“Seize industries,”
Urges the I. W. W.
in a Secret Circular
Chicago—Seizure of the Nation’s in
dustries by the “militant, class con
scious, aggressive workers” is urged in
a secret circular just issued by the
“G; 15. B.” (General Executive Board')
of the Industrial Workers* of the
World, now in session at thsir head
quarters here.
The “Wabblies” regard the docu
ment as their reply to the recent af
firmation by the Supreme Court of the
prison sentences given forty-six of
their leaders. The pamphlet makes
particular reiteration of the “forcible
seizure1' principle which the Federal
courts held seditious. The circular
follows,*-in part: •
“The capitalists are our present mas
ters by reason of their ownership and
control of the industries, thereby con
trolling the means of life of the whole
nation. The working class caD become
masters of themselves only by taking
the industries away from the capitalists
and operating them for us instead of
profit. To accomplish this they must
be organized industrially on the eco
nomic field.”
District Attorney Clyne said:
“ Wsbave- been expecting that the
.Reds would take every, advantage of
the present industrial depression to
spread their pernicious doctrines. The
Government is watching them closely,
however.”
