SENADRiHENRY - f 0 P upon the condition now - I slating In - Colorado doea not " . , requlra a determination of the Justice of the strike which be gan a year ago. From the Information which I then had I did not consider that extreme meaaurea war lustlf led, and ao publicly declared. The right , of dissatisfied laborer to , quit work must be conceded by all right- ' thinking people; but that right doea not ' justify the forcible prevention from . working of others who are not dissatis fied, and, therefore, willing to work. Labor organisations, . here and else.- where, have not always acted wisely or justly;"' and ' individual ""members' hava been guilty of misconduct toward both employers and fellow-laborers. - That, however, doea not Justify either the de- ' atruotlon or the prohibition of such .organisations. These unions of labor for mutual benefit are as old as history. Today in every civilised land such or ganisations exist, not only with the consent of the government, but often with its encouragement. - Their entire legality has been established by a long Una of decisions. That they i have been useful In -en-eouraglng a laudable ambition among workers, and have been a distinct' and ' lmedlatfc. agency- in the elevating of the world's labor, no man familiar with the history of the race will dare to deny; but the- right of combination, and, the fact that such combinations may1 and probably will be advantageous to- the body of .laborers, does not Justify any member, or all the members, of such combination or organisation. In demand ing that other laborers shall become members of such combinations. To be a , benefit to the laborer, his- connection with the organisation must be a volun tary one. and all efforts to eompet . membership in labororganisations of any kind, against the wishes of, the -laborers. Is not only an Invaeton pfln dividual rights, but a crime agalnat the organisation itself. Its benefits to la bor must depend on Its ability to help its membership. It must' hava fealty among ita members, born, not of fear, but of the hope and expectation of ben- , fits to be derived from such, connection. The Laborer' Option - ' To aay that because a man is a la- :. borer working for hire he must, there fore. Join a labor organisation. Is an ab surdity; but, if possible. It is a greater absurdity to say that ha shall not be allowed to do so if he thinks It Is for his Interest . that he should. .

In a free country men are not guilty until proven guilty by due course ' of law. - 7 ' . ' 8uch procedure ' la and; must neces sarily be wholly outside J of law.' Ac cordingly, a new and hitherto unknown ambI.w i maw lnfitnto1 iiiwin mamtutri ' of the Miners' union- by deportation from the state It must be admitted that there la no law in this state for the those who are only suspected or crime. Indeed. . these deportations go beyond ' even those who are suspected of erlme. A m.mVi.. . h. .nmmlaalrm onnnlntod by the military at Cripple Creek to . . nsu unon the caaea of those taken Into cuatody, recently announced that the men charged with crime were not de - ported; that they were retained as pris oners, while all other members of the union or sympatnisers wun inem were liable to deportation. This Is not, then, i a punishment foVcrimes committed, nor men suspected of crime. It Is a penalty Inflicted upon law-abiding cltlsens for exercising their legal right to bomt members of a labor organisation. It Is ', a procedure, not only without the sanc tion of law, but Is In gross violation of rights secured by the consltutlon of the State, If the miners cannot combine, why Shouut tne mine owners ne suuwra o uu soT If members of the Miners- union . mrm 10 nm riurno ni maw. i"i j crime committed against non-union miners why are not the members of the Mine Owners' association to be charged with every of fensegalnst the person or property of anion men" The In justice Is as great In the one case ,1s In ,11V Ull. . This controversy has gone on for sev eral months, and what has been the re- . suit? .,. . . - ;,. ,v:,. ; Use of the Militia , The militia was called out supposedly to help enforce the law, - to assist the i civil autnoritiea to protect perrons mu , property.. It was soon asserted by the officers in command that the civil auth orities, especially ' the Judiciary, were subordinate to the militia; a statement - that could be true only on the theory that the governor had proclaimed mar tial law. This the governor dented. I do not believe the governor nas tne authority to declare martial law. The - bin. nf V.nwmA tiaai . - Imi SO Dlackston asserted, and certainly no king of England would ' dare to do It i U ...jtH,i ' i"' w , iiur mm sof uviiw v ivr m.i" ' of years. . - ' ' The supreme court Of the United States, In the case of Luther vs. Bor den, 1 Howard, Taney, C, J., delivering the opinion of the court, establishes the doctrine that the legislature of a state alone may declare martial law.- Black stone declared that the declaration of martial law was a legislative act. In 17IT there was a great disturbance in Pennsylvania ' called "Bhay's rebel lion."! The military was called out, and fne governor of the stale gave the fol lowing order iq the officer in command:! COLORADO'S Declires That Deportation of JMiners u CrimeCouid ! Be Proved Wa "Consider yourself, an. all your mili tary offensive operations. " constantly under the direction of the civil officers, save when an armed force shall appear to oppose you marching to execute these orders." ' , .'.... s . ,; '.