Re it resolved, by the State Branch
of Maine in convention assembled.
We firmly and unhesitatingly con-
denim the resort to violence in times of
strike. and we deplOre and condemn
the act of any man, union or non union
who violates the laws of the country
and of rights of his neighbor as shown
by the recent terrible explosion Of
dynamite in Colorado.
But Justice demands that the true
condition in Colorado should be given
the utmost publicity.
We declare that the present condi-
ton of lawlessness and anarchy is due
to the mine owners association and
allied capitalist organizations.
For months the Republican form of
government has broken down and a
reign of military despOtism has ensued.
For months the trades unions move
ments has defended the will of the peo-
pie and suffered a persecution. the sim
ilarity of which can be found only in
terrOriZed Russia.
BY an overwhelming majority Of 49,
ia votes the people of Colorado decid-
ed in favor of an eight hour day.
But they defeated the will of the
people by influence upon the legislature
though all the members of both parties
were pledged to establish the law.
The miners then struck in defense of
the will of the people. and for months
the miners have endured persecution
and tyranny never before attempted in
this country.
Through Gov. Peabody. the tool of
the mine owners association, military
law was established and militia were
sent into the mine with the openly
avOwed intention mot Of REFRESHING
violence but of breaking the strike"
Moreover the mine owners and other
associations advanced money to pay
the militia thus changing the military
force of the state into private police
for the mine owners association.
Gov. Peabody has further overridden
the civil law. and suspended the writ Of
habeas corpus. thus violating the un-
DERIVING safeguard Of this Republic.
Labor leaders have been expelled
from their homes: men have been ar
rested as paupers with money in their
pockets; one hundred. men were
