The I. W. W. Its Plans and Methods
ANY Omohans are asking in
some wonderment, "Who are
the L W. W.'s."
It is only within a few
days that the Ilk has become
of local concern, although the
existence of ths organization has been
known since It became nationally prom
inent in connection with the strike In
the wool mills at Lawrenoe, Mais.
"I. W. W." Is "short" for Industrial
Workers of the World, an organization
that came Into existence In MM, when
Its first national convention was held
In Chicago, with about fifty delegates
in attendance, It purports to be the last
word of labor organizations, but o far
Its leaders have been unable to obtain
any recognition from the bona fide labor
organizations of America, lly the real
trade unionists, the I. (W. W. crowd
Is referred to as the "I Won't Works,"
or the "Wonder Workers."
Tho I. W. W. has a definite program,
patterned after the syndicalists' of
France. It Is very simple; reduced to Its
easiest terms, being merely that the
worker Is to become also the owner of
the means of production. They are not
satisfied with the socialist program of
communal ownership of means of pro
duction and transportation; the workers
are also to be the owners, the capita
lists and the laborers at the same time.

Two ways of accomplishing this are
open: One Is to buy out the present
owners, the other is to make the busi
ness of producing so unprofitable that
the owners will give up in disgust, and
turn the business over to the workers.
As the first requires larxe canltal to
achieve its purpose, while the second
requires none, the second has been
chosen by the I. W. W. propogandlsts.
They propose merely to bring about a
condition under which no capitalist can
conduct any sort of business at a profit.
tnus anving all capital out of business,
and leaving the factories, the stores,
the railroads, the telegraph and tale
phone lines, the mines and the mills,
the farms and the elevators, and all
other means of production or distri
bution to tho proletariat
This condition can be brought about
In two ways, to both of which the L
W. W, are pledged. The perpetual strike
is one way. No strike is ever settled, aa.
cording to the I. W. W. law: no aaree-
ment made with an employer Is ever
binding. No matter what the outcome of
a strike, the resumption of work is merely
a preiuae to another strike; thus by In
cessant turmoil the patience of the m.
ployer Is exhausted, his courage sapped
ana nis capital dissipated. When work
is resumed. It has a double advantage to
the worker, In that it gives him an oppor
tunity to accumulate further funds for
his support In the next strike, and also
permits him to put into practice the
gentle art of "sabotage," or proceed by
uircci action.

this incident suggested an idea, and the
practice has since been known as "sabot

cidedly mellifluous word to designate
practices as diabolical as any ever devised
by fiends incarnate. Oscar Ameriwrer.
a well known socialist, has furnished th.
mot picturesque, terse and comprehensive
oerimuon or the term now called to mind,

shop, for example, a little carbollo add

ishes the "boss," and helps out the "com

taurant many ways can be found to drive
customers to another place. On the rail
roads the game works wonderfully well,
aa wltneit the experience In France at the
time of the general strike there; cars
were loaded, waybllled and made up Into
trains, and then sent anywhere but to

kept' traveling for days and weeks around
the railway systems. Shipments were not
only delayed, much perishable property
being thus destroyed, but both the rail
roads and the shippers lost money, while
the workmen drew in wages Just as much
tor this tangling up of business as though
they were faithfully performing their
duties.
Other Illustrations of sabotage or "di
rect action" might be cited, but these will
serve to show the purpose of the advo
cates of syndicalism, which simply means
a glgantlo union of all workers Into one
great comprehending organization, and
which Is represented In America by the
Industrial Workers of the World.
The Industrial "workers of the World
wars on trades unionism as vindictively us
It does on capitalism; It denoJnc.es :hii
trade unions as obsolete and Ineffective,
and It rounds on socialism as timid and
Impractical. It has found Its grcutest
following In this country among the un
skilled workers, who do not get tlw ad
vantages that come to the skilled work
ers because of the unions among tin
crafts, and among the unsrganlzed em
ployes of the great ind'U.)! plant r,

World to get their great flowlng at
Lawrence, at Little Falls, N. T

J. In the west they have .not as
yet succeeded In bringing about any
marked industrial disturbance, although
their "crusades" for "free speech" at
Spokane, San Diego and other places
Slave brought them some little attention.
Over the country from -ast to west, thev

Trades union leaders recognise In the
movement a distinct danger, for they
