Denver, Colo., Aug. 1. Governor Jamea II, Peabody today Issued ad ad- drew explaining and vindicating hit act In dealing with the labor troubles In Colorado. He refutes the contention that the strike Inaugurated by the Western federation of Miners at the ors reduction works In Colorado City was called because of the failure of the legislature to enact an eight-hour law, pointing out that It was called on the 14th of February, some five or six weeks before the adjournment of the legislature, which then had under con alteration an eight-hour law. Later a sympathetic strike was declared by the federation in Cripple Creek to cut off the ore supply of the mills. , Governor Peabody then goes Into the history of the Western Federation of Miners, which be declares has been replete with assaults, dynamite out rages and murders. In affording pro tection to men who desired to labor, the governorexplains: "It became necessary, In my Judgment, to confine certain men In a military guard house as one of the safest and most expedi tious methods of restoring order. It was loudly proclaimed that this was without authority of law. The ques tion was submitted to the supreme court and the action of the militia In that respect fully sustained. It is useful and necessary power and the class that should decry Its exercise Is not numerous. 'The general policy pursued In Crip pie Creek was followed In other parti of the state, and particularly In Tellu ride, where the excesses and crimes of the federation had been still more In human than In any other district and the reign of terror still more complete, Order now prevails there." Quiet had been restored In Cripple Creek and the troops withdrawn when the dynamite outrage was committed at the Independence depot June 6, fol lowed by the riot at Victor. The gov ernor has placed the responsibility for both these occurrences on the federa tion. "When the excitement had somewhat subsided and the country was still un der quasi military rule" the governor continues, "it was found that there were several hundred members of the Western Federation In the district yet who would not work and had resolved that others should not If by such methods as those employed at the In dependence station they could be driv en away. "I resolved that they should be dispersed and I dispersed them.1 Governor Peabody denies the charge that he Is waging war on labor unions generally and closes as follows: "1 have had to deal with an organization which has no counterpart In this coun try. Its official proclamations, full of defiance and challenge, Issued from time to time, have amounted, as has been said, to a declaration of war. "I have met the challenge with a pojlcy none too vigorous for the out lawry I was called to oppose. . But through it all I have had but one ob ject, and that to show the people of Colorado that the laws will be upheld; that a criminal organization cannot dictate the policy of this admlnlstra Hon and that everywhere within the borders of Colorado property shall be secure and labor shall be free."

Frank Ellis, living on the south side, was curried to a pre-nuptlal reception given him by his fellow members of the Thirteenth Club of Woodlawn. This Is an organisation of bachelors who agreed not to marry, and Ellis was the first to break the pledge. A few days ago he announced that today he would marry Miss Ella L. Holstrom. , Carey Reese, president of the club, sent ror kius, ana when the young man got off the train at Auburn park he was met by twelve men, all dressed In white gowns and caps. Ellis was overpowered and strapped to a coffin lid. He was placed In a wagon draped In white and drawn by two white horses. At the head two men marched, beating muffled drums; two others led the horses and two carried banners. The others marched beside the wagon, each carrying a green lamp. "Inscribed on one banner were the words: "He'll be under the lid next week," and on the other were painted a skull and crossbones. Trough all the principal streets the procession marched, thence to Reese's home, where a banquet was served. CONTENTS OF MADAME FOR AUGUST. When Grace Goes to a Mission Tea ,.c. A.