-' .' , The Whisky Rebellion 5 J In 1791, there was trouble In western Pennsylvania,, usually called the "whis ky rebellion.'' , The Judge of the United States court, certified to the president that the United States marshal waa un able to execute the warrants of the court ' The" president George Washing ton, ordered a portion of the United States army sent to that section, .and gave. this Instruction; - "The army should not consider them selves as judges or executioners of the law, but only as employed to support the authorities In the execution or the law." In neither of. these esses waa there martial law. -. During the civil war, Jefferson Davis suspended the , writ of habeas - corpus and proclaimed martial law-in several of the southern states. In a large num ber of cases brought before the' Con federate courts by the civilians sr rested by the military, , the courts on petition released the prisoners and de cided that there should be neither sus pension of the writ of habeas corpus nor declaration of martial -law by any other authority than the supreme legis lative authority. -. The calling out of the militia by the governor doea not create martial law, and does not - suspend - the writ of habeas corpus, although ' 1 understand the governor holds that It does. It does not mske the civil authorities subor dinate to the military, even when the military Is in the field, and doea not suspend the functions of the civil offi cers in the state. . The constitution of Colorado declares that "the military shall always be in subordination to the civil powers." We must have either a civil government or a government by the military forces, that is, martial law. We cannot have both a civil government and martial law at the. same time and In the same place, r T- . Martial law. means the will of the commander-in-chief, and his will is law absolute law. He may, under mar tial law. set aside the constitution and the statutes, disregard the decisions of theTourts and the life and liberty of the people are In his hands. He is an autocrat, he may be a tyrant. - The supreme court of the United States In Hit said: "It is the birth right, of every American cltlsen, when charged with crime, to te tried ana punished according to- law.M See, fix Parte Mllllgan. 4 Wall., 11 . Entitled to Trial .. If these deported men are guilty of crimes, they are entitled to a trial be fore punishment.' If not guilty of crimes, . then the authorities, civil or military, that deprive them of their lib erty, or refuse-to them-the rights" to select their domicile in .any part of the state they choose, sre guilty of crimes agalnat the Individuals, as well as agalnat the peace of the state. If, ' then, martial law can under any circumstances be declared In Colorado, It must be by the legislature. - Three counties have been declared by the ' governor In a state of Insur rection, and have been ruled by the adjutant - general of the etat-binder this proclamation. I say "ruled" be cause he haa not - acted as a support to the -civil authorities but on the con trary. as . independent of and In some cases in opposition thereto. First was there en Insurrection In either of the counties named by the governor The usual definition .of ' the word "Insurrection" Is, "A rising against civil or political authority; the open and active opposition of a num ber of persons to the execution of the lsw in a city or state; a rebellion; a revolt" And - the. partlea taking part In suoh open and. active opposition to the execution of ' the laws are called "Insurgents," or "Insurrectionists.'' Again, theword "insurrection" Is de fined aa "A rising up of Individuals to prevent the execution of law by force of arms." - Can any one pretend that under these definitions, the , people were In Insur rection In any part of the state? The most that has been asserted by any one claiming a knowledge of the facta is, that In certain localities there had been acts of lawlessness, hardly rising to the plana of "domestic vio lence' or .'fclvtl ... commotlonJi which designate a condition very far short of Insurrection. ' .' These lawless acts were not by armed forca.but- by Individuals or (mall band not armed, not aiming at he destruction of tba state govern ment but possibly of -a character that might well call for the Interposition of the governor. -. - -- The Governor Duty If the governor believed that the civil, authorities could not execute the JIWI VI III. .ivii. it was hla duty to call so much of the military force of the state as might be necessary to secure, through the civil authorities, peaoe and .order, and a due execution of the law,- the full protec tion of the persons and property of all the inhabitants of the state. It was not necessary that the people should be In a state of Insurrection before be made such call. - ' The constitution of Colorado make It his duty to "take ear that the laws be faithfully executed." It also pro vides "he shall have power to call out the, militia to execute the laws, sup press Insurrection or repel Invasion." As ha had full power to call out In militia to execute the law, he did not need to And that there waa lnaurreotlon before calling out the militia - - ' The right to eall out the militia to aid In the -execution of the lews gives the governor the right to Judge -when that necessity exists. If he makes a mistake and calls out the militia when not necessary to do so, the act of call ing Is valid, and the governor must an swer for the mistakes In that respect not to the law, but to the .opinion of the neonie of the state. There Is no re dress to the people of the 'state If he makes a mistake In this matter. ' It Is not now a question or his power. for that la admitted, and. In this j?aper, THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 31. 