LAKE CHARLES, LA., Feb. 23.--The grand jury ofBeauregard Parish made its report Saturday to the Court sit-ting at DeRidder. It was expected that there might be some-thing of live interest in the report rplative to the deportationof the strike leaders at lierryville the past week, as some ofthose deported had complained that the law had been violat-ed in the methods employed.

Speaking on this point the grand jury said that althoughthere was evidence of some transgoessions of the law, theywere of such nature that the individual blame could not beplaced.

The grand jury said that such violations as these were,x\cre made by irresponsible persons.

Judge Overton talked to a States correspondent over the.,hone from DeRidder, saying that there was no evidence of

impending trouble at lMerryville or elsewhere in the timbersection. that he believed the report had been much exaggerat-ed in the itianv reports sent out concerning recent affairsthere."

From the New Orleans Daily States of Feb. 23, r913."The Courts are their own indictment."-The Coming

Nation. And so are "(;rand urics" and sheriffs and Gover-no,•, and so is all capitalist society.

Neither the American-Press, the Daily States, or The(',onling Nation are I. W. W. papers. The States is the organof the un-Reformed adn "unterrified Democracy" of New Or-leans, and the American-Press is the mouthpiece of the Saw-lust Ring of old "Imperial Calcasieu;" nevertheless, the

statements above made prove everything The Lumberjack andThe Rebel have alleged against the "imported citizenry of\lerrvville," and worse. From their own mouths are they con-

dlemfldl. A more lawless gang of highbinders was never as-embIlhced in the name of "law and order" at any place at any

time anywhere on earth."VAGABONDAGE?"

"I agalhondagKE." is it, for a Labor Union to feed its mem-l'er.s ,out on strike.? A "crime" which must be abolished evenif "respectable citizens" must take "the law, so to speak, dintheir own hands." and violate rights older than organized so-cietv itselt. Well, if the UNITED UNIONS let you putthis aTcros, if they don't make vagahonds of you we are badlymistaken in our ;opinion of their fighting qualities.

"SA IOTA(; E?""The lands upoln which these people have been staying on,

it is said, was not their property, and therefore the citizens andmill people felt justified in ordering them to move on." Neith-cl were these lands the property of the "citizens" or the "millpeople," so, thus "law and order" "justifies itself?" Learnitosl your laters, 0() e workers, ve who have built the worldand, all its treasure, vet have no property, not even enoughlnd on which to place a soup kitchen to feed your hungrychildren! Learn, you.vcagabonds, LEARN! Behold! theytlemselves prove to you every declaration of the I. W. WV.Learn from your masters! "Do unto others as they do unto\u." ( ve worke'r., ye who are 'agahondsr in the u rorld yourlabor built from jungle wild and desert sands! Learn fromyour masters! Learn, you Vagabonds!

A LIE.'"T'hc Union forces have" NOT "slowly but surely lost

ground from the beginning of the strike," and, the very factthat the Santa Fe-Association Ring resorted to the shameless' iolence it did, proves this statement a lie. Not only is thisstatement a lie, but the further statement that "there are 8oonon-union men at work in the two mills and planer of the Am-crican L,umber Co." is also a barefaced lie. I ess than yo scabswent to work on the day preceding the "deportations" andpart of these w\ere detectives.

Far fromn: being a failure, the "handful" of U'nion men anditheir brave and splendid w\\omen had the Assassinhund w\hip-ped to a standstill, and this shameless violence was the last des-

perate act of the BIund to break the spirit of the workers anddrive them back into the mills, as the latest news coming from"Ierrvville proves beyond the shadow of doubt, but the mag-nifiicent answer given old Scab-herder Smith by ourColored"ll//ow Io',rkers: "We belong to the I won't work in a strike

kind of co,,ns," and the heroic resistence of the Rebel l'omenrof the II'orking South shows that they have played their cardsin 'aini . l(:ubs nor Dinnamonds are trumps this time--it isHi,'arts and Spade5.

SO?"A week ago," 'you say, "things were hot in .lerryville.

It was then the citi.zens and .American Lumber Company up-on whose ground (another barefaced lie) most of the unionmen remained, so it is stated, dedided upon the plan of oust-ing those who wi're d''eemed disloyal." Disloyal" to a P'lun-dcrhund, traitors to t lighbinders! -

Over all, remember, is organization on the job. Read"War-What For?" by Fellow Worker Doree on this page.Read it and re?read, and read it again and again. Organizeyour class into the ONE BIG UNION and the Assassinbundoff the earth. That way, and that way alone, lies freedomfor the workers.

"WAR-WHAT FOR?"--- o--~-

By E. F. Doree.The other night as I stepped from the platform a worker ap-

proached me and said: "That was the truth yqu told, and ifsomething isn't done there is going to be a war.?'

How many men, working men, have made that same state-ment? How many times have you mentioned the word"War," or "Gun," or something else closely ralative in con-nection with this struggle in society?

I dare say that if the I. W. W. would go pn record as astanding army and would call for volunteer soldiers that wecould recruit one-half or more of the workers in this country.Yet they do not join an economic organization. Why?

Do you like to kill others? Do you like to die yourself?.Or why do you talk war. Quit reading now, and THIN K.

