ASPEN Atoms,

Regular Correspondent Enquirer,
Aspen has population of nearly 5000,
1t has two public schools that have a
large attendance. 1t has two electric light
companies that receive good patronage
from the town and many business
houses. 1t has the reputation in the
catalogue of mining camps of being sec
ond to none in this state. Furthermore,
it is contended by mining experts, that
Aspen will in the near future rank first
in the list as ore producer.
Considerable interest is noticeable
among the toilers here, as to tnis upris-
ing of the labor element throughout the
eastern states, and which has pro
claimed and achieved in its infancy a
victory although defeat in the great
city of New York.
What do you think of $4,000 for the
first Whirl out of the box. in this game
between reform and corruption or in
other words. oppressed labor versus tyr
annical capital? Was it not grand and
noble achievement, especially when we
take into consideration the locality 1t
was the stronghold of democracy, rich
politicians, ballot box suffers and the
metropolis of the nation; city that
holds IN Its power the destinies of many
great men, and to certain extent the
d1stinies of our government.
II is laughable as we'll as remarkable
to notice the car-essing and tender slap
ping upon the back the humble toilers
are receiving from presidential aspirants,
press monopolies, and corrupt politi.
clans. They now realize their positions,
and after years of complete disregard as
to the welfare of the toiling millions,
they now sing praises to them and claim
to be their friend. Beware of them, and
keep them out of the ranks. They can
not be converted, and their affiliation
would be contamination.

hood and will to stand up and advocate

The hicago Inter Ocean evidently
wants the issue between labor and capi-
tai settled not by fair, sensible "let-us-
together" means but by the clash
of steel and the boom of the bomb.
1t says: I'VE arraign the govern
ment of the Knights OF Labor because
it is opposed to the principles and
threatens the life of the republic, be-
cause it will be, If it is not now, con-
trolled by Anarchists, Nlhilists, Social
lists and Communists because it des-
troys the right to life, liberty, property
and the pursuit of happiness"
All men who desire change in exist
ing modes of robbery as practiced by
those who despoil labor of its own, are
Anarchists, Nihilists, Socialists and
Communists.

The "Eight-Hour" Pin.

Swaar & Wood, of Chicago, are making
neat pin which is emblematic of the
eight-hour movement, and which they
call the "eight hour pin" 1t retails for
25 cents, and can be bought by the
dozen at price which will allow good
profit to anyone acting as agent. In a
letter to the editor the manufacturers
say that all the profits made on these
pins for the next thirty days, or longer
if needed, will be turned over to the An
archist defense fund, as they were the
Or me movers in this cause of human
justice" A sample of the "eight-hour

Political Consolation.
For the Enquirer.

For the Enquirer.
The Weekly Call of San Francisco, in
its first issue after the late election, un-
der the heading, political Hints"
moralizes consolingly for the benefit of
its thousands of readers, who may or
may not derive from the editors few
remarks" that which will soothe the
bitterness of decidedly mixed vote in
the Golden state-thus
"The election just closed is full of po.
litical hints. The nomination of Henry
George as mayor of New York City is
one. Mr.. George had got himself en-
rolled as champion of labor. He is
crude and illogical in his theories, but
his heart was believed to be in the right
place. The Is 900 and odd votes he re-
ceived were not 30 many separate en-
dorsements of his theories. but were
rather expressions of discomfort with
the policies of the old parties. ~"
The fact that George is free-trader does
not appear to have peen much consid
cred in the contest. The $1,000 work.
ingmen who voted for him are not in
favor of free trade. They know very
well that free trade means low wages.
\ The George movemont is a
demand for a greater consideration of
TIE interests of the Iaboring man than
either of the old parties has vet given
them, The movement is not confined
to New York. 1t holds the balance of
power in the Illinois legislature and can
dictate the platform of the one Of the

