Letters Show Plans for Carry
ing on Sabotage to Curtail
Production of Food
stuffs. (By Associated Tret.)
Chicago, May 20. Details of the
operations of the Industrial Workers
of the World in the wheat and oil
fields of the middle west states were
revealed today when government at
torneys read numerous letters from
the correspondence files of Forrest
Edwards, secretary and treasurer of
the agricultural workers' organization
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, No. 400, at . the trial of 112
members of the body before Federal
Judge Landis. '
This branch is considered one of the
largest and most powerful unions of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
At one time, it is said, it had an en
rollment of 20,000 members, and, ac
cording to the charges made by the
government, its members put into ef
fect a score or more forms of -sabotage
to curtail the production of foodr
stuffs and supplies.
The letters showed that large sum's
"were expended by the organization in
flooding the middle west states with
Industrial Workers of the World lit
erature, pamphlets' on sabotage and
manifestoes.
Disclosed by Letters.
One letter disclosed the fact that
the Ondustrial Workers of the World
last July negotiated with the Farm
ers Nonpartisan league of North Da
kota for a wage scale agreement. The
league offered farm workers $4.50 a
day, but the proposition was rejected
because the Industrial Workers of
the World demanded $5 a day as the
minimum wage. '
In one of the official bulletins, men
tion was made that the defense of In
dustrial Workers of the World-in the
state of Washington had tpst the or
ganization $23,000.
An extract from one of the official
Industrial Workers of the World bul
letins read in part:
"The anti-Industrial Workers of the
World bill in Minnesota has passed
both houses and is now up to the gov
ernor. We wonder if it will work in
Minnesota."
Feeding Cream to the "Cat."
The methods used by the Industrial
Workers of the World in farm strikes
were described in a letter written by
Thomas O'Day, Aneta, N. D., to Ed
wards, as follows:
"There are now about five 'wobs'
in town and we have been doing all
we can to keep scabs off the job. We
picket every train. Quite a few 'wobs'
on -the job with the 'cat." Three of us
hired out to John for $3 with the in
tention of (striking for $4 the next
day. The 'cat', then came and stayed
till we struck. Still on strike, feeding
the 'cat' rich cream." . "
An article in Solidarity, an Indus
trial Workers of the World publica
tion, signed by Edwards, was read in
part: .
"Some day our organization will be
more powerful than the state. When
that time comes they will open jail
doors and release all labor agitators."
vorce in district court. Mr. Swanson
filed a cross petition, alleging cruelty.
Mrs. Swanson moved to Kansas
City, leaving her husband, and ob
tained a final decree May 9, 1918.
Final hearing of the suit filed in
Omaha came up in Judge Day's court
and in the absence of the wife the
decree was handed to -the husband.
C. W. Peasinger, attorney for Mrs.
Swanson, argued that the local court
was without jurisdiction owing toNhe
divorce already having been given
Mrs.. Swanson, but the court decided
otherwise and each now are in pos
session of a decree.
"I guess they are well divorced now
and there can't be ,rnuch complaint,'
said Judge Day, "nor any argument
as to who is entitled to. the decree."

(By Associated Press.)
Waukesha, Wis., May 20. The trial of Grace Lusk for the
slaying of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts was halted late this aft
ernoon by Judge Martin Lueck, while he ordered drastic action
looking toward the prosecution in Cook county, Illinois, of Dr.
David A. Roberts.
This action came ajthe result of revelations drawn from
the former state veterinarian under a severe cross-examination
regarding his relations with Miss Lusk and of many meetings in
Chicago, where they registered as "man and wife," Dr. Roberts
admitting that he had paid their hotel bills.

