Char acterising the "representative citlsens" of San Diego, who were members of the "vigilantes" that drove the Indus trial Workers of the World from that city, as guilty of mors lawless acts, greater brutality and more flagrant violation of the Constitution than those whom they sought to suppress. Colonel Harris Weinstock. special commission er appointed by Governor Johnson to Investigate the conditions In San Diego, In his report today urged the prosecu tion of the "vigilantes." Immedlstely with the receipt of Com missioner "Welnatoclrs report Governor Johnson conferred with the Attorney General's office with a view to Inter fering aa recommended in the report. No statement aa to what procedure would be followed was made by the Governor or his conferees tonight, but It Is rumored that action as suggested by Commissioner Weinstock will be commenced soon. Utter la Crttlrtaed. Commissioner Weinstock scathingly arraigns District Attorney Vtley, of San Diego, Jn his report, declaring that Utley haa not done his duty and that It is Impossible for tne wrnngea per sons to obtain redress at his hands. The commissioner also condemna the Industrial Workers of the World, who. he says, are composed of a lawless class recruited from European coun tries. Extensive Investigation was un dertaken by Colonel Weinstock in preparing his report, which la a volum lnoua document. He interviewed many members of the Industrial Workers and says. In effect, that he found that their alms for the most part seemed to be to cause disturbances with the least expenditure of energy. Many acts of wanton cruelty are re cited by Commissioner Weinstock, of which the Industrial Workers of the World were the victims. Rights Declared Violated. "I have 'been In Russia," he says, "but once during the taking of testi mony at San Diego I wondered wheth er I were not again In that country. The vigilantes have trampled upon the constitutional rights of other men and proved themselves the bitterest en emies of law and order." Though the commissioner does not countenance the Industrial Workers of the World's methods, he ssys that they had employed only peaceful methods toward gaining their extraordinary end. and that though 200 of them had been arrested, not a weapon of any kind had been found on them. Contrasting the offenses, he calls at tention to the fact that the most ex treme penalty for the crimes commit ted "by these alleged outcasts." Is not to exceed .8500 fine or 30 days In the City Jail, or both. Whereas, the crimes committed by the members of the vigil antes are punishable by a fine of 2500 and possible Imprisonment for 10 years; and men convicted of such of fense under the law are declared unfit and Ineligible to hold any office, or place of honor, or trust created by the Constitution or laws of the United States." Workers' Objects Told. Giving the result of his Investiga tions as to the objects of the Indus trial Workers of the World the report continues: A That workmen are to use any and all tactics that will get the results sought with ths least possible expedl ture of time and energy. B The question of right or wrong is not to be considered. C -The avenging sword Is to be un sheathed with all hearts resolved on victory or death. D The workmen Is to help himself when the proper time comes. E No agreement with an employer of labor is to be considered by the worker as sscred or Inviolable. F The worker Is to produce Inferior goods and kill time in getting tools repaired and in attending to repair work; all by a silent understanding. G The worker Is to look forward to the day when he will confiscate the factories and drive out the owners. H The worker is to get ready to cause National Industrial paralysis, with the view of confiscating all In dustries, meanwhile taking forcible possession of all things that he may need. I Strikers are to disobey and treat with contempt all judicial Injunctions. He finds also that they went to San Diego In an evident intention to try to break up the trades unions, and that they deliberately disobeyed a city or dinance concerning street-speaking. That ordinance permitted atreet-speak-lng only within certain aections. Sub sequent to this defiance of the ordi nance, although all other classes of street speakers were permitted to spesk In sections reserved for such purpose, that privilege was entirely withdrawn from the Industrial Work ers of the World, and Commissioner Weinstock holds that this waa a viola tion of the right of free speech.