TACOMA, W. T., Nov. 13.-At mass
meeting of the Socialists of Puget Sound
last evening the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, After a thorough investiga-
ton and discussion of all points of evil
dence connected with the late trial and
conviction of the eight Chicago Anarch-
lists, we find them gniltless of any crime
and recognize in the result of said trial
base attempt of capitalists. through
purchased testimony, to intimidate and
destroy all labor organizations and trade
unions, abor's right to free speech and
free assemblage, Dv the subordination of
justice and the judicial murder of those
innocent but fearless champions of our
cause therefore be it
Resolved, By the citizens of Tacoma,
Washington territory, in mass meeting
assembled, with representatives of the
Soclalistic movement of Puget Sound,

in our opinion, If those men are sacri-
feed history will record with blush of
shame, another dlsgraceful monument
of the unfaithfulness and cowardice of
the American laborers, despite all tn cir
boasted cries of reform"
Perhaps it would be an interesting
piece of information to the modern ex-
ponents Of knownothingism to learn
that nlne-tenths of the Socialists of Pu.
get Sound are Americans, and faithful
believers in the Declaration of indie
pendence, that almost obsolete docu-
ment, the wage slaves hope, the capi-
talist's nightmare. 1 can also assure
you that they do not believe in sus-
tanning in high positions of trust the po-
litical prostitutes who thus assume by
legalized assassination to deprive US Of
our constitutional rights as American
citizens, slaves though we at present are.

against the two old parties than an en-
dorsement of O'Donnell himself"
How very amusing it is 70 aee these
capitalistic editors endorse both sides OF
a question and vet neitherl A paper OF
the size and status ofthe Call, run solely
in the interest Of the owners and incl
dentally in that Of those who furnish
the most Of its support, viz, other own
ers of other commercial enterprises run
for self-aqgrandizement and self-emolu-
ment, is still expected to furnish few
editorial opinions On what Is going on
among the people. No one who UNDER
stands the inner workings of great
moneyed newspaper enterprises expects
their editorials to stand up for any par
ticular principle or to enunciate even
the same opinions, weak as they are, for
| two successive issues. Then how can
we expect them to take sides for or
against any great measure before the
world and. risking possible loss, uphold
consistent principle from one years
end to another?
To "damn with faint praise" the fear
less Henry George by admitting that
his heart was believed to be in the
right place" may be added to the fat
tery of having his name mentioned at
all in so great a paper, but even this is
accounted for in the trembling admis-
sion that the George movement is not
co fined to New York, but showed
itself" even in California.
Here again. however, we are not to
suppose that the workingmen are so ig-
norat as to vote for O'nonnell because
thev wanted him or IN the least en-
dorsed his reform ideas, but they sim
ply wished to ''protest against the two
old parties"
The subsidized press all over the
country has been obliged in the same
way to make note on the late perplex-
ing results of the elections. They find
that the "labor element" the Socialist
element" and even the Anarchist ele-
ment' are being heard at the polls, and
that their leaders are getting them
selves enrolled" as champions,I though
their theories be considered. by mo-
4 nopolists and partisans after the pelf of
Office, as ''crude and Illogical"
Many men who have hitherto, while
belonging to the old parties. been con-
sidered respectable" now that they
vote for social reform and the rights of
the many as against the few, are either
vilifed as Socialists" "Prohibitionists'.
or Anarchists" or members of any
other dreadful imaginary clique; or,
with characteristic sycophancy, are
patted on the back with the admission
that they "hold the balance of power"
somewhere and can dictate terms to
either of the old parties.
Meantime the protesting business goes
on. The people all over the world are
protesting against every sort of wrongs
under which the human family suffer,
and the usurers and usurpers of our gov
eminent, in common with the ruling
; despots of the old world, see that when
the masses begin to protest with the
power of reason and the ballot thev
would do we'll for their own safety to
stand from under" A. L. W.

The Labor Question.

For The Enquirer.
A man can be as bright, as we'll edu
Gated, as inventive, and can do the word
as much good on So day as on $4,000
1t is therefore unnecessary tlat one
should be rlcb before he can do a bless,
ing to humanity. Wealthy people have
organized the industrious into great and
advantageous lndust ries. When the
workers have sense enough to organize
themselves into these great bodies, then
the rich organizer will become worth
less factor IN society and should and
will then be abolished. A factory lord
simply organizes a thousand hands in
his factory, or they cooperate with each
other as one cooperative body, and he
takes the proceeds. The labor question
is simply this: When will laboring
people have sense enough to organize
themselves and abolish the boss ?
Organization is the first step in labor
reform. Without it there can be no
steps taken. The scab is the worst en-.
emy, for boss believes in and practices
organization. A demand that the boss
shall obey the workmen and the scab
must be exterminated, is just war-cry
