The Industrial Workers of the World, the mili- tant aggressive organization whose doctrine of a general re- bellion is rapidly spreading through the " paradise of labor," demanded the release of the miners [and] threatened to burn down Sydney if their demands were not complied with. They made good. Night af...ter night the incendiary work went on in Sydney. . . . Terrorized by the handful of industrial rebels, the commonwealth was forced to yield.
