W.. was the speaker at the members' forum of the Chamber of Commerce yesterdav. "Three-Fingered Jack" Is the sobriquet by which he has been known for 20 years, and his presentation of the in dustrial situation was & revelation that held the close interest of the cham ber membership. He told them that his knowledge of the subject upon which he has cen tered his effort has been acquired from association with the lower strata of society: that he had sensed the feel ing of the "under dog" in the struggle for a livelihood and bears unon his body 11 scars of bullet or knife in flicted in combat. Having induced 26,000 holders of membership cards in the I. W. W. to surrender them to him to be destroyed because they had mis understood its underlying principles, th Tword of accomplishment made his opinions and recommendations worthy of attention.
