Federation Takes
Up
Statement of Hamlin.
EIGHT-HOUR DAY IS ISSUE
Colorado" Citizens' Alliances
Held Responsible for Grime.'
FORTITUDE OF MEN IS MARVEL
Explosion at Independence Is Con
nected With the Startling .Pre
vious 'Confession of Employe
of the- Mlneowners.
DENVER. June 1L The. executive
board of the "Western Federation of Min
ers today Issued a statement regarding
the situation In Cripple Creek, In reply to
the statements made by General. Sherman
M. Bell and. Secretary C. C. Hamlin, of the
Cripple -Creek District Mlneowners Asso
elation. It is as follows:
'Th,e cause of the .strike of the, Western
Federation of Miners In Colorado is one of
long standing and involves the failure on
the part cf mine managers in various
parts of tle state to live .up. to their pwn
written agreements. As far back as 1SS4,
as a result of a strike at that time, the
mlneowners agreed that " eight hours
should constitute a day's work, that the
minimum day wage sbould be $3 and
that there should be. no discrimination
against union men in the hiring and dis
charging of labor.
"At the outset of the trouble Manager
MacNelll. of the Standard Mill at Colo
rado City, peremptorily discharged 45
men, members of tho Westefti Federation
of Miners, for no other reason than that
they had become union: men. All of these
were old employes of from two to six
years standing. Mill men are affiliated
with the Western Federation of Miners
and are entitled to all of the protection
that goes with such membership.
The Only Question Involved.
"Today tho only questions involved are
enforcement of the eight-hour day, the
right of men to organize in the unions
and to prevent discrimination against
union men of all kinds. The responsibil
ity for the lawlessness connected with the
contest rests entirely on the shoulders of
the mine operators, the Citizens' Alliance
and their allies, backed up by the ready
power of the state government.
"Tho responsibility has been placed on
those persons and organizations by Dis
trict Judge Theron Stevens, who de
nounced tho military usurpation in Tellu
rlde In strong language, from the bench;
by District Judge J. Walter Dixon. Re
publican, who openly condemns Governor
Peabody and severely criticises his acts
Involving the deportation of men from
the state without trial or other chance of
hearing; by ex-Governor Charles S
Thomns, who plainly points to the Mine-
owners" Association and Citizens' Alliance
as being responsible for the many out
rages committed on the persons of help
less and innocent miners; by tho recent
Democratic State Convention, which de
nounced in unscathlng terms the line of
policy pursued.
"The events of the present week in the
Cripple Creek district justify every accu
sation contained above. The following
crimes upon citizenship have followed
swiftly upon one another:
Crimes Upon Citizenship.
"The resignation of Sheriff Robertson,
of Toller County, forced by a mob at the
point of a pistol and a coil of rope; the
forced resignation ,of Coroner Doran, of
Teller County; of the City Marshal, of
Victor, of various Aldermen and Justices
of tho Poace in the district, the entire
.official directory of the City of Goldfield,
assault upon and demolition of the union
hall in Victor, forcible entrance Into tho
four union co-operative stores and de
structlon of the contents, destruction of
the Victor Daily Record by an armed
mob, invasion of Dunnvllie, outside the
military lines, by an armed force under
military command, arrest of men at their
work and incarceration within the mill
tary lines. Hundreds of men confined in
unsanitary bullpens. forcible shutdown of
the great Portland mine, employing union
men, by order of the military command
ant, on tho plea of military necessity, and
subsequent deportation of the men therein
employed.
'Concerning tho explosion -which
wrorJccd the depot at Independence and
killed 16 unfortunate non-union miners,
It need only be said a self-confessed
train-wrecker, in tho employ of the
Mlneownors' Association, had, a few
days previously been released from cus
tody nt the behest of the attorney for
tne association, and that this same man
was observed going down Potts Canyon,
in the immediate -vicinity of the wreck
age only a short time after tho disas
ter, and that the bloodhounds used, to
follow the trail of the criminal -went di
rectly to a house occupied by a 'detective
in the employ of the Mlneowners' As
sociation, and was promptly -called off.
This man stated under cross-examination
during the trial of the union miners who
were accused of tho attempted train
wrecking, that he and other detectives
did agree, for a money consideration, to
pull spikes and wredc a train.
Photographs of Marked .Miners.
"Photographs of marked miners re
ferred to by General Bell, whom, he
alleges, were marked for death, must be
regarded as an Invention of his own
brain. The photographs. In .question are
tho&o of strike-breakers, and were kept
for the purpose of publishing a stab list
with the pictures of the men accompany
ing their description, so that members
of organized labor all over the country
would become thoroughly acquainted
with these men who have committed
treason to themselves and to their
classes. Theso pictures are nothing
more than those havinc charge of the
strike in the district have publicly used
for many months.
Men Alone Can Bring On Strike.
"Charges that miners are not allowed
to voto on questional of striko are ut
terly absurd. As a matter of fact, ac
cording to tho Constitution of the West
ern Federation of Miners. It is absolute
ly impossible for tho executive board to
call a strike of Its own -volition. - The
present striko Is a result of a direct vote
of the members of the various .unions in
'the district, which left the matter en
tirely in the hands of properly delegated
authorities for adjudication and settle
ments ;
J. no twelfths annual convention re
cently held in Denver, appointed a spe
cial investigating committee, cons is tin
of Malcolm Crillis, ol Butte, Mont.; EL
B. Seaman, of Rossland, B. C. and R.
E. Allen, oi Dillon, Wyo.. which com
mittee made a personal investigation by
a visit to the Cripple Creek district only
last wee, and reported to -the conven
tion that the constitution of the ".Vestera
Federation of Miners had been observed
to the minutest detail during the entire
prosecution of the contest.
"Absolutely, no deaths have occurred
during. th. contest for, which the Western
Federation of aUnenr can jor ought to be
held responsible. . Some 15 men were
killed in the Strattoa Independence mine
tn rough the Incompetency of the men
employed and the -culpable negligence of
tne- management. These men were un
familiar with the work, and were such
as this mine and other mines in- the dis
trict have been compelled to employ at
tne oenesc or the Mlneowners Employ
ment Agency.
"We are unfortunately- forced to abide
by the acts of an unbridled military des-
potism-that is driving our members from
pillar to - post Their fortitude under
tae3e circumstances ia the marvel of tho
age, and shows the Western Federation
of Miners is composed of the highest type
of American citizenship. Our attitude U
fully expressed by tho following tele
gram:
" 'Hon. Theodore Ttoosevelt, President of
the united States, Washington. D. C.
"A duty devolves upon you. as Presi
dent of the United States to investigate
the terrible crimes that are being perpe
trated in Colorado in the name of law
and order. We will render every possible
assistance to the proper authorities

