The Thiel agency, with Chicago
headquarters at SO w. Jackson Blvd,
is almost as large as Burns. 1t is one
of the three outstanding agencies
Burns, Thiel and Sherman) who
make a practice of furnishing labor
spies to large corporations. 1t also
maintains an army of armed guards,
gunner and professional strikebreak-
ers.
The usefulness of such law was
discussed many times in the Thiel
headquarters, and in the offices Of
clients. The matter was taken up
with individual members of the state
legislature. One day, Mike Flana-
gan set off for Springfield with S4O,-
600 in his pocket. Shortly afterwards
the law was passed.
Under the White Terror.
The so-called "red raids" marked a
period Of governmental terrorism I'M
paralleled in American history. They
were conceived by Acknowledgement

labor-baiting plutocrats who owned
him. The ground was carefully pre-

In early May, 1919, the newspapers
blazed with accounts of sixteen ex-
plosive packages which were inter
cepted in the post office at New York.
A number Of other bombs had been
sent thru the mails at that time, and
one Of them had actually exploded, in
the house of ex-senator Hardwick OF
Georgia. The whole thing was at
once proclaimed by the police to be "a
gigantic conspiracy by an organized
gang" A hue and cry was raised,
with every now and again a police
assurance to reporters that "the net
tightens" or "the lightning is about
to strike"
The Public Got Weary.
But so much Tightening Of nets and
no fish, and so much thunder with
no lightning, made the public weary.
The sensation had not been dramatic
enough in its staging for lasting
scare, and the futile detective tactics
hurried it on to an anti-climax

terrorized anew by the so-called June

REMOVE c. {. B. IS
INSTRUCTION TO
.I.W..W. DELEGATES
Want New Deal in Drive
to Settle Controversy

Many Of the delegates to the
general convention of the In
dustriaI Workers of the World,
nowmeeting in Emmett Memorial
Hall, have been instructed by
their industrial unions to re-
move all members of the pre-
sent general executive board
of the organization and elect a
new temporary G. {. B. until
the controversy within the or
ganiZation is settled.
This was revealed in yester-
days session.
Effort to Release Delegates.
Joe Jordan, Of I. q. ITO, tried to have
the delegates released from their in
structions on all matters pertaining
to grievances, which included the fac
tional controversy. The chair ruled
this motion out of order on the
grounds that the delegates had no
right to remove the instructions. The
chair, however, was not sustained af-
ter an appeal. Jordan's motion that
instructions on matters Of grievances
be removed was lost.
Debate on Jordan's motion develop
ed that /. U. 44o instructed delegates
to demand an itemized financial
statement of expenditures Of the gen.
eral executive board of the l. w. w.
Delegates for l. u. 120 were instruct
ed to vote to remove the present gen.
eral executive board from Office and
elect temporary G. E. B. until the con-
troversy between the two I. w. w. fac
lions can be thrashed out.
Delegates representing 1. U. 210 and
220 were also instructed to see that
officials belonging to both factions
were temporarily removed from Office
and temporary G. E. B. elected.
The convention, thru the press com
mittee, issued a statement declaring
that tom Doyle claims he gave no
interview to any reporters on this
convention" and stating in part:
1--WE wish to inform the public in
general, that there is no antagonism
among the delegates relative to this
controversy. The convention is going
on in a very orderly manner and is
impartial.
Neither Doyle, Fisher, nor the ex-
ecutive board members have been or
will be shown any partially.
Nor is there any hard feeling among
the delegates. We wish to emphatic
ally deny the allegation that the dele
gates who had come to the Memorial
Hall from the Washington street hall,
had come to 'filibuster, make trouble
and delay proceedings.
1.-THE delegates from all industrial
unions, that are present have agreed
on their respective voting power and
have also set the voting power which
will be granted to the other industrial
unions which have no delegates pres
ent, as yet.
"The convention has gone into per-
manent session and all committees
necessary have been elected. Sessions
will be held daily in the Emmett Mem
orial Hall, except Sundays. The pub
lie in general will be allowed to sit
thru the entire convention"
After prolonged debate, the rules of
the convention were adopted. includ-
ing the rule that two delegates repre-
senting different industrial unions are
required to get a roll call or record
vote before it will be taken.

POLICE PROTECT THE DAILY NEWS

acy of plotters to have escaped de-
lection when most of the detective
agencies Of the country, public and
private, regardless of expense and
frequently Of lawful methods, were
pursuing the perpetrators with tire
less zeal? There is nothing compar.
able to this enigma except the fruit
less efforts of the detectives to fix the
responsibility for the death-dealing ex-
plosion in Wall street, New York,
which occurred at midday more than
a year after the episodes Of May and
June, 1919.
Quite significant too is the attention
given by Mr.. Palmer's general intel
ligence division" to the steel strike
and the coal strike of 1919-a signifl-
canoe which is emphasized by a state
ment in Palmer's official report for
1920, in which he explains his arrests
of agitators and declaring that "altho
their offenses were not crimes, they
were responsible for a considerable
amount Of the industrial and economic
unrest"
10000 Workers Arrested.
Then followed the red raids" in
which over 10000 workers were ar
rested, thousands Of them jailed, and
thousands more deported. Raiding
was carried on with extreme brutality
and disregard of law. In Chicago, the
prosecutions were in charge Of former
States Attorney Maclay Hoyne, the
same man who is now charged with
attempted blackmail in the Freeman
Coal Mining Co. case.
The observant Spolansky writes
naively in the Chicago Daily News
that the red raids" failed somehow
to halt the Communist movement. He
has yet to learn that the movement
cannot be stopped by raids, however,
numerous and ruthlessly carried out.
The Communists are the advance
guard of the working class in its daily
struggles with the bosses, and in its
final struggle for the overthrow of
capitalism. And the working class
movement cannot be stamped out by
arresting individuals on ridiculous
trumped-up charges of conspiracy.
Arrests Did Not Stop.
At the time of the 1920 raids the
Labor Defense Council was not yet in
existence, but it has had occasion to
go thoroly into the frame-up methods
on which they depended.
Arrests of working class leaders
did not stop in 1920. In the summer of
1922, came the brutal arrests at
Bridgeman, Michigan. Only Commu-
nists were involved in the Michigan
cases, but prominent non-Communists.
such as Eugene V. Debs, Roger Bald
win and Rev. John Haynes Holmes raj
lied to their defense. And so the Labor
Defense Council was formed. with Of
fees at 166 w. Washington St.. Chi
cago. That was the starting point
from which the present greatly ex-
tended activities Of the Labor Defense
Council have developed. The council
is now the official defense organiza-
ton for members of the Workers
Party and is collecting funds to be
used in cases in all parts Of the
country.
