g, deportation, prosecution and persecution of the
Industrial Workers of the World is an attack upon every toiler in
America, and we now call attention to the fact that the charges of
incendiarism, the burning of crops and forests and of vicious

remnants of feudal rubbish from the body social, and some of the

issue of April 15, 1919, after printing the word, "Revolution" in
the heaviest type all the way across the paper, publishes an
article on the first page entitled "Terrible Days Ahead in the
United States."

"'The United States is in the grip of a bloody revolution!
Thousands of workers are slaughtered by machine guns in New York
City! Washington is on fire! Industry is at a standstill and
thousands of workers are starving! The government is using the most