people of the country might realize the
outrages that are being inflicted on Inno

ORDERS WRONG MEN AWAY.
Committee on Safety Puts Names of
Deputies on List.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo.. June. 1L Gen
cral Bell was In consultation for two
hours today with the citizens' committee
that has been Investigating the records of
tno- imprisoned union men. and unon
whose recommendations deportations are
ordered.
"We -have decided upon a few who must
go, said General Bell, upon leaving the
commutee-room at tho Alliance headquar
lers, out l don't want to send them out
until we have sifted out all the candidates
for release and Imprisonment. We will
send out all future deportees on one train
probably Sunday. This will save the ex
pense of more than one special train."
The committee today made the signifi
cant mistake of recommending for de
portation some of the men who had been
sworn In as deputies. Many persons have
changed their sympathies from unionism
to the side which now has gained he un-
per hand during the week.
Nearly all the union men remainlner at
Alliance headquarters after yesterday's
deportation, numbering 40. were taken to
tne county Jail today. The mlneowners
say they will be charged with various
grave offenses.
Fifteen men remain at the old prison,
Some will be deported and some released.
There Is also a squad at the Victor Ar
mory, variously estimated at 23 to S5.
awaiting deportation. But few arrests
have been made today.
Expressmen In this city and Victor are
doing a rushing business In hauling
trunks to the various depots for the de
ported people, and also of people who pro.
pose to aeport tnemselves. Much furni
ture Is being stored.