Do you like better conditions? Do you like more wages?Do you like fewer hours of labor? Would you like to holdthe management of industry in your hands? If so, these be-ing the objects of the I. W. W., why don't you join?

You say that you would lose your job. You say that youwould starve. You say your family would have to suffer hard-ships in periods of unemployment and strikes, etc. You saythat you would be evicted from your (?) homes.

Let use see, could you go to war and keep your job, or feedyourself and family? Could you be at home to protect yourfamily, and are you sure that you could prevent your enemyfrom burning your wife's home while you were at war?

Would it not be possible that you and your family wouldhe forced to endure hardships?

Now suppose the war you speak of lasts five years and youwon, what would you have? Can you answer? Then sup-pose you lost, then what would you have?

In either event you would go, with rifle on your shoulder, -through the swamps, on half rations, sleeping on the ground,possibly losing your life, either from exposure or shot, andthen you would have, in the end, accomplished nothing, forSou larked e'duration upon which to build society.

You speak of war when there is no need of war. Theworking class can win hands down if organized. You, theworkers, feeds and clothes and houses all society. When youcease to feed and clothe and house society then society getscold and hungry. In case of war the workers would have toproduce all the munitions of war, not only for themselves, butfot their enemies.

W\hv should you produce guns and cartridlges for vyourenemy? If you did not they could not fight, for your enemy,the capitalist, the soldier, the militia man, and gu'lman. do

,Eot produ':e anything. So, if you don't want to get hurt, quitmaking guns and putting them in their hands.

1To fight you must he organizcd, guns or no, guns.The I. W. XV. is an organization tl'at is organizing the

workers on the job; in other words, we get at our enemies' baseof supplies; even in war this is considered the finest strategy.We are organizing at the point of production, to control thatwhich we produce. In other words, we intend to beat the bosss) bad he can't fight,, without exposing ourselves more thanwe have to.

This, we, the I. W. W., asks you to do; take one-half ofthe risks of war to aid in organizing the workers into the OneBig ('nion. If you must, go half as hungry as you would onwar rations, sleep occasionally in the woods, hike to the camp,and, if need be, run half the chances of getting killed that vyo•would in war. I)on't sit by the fire and ta!k war. Go out andorganize the workers at the point of production, and cut offthe off the bosses' hase of supplics, and yu have him licked,and the world i. yours.

Join the i. W. W., and get others to, join. Elducate themto their interests, which is not war and death, hut organiza-tion and life, and more of it. We need no, war; there will heni, \?•r. WVe need organlizati ,n ,,f Iall the workers. llelp Ipr-ganliZ e themn. When you quit talking wa;r and talk common(I'

"One of the largest timber land dealswhich has been closed in years was an-nounced Saturday by M. L. Flieshel ofFullerton, La., one of the prominentlumber manufacturers and operators ofthe State. It is the purchase of 100,000acres of pine lands in the vicinity ofSt. Andrew Bay, Florida, and the con-sideration for the tract was $1,200,000.hT epurehasers are Mr. Fleishel andSam .T. Carpenter. president of the Tre-nont and Gulf Lumber Company, alarure corporation which owns and op-erateR mills at Fulerton, Stables andseveral other points in the pine belt ofWe.stern Louisiana. The Tremont andGulf Railway also is owned by this cor-poration. Mr. Carpenter is president ofthe Yellow Pine Manufacturer's Asso-ciation, which meets here in its annualconvention Feb. 11-13, inclusive. He isone of the most prominent lumbermenof the South.

Organization is Power

The I. W. W. PreambleThe working class and the employing class have nothing in common.SThere can he no peace so long as hunger and want are found among mil-

lions of working people, and the few, who make up the employing class,have all the good things of life.

Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the Aworld organize as a class, take possession of the earth and the machinery ?of production, and abolish the wage system.

We find that the centering of the management of industries into fewer 9and fewer hands makes the trade unions unable to cope with the ever-grow-ing power of the employing class. The trade unions foster a state of affairswhich allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workersin the sane 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 in common with their em-ployers.

These conditions can be changed and the interest of the working classupheld only by an organization fcrmcd in such a way that all its membersin any one industry, or in all industries if necessary, cease work whenever astrike or lockout is on in any derartmnent thereof, thus making an injury toone an injury to all.

Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day'swork," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abo-lition of the wage system."

It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capital-ism. The army of production must be organized, not only for the everydaystruggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalismshall have been overthrown. By organizing industrially we are forming thestructure of the new society within the shell of the old.

To Al Members.A --0---Pay no money to any one for Dues or Assessments unless a stamp is

placed on your membership book therefor. The stamp is your only receiptfor Dues and Assessments, and your only evidence that you are a memberof the Union. Unless your book is correctly stamped up to date. you willnot be recognized as a Union member, either in the Southern or Western

** District. All Local Secretaries have, or should have, on hand a supply ofstamps. Insist that your book be stamped for every time you pay or havepaid your Dues and Assessments. A book is the only evidence you haveSpaid your Initiation fee.

This notice is issued because the General Organization and its LocalUnions have lost hundreds of dollars thru the members failing to insist that

SSecretaries place dues and assessment stamps in their book at the time pay-ment was made. Cease this loose method. Demand a book when you pay 4your Initiation fee and a stamp every time you pay Dues and Assessments.
