DENVER, JAM, 14.--A great deal has
been said and done for. the purpose OF
organizing the workingmen, and the
army of toiling women has been almost
forgotten. Now, would like to- ask the
women and girls who toll from 8 in the
morning until s or o'clock at night, if
ever they gave the subject of labor a
thought? Did you ever think that the
miserable pittance you get, called a sal
ary, did not half pay you for your labor ?
Did you ever compare your scantily sup
piled table with that of your employer :?
Do you not know that you. earn the good
things that your employer eonsumesP ?
Do you not know that it is the greed of
capitalists that compels you to work
from twelve to fourteen hours day?
presume you say to all, a"Yes; but
what can we do 2' will answer by say
ing. ORGANIZED If you will but organize
there will be no need of your weary
bodies going to your little homes almost
faint from exhaustion. l ask you work
ing women, why should you work twelve
and fourteen hours day. when strong
men say that they will not work more
than ten hours a day, and they think
eight sufficient. l claim you ought not
to be compelled to work so many hours,
and ifit were not for the greed of capital
you would not have to work at all

Dies MONIES, JAN 12.-In loo king over
the last ENQUIRER notice a dispatch
from Des Moines in regard to trouble be-
tween the miners and blacklegs in Angns.
] send you paper giving a more de-
tailed account of the affair. The strike
has been in progress since the first of Oc
toher, and has been conducted in such a
quiet and orderly manner, and their
claims are so just and apparent, that they
have received, the endorsement and sym-
pathy of the public throughout the state,
also considerable aid in a financial way.
A few weeks ago the militia of this city
were sent to Angus to prevent an out
break. There was not the slightest indi-
cation of trouble. This proceeding was
such rank insult, not only to the
miners but to the business men of Angus,
that it raised q howl Of Indignation from
all good citizens, and even the capital
istic press denounced it strong terms.
The president of the executive commit
tee, W. II. Thomas, district secretary,
and one other miner have been arrested
for participation in the riot. They deny
the charge. The operators have done
everything in their power to degrade
the miners and drive them to violence.
Injunctions were serv ID on quite num-
Der of miners restraining them from 60
ing OH certain section of land. Had
they obeyed the injunctions they could
not have gone to their own. homes. A
large number have bought houses and
lots of the company, have them more
than half paid for, and if the men can
be driven fronthe town. the property
will revert to the company, as the men
will be unable to meet their payments
when due. The Trades Assembly of this
city has taken the matter up, held one
mass meeting and raised neat little sum
for them. A committee was appointed
to assist committee from Angus in so
liclting aid from the merchants and busi-
ness men in general. ..fsa+t ..- .
Enclosed find few stamps; please
send me two copies of of the Socialist