will be tried for murder, attempt to kill

Cripple Creek of refusing employment to

signatures or nusmess men to the boycot
ting agreement.
MINERS ARE FIRED UPON.
Six-Shooter Is Emptied Into a Crowd,
but No One Is Injured.
COLORADO SPRINGS. June 11. A spe
cial to the Gazette from Cripple Creek
says:
"It is said in General Bell's headquarters-
tonight that on Monday 150 arrests will
be made.
"The night shift at the Stratton Inde
pendence was fired on by some unknown
party as the men were going off work. A
man concealed below the old camn at
Goldfield emptied a six-shooter into the
crowd, but hit no one.
"Editor Kyner. of the Victor Record.
said tonight he would get out his paper
under military protection. He is publish
ing only a handbill now, to save his title.
but expects to have his plant repaired In
two weeks.
"Deputies today found another Infernal
machine in the home of W. B. Easterly,
at Altman. Easterly could not be found.
and it is supposed he Is in Denver. The
machine consisted of an electric battery
worked by means of a pumping apparatus.
"General Bell said tonight that a num
ber of miners had been decided on for de
portation, but he would wait until the
committee bad finished Its work and send
out all at one time. He also made the fol
lowing statement.
"I have Indisputable evidence la my pos
session which will lead to the conviction
of a number of union men for the murder
of the nonunion miners who were killed
In the Independence depot explosion. We
have between 35 and 40 men in the bullpen
who will swing for this crime. We are only
waiting to capture two or three more men
before we tell what our evidence it."
Special Will Take Them to Denver,
SYRACUSE, Kan.. Juno 11. The 98
deported Colorado miners are at Holly
tonight, just across the Colorado line.
They were notified tonight that a spe
cial train would be sent to take them
all to Denver. The miners held a
meeting tonight and discussed the sit
uation with the officials of the Western
Federation of Miners. They decided
to wait instructions from the officers of
tho Federation in Denver as to their
future movements. They are consider
ing the advisability of returning to
Cripple Creek, and have not decided
about returning1 in a body. The Fed
eration of Miners has furnished the
men with sufficient money to pay their
expenses at Holley, and there is no Im
mediate necessity for them to move to
another town. All tho miners were the
guests of the Mayor of Holly at dlnuer
today.
Sheriff Brady, notwithstanding' in
structions from Topeka, kept his force
of deputies at the state line until late
this afternoon to prevent any of the
miners from coming across. The Col
orado authorities will ndt be allowed
to dump their deported men into Ham
ilton.
Peabody Sure They Won't Return.
DENVER, June 1L When asked what
he thought of the protest of tho Kansas
Sheriff against the intrusion of deported
Colorado miners. Governor Peabody said:
.Kansas cannot prevent a man from
coming into the state, but may throw him
out If he does not become a good citizen.
Just as we did. But if those deported men
are sent back to Colorado," the Governor
continued, "God help them I do not be
lieve, however, that there are enough Con
stables In Kansas to drive "them back to
Cripple Creek."

Men Are Unloaded at an Early Hour

DENVER, Colo., June 11. A sp'ecial to
the Post from Holly, Colo., says:
With a parting volley of rifle bul
lets fired over their heads by the
militia and deputies to warn them
to "hike" eastward as fast as their
legs could carry them, and never
again set foot on Colorado soil, 91 union
miners from the Cripple Creek district
were unloaded from a special Santa Fe
train on the prairie this morning, one-half
mile from the Colorado-Kansas state line,
and left to shift for themselves. The ex
iles were disembarked In haste and with
out ceremony. The guards and deputies
were tired out and in ill-humor from their
long, tedious trip from the Teller County
gold camp, and were In no mood to ex
tend any special courtesies or kindness to
their unfortunate charges.

it, the three cars were emptied of their
unfortunate and unwilling passengers and

The men were dumped on the cheer

the soldiers and deputies, in their haste
to get home, had forgotten to unload

A Cheerless Lot, Indeed.

deputies, who notified Lieutenant' Cole
that under no circumstances would the
train be allowed to cross, the Kansas

were not wanted in the Sunflower
State. Sheriff Brady was emphatic In
nis remarks, and Lieutenant Cole as
sured him that the train would pro

Brady called for the leaders of the
unionists and notified them that they
must not cross the Kansas line.

