IT IS QUITE TRUE THAT:—

The I.W.W.' means business. So does the N.Z. Employers’ Ass’n. The a’ioove are about the only two militant organisations, of national scope, in N.Z. Only one will be represented at the July Congress. The latter will be but a semibourgeois reform outfit. All such movements are, in the last analysis, reactionary. A militant member of the Farmers’ Union advocates deportation of militant unionists and soap-box agitators. Deportation of militants would result in arrangements being made by the Industrial Workers of the WORLD, for the influx of two agitators for each one deported. f The I.W.W. has a counter for every move made by fat. “Searching sabotage” would prove a powerful argument in educating the N Z. and Australian co>v-thumpers. t Many of the latter are “strong i’ th’ arm and weak i’ th’ ’ead.”

A little of the above tactic, judiciously appiied by nomad proletarians, would prove as electric in driving farmer-scabs “back to the land” as does ginger in driving a worn-out horse to the sale.

The attitude of the I.W.W. to the small farmer is rather one of sympathy than otherwise because the latter are overworked and much exploited.

It is witheld, however, from strike-breakers.

We congratulate the Australian Branch of the I.W.W. on their decision to hold the first convention.

A preliminary educational campaign, towards real Industrial Unionism, is sorely needed south of the line.

The personal attacks and innuendos directed against the members of the 1.W.W., don’t cut any ice with intelligent slaves.

The meal-ticket is a powerful factor in moulding the theories of many labour leaders.

It should be hats off to the rebel boys who are fighting Conscription,

If we had any country to defend, we would prefer to fight alongside a hundred of the P.R.U. boys, than in the company of a thousand of the moral weaklings who have meekly submitted to the military yoke.

No. 3 of tne Repeal , the monthly organ of the PLUCKY REBELS’UNION, published in CH. CH., is up to the mark, and should be supported by all workingmen.

Rurpour says, that a constable who was known to have been particularly active with the baton in tne Waihi Strike, found that his household effects had been delivered in two widely distant parts of N.Z., when removing recently.

That all “Johns” are laughing over the incident.

Quite a classic literature already exists upon the subject of sabotage.

No branch of industry has yet been discovered where the searching tactic has not been applied with phenomenal success.

If the boss should happen to read down this column, he should, by the time he reaches this paragraph, have a vague feeling, that we are after his hide
