Fresno, California – Fellow Worker Frank Little Leaves Dark Dungeon Cell
From The Fresno Morning Republican of September 9, 1910:
I. W. W. ORDERS LITTLE TO
WORK IN THE PARK
——-
“Martyr” Will Join Gang of Trusties
This Morning; Leaves Dark Cell.
——-
When Park Superintendent Woods takes his gang of trusties from the county jail at 8 o’clock this morning for the regular daily duties in the court house park, F. H. Little, the I. W. W. member, who is serving twenty-five days for disturbing the peace, will be among the workers.
Last night, Secretary W. F. Little of the local order of Industrial Workers of the World, received a telegram from headquarters in Chicago ordering F. H. Little, the “martyr,” to vacate the dark cell in the jail and go to work in the park.
Upon receipt of the telegram, a few members of the local I. W. W. held a conference and concurred in the action. The news was transmitted to “Martyr” Little, who was asked to abide by the action of general headquarters. Twice since his incarceration, F. H. Little has refused to work in the park. Upon his refusal the day jailer put Little on a diet of bread and water in the dark cell for intervals of four days with a square meal on the fifth day.