Kansas Only Asks That the Deported
Be Law-Abiding.
ST. LOUIS, June 1L Governor Willis J.
Bailey, of Kansas, who is visiting the
World's Fair, said today in regard to the
report that striking Colorado miners were
to be deported into Kansas, that he knew
nothing officially of the matter.
"You may say, however," continued the
Governor, "that If the miners are coming
to Kansas as peaceful and law-abiding
citizens, looking for employment, they will
be made welcome.
"Should, on the other hand, a body of
lawless men seeK to invade Kansas, Kan
sas wm take care of them. I believe
we are able to enforce the laws of nr
state, and If the occasion arises we will
do so.
Later Governor Bailey, after statlnc
he had received no official notice of the
action toward the deported men taken by
ivnnsaa omciais, said:
"I believe Sheriff Brady made a mistaltn
in turning the miners out of the state un
less they had committed some unlawful
act. Doubtless he believed he had good
reason for doing what he did."
Governor Bailey stated to the Associ
ated Press that he would return homo to.
night. He said while he does not fear
any serious trouble he has decided to
return to his home state durfnir tha
present phase of the Colorado minere
troubles.
Advice of Attorney-General.
TOPEKA. Kan.. June 1L A .teleCTara
was received at the Governor's office to
day from Sheriff John Brady, of Hamilton
County, apprising the Governor of the
coming of the deported Colorado miners
into Kansas. The dispatch was as fol
lows: "Special train, with 140 deported miners
from Cripple Creek, arrived at Coollden
at 10:30 P. M."
No Instructions were asked for. but H.
W. Brient, executive clerk in charge dur
ing tne uovernor s absence in St. Louis.
referred the matter to- the Attorney-Gen-
erars omce tor advice. Acting on the
advice of that office, Mr. Brient wired
Sheriff Brady that "The Attorney-General
advises no aggressiveness on your part."
It is the opinion of the lawyers In the
Attorney-General's office that Kansas has
no legal right to stop the deportation of
miners Into this state. About the only
thing the Kansas officials can do is to
exercise their persuasive powers to keep
the train officials from dumping Oho men
on Kansas solL
"Common sense would indicate that it
Is a very poor thing to dump destitute
men on a small community to be fed,"
said Assistant Attorney-General Pestan
aud. "I understand that these men have
no money, but they would, have to be fed
Just the same, and that would be no easy
matter in a sparsely rettled region like
that in Western Kansas."
Wants Men Taken Further On.
TOPEKA, Kan.. June U. Governor
Bailey has notified his officers here that
he will be back from St Louis tomorrow
to take charge' of any develoDments thnf
may. arise from the action from the Colo-
PKEGONIAff, PORTLAND,
rado authorities in dumping the deported
minima m tne stale, iso iroume is- ex
pected, however.
W. J.,.. Black, general .passenger and
ticket agent of the Santa Fe, has been no
tified that the miners will have to depend
on the farmers for their food. The region
wnere they were put oft the train is very
sparsely settled, and it will be no easy
matter lor the residents to care for them
properly.
TneSanta Fe will be asked not to let
any more men OK the train at that point.
If they must come to this state, it is the
wish of the Kansas people that they be
Drougnt rarther east.
The Kansas officials are united in the
opinion that Sheriff Brady made a mis
take in sending the men back as there Is
no law to warrant his action- If any law
less acts are committed -by the miners, say
tne omclals, the Kansas laws can be easily
enforced, but they cannot . be prevented
irom coming to the state.
WIVES SHALL NOT SUFFER.
Federation Will Care for the Loved
One3 of the Deported Miners.
DENVER, June 11. Supplying the wives
and children of the union miners in the
Cripple Creek district with provisions, and
taking care of deported men, are serious

today it was decided that commission!

ple treeic, victor and Anaconda. Whether
tne miners win or lose in the present
