From Solidarity:
The Joe Hill Edition: “Don’t Waste Anytime Mourning!”
The latest edition of the I. W. W. newspaper, Solidarity, is dedicated to Joe Hill and features the following cartoon, penned by Ralph Chaplin:
According to the cartoon, the firing squad is made up of the five members of the Utah Board of pardons, which includes Governor Spry, Attorney General Barnes, and the three members of the Supreme Court: Chief Justice Straup, and Associate Justices Frick and McCarty. As the money power directs the state-sanctioned murder of Fellow Worker Hill, the rising sun of Organization appears over the prison wall.
Below Chaplin’s drawing is a banner with FW Hill’s farewell message:
Don’t Waste any Time in Mourning-Organize
