State and Owner terrorism against workers was 
described as law-and-order.  Those involved in 
labor struggles were deemed Anarchists, their 
numbers inflated and their unionizing called 
conspiracy.  Union activities were characterized 
as secretive just as Al-Quaeda's are.  They're 
everywhere ready to strike at many points simultaneously.

The pearl on page 114 is steganography.

London first joined the Socialist Labor Party in 
April 1896. In 1901, he left the Socialist Labor 
Party and joined the new Socialist Party of 
America. In 1896, the San Francisco Chronicle 
published a story about the 20-year-old London 
who was out nightly in Oakland's City Hall Park, 
giving speeches on socialism to the crowds—an 
activity for which he was arrested in 1897. He 
ran unsuccessfully as the high-profile Socialist 
nominee for mayor of Oakland in 1901 (receiving 
245 votes) and 1905 (improving to 981 votes), 
toured the country lecturing on socialism in 
1906, and published collections of essays on 
socialism (The War of the Classes, 1905; Revolution, and other Essays, 1910).
He often closed his letters "Yours for the Revolution".
Stasz notes that "London regarded the Wobblies as 
a welcome addition to the Socialist cause, 
although he never joined them in going so far as to recommend sabotage."
