Abstract |
Letter to Theodore Debs, 11/05/1919. Writes that he would like to convey his sympathy to Theodore Debs over the imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs for his "unequalled loyalty to the working class of the World." Asks that Theodore Debs keep up his courage. Says that there is nothing like "the policeman's club, hunger, the rifle and the bayonet, and Westinghouse automatic shot-guns to clear the cobwebs from the brains of the working-class mules." Assures Theodore Debs that once the working classes get a good dose of these things they will start experimenting with direct action and abandon Samuel Gompers. Expresses the hope that Theodore Debs received the copy of THE LABOR LEADER with his letter in it. |
