Fresno, California – I. W. W. Declares Free Speech Fight Re-opened
From the Spokane Industrial Worker of November 24, 1910:

COUNTY INSTITUTIONS TO HAVE THANKSGIVING
TURKEY FEASTS

School Children of Fowler Send 1-2 Ton
Fruit to County Orphanage.
——-
Jail Prisoners Only Ones Who Will
Not Taste Turkey and Pie
——-Thanksgiving cheer will gladden the hearts of the inmates of the various county institutions tomorrow, all excepting tho prisoners in the county jail. Visions of the voluntary incarceration of the I. W. W. “martyrs” still afflict the officers in charge of “La Maison Fresno” and they strenuously deny any attempt to make jail life attractive with the garnishings of the American holiday. So if any prisoners partake of turkey it will be through the instrumentality of “Kangaroo Court,” the co-operative fund established by the prisoners, or through the assistance of friends…..
