Bisbee daily review., 1903-12-13
UNION OR NO UNION.

An organizer has struck Bisbe,
 He has come 10 lift the struggling miner out Of the slough of despond and starvation and place his feet upon the firm ground of well-the ground will be provided later
 MT. Kennedy seems to feel hurt be- cause he has not been received by an ovation in this camp. The band was not at the depot, neither was he welcomed by a delegation of strug- gling(?) miners, whose lot, under the policy of the Copper Queen, has be- come unbearable(O or is likely to become unbearable(?) in the future.
 The public of Bisbee has not been furnished with list of grievances that has brought this saviour of the miners into their midst. but the dis turbances, lockouts. boycotts, strife, terror, bad feeling and the other ad- juncts are no doubt reserved for an after consideration.
 Mir. Kennedy has landed in the wrong town. He has misjudged the class Of miners at present employed here, who pay more attention to their homes, their families and their work than they do to the fighting of booze" It is not strange that the self-constituted organizer should meet with cold reception in Bisbee. The sentiment that exists in Bisbee today against the interference of the West ern Federation in Bisbee, has been molded by a policy of kindness and consideration on the part of the Cop per Queen Co. towards its employees, that has extended back over a period of twenty years. The people of Bis bee, including the miner. the laborer the business man and the artisan. are still willing, and much prefer to trust the future welfare and prosperity of this camp in the hands of this con- pany than any organization on earth that could gain a foothold in Bisbee.
 In conversation with the organizer who has come here on his own hook, and who was not accredited by the Western President of the Federation neither by the District Deputy in Ari- zOna, he is afraid that something will happen in the vag-e and distant flu ture that will require 8 union in Bis bee. And then he adds. with a swell ing of the chest and the knowledge of all the ages: What assurances have the miners (down trodGen and helpless) that the liberal policy of the Copper Queen company is to be continued in the future as in the past?
 This is the excuse Of this mischief maker for his appearance in Bisbee at this time. He is suddenly seized with a dread foreboding that the long established policies and rules that have endured for twenty years are to be brushed aside, and instead thereof a monster is to be enthroned, and Mir. Kennedy is here. voluntarily, to eat the monster and save the min CTS. Blessed man. It is strange that the women and children are not following him about the street.
 The sentiment in Bisbee is against the union and Mir. Kennedy is sim ply wasting his time and energy among the miners of this camp.
 Instead of being benefit it would be a calamity. Instead of unexcell- co. prosperity and good feeling there would reign dissension and strife The agitator, a half brother of the gentleman now in our midst, would flourish and grow fat. Bisbee would be drained to keep up the fight in Colorado. And what is poor, abus- ed Bisbee to receive in return for these so-called benefits. We think we can hear voice in the future say ing: ''Bisbee was a good, prosper our camp in 1903; it went to pieces in 1904, after the arrival of the Western Federation