1904. TELLEi DENOUNCES ' l. POLICMQWARD UNIONS " ' ' ' '" y'"' : t - " ; (y. ". Senator Xeary M." Teller of Colorado, la the Kooky I do-not Intend to eall in question his Judgment in so' calling out the militia, do Insist, however, that Insurrection did not exist In the state, and, by his statement that ' It did, he has put the people of Colorado in a falae light be fore their fellow cltlsens of other state. But,' because the calling, of the mlltlU was by constitution leri to tne gover nor, the cltlsens of the state are 'not bound to - approve - of such ca 11 nor of the subsequent acta, either of the gov ernor himself, or bis military subordi nates, snd we have the. right to Inquire whether the militia haa been used to execute the laws of the state, or, If the governor haa honestly attempted so to use It, and whether be baa In thla man ner executed the laws. - When the constitution gave' him the authority to call the mllttla to execute the lawe. It Imposed on him the duty to see that violations of the law were duly punished by the usual - and ordinary methods provided by law therefor; that la, through and by the ami eutnoruiea. In addition to the punishment of driitlnn to tha nunlshment of crimes. It beeomea his duty- to see that there was due protection given to the persons as well as the property of the people; and In ill free governments the protection of the person securing to the cltlsen Tili polttteaT and" ctvtr Tights haa always been considered more im portant than the protection of property rights. . --" " ." . ' v . What Has- Been Done ' It Is but right that we now conalder whether the purpose for which the mil itary force waa called has secured the end for whioh they were called, that la, the due execution of the lawa of thu state, the protection of the personal and property rights of tha cltlsen. - i ' I have already stated that the officers In command of the militia 'declared the Judiciary and other civil authorities were subordinate to the military.- - It is evident that both the governor and his military officers supposed that in call ing, out the militia, he secured all the powers that' he would have bad If mar tial law had been legally established..! This will be admitted by all who have kept Informed aa to the occurrences in the localities .where the military were. In control. At Cripple Creek, a Judge of the dis trict court Issued a wyt to the com manding officer of the militia to bring thabody of a eertaliLCltlsen. .then .held by the military, into his court The officer In command did comply with the writ, and brought . Into the courthouse and into the court the prisoner (against whom no charge had been . made) ; brought him Into court under a mili tary guard, and issued his commands to such guards in the presence of such judge, and in the presence of tne court On the discharge of the prisoner by the court after the hearing of the case, the officer in command Informed the court - that - the prleoner-would. -be - re turned to the military prison, and the writ would not be obeyed. I believe an order from the governor was required to secure a compliance with tha order of the court It la said and I hava never heard It deniedthat when some . one said that certain acts of the military were contrary to the provisions of the con stitution, a major of the militia aald. "To hell with the constitution; w sre not following, the constitution." And s colonel of the militia said. "We are under orders only from God and Gov emor Peabody." Theae declarations, or supposed dec larations, have not only been published In Colorado, but throughout the United States, and In aome of the most reput able Journajs of the day; statements of a like character or even worse have been at varloua ttmea attributed to the adjutant general of the atate. - II U published statements over hla own signature are enough to show his char acter, and, I will add, hla unfltneaa to command. . The adjutant general soon - estab lished a censorship over the press, and threatened - the papers with his dis pleasure if they published anything dis agreeable to him. - The Bnllpen Men who had come under the 4 Is pleasure of the officer In command were arrested thrown Into the military -prla on, usually designated the. "bullpen, without warrant and without charges. rand kept these during the pleasure of ,the military officer in command, and then turned out without even being told of what crime they had been sus pected; "" ; Z . On tha Ith day of June there waa a dynamite -explosion at Independence that destroyed the railroad depot and platform and killed and wounded a large number of men. It - waa a bor- rlble crime, and on that excited the people of the whole state as I have never seen them excited before. . The Wstern Federation of Miners prompt ly offered a reward of 15.000 for the de tection and arrest of the - murderers. The militia at one took steps to detect and arrest the criminals. - Bloodhounds were employed and for a few daya the public were led to believe that the guilty partlea would be arrested; and It la now claimed that persons sus pected of the crime' are now under ar rest, but I am not aware that anyone haa been legally charged with, this crime.