you will see that
this fight is your fight.

From the International Socialist Review of January 1918:
“WHERE LIBERTY IS THERE IS MY COUNTRY”
—–
—–
Six of the one hundred and sixty-six socialists and members of the I. W. W. who are indicted on a charge of seditious conspiracy.
Most of the boys are in Cook County or near-by jails as it would take a cash bail of over a million and one-half dollars to secure their liberty.
They belong to the working class and are in jail because they organized and educated the workers to fight for Industrial Democracy.
It will be a class trial. Capitalist interests will demand that these men be convicted and their union legally destroyed. They want the U. S. government to do what their gunmen and governors have failed to do by brute force.
