The Labor enquirer., 1884-12-27
JOHN l.. LEWIS.

In its attacks upon organized labor the
News selected as one of its points to fire
venom at John L. Lewis, executive sec
retary Of the miners executive board
Mr.. Lewis is an able and honest young
man, and if the editor of the News had
taken the trouble to obtain information
concerning him he would have learned
that such is the case; but the News had
no use for the truth in its dirty work
The object was to strike down leader
in the front rank Of organized, intelli.
gent labor, and consequently Mr.. Lewis
was selected.
Ifthe workingmen ofthe state will do
their duty by the Denver News, it will
soon be powerless to injure John Lewis
or any other champion Of despoiled
labor, or to say one word against any
honest citizen.

much study in the cause Of the poor. l
do not think strikes will ever help you
in the object Of your desires to any great
extent. A sort Of protest from theslaye
to the master is about all it amounts to ;
and as means Of organization and 2
proof Of failure to those who believe it
is all in all. Ny advice Is to defend your
rights as close as the constitution will
allow, each man doing his duty indiyid-
ually and not waiting for the co-opera-
ton Of his fellows, as that will follow
and as the laws Of the land allows each
citizen TO keep arms in his house Tor the
purpose of defense, would advise every
man to provide himself with the best
shotgun that he can get, spend less on
whisky, put all bis spare cash into ann
munition, and be ready to strike for
yourselves and families when God gives
the word, which will be very soon.

M,asw Exonerated.

An important meeting Of the execu-
tive board Of districts 8, Knights of Labor,
was held last evening. 1t seems that
notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
charges had .been preferred against
Master Workman McGaw for the part
he took against Congressman Hopkins
in the late campaign. These were in
vestigated by the board and the follow
ing adopted:
Resolved. That Brother II, L. McGaw,
NJ. w. of D. A.3, K. Of L., be exonerated
from all charges made against him in
the public press during the late politi-
cal campaign and that this resolution be
given to the press.
Mr.. Joseph L. Evans, who ranks
second to Mr.. McGaw in the manage
ment of the district. said after the meet
ing adjourned that the investigation had
been complete and searching; that
everybody was satisfied with the reso-
luton, and that Mr.. McGaw was held in
higher esteem by the members Of the
order than ever before. Pittsburg Daily

asa,usu your class, do your best to
kill it. When public man or any other
person does you any harm, try your
hardest to crush himl
If you wish to be respected and con-
sidered, you must make yourself feared.
Instead of passively bearing and cring-
ing under wrong and oppression, act
spiritedly on the offensive, remembering
that under our present system he who
bears will be crushed in the dirt, and
he only is considered who acts and
strikes blows in his own defense,
This doctrine is not good at all times
and under all circumstances, but Solo
mon says there is time for everything.
Our Saviour, if He was on the earth
teaching at this day, would not say
when you are struck on one cheek turn
the other to be smitten also; and when
one takes your coat, give him other
garments.
The coming Saviour whose time is about
ripe, will come with the sword and fire
of vengeance and will destroy the rich
because they have taken advantage Of
His doctrines and have stricken and rob
bed the unresistlng.
The prayers and suffering and wrongs
of Gods poor have reached the throne
of the Almighty, who has only delayed
His judgments until mankind were suf-
fciently educated to act ont their secret
thoughts and desires, and to so place
themselves that His ministers of wrath
cannot fail to strike the right ones. And
now you popes, you bishops, you kings
and capitalists how can you escape the
unanswerable Judgment of God when he
hands you over to slaughter and damna-
ton, with the only excuse for his sever
lty as he points to the rags and misery
Of the poor, aud then to your luxury and
magnifcence, because Of this, and this.n
1t was necessary that the Judgment
should be delayed so that the lesson
taught should never be FORGOTTEN, and
that in the glorious time to come the
blighting principles of selishness can
have no place. 4.

personal.