- I have not heard that the gov. ernor haa offered a reward for tha ap prehension of the criminals. Thoee who were hostile to the miners'! union at once charged It with this crime. The coroner of the county was by - force compelled to resign his of fice; a successor was forthwith ap pointed from the ranks of the union's enemies; ths Jury summoned by tho lawful coroner ' discharged and . a new Jury called, what aa might bs expected, without deley returned a verdict charging the union with the crime. In like manner, other officers of the county and Its various municipalities were forced' to reelgn, by. threats of lynch ing snd other forms of violence, until the Mine Owners' association and the Cltlsena' alliance had aupplanted with their creatures the lawfully chosen city marshal, ' Sheriff, several aldermen,- justices of the peace, etc.. In these high-handed proceedings. the perpetrators had the support of the military, and here la presented a condi tion, an overturning of lsw. and an armed resistance to and overpowering Against Whom No t ountaia JTewa.) of the lawful authorities, which closely borders upon Insurrection. No attempt, however, has been made by the governor- to suppress this Uprising. On the contrary, he haa given It hla open ap proval. . . ' ' " Wholesale Arrests 7 " Then began the arrest of a large number of cltlsens who are-not charged with any speclflo erlme, and they were put la the "bullpen" or military prison. Subsequently, a large number of min ers were seised by the military and put on board the cars, dported to the con fines of the state,' put out of the ear and told that thejr must not return to their homes. . t I suppose not less than ISO or 100 men were ao deported from Cripple Creek and vicinity, not by authority of law, bnt, in def lane of It and In viola tion of law. Before that large number of miners Jad been by the military authorities u.iui ii iivm tciiuum . .iiu viuvr pointa In Colorado, and toid If they re turned tbey would be Incarcerated la the military: prison.' - ' This deportation was not by Irre- spouslbls or responsible peupls of-the county, but by order of the governor, by the us of the military of the state. It is the set of the stats without au thority, of law and In open def lane of law. .... 7. - - -. - - In Tellurite a mob drove out some (0 cltlsens, but of this the authorities took no notice, and the exiles are still prevented from returning to their homes and property., , These deported men had never been legally charged with - any offense against the law. Many of them are property owners; numbers of them were living In 1 their, own bouses, paying taxes, and so far aa any charge haV been brought agalnat them In any. legal manner, cltlsens .of good repute, . - It was, however, charged that they were members of the miners' union, or If not members of the miners' union that they were In sympathy . with the , atrlklng members of that body. A large num? ber of persons, fearing deportation, hastily left for, other parts of the state. The adjutant general has declared that the deportations would be contin ued until all members of the miners' union have been forced from the state. Theae deport&tlona are at tha expense of the state. - In the history , of this state there has never before been such a disgraceful condition as haa existed within the last six months in at leaat three counties in this state. -v , ,.'...- i Right Disregarded For tha credit of the atate I will not detail what I believe to be the illegal methods pursued by ths military to get rid of the striking' miners In these sev eral camps. Sufficient to say, such was the confusion and disregard of the rights of Individuate that when a prom inent cltlsen of another state waa about lo visit the Cripple Creek region for the purpose of inquiring Into the eondltlona of the laboring people of that camp, the adjutant general of the state felt com- polled. In order to secure him hla pea-sJ sonai sarety, to issue a proclamation nsnun is so wt ana ouscure or iuw his soldiers that he should be properl! treated- when he reached that camp. Thla proclamation la a disgrace to the state, and also a striking commentary on the claim that the measures adopted have brought peace and order to the communities in question. A lawyer of distinction and good char acter, who had been employed by some of the deported miners to look after their Interests, was arrested and incar cerated and held In durance for about one week and' then dismissed, and the only reason given for his arrest that I can learn of waa that "he talked too much."; - : -: .. ' . Tha representative of - the Western Federation of Miners was arrested without charges and kept in durance II for 86 days, reputable attorneys applied to the supreme court of the state for a writ of habeas corpus in or der that he might be released, or. If not released, that he might know with what erlme he was charged. Ths supreme court of the state, by two out of three of its members, declared In substance and effect that the governor of the state cdtild determine when It waa necessary to call out the militia, that hla finding upon that subject wss final; that the arrest and Incarceration ' could not be Inquired Into by the courts, and the eu preme -court declined to grant the relief - BOUffht My . professional education and long professional life as a lawyer, have made me exceedingly conservative when I come to speak of the decisions of courts. I appreciate, as all lawyers do, how .m portant It la that the people Shall have, at all times, confidence in the Integrity and ability of the judiciary, and I shall oontent myself with saygng that I do not believe the decision oMhe court can be supported, either upon principle or precedent, and the court win nave the distinction of being the only court in this broad. land of ours that has ever made a decision of this character. Cannot Approve It " " t " do nor believe It will receive the approval of the legal profession In this or any other section of the "country. The danger that may arise from such a precedent