True Purport of Those Arrests in Winnipeg Riot
The article argues eleven men were arrested not for leading a strike but for planning a nationwide revolution using organized labor as a shield. It accuses Bolshevik influence and a secret committee of cutting hydro power to Winnipeg, linking arrests to sedition and treason to avert a broader revolt. It defends the actions as protecting the city and organized labor.
