Nichols' and Ben Brown's,where I had business to attend to withthem, and others. Went to L. Strick-land's Hotel and was standing on theporch talking to "Dad" Strickland,when a mob of 50 or more came to meand asked me what "business I hadthere?" Dr. Knight was the spokesmanfor the bunch. He says: "You have gotto leave town. We don't want you here;

if you don't leave we will kill you andif you ever come back to this town wewill kill you."

I was caught by a man by the nameof Geo. McGee, handled roughly by one

of the Company's hired Sluggers. Theyall marched me up the R. R. and told meto walk to Neale, which is 6 miles fromMerryville, La., and catch the train. I,of course, walked that distance, with areturn ticket in my pocket.

PROBLE MOF ORGANIZING THE LOGGERS.----- o-----

The Lumnber Industry is a basic Industry and the bestplace to start organizing it is in the Logging camps.

After a Local of Lumber Workers has been organizeda Local organizer should be put into the field, the old excuse,we can't do it, or we haven't got the money in the treasury,won't do; we must do all in our power to organize the Lum-ber Workers. General Organizer Speed points out that aLocal can not afford to be without an organizer.

If you can get an organizer who is a speaker, let him takea small roll of blankets, a bundle of literature, applications,books, stamps, and a fountain pen; start out and take in acamp every night, if possible; pick out the largest bunk house,or some central place in the camp, and then go through all ofthe bunk houses and invite all of the boys to the meeting;make a short constructive talk; the following are a few goodnotes:

Conditions in the Camps and Mills.Reasons Why the I. W. W. is Organizing.Form of Organization of the I. W. W.Tactics of the Lumber Barons.Organization of Y. M. C. A. and A. F. of L.Tactics of the I. W. W.Victories of the I. W. W., Montana, Goldfield, Law-

rence, etc.Final Aim of the I. W. XAIf you can't get a speaker for an organizer, pick out areliable and popular Logger, and have him canvass all of the

men in the camps; in case the camp is hostile, go into thecamp after supper and leave before breakfast, but, of course,the organizer must use his own judgment in most cases.Camp Delegates.

When some of our members hear of the camp delegatesystem, they say, "Yes, yes, that's what we want; we don'tneed any organizer." They don't seem to realize that thenext thing is to get some one to act as camp delegate. TheSecretary and organizer should have the authority to appointcamp delegates. All camp delegates should send in a reportto the local each month, and should receive a'financial reportfrom the Secretary each month. All letters from the Secre-tary to the members in the camps, and to the camp delegatesshould be encouraging.

Secretaries.Much depends upon the Secretary,. and there must he co-pceration between the Organizer and Secretary. The Secre-

tarv can assist the Organizer by urging unemployvcd loggersto go to work in certain camps, and thus help to get controlr)f the camps.

,Letters can he written to men in the camps who areknown to have some common sense, and have influence amongthe men, such as popular hook tenders, good cooks, etc.

Dangerous Soai, Boxers. An organizer or speaker should ailways he given a chance

) make good. Dangerous soap boxers wvho knock evevthintr1on't use good judgment and don't explain the principles ofhe T. XV. XV. and the National U'nion, and should bhe dis-harged or transferred to some mixed Local.

District and National Organizers.District and National Organizers should visit the Localsnd assist them:•also start new Locals in unorganized terri-

ory. TI. r town chosen for the headquarters must he the hangut for the Lumber Workers of that District. The mailingist of the T. XV. XV. and revolutionarv papers, is a great,elp to any Organizcer. Before an Organizer leavens a newLocal, he should try to develop a militant active majority to

iandle the affairs of the Iocal.Picnics. Smokers, Mass .lcetines.

Christmas is a good time to hold a few Smnokers, anrd 4thf lulv is a good time to hold picnics and mass mcretir .speakers should address the workers in different languarge.

,Wage Scalec.It has been throvwn ,p to the T. XV. XV. that we are troublenakcr, and Io out on strike for nothintr. T'i) avoidt this it i~siCt to fget up a \vage scale for every district: if it is printcld

n attractive style it can he used for propaganda.Saw Mfills.

A syvtematic distrihution of I. XVt. W .W er and literal-ure should he carried on among the caw mill workers: the re-uilt may be a spontaneus stike and a foundation for organiatron.

THE "GOOD CITIZEN'S LEAGUE."

MY I MY ! What a noise these wonderful ITS called"Good Citizen Leaguers" are making here of late.

Suppose we ask the question, "Who are in the League?"The answer will be Merchants, Lawyers, Doctors, Real Es-tate Agents, Insurance Agents, Professors (?), Gamblers, andP-r-e-a-c-h-e-r-s. Now ask yourself another question. Wheredo these ITS get the money they live on? Do they make it?Do they produce anything? Answer: NO. Where then dothey get the dough to enable them to become Good Citizens?Will you Workers answer the question? From "undesirable"working men. How then can these ITS have the nerve to dosomething that if carried out to their liking would crush thevery men they are dependent on?

I have looked the list of "Good Leaguers" over very care-fully and I only find a few working men real producers. Thesemen, in some instances, arsonly--or have been forced to signtheir-on the list.

The action of these parasites should convince all workingmen that their.emancipation will come only through theirown efforts.

Let us analyze the situation. 36 months ago there was nopower among the working men in and around DeRidder.Wages ran from $I.25 up (and not very high up either). Paydays were every 30 days. Other abuses existed, but I onlyuse these two so as to be able to show you clearly where the"Good Citizens' League" comes in.

