QU1CT AT CAMPS All was quiet last week at the logging camps on the Tillamook line. Sheriff Applegate went to Cochran, Thursday, and remain ed until Saturday afternoon. There was evidence of organiza tion by th 1. W. W., but no damage was attempted. The sherilf procured a lot of their literature. Their constitution asks for the obliteration of the employing classes in all lines of production and manufacture. While their propaganda calls for an 8-hour day with the loggers, their desire is as above stated. One of their songs tells gleefully of wrecking a threshing machine, and also tells of an I. W. W. leaving a burr off a wagon which he had greased, causing a frac tured hip for the rancher. Con trol of all output of whatsoever nature is their ultimate idea. They justify sabotage as a means of causing a revolution. Their literature is of interest in show ing just what is the crux of their propaganda. HANS P. HOIHR Hans P.
