[234] Letter dated Nov. 6, 1906, _Miners' Magazine_, Nov. 22, 1906, p. 11. Sherman published another letter in his own defence in the _Miners' Magazine_ of Nov. 1, 1906, pp. 10-11.

This announcement is dated Oct. 5, 1906 and carries the following postscript: "Until we can get charge of the office again we will be unable to furnish local secretaries with due stamps...." p. 1110. [241] Mr. Sherman could not draw the money because the signature of the Secretary-Treasurer was also necessary. [242] These statements are condensed from the report given in the _Industrial Workers of the World Bulletin, No. 4_, Dec. 1, 1906. [243] "The W. F. M. officials supported the old officials of the I. W. W. for a time financially and with the influence of their official organ. The same is true of the Socialist party press and administration. The radical element in the W. F. M. was finally able to force the officials to withdraw that support. The old officials of the I. W. W. then gave up all pretense of having an organization." (St. John, _The I. W. W., History, Structure and Methods_, 1917 ed., p. 7.) [244] There is no connection between this paper and the _Industrial Worker_ later published as a weekly at Spokane, Washington. Nor is this latter the same Journal as the _Industrial Worker_ recently published in Seattle. All are I. W. W. organs.
