Outlaws By Own Zl dmission
———
(From The Portlanl Telegram.)
In Washington the atate authorities
have taken rigorous hold on the
I. W. W. problem. They have taken
a military grip on the situation and
have made the leaders, pending the
threatened three-state r trike, virtually
pr soners of war. It is a new move
and the outcome of it may be some-
wh..l a matter of conjecture.
It has been the apparent hope that
the influence of the Industrial Work
ers of the World, as potential to the
BerioLS disturbances of industry was
rig igible. By the utterances of the
literature and the street speaking
representatives of this organization it
stands indicted in the public judgment
as an outlaw. Its stock in trade has
been vicious abuse of all law, of all
existing institutions, of all religion, of
every thing that makes for social
stability.
To have accepted the organization at
its word, as expressed by these
agencies, should have meant its sup
pression as a seditious influence even
in time i f peace. It seems to have
been the general belief that there was
too much common sense ai d sound
principle in the great body of
American citizenship to give any
serious force and effect to the violent
mouthing« and the trouble making
labors of the I. W. W. leaders and
agents.
If, however this organization be-
gins to show the power its leaders
claim for it, there should be r.o hes
itancy to deal with it as its outlaw
protestation deserves. The time is
here when we should cease to be len
ient with enemies within; and aboye
all, it will not do to equivocate with
them as if we were afraid of the dam
age they might do.
MARRIAGE ALONE IS
NOT DRAFT EXCUSE
Wilson Not Expected To
Modify Rigid Rulings
Made By the War
Office.
Washington, Aug. 21 —If there is to
be anj' modificatien of the present rigid
rulings of the provost marshal general
regarding exemptions of married men
from draft, it is known only to Presi
dent Wilson, who ali.ne has authority
to alter or modify those regulations.
The war departmerit so far, basing
its rulings on what it interprets as the
intention of congress in passing the
draft law, has gone on the theory that
a man's exemption was based on a con
dition of dependency, rather than on
the mere condition of marriage. The
department still holds to that view
and will urge it upon the president.
Today there was no intimation from
any official source that the president
intends to modify the rulli gs of the
war office.
