Haywood Defends Sabotage as Public Safety Tool
Chicago reports William D. Haywood asserting sabotage is the working class’s key public safety measure. He argues it protects against adulterated foods and life essentials, criticizes methods like “Altekey Finn” powders, notes arrestees among LWV members, and cites a West Coast general strike pulled back by rank and file. A separate note from Seattle details the launching of the 8000-ton steamer Westport by Ames Shipbuilding, the eighth large vessel looted in 18 months, christened by Miss Margaret Sheldon Ames.
