Kelliher Is Astonished.
Commenting on the address of Pres
ident Cannon and his own subsequent
action, Mr.. Kelliher said last night:
ITO say the least, / was rather aston
ished at such utterances coming from
a man occupying an alleged Christian
pulpit. In all my experience I have
never heard of such a proceeding on the
part of a religious organization. 1 had
been told that the Mormon church was
against US and was actively assisting
the Utah Fuel company to secure non
union men to take the places of the
strikers in Carbon county. I had no
idea, however. that the church would
take any official action on one side or
the other
"Of course, we cannot submit TO such
/ interference on the part of a powerful
religious organization. President Can
mons remarks can be construed in only
one way, and that is as a declaration
of war on organized labor.
And this brings up the matter of
DSenatOr-elect SmOOt. Mr.. SmOot is one
of the twelve apOstles--One of the
twelve men who control this church
that has injected itself gratuitOusly
into this labor difficulty in which it is
in no wise concerned. Mr.. Smoot owes
