey

Cincinnati The proposal to re-
gister immigrants would place aliens
at the mercy of unscrupulous employ
ers, declares John P. Frey, editor of
the international Molders' Journal.
If the immigrant is in an industrial
community dominated by anti-union
employers he would discover that
trade union sympathy on his part
would be followed by the application
of the law against undesirables, said
the labor editor.
This alien would be made to un-
derstand that ability to earn liveli-
hood depended upon his agreement
with the views of these employers,
and especially with their antagonism
to trade unionism.
Decisions Of the courts as to what
constitutes an undesirable are so
vague and general in character" con-
tinues Editor Frey, "that it would not
be difficult for many courts to find
that trade union activity constitutes
positive evidence of undesirableness.
'The inclusion of registration pro-
vision in the immigration law would
be unfair to the immigrant. 1t would
place a heavy handicap upon him
from the beginning, and it would en-
able employers to hold club over his
head which would operate as con-
slant reminder that in reality this
country is not the home Of the free"
