Edward Morgan, Member Western Federation of Miners, Addresses Central Labor Body In Chi cago President Denounced. CHICAGO, April 1. (Special.) Theo. Bore Roosevelt, President of the United States, was today pictured in the meet ing of "the Chicago Federation of Labor as the power behind the mlneowners and state authorities of Idaho ana coioraao. who were declared to be seeking the blood of Moyer. Haywood and Pettibone. In what was declared to be the most dramatic speech ever heard on the floor of the central labor body, J. Edward Morgan, a member of the Western Fed eration of Miners. old of the alleged conspiracy to railroad to the gallows the leaders of the- miners' organization in the West. At the conclusion of his speech resolutions denouncing President Roosevelt for his attack on Moyer and Haywood were adopted without a dissent ing voice. To Their Prey Iilke Vultures.. "God forbid that it is true." said Mor gan, "but it almost seems to be true that behind the millions of Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company; behind the millionaire mlneowners, stands the strong arm of the chief executive of the Nation, saying: 'Go to It. Fall upon your prey like vultures, and I will sit by and grin while you gurgle In their blood." " Morgan came to this city from Denver to collect funds for the defense of the accused labor officials. "For 17 years,'' he said, "the Western Federation of Miners with their blood blazed the way for organized labor In the West. The organization forced a purse-proud class, frenzied with power, to disgorge a larger and still larger share of their wealth. Now the mlneowners, backed by the state authorities, are thirsting for revenge. "I can see William D. Haywood, the man who refused to be bought, who re fused to bend his knee in- supplication, expiating on the gallows for his loyalty to the men he represented. I have seen the gatllng gum of the military trained upon defenseless men and women. 1 have seen union miners deported and left on a desert without food or shelter. I have seen the wives and daughters of those miners outraged by a brutal sol diery, and now they want to crown their Infamy by the most damnable conspiracy ever conceived In the brain. of man. "Whv are the mlneowners determined to have the blood of Haywood at any cost? They first tried to make peace with him; they wanted him to clink glasses with them. He replied that he was afraid the wine would turn in his glass to the blood of the wives and daughters who had been outraged. "It was then they hatched the con spiracy to get him by other methods. After he was kidnaped, organised labor throughout the land raised its voice In protest. They did not dare to hang him then. But hang him they will, unless the working class of the country rises up from ocean to ocean and demand that Justice be done."

The miners have separated themselves from the Industrial Workers of the World, and will let no town labor trou ble Interfere with the working of the mines.
