tion Of Miners, said editorially in a
recent issue: "Deportations were in
force here when the Western Fedora
tion held full swsy-they are in force

Federation ran things with toe strong

Cripple Creek district sort of purga-

handful of socialistic leaders who
insisted on making of it huge politi-
cal machine was back Of it all. There
is where the whole trouble started.
Probably 80 per cent of all the mem
bers were good, honest, law abiding
citizens but the 10 per cent held the
Offices and used the main body as a
club with which to enforce their
demands. But on the principle that
two wrongs do not make a right the
citizens who are now on top should
insist on policy of moderation and
forbearence and by that means keep
