resolution concerning the charges
growing out of the presence of United

federal constitution at the individual
request Of the governor, when no riot
existed and without consulting the leg
islature or the local sheriff. 1t is as
serted that General Merriam declared

out warrant of law arrested hundreds
of citizens and held them under
most brutal and tyrannical condi
tions." The arrests, it is charged, in
cluded many members of the Miners
union and the local sheriff. It is as
serted that many men We're imprisoned
in bull pen, place unfit for human
habltation." Allegation is made that
one prisoner became insane from the
treatment. and, escaping, was shot as
he jumped into a river. In another
case it is charged a dying prisoner was

acts of cruelty are given, including
compulsory standing erect for several
hours each day in the hot sun, under
penalty of death if attemN was made

ments were being inflicted
The resolution also recites that the
wives and families of the miners were
insulted by soldiers and it is alleged
that responsibility for the various ac-
tions rests with the mining companies
