每个人都可以假装笑护送愤怒或悲伤，他们无法控制眼中的深度... ... “夜玫瑰”
In Portland the law prohibiting free speech was declared unconstitutional and the city responded to the employment shark allegations by opening up a free employment agency to help people get jobs, thus decreasing the profits of the employment agencies and reducing the conflict in the city. The Seattle and Missoula battles against the employment agencies were also short lived with good results for workers. In Missoula the charges against the speakers were dismissed and the IWW was allowed to organize the workers. The issues in Spokane were the same as in Missoula, “shark” employment agencies charging xian escort fees to send men to nonexistent jobs. The men were then stranded in remote places without money or friends. The city of Spokane would prove to be, however, more resistant to the efforts of the IWW.

uring the winter of 1909-10, Spokane Washington was the battleground of one of the most significant free speech fights in the history of the United States. Men and women stood in defiance of a law which prohibited public speaking on the downtown streets of Spokane. This was the gathering place for migratory workers who assembled along Stevens Street every morning except Sunday, and were charged a dollar or two by corrupt employment agencies which sent them off to non-existent jobs or jobs which lasted only a few days. djgypj1013 After a few days on the job, workers were often fired, to be replaced by other men sent by the employment agencies. This created what union organizer and agitator Elizabeth Gurley Flynn called “perpetual motion—one man going to a job, one man on the job, and one man leaving the job.”

William Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners testified before a Senate Committee in 1916 that the IWW had documented thousands of cases, including Deeks and Deeks, a mining firm near Weatherby, Oregon which hired and fired 5,000 men during the summer of 1908 to fill a crew of 100 men. At other times an employment agency would send a hundred men to fill 10 vacancies or dozens of men to a job site that did not request any workers. Not only did the men have to pay the fee to get the job but they had to spend the money and time to travel to nonexistent jobs as far away as the mines of Montana. The newly organized Industrial Workers of the World came to Spokane during the summer xian escort of 1908 to stop this abuse of working men and organize a local chapter of the IWW. This is the story of that effort and the men and women who led the fight for free speech and unionized labor in Spokane, including Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, one of the best speakers on the IWW circuit. The Industrial Workers of the World conducted approximately 26 free speech fights in western cities between 1908 and 1916. During 1908 and 1909 several short free speech fights were fought in the northwest.
