The dutios of these officials are of prime impa nce and the regulations prescribe competent men, limiting the registration to local hoards d 1- aried attaches. Failing that rrange- ment, preference should be given men who acted tr last June wherever the board is insuifi- cient. The work detailed to trars and registrars and interpreters as well is considered in the light of «a patriotic duty by the government. With such understanding the govern- ment expects local bhoards to secure persons outside their own number who will srve without compen: ion, if additional helpe: are needed. Tach local board's registrars will attend to the registration of each man wha presents himself on Regi: tration Day. Those who must regi ter are all men whose 21st birthday was reached after June 5, 1917, or on or before June 5, 1918. Bach chief registrar will be in charge of the reg- istration at the place to which he is assigned. He receives from the local board and distributes to the registrars blank registration cards, certificates and other necessary forms, and copies of the registration regulations. Tt will be his duty to see that every regis- trant learns that he s subject to the terms, provisions and Habilities of the Selective Service regulations. At the close of registration he will receive all cards and certificates from the registrars. He will prepare a re- port stating the number of persons registered and the names of those who served without compensation. Without delay, he will go to the office of the local board, delivering regis- tration cards and remaining certifi- cates at the same time. A member of the local board will give receipt to each report received from a chief strar. When a chief registrar is chairman of the local board he will retain the cards and his report, re- pairing to the board’s office to receive reports and cards from other chief registrars. Reglstration Places to Be Provided. The first duty of registrars is to prepare places for registration. Be- fore assuming their functions they must take the oath of office in the event they are not members of the board. Reglstrars must fam- iliarize themselves thoroughly with the registration regulations, the ques- cards and thc character required. the time Chiet gather national regi val chief regis- of answers Prior to of registration, | registrars must place tables and other cquipment in readiness for the begin- ning of registration at 7 a. m. on registration day. “How to Answ Questions on Registration Cards” is the title of a placard, copies of which must be posted in conspicuous places where they should be seen and read before registrants go to the booth or table. Registrars are asked to show pa- tience in their explanation of regi tration questions where answers are not given readily or properly. Dis- cussion must be avoided. If the reg- istrant is sullen or inclined to falsify, evade or refuse to answer, the reg- istrar is directed to call his attention to the law which imposes a penalty of imprisonment for such conduct. Persons who persist in delaying the registration by such attitude shall have their names taken by the regi tars witnesses called and after e plaining the penalty of the law, the offending person will be ziven full op- portunity to reconsider. Such case will be reported to the chief regis trar who will report the case to local board or United States district attorney. Any registrar who fails to report such cases fails in his sworn duty and becomes liable as a misde- meanant. Must Answer Ten Questions, There are ten questions to be filled out on tho registration card. The card must then be turned over and the registrar report filled When this is done the registrar ask the persons registering to verify his answers, to affinm the truth of them and the Tegistrant will then sign the vard. If (he registrant can- not sign his name he may make ‘his mark, Cards made out for persons of African must have the marked corner detached. If the registrar thinks any of the persons answers are incorrect or false he must note which and in what re spect on the blank spaces left after the registrar's certificate, and whether there are any entries to make or not. the registrar must then sign the card. After all the above steps have been taken the Tegistration blue certificate mwust be prepared and handed to the registrant. Every registration certifi- cate must have on its reverse side the stamp of the local board. The regula- tions provided that at meal howrs where there is only one registrar he shall arrange to have his meals at the place of registration. When there is more than one registrar, at least one registrar will remain on duty at all times, At the close of the day the registrar counts his reglstration cards and cer- tificates and delivers them together with unused certificates to the chief registrar, taking his receipt therefor. a descent HAD NO DRAFT CARD.

TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1918. L W. W, IS WORLD'S | GREATEST MENACE, Labor Organization Threatens Maximum War Production (By The ¢ Hamilton Kendall.) atriotic prominence attained tion know as the Industrial Workers of the World has startled every pa- triotic, home-loving, God-fearing citi- zen of the United States-—yet a great majority of the great American pub- lie are grossly unfamiliar with the scope and ultimate purposes of that revolutionary element in our indus- trial life. As a worker in the lumber camp: of Washington for the past few . 1 have touched elbows with them, have, through personal contact and intimate ¢ tion become thor- oughly familiar with the aims, ideals, methods of applying the most sacred weapon of the organization, sabotage, and the insensaie, unreasoning, deep- seated hatred every I. W. W. holds toward the present form of govern- ment. and disturbing by the organiza- ssoci In writing this article 1 took into consideration the possibility of criti- cism and charges of mis-statements, and T assure the reader that this com- prehensive analysis of the greatest menace in America today, as great a menace, as real a menace and as far reaching menace as the Imperial German War Lord, is conservative. There is no exaggeration in this statement, in every district where this outlaw” organization dominates— the populace know-—-believe me, they know that no evil could strike a more paralyzing blow to law, order, decency and liberty than this anarchistic, God hating, law detesting band of mal- contents. In considering the T. W. W., it is first of all necessary to understand their fundamental principal—the em- ployer must go Tt is equaly neces- sary to understand that their word, agreement or contract is worthless— they frankly and officially announce as much. An employver dealing with an ordinary union may come to jerms with the organization for a definite time and be certain that the terms of agreement will be faithfully complied with. The reverse is the policy of the I. W. W. To agree with them as to wages, hours working conditions today does not insure the employer against a strike tomorrow. and if he is not confronted by a strike he will have to contend with systematic sabotage. organized loafing and in- genious methods of causing him finan- cial loss, No matter how high the wages, how short the day or how pleasant the working conditions—the I. W. W. is the relentless enemy of the employver. Nothing save the ex- termination of the emplover and over- throw of judicial and legislative gov- ernment will satisfy him. The 1. W. W. is literally a revolu- tionary organization which had its|{ inception in Chicago in 1904, when a group of radical labor leaders, under ty. editor of the official organ, and Clarence J. Smith, general secretary- treasurer of the American Labor U ion, formed the organization by a combination of the Western Federa- tion of Miners, the United Metal ‘Workers, the American Labor Union and the Socialist Trade and Labor Al- liance. The brilllant Debs was a warm sup- porter of the embryo organization and for some time after the Chicago convention made stirring appeals to his radical adherents to join the “One Big Union.”” However, the party lead- ers became entangled in bitter con- troversies and in 1905 the Western Federation of Miners withdre: and yvears later the Soclalists and conservatives announced their dissolu- tion of interests. The radicals opened up headquarters in Detroit and called the new radical branch the Detroit L w. W. The two organizations, though practically synonomous so far as principles are concerned, have been bitter, implacable enemies. A deep- seated antipathy between both radi- cal orders and the socialist party, the “Legitimate Trade Unions,” and the present form of government has pre- vailed since the forming of the two branches of the 1. W. W. A perusal of the I. W. W. platform (Preamble) is sufficient to convince the most skeptical observer that the organization is founded on principles with tendencies bordering on anarch- ism, as the following excerpts will il- lustrate: The working class and the employ- ing class have nothing in common; beween these two a struggle must go on until the workers of the world or- zanize as a class, take possession of the earth and the machine of pro- duction and abolish the wage system moreover—the trade unions aid the employing class into believing that the working have interests in com- mon with their employer.”” * * * “In. stead of the conservative motto: fair day’s work and a fair day's pay we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, ‘“abolition of the wage system.” According to the I. W. W. the em- ployer, no matter if a .corporation, farmer, contractor, or peanut vendor —if an employer, rich or poor, he has ceased to be a necessity in industrial or social life and is merely a super- fluous parasite. They point out that any lasting agreement between em- ployer and employe is impossible. In principle of the I. W. W. is that: “Arbitration and permanent settle- ment cannot be countenanced by the organization.” They declare there is no ‘“good employer,” they all look alike—there can be no peaceful pur- suit of employment, no truce for the employer or soclety, nothing but re- lentless warfare through sabotage and strike till the present form of gov- ernment is overthrown. Ir the latter part of April, Mr. Belmont, a prominent I. 1918, W. W, speaker and organizer addressing a propaganda- meeting in Seattle, after a passionate plea to his radical hear- ers not to forsake the application of sabctage anytime, boldly and with dramatic elocution, remarked: “The United Srates is the most uncivilized nation in the world today,” “our civi- lization is below that of the Igorrote heaa hunters of the Philippine Tslands." A few da 1iter Mayor Olc Hanson, the fearless patriotic mayor of Seattle, and Chief of Police Joe Warren decided the time had come to call a halt and raided the I. W. W. hal] arresting 213 members. Chief Warren put a padlock on the door and at this writing it is still there. The [. W. W. members were taken to the police station and rched, the officers finding over §5.