nell student, who was introduced
as a "fellow-worker," urged the strikers and their sympathizers to use
every means to free their leaders, even if Paterson had to "starve or go
naked." He said that the lights would be put out in Paterson, and that
the street cars would be tied up, so that Paterson would become a dead
city.

Mohl, who also made his appearance at the silk mills strike in Paterson,
declared on May 18, 1913:

"The American flag is pretty to look at. Its colors are
striking--red, white, and blue, with two or three twinkling stars
here and there, but it is not good to eat."

The I. W. W. is, of course, an atheistic and anti-religious
organization. In the March 1, 1919, issue of "The One Big Union
Monthly," page 40, we read under the caption, "Help Wanted, Male or

you put Mayor Short out of office.' This was the threat on a
postcard addressed to E. J. Stanson, who is trying to secure the
recall of Mayor Short. The card was received today. It was signed
'I. W. W. Alliance for Short.' The police are rounding up all
suspicious characters, and those known to have a leaning toward the
Bolshevists of the I. W. W. Citizens are seeking to oust Short
because he welcomed delegates to a recent 'wobblies' convention
here."

In the latter part of the spring of 1919 the author of "The Red
Conspiracy" obtained at the I. W. W. headquarters in Chicago a leaflet
entitled, "To Colored Workingmen and Women!" Part of it is hereby
