Organize Against New Terror
(From an Editorial in Western Worker)

A LII those who throttled the great Cen
"A eral Strike, before it could get well
under way-the Vandeleurs, Caseys and
Co-are now shouting that "it was a mis-
take to call the General Strike; it was
bound to fail"
Such dishonesty and hypocrisy are inevitable
weapons of such men, who stand at the head of
trade unions but who carry out the policy Of the
workers worst enemies of Luckenback Feischs ECKER,
and the whole California branch of Wall Street
Such must be driven from the ranks of labor
1t just the General Strike-even crippled as
it was because headed by men who are its enemies
which brought to every one partial realization of
the power of labor
1t was the General Strike which proved that
victory is right in the hands of the workers if
they only stand fast. This victory is despite be-
traya of the General Strike, closer than ever for
the battling marine workers. 1t was brought closer
by the General Strike.
Workers. be warned! All this talk against the
General Strike is only to help the shpowners
prepare another blow. Behind all the talk of con-
Citation and arbitration, the capitalists are prepar-
ing worse violence against the marine strike prep
airing to break the trade unions to open the port
by force.
Workers, we must be prepared to defend our
rights and demands by all means. That means
also, to prepare to all capitalist violence
both the legal and illegal kindly resuming the
General Strike and by mass action of tens of thou
sands of workers.
Victory belongs to the heroic marine workers
1t is a victory for the whole working class Do not
allow any violence or trickery to rob us of it!
WORKERS, the daily press tells you that you are
ted and cir T2rt Sc
only hope to defeat you by those means Not only
is victory within your grasp, but you are being
joined every day by thousands of allies of
fellow workers fighting the same battle You are
not alone! In Portland, where our enemies ex-
pected to break through the strike lines by pro-
claiming the lie that Frisco is defeated they
have dsmally failed. Portland workers are stand
ing solid. Indeed they move forward and answer
the calling out of the militia to open the port. by
themselves calling a Portland General Strike
Seattle is also moving steadily and surely in the
same direction. All over the country millions of
workers are rallying to our support and to defend
their own interests. Frisco workers do not stand
alone; they are at the head of an arising working
class in all America!
THE Frisco capitalists while talking arbitration
are acting through their police and private hired
thugs with violent destructive raids against work
ers' headquarters clubs anG Offices They burn
Gown the printing plant of the Western Worker
They smash typewriters, pianos furniture They
destroy workers newspapers, pamphlets, leafielS
and books. They beat up and arrest 300 workers
including Harry Jackson organizer of the Marine
Workers Industrial Union. Last week thew shot
dead two of OUR fellow workers
IneSe violent attacks paid for and ordered
by the capitalists They carried out by the
yellow ours like Rossi Quinn, and their hired thugs
The purpose is to smash the strike and all trade
unioniSm.
They hit the Communists first because they hope