- 000 in their wallets, but not a single Liberty Bond or Red Cross button. This factor appeared significant to me and I interrogated a score of genuine 1. W. W. members as to their Unpatriotic attitude toward the gov- ernment in this critical time of need. The replies were not ambiguous in any instance, there \w no attempt to conceal thelr radical anti-govern- ment senthments, “we recognize no country. and no flag but the “red flug.” Why should we loan money to our enemy. The present form of gov- ernment is simply a haven and pro- tection for the capitalists, and the fact of the matter is the capitalists are the governiment and we hate the cupitalis therefore we would be crazy to loan money to the govern- ment we are trying to overthrow.” Ano I can truthfully and conse tively say that every genuine I. W. W. cwphatically carrles the same senti- ments in his heart. The 1. W. W. are “direct action- ists” (so called because they do not Lelieve in the ballot to overthrow the present form of government but rely wholly on the power of systematic botage and strike to gain that end. They do not believe in a congress, president, legislature, governor or court, or in any form of law making or law enforcement as provided by the constitution, but would control ane rule by direct action referendum anc no individual would hold a more suthoritative position than the most menial worker. I will now define the most cher- ished and damnable doctrine of ihe 1. W. W., “sabotage,” that is respon- sible in a great degree for the par- tial failure of the airplane program: Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the noted I. W. W. agitator, describes sabotage under several heads, the principal among which are: “Adulteration The slowing down of work: The gen- eral reduction of efficiency: Placing kerosene in ovens to make food un- fit; Tntimidation, Coercion and any means necessary to gain the end. In a fur factory in Philadelphia, before stopping work the cutfers were in- structed to alter the size of the pat- terns on which the fur coats had to be made. Every cutter followed this “dvice and reduced by one-third of an inch all patterns he could lay his Fsnds on. (Page 99 Sabotage.) S) rgo, a noted authority, writes in rt Of course the sabotage ersily extended—a little dust Lezrings, especially emer would do much. oap in boilers would retard the development of steam-—judicially planned accidents might easily cost the employer far nore than a slight increase in wages. ‘Keep this up,’ it was urged, ‘and in a short time the employer will be on bis knees.’ “Any conscious and wilful act on the part of one or more workers, in- tended to slacken and reduce the out- put of production . any skillful operation on the machinery of pro- idea in was) the dust, duction intended not to destroy it, but } to temporarily disable it and put it out of running condition. Sabateurs are the Kclgireurs, the scouts of class struggle.” Posquet, after a bitter denuncia- tion of the present systems, says: “The simple stoppage of work not sufficient to realize the aims of a sirike—it is necessary—indeed inde- spensable that the tools, instruments, utensils, machines and other means of production of shop, mill, mine, or foctory—also go on strike, or in other words that they be put in a non- running condition.” Vincent St. John, a high I. W. W. official and author of “The History Structure and Methods of the I. W. W., declares “As a revolutionary the I. W. W. aim to u tactics that will get results sought . the tactics used are determined solely by the power of the organiza- ticn to make good their use—the question of right and wrong does not cencern us.” Vincent St. John never wrote a more direct, bell-ringing truth in his life, the 1. W. W. have unquestionably demonstrated from one end of the country to the other that they do not hesitate over rixht and wrong, and habitually following the line of least resistance they gen- erally uphold “wrong.” In the woods they systematically cut logs too short oi too long, cut wire rope, put emery dvst and sand in bearings, loaf on the job, and periodically strike in a manner keep the employer in a constant state of ‘“nerves” and to compel products, the the employer as much trouble financial loss as possible. In the mines, mills and farms every means of slowing up production and of har- assing the omployer is taken instant and paralyzing advantage of. In the fruit districts of Washington the I. W. W. workers studiously pinched fingernail holes in fruit, and every other ingenious method they could successfully employ, and, escape de- tection. Tn the wheat balt of Wash- ington they flatfootedly made the direst of threats, demanding un- reasonable pay and short hours :and declaring they would make good their intimidation, i. e., to strike, terrorize and cause the harvest to “rot on the ground,” and all this in war time. however prompt action of govern- ment and state oMcials prevented the t'e-up. The I. W. W. has declared, ani siill openly boasts, that its purpose— to stamp out Individually, and to erase the laws of private property of any sort, whether of land, monsy. mental attainment, or manual skill organization auny and all to object being to cause and is | a minimum output of timler | ¥ wW.

Common sense dictates that c intelligence, if enthroned over an articulate multitude, soon degene into tyrannical misuse of powe it would be impossible ta find a striking illustration of this fact than the demonstrated progress and mili- tant action of the I.

W. W. can be summed up in the following con- cise analysis of the present methods and ultimate objects of that reaction- ary body.

W. leaders advo cated the invasion of the “legitimate” organizations to obtain control of them in future strikes. 1 think that move will prove a failure, at least during the war, for organized labor is proving its patriatism by both word and deed in a striking and commend- able manner. The T. W. W. today dominate with job control several of the largest lum- ber camps in Washington. Thousands of these social enemies are scattered in every industrial center of the state On the Atlantic Seaboard they are be- coming a potential factor in the grent industries connected with the prose- cution ef the war, and the metal mines of the West are honeyvcombed with these seditious foes of our common- Wwealth. They openly advocate, brazen- ly, and T regret to sav, without com- punction, sabotage in war industries, according to I. W. W. members. Boiled down in a nutshell, it is about time for the respectable, patriotic, God-fearing citizens of this country to arise in their might and stamp out this curse, and if we are to win this war, the sooner drastic legislation is passed to curb this band of social pirates, the better Citizens of the United States! The winning or losing of the war depends on maximum production in war indus- try. The I. W. W. jeopardize ma mum production—therefore, menace the life of the nation. When an allen proves himself to be disloval, we in- tern him for the duration of the war. Should we coddle the I. W. W.? POLICE COURT ITEMS.