The Union's demands were many, but among them thesetwo: Pay day every two weeks and a minimum wage of $1.75per day.

Have we gotten these two demands? Yes, and then some.The Company went us one better on the pay days, and gaveus two for every one we asked for. Going some, eh? Now,without the two above concessions, the ITS who have formedthe "Good League" would have suffered, but with them theyare or will be benefited.

Now the point is this. Just as soon as the workers' or-ganization forced the above concession the ITS and I AMSwho live off their labor squealed "Enough." In doing thisthey have admitted that all the use they have for the workersis to use them as a goat, or a tool; to use them to get their wish-es and as soon as this is done squeal "Enough." The workersheeded not their squawk and kept on organizing. Immedi-ately when these ITS saw the workers were no longer submis-sive to their kingly ITS, they set about to force them to sub-mit.

So far this attempt has failed, and, believe me, it is goingto continue to fail.

The report of these ITS that I was hunted for in DeRid-der and could not be found is a lie. I was in DeRidder untilTuesday morning. Furthermore, they were told where I was.I was visited by one of their gum-shoe men and interviewedby him. Also the report that I was to speak in DeRidder lastSunday is a lie, and they know it. I left there above board. Ihad no "guards." All other bosh seen that I was also sup-posed to have said, is not true either. I gave out no statementsand received none.

The organization is going on just the same as ever, "GoodLeaguers" or bad leaguers, JUST THE SAME. Further-more, your threa to kill me doesn't unnerve me in the least. Ionly have this to say: My life is not worth the price you willpay for it.

I understand our boys have begun to use their power andright, and are not trading with you "Good Leaguers." I amglad of this. I would have told every one of them to boycottyou, BUT, the same Court that declared the black list illegal,says no. I am glad the boys have waked up, though, and aretrading with others rather than with their enemies. You can'tblame them.

And the Union is stronger than ever, thank to your in-human deeds. A. L. EMERSON.

oA MATTER OF A GENERATION.

"The general condemnation, from profitmongers, andtheir parasitic lackeys of the press, pulpit and platform, of thelatter d(lay abolitionists who seek to overthrow the viciouslydeath-dealing wage system, does not worry us.

In Vanity Fair, June I4, 186r, a certain Mlr. AugustusSnipes yelped at the heels of Abraham Lincoln in a poem,one verse of which is as follows:

'O we rise as we think onT''hat scamp, Abram LINC('OILN,

That beastly, belligerent Bucker!O we swear all together'o tar and to feather,

Provided we catch him, the Sucker!'D)oubtlessly the present generation of Snipes will be found

"THE BULLPEN"Or the stockade around the plant of the American Lum-

ber Co. at .lerryville, La. The height of the "fence," as theSanta Feians call it, can be easily judged by looking at scab;i cart, whose head barely tops wall. The row of projectionscticking out along top of wall carried live electric wires. Thisis the same stockade that the Capitalist press quoted JudgeOvcrton and District Attorney Edwards as declaring did not;exist, save in the fervid imagination of the strikers and their

',,blicity agent. Inside this stockade were gathered the low-.est of the earth, gunmen, prostitutes, scabs, suckers and blind-tigers, and from it, in alliance with the "Good CitizensLecague,"' poured the brutish mob that was turned loose onthe defenseless Unionists of Merryville. Look at this photo-'graph aga;n. read the sworn statements of outraged workersin tifis and other issues of "The Lumberjack," and ask your-self who is lying when you get your "free" (?) copy of "TheMerrvville News" (?) to whose editor we commend thissentence: "And Judas went and hanged himself."

"Thoughts are the soul of acts-and are worthless inthemselves.

"The sole aim of the so-called education of today is toteach that an idle class is necessary to society.

"Ideas are worthless unless you can realize them; theymust be redeemed and acted before they become of value-you must live them.

"Whatever progress humanity has made toward decency,consiSerateness and justice have been accomplished in spiteof church and state, and not because of them.

"Every onward step from cannibalism, slavery, injustice,was made against the protest of church and state."

Organization is Power

The 1.'W. W. PreambleThe working class and the lyin la-q have nothing in common.

There can be no peace so Ing as htl,2:r and w;nt are found among mil-lions of working people, andi tie few, wht, maake upl, the employing class,have all the good things of life.

Between these two classes a strulggle mutst go, on until the workers of theworld organize as a class, take ipossession of the earth and the machineryof production, and abolish the wage system.

We find that the centering of the managemtlent of indus.rtes into fewerand fewer hands makes the trade unions unable to rope with the ever-grow-ing power of the employing class. The trade unions f•ster a statef affairswhich allows one set of workers to be pittedl against another set of workersin the same industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars More-over, the trade unions aid in employing class to mislead the workers intothe belief that the working class have interests ir, common with their em-ployers.

T'hese conditions c-an he chlannel andl tile intereit of the working classupheld only by an ort, ani/;,tin f,,rm,,ed in such a way that all its niembersin any one indtustry, or in all mti:•itri.s f er. .•ssarv. cease work whenever astrike or lockout is onl in ;my. .i;,trIll; it -!'thor f, tlii, Ill;akimlg an injury toone an ini jry to all.

Thio s notice is issued bhcause the General Orgatnizatiin and its I.,calUnions have lost hundreds of dollars thre the menbers fdiling to insist thatSecretaries place dues and assessment stamps in their book at the time pay-ment was made.
