" Despite the fact that it is a bare record of
cases, there are many men serving long terms in prison in the United
States for the offense of having in their possession a copy of this
leaflet, "With Drops of Blood." But the readers of this book, being
all of them 100% Americans engaged in learning the technique of
smashing the Reds, will, I feel sure, not be interfered with by the
business men. Also I trust that the business men will not object to
my reprinting a few paragraphs from the leaflet, in order to make
the public realize how dangerously these Reds can write. I will, of
course, not follow their incendiary example and spatter my page with
big drops of imitation blood. I quote:
"We charge that I. W. W. members have been murdered, and mention
here a few of those who have lost their lives:
"Joseph Michalish was shot to death by a mob of so-called citizens.
Michael Hoey was beaten to death in San Diego. Samuel Chinn was so
brutally beaten in the county jail at Spokane, Washington, that he
died from the injuries. Joseph Hillstrom was judicially murdered
within the walls of the penitentiary at Salt Lake City, Utah. Anna
Lopeza, a textile worker, was shot and killed, and two other Fellow
Workers were murdered during the strike at Lawrence, Massachusetts.