CHAPTER III.
Real Thing War.
Now indeed we bagn to get real
news of the war. We heard ,of how
that little British army, had flung it
self into the maw of the Hun. I
came to know something of the
glories of the retreat from'Mons, and
how French and British had turned
at the Marne and had saved Paris.
But, alas, I heard too of how many
brave men had died had been sacri
fied, many and many a man of them,
to the failure of Britain to prepare.-
That was past and done. . What
had been wrong was being mended
now. Better, indeed ah, thousand
times better! had Britain given heed
to Lord Roberts, when he preached
the gospel of readiness and prayed
his countrymen to. prepare for the
war that he in his wisdom had fore
seen. But it was easier now to look
into the future.
I could see, as all the world was be
ginning to see, that,this war was not
like other wars. Lord Kitchener had
said that Britain must make rsady for
a three-year war, and I, for one, be
lieved him when others scoffed, and
said he was talking so to make the re
cruits for his armies come faster to
the colors. I could see- that this war
might last for years. And it was then,
back in 114, in the first winter of the
war, that I began to' warn my friends
in America that they might veil ex
pect the Hun to drag them into the
war before its end. And I made up
my mind that I must beg Americans
who would listen to me to prepare.
V Aft.- t
Alter 'announcing tnat action m
Wisconsin was impossible because the
statute of limitations directs that such
prosecution must be begun within one
year from the time of the alleged of
fense. Judge Lueck called D. J. Hem
lock, a member of the bar, before
him and said:
"I direct you to communicate with
proper authorities in Chicago and
urge upon them immediate action
looking toward the prosecution of Dr.
Roberts because of the offenses he has
here today admitted committing in
that city."
Hoyne Glad to Prosecute.
Mr. Hemlock immediately tele
phoned Macklay Hoyne, states' attor
ney, Chicago, who said that he would
be glad to prosecute if the facts justi
fied and requested that all evidence be
sent to him at once. Judge Lueck
complied with this request tonight.
Action against Dr. Roberts by the
federal government also was hinted
by' W; H. Stoiner, special Investigator
for the Department of, Justice, who
was called to the witness stand by
the state early in the afternoon.
Dr. Roberts was temporarily ex
cused to permit the taking of Stciner's
testimonv, which dealt with a state
ment he had obtained from Miss Lusk
in the hospital a few days after the
tragedy. He said he asked Miss Lusk
if she realized what she had done and
that she replied:
"Yes, I do I killed her because she
called me such obscene names."
Roberts Center of Interest.
For more than six hours Dr. Rob
erts was the center of interest of the
crowds that packed Uhe court room.
During his third day on the witness
stand he repealed his charges that
Miss Lusk had pursued him with her
attentions.
Much of his testimony concerned
meetings with her in Chicago. Finally
he admitted giving her money, paying
herjiotel bills and giving her railroad
fare from Chicago to Milwaukee.
During the morning session of the
trial a dramatic moment came when
Dr. A. P. Lusk, the 72-year-old father
of the defendant, interrupted Dr. Rob
erts' testimony with the cry, "that is
a lie."

I spoke, in every town we visited, on

BILLION AND

FOR WARSHIPS
Naval Appropriation Bill Com
pleted by Committee and,
Ready to Be Reported
to Senate.
(By Aiworiated PrtM.)
Washington, May 20. Carrying a
total of $1,587,000,000 or $202,840,000
more than provided by the house, the
naval appropriation bill was com
pleted late today oy the senate naval
committee and will be reported to the
senate tomorrow. The measure's
total is $63,053,127 less than was ap
propriated for the navy for this fiscal
year in the' regular naval bill and in
deficiency measures.
' The senate committer redrafted, to
make niore emphatic, the provision in
the house bill for the beginning of
the work on the three-year building
program by July, 1919. Construction
of the great fleet of superdread
naughts and battle cruisers prpvided
for in the 1916 naval bill has been held
in abeyance in order that the building
of the destroyers to battle German
submarines might be rushed.
To man the capital fleet when it is
completed, the senate provided for a
permanent increase in the enlisted
personnel of the navy to 131,540,
nearly thre'e times the number of men
in the navy before the war. The
president also would be authorized to
increase that strength by 50,000 men
for the war.

(Hy Asuorlated PreM.)
Washington, May 20. Even more

patch today from France quotes Aus-tro-Gcrman
newspapers as saying that
at a recent conference in Vienna oiv
the situation, it developed that food

ficient only to feed Hungary and the

will not endanger resistance of the

Germania, it does not succeed in hid

"We have never been optimistic, but
our pessimism was not great enough."
In an effort to improve the serious
meat situation, the German military
authorities have decided to requisi
