Lumber Workers Defense Fund.
T'o all members and sympathizers of Union Labor:
Fellow-worker James Donovan was shot through the head at Bonner on June 17th, while on picket duty and now
li 4s at the hospital unconscious and at the point of death. The five pickets, Davenport, Ford, Tellyer, Parish and
' niphecll were with him and were arrested and an attempt is being made to fasten the blame of this affair on
th'emr. But as Donovan was shot on the left side and the company lumber yard fence was on that side, it is far more
prhahle that he was shot by a gunman on the inside of the fence.
An attempt will be made to railroad these -men and it is up to us to prevent this. It is absolutely necessary to
' have funds for the legal defense of these men. STRIKE COMMITTEE, Box 912, Missoula, Mont.

The Strike.
By ('OVINGOTON IHALL.
Say what ye will, ye owls of night,
The strike uphoihls the cause of right;
The strike comrpels the king to pause,
The stat',smien to remold the laws.
Say what ye will, yet, without ruth,
The strike drives home the bitter truth;
The strike tears ,ff the mask of things,
To asi., and el' . the issue brings.
Say what ye will. the strike is good:
It clea;rs things long misunderstood:
It j.jltk the social mind awake:
It forces mlien a stand to take.
Say what ye. will. all else above,
'l'he strike is war for bread and love;
FI'r raiuiinent. shelter, freedom. all,
The humaan race can justice call.

Water ,Supply Cut of From
Homes of Patterson Strikers.
PATERSON, N. J., July 12.
l'aterson's silk mill workers' strike de
veloped serious complications to-day
with the suspension of the water supply
in houses of hundreds of idle families.
Many landlords have shut off the water,
the situation in many sections is acute.
Hlcalth authorities fear an epidemic.
The above dispatch shows that capi
talism has not only gone gold-insane but
is rotten to the core, for, not only does
it suspend all human rights over the he
roic strikers, but it endangers whole
cities with disease and plagues in order
to force its rebellous workers back to
peon wages and condtions in its indus
trial hells.
The 1. W. W. is the only power that
can successfully balk the beast of capi
talisin of its prey. It is up to every
iuemlber of the fighting union to back
the Paterson rebels to the limit of their
resources. 1)0 IT NOW, TO-DAY'.
South Africa Shaken
Since our last issue press dispatches
state that a tremendous labor upheval
has o.ccurred in the city of Johannes
burg, S. A., and the gold mines sur
rounding it. Numbers of workmen were
woundled and over 100 killed by Bri
tian's hessian troops, but the workers
pra.tically, it seems, held possession of
the city until they forced the ghouls of
gold to come to terms.
The fighting, the dispatches state, was
started by the "authorities" and police
trying to prohibit public meetings under
an old absolute D)utch law, which was
plase',l in the reign of Charles the First.
who-. by the way. was reigning when the
Paterson. N. J., 1'. S. A. law against
"unlaw\ful assenmbly" was passed, and
u hose ".sacred" head was finally
chopped off for his monkeying with the
uizznsaw of rebellion.
ElEdward Bellamy has said that the
capitalist cla.ss. like all other rulinuz
las,,es. learned nothing from history.
Yes. Flornc. . it begins to look that way.

Our New Name.
With this issue The Lumberjack
changes its name to THE VOICE OF
TIHE PEOPLE.
This was made necessary by the fact
that the name "The Lumberjack" led
many to believe that the news and
propaganda of the paper was confined
enitrely to the Lumber Industry, and
this tended to hurt sales and prevent a
wide rircnlation, which ;s abrolutely
necessary to the maintenance of a rebel
paper.
The ownership, editorship and all re
mains as heretofore; nothing has been
changed but the name.
l)espite the fact that we started the
paper under a handicap and have been
founght by every "machine" around us,
it has made a remarkable record and we
will soon he self-sustaining, and without
advertisements, if our fellow-rebels will
rally to its support and boost it out of
the present tight place.
The policy .will be as heretofore, free,
scrappy and open-forum-like.
Our motto shall be the same; "Let
the priests and preachers have heaven,
send the politicians to purgatory, give
the capitalists hell and take the earth
for the workers." You can see us once
a week as long as we last, and we are
Ltetting tuffer every day. at the rates
printed in our mastheadl.
We solicit the support of all the good
friends who, have stood by ns in the past
to help its double our subscription list
within the next sixty days so that we
may carry the great message of the I.
W. W. still farther into t11he jungles of
the South.
The change in name is tmade with the
consnt if the Soutthern District ExecIu
tive T,,oard and that of Secretary .Jay
Snith as well.
Yours for Industrial Freedom.
