Americans Notoriously Thriftless.

"There is .nothing in the fact of being
children which need cut off our sons

ANTI-UNION EMPLOYERS
BLAMED FOR L . W.
Washington, Oct. .11. In dis
cussing" the recent deportation of
Arizona workers in' the American
Federationist President Gompers
gives this logical answer to, the
question, "Why the'L W.' W.?"
'.'.The responsibility for the ex
istence of the I. W. W. movement
lies with those ' employers who
have rejected ahd( ruthlessly op-;
posed collective bargaining and
who have denied their, employes
the right to ' further their inter
terests in a normal, constructive
manner.
"It is impossible to kill in hu
man beings the desire and the
ambition to aspire to something
better. Indeed: it would be de
lorable if that desire could be
killed. When employers seek to
prevent a natural ,outlet for tkis
desire they , provoke violnce.and
disruption. The 1. W. movement
is a creation of j economic despots
and financial anarchists who op
pose constructive organization of
economic relations. ..After the
copper, kings .of the ' Southwest
have " created and fostered the I.
W. -W movement they, now seek
i to use it as a cloak to disguise its
