notes
Title from item or accompanying material.
The broadside includes the seal of the Industrial Workers of the World at the top and there is a small logo at the bottom that reads: Typographical Lawrence Union Label.
The content of this document is authored by the City Central Committee #20 I.W.W. Many public officials (Municipal Judge Frederick N. Chandler, Congressman William S. Knox, Fr. James T. O’Reilly, Charles E. Bradley, Mayor Scanlon, and Rev. Lovejoy) are quoted comparing the strikers to anarchists and worse. “These inflammatory and incendiary remarks were directed against the INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD, and the growth of socialism in Lawrence.” The rest of the text refers to the conditions of the workers, low wages and long hours, the virtues of the IWW, and threats that if any member of the IWW were injured or killed, these people (members of the status quo listed above) would be held responsible.
