THE I. W. W.
A suspicion is gaining ground in New Zealand that the aspirations of the Labour Federation are shaping in the direction of those of the ''lndustrial Workers of the World." The I.W;W., it may be mentioned, is an American organisation, and is said to preach that "workmen ,:ire to use any and all of the tactics that will get the- results 'Sought with the least possible expenditure of time or energy. The question of right or wrong is not considered. No agreement with an employer of labour is to be considered by the worker as sacred' or inviolable. The worker is to produce inferior goods and kill time in getting tools repaired; nnd in attending to repair work; all bv a silent understanding. The worker is to look forward to the day when he will confiscate the' factories and drive out the owners. The worker is to get ready to cause industrial paralvsvs. with a view of confiscating nil industries, meanwhile taking forcible possession of all things that he may need. Strikers are to disobey and to treat with contempt all judicial injunctions."
