Miss Flynn to Hold Meetings in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn is currently on tour on behalf of Mesabi I. W. W. defendants who are charged with first degree murder-we refer our readers to the recent article by Eugene Debs in the International Socialist Review.
Before leaving northern Minnesota, Miss Flynn spoke with Joe Ettor at a meeting in Virginia, Minnesota, where she said:
Tresca, Scarlett, Smith and the others are in jail for your sake, remember them.
She also spoke to the Ministerial association at the Duluth Y. M. C. A. where she declared:
A very large majority of the workers on the iron range are foreigners, and they have no friends except among their kinsmen and fellow-workers. If the American-born people would only co-operate, and enlighten the lives of these poor unfortunates, all these disturbances and misfortunes would be done away with.