1t is not a pleasant duty for an editor
to have to use the columns of his paper
to reply to libelous attacks made upon
his personal character byan unprincl-
pied scoundrel who is the hireling OF
some filthy, though financially. powerful
combination that is permitted to print
and circulate in decent community a
foul. blasphemous sheet under the guise
of newspaper; butsuch circumstances
sometimes arise, and the duty has to be
performed.
The editor of this paper is in that posi-
ton at this time, and asks the indul-
gence of his readers, thia once, while
he brands liar. If there was any
chance to get a fair show through the
columns of any daily paper in this city,
/ should not have to appear in my own
paper in personal defense; for there are
hundreds who are ready to testify in my
behalf. But in the daily newspaper
combination of this city no such thing
as fair show to any citizen is known.
The Rocky Mountain News, of this
city, has slandered and maligned me; it
has attempted to injure my good name
and standing with men for whom have
increasingly labored and b. whom | have
been repeatedly honofed, and also with
a public which has known me favorably
for upwards of six years, and l ask that
all who may read this will give it fair
consideration and let their acquaintances
who may not see THE ENQUIRER, know
the whole truth,
In the first place the News says am
"a disorganizer, and not in organizer, as
he claims" Let the five thousand organ
lied men and women of Colorado, or the
hundreds of thousands in the United
States, answer that, l have no wish to
parade my work in that direction, and it
is not TO those that l 60 with defenses-
they know me and nv works.
The News says again, that I have been
an incendiary spirit in the coal miners
strike; that they would have gone to
work long ago, had it not been for my
influence chow about thin great influence

with you, what will You do2 Without
occupation the aristocrats will have nc
use for you; neither can you re-entel
the ranks of labor, as you are marked al
your true value, and we cannot afford to
harbor enemies and nurture them into
new life.
Sir, your attempt to injure all labor
organizations through your attacks on
Comrade Buchanan and the miners OF
Colorado, would be gross insult to our
intelligence if it was not laughable from
transparent weakness. It would be well
for you to learn in your young career as
a mouth piece of monopoly, that the or
ganized forces of labor are built upon
certain principles, and that no one can
possibly be a leader unless heis a living
exponent of those principles. When we
find a man who can act cut our thoughts
and propagate them, he is very liable to
be made aleader, if he can be brought
to accept the sacrifcial honor. And, we
knowing these principles, OF which we
believe you ignorant, are certainly the
better judges of the worth, integrity and
honor, Of our officers. Certainly a paper
which can so unfairly champion the
cause of monopoly as does the News,
would be the last called upon for advice.
Behold, Sir! we show you . wonder
The .labolng classes are thinking for
themselves, and can begin to tell black
from white. Why, Sir, the world is
progressing you are behind the times.
You are one of the numerous Rip Van
Wrinkles, who will perhaps awake when
you are too old to be Of any use.
In this connection have few words
to say to all my brother workmen, and
especially to

Now, brothers, I would not presume to
insult your common sense by thinking
for moment that you could be in
fluenced il the least in your organiza-
tion and work by paid tool of your op-
pressors. Neither can / think that the
late penny-a-line efusions of the. News
on the subject of the strike met with

The fact that our public lands are be-
Ing monopolised by foreigners has
alarmed few Of the people who are con-
cerned in our national welfare, but the
remedy offered is 80 trivial and stupid
that we may wen doubt that the dan
ger will be averted. When any re-
form reaches congress we are led to hope
something will be done, but the main
feature ofa bill recently prepared by the
house committee on public lands Is sim
ply that land owners must become citi-
zens of this country in order to hold the
immense tracts, of which they have
taken possession.
This would be no remedy at all as we
can easily see. A landlord derives bis
income from the labor of his tenants
He has no natural right to rent, YET
once possessed of it, he may spend his
usel IS time in any country he chooses
whether citizen or not he may em
ploy agents to attend to his interests
he may never go near the land; in shor
he may be all that the worst landlord o
Ireland ever was and still be Unitee
States citizen.
But suppose he remain near the land
his plundering would fall no lighter OF
the tenants. He will exact "all thu
market will allow" whether he resides
| in Texas or Kamschatka. We surely
have enough examples of eviction ane
misery caused by both resident and non
observation-disclosures, to condemn the whole
land system. Unless the American peo
ple are fools those British snobs will b
surprised by something that will maxi
them conclude not to invest in ou
lands.