is so greet that I feel Justi fied In' expressing my dissent In the most emphatla manner from the conclu sions of the majority of the court and I deslra here to express my hearty ap proval of the dissenting opinion of Judge Steele The Record, a paper published In Crip ple Creek In the Interests of the. miners at Cripple Creek, was sttacked by srmed and masked men, and the presa and ma terial were broken up with sledge ham mers and damaged to be extent of from Id. 000 to 18,000, and when the proprietor of the Record arranged with another publisher to get out hla paper tha Mine Owners' association, or Cltlsens' alliance, or both, notified the proprietor of the paper that he must not allow the Record to be published from his office, and he thereupon withdrew the permit ' I do not know what had been the course of the Record, except that It did on the day of the destruction of Its press. In an editorial, advise the strik ing miners to eall off tha strike, saying It had been a failure, and the sooner they recognised that face the better it would be for them. - But . that did not aave It from the barbarous hands of those , who are crying, out against the miners' union as an- association not fit to exist' .'-..-. The co-operative stores of the miners union or the Western Federation of Miners, established for the benefit of the miners, four in number, were broken into by ao armed . force . and a large amount of provisions snd general sup plies, estimated to be of the value of $25,000, destroyed ' by the pretended champion. of law and order. The destruction of the Record's of fice and the -supplies of the miners' stores was by parties well- known, yet no one has been arrested- for these crimes, but the men who "talks too much" spent a week- in confinement un der military orders, r " ' ' "-t' Certainly at no time In the history, of this "state has there. been such a state of anarchy as has existed in Teller. San Miguel end IAS Anlmss counties under this military government during tha last tew months. It is certain that the laws have not been duly executed. Neither the personal nor property rights of the cltlsen have been secured. The state has Incurred a great debt which will bear heavily Upon the people In the Immediate , future. But - what is of greater Importance, to us than ths loss of money and payment of extra taxes, is the disgrace inflicted upon the atate by the courae of the military gov ernment v , Of Universal Concern 7: T The press of the United 8tates Is al most a unit In condemning the meth ods employed by the military. It la not a question that conqerns the people of Coloredo alone, but It oohcerns all Ifie people of the United States. The rellg lous," the""Hepubl!carf end Thr twiiorrstlo press alike condemn the action of the governor and- hla military- government Capital ha taken alarm, not - because of the striking miners, but from the open snd notorious violation of both personal and property rights of ottlsens of the stste and by the ao-called gov ernment of. the atate. We cannot hope to secure competent workmen when It Is known they are denied the protec tion of the lawa by the governor and hla militia. The acts of tha military authorities; not less than their utterances, show conclusively thst they do not recognise the 'fact that their true and only func tion la to protect the rights of both parties to the controversy out of which these conditions have arisen.' . On the contrary they act upon the theory that they are employed to disrupt the unions, snd. Indeed, they have openly declared that to be their purpose. The gross in justice of such a position Is evident to all the world, and haa brought our atate Into undarserved disrepute. It cannot be that the people of Colorado, when ad vised of the facts, will approve such a course. Law Should Rule The' miners are not criminals or ha bitual violators of the- rights of others. They are of the bone and sinew of our state, and through their labors .'the state has become rich and prosperous. They are entitled to the full protection of the law, and to a fair reward for their labor. To deny them either Is an injustice to the whole comonwealth and a stain upon Its reputation. Because Individual miners, or even unions, have been guilty of violence or acta of law lessness is no reason for charging the whole organisation. Including thousands of honorable men, with crimes which are possible only to men devoid of all sens of humanity. In a free government no man is so great that he Is sbove the law, and no that be Is not entitled to the protection of the law, both In his person-and prop erty, - and no man or combination of men can be allowed .to violate the law under the pretense of public necessity or of maintaining peace and order, or that It is necessary for the punishment of criminals. Persons and property must be protected by law and not by mobs of self-appointed guard fane of the law. Criminals must be punished by law and that only when by the le gally established methods they are es tablished to be criminals. Thess questions should be considered calmly and an earnest effort made to conserve the Interests of both parties, and. above all, to preserve the dignity of the law, and the welfare and repu tation of the stste, snd this can be done only by private, cltlsen and publlo official alike respecting snd obeying the laws. Disobedience or nonobservance of the laws of the state is no less a crime when committed by a state of ficer. " It Is In fact a greater crime then disobedience or nonobservance of the lsw by a private cltlsen. . SPOKANE CITIZENS PLAN TO BEAUTIFY (Special Pfepstsh to The Joernal.) Spokane, July SO.
