Frank Little Calls for Good Agitators to Come to Fresno
From the Industrial Worker of July 30, 1910:
A HORSE AND WAGON AGITATOR.
[-by FW Frank Little]
FRESNO, Cal., July 23.-To the Editor of I. W.-Am back in Fresno, and will take up the work of organizing the ranch employes and packing house employees. Will start out with horse and wagon and travel from ranch to ranch, holding meetings in all of the small towns. But we are up against a hard fight. The masters will do all in their power to keep us from organizing the slaves. The A. F. of L. is going to try to organize, and, of course, the masters will aid them to defeat the I. W. W., and they have the money to put their labor fakirs in the field, while the few of us who are trying to build up the I. W. W. have to depend on working for a master to make a jungle stake.
I have been sick for some time, but will get out and hustle now. I will try and hustle some subs for the Worker on my trip.
Now is the time for work in this valley. I. W. W. men can get work and we need some good job agitators to get out in the fruit country and get control of the boss and make the masters raise the wages; and also build up the organization. It can be done if all of us will get in and hustle.
So, fellow workers, let us keep the work going. Yours for action,
F. H. LITTLE.
