LABOR'S PRESIDENT
SCORES GOV. PEABODY
Holds Colorado Executive Responsible for the Reign of
Terror in Cripple Creek-Acts as an Outlaw

President Gompcrs, of the American
Federation Of Labor. denounces in Wig
orous terms the action Of the Colorado
authorities for their methods in dealing
with the labor troubles in that State
He says that tho governor is the one
man above all others responsible for
the reign of terror now prevailing in
the Cripple Creek district and character
ICES him as a fragrant vioIator of civil
laws and human rights.

AS for the recent dynamite outrage
Mr.. Gompers had only words OF de-
nunciation. and said that ht could not
conceive that II was the work Of any
organized body Of men.
An Individual Act.
It cannot believe" he continued. that
such an act of lawlessness was the re-
suit of any prearranged plan of any
body Of miners. 1t must have been an
individual act
I am more than ever firm In my be-
lief that the acts of Governor Peabody
himself were originally and solely re-
sponsible for the present situation. AS

and did so.
Judge Albert F. Frost, county judge,

recorder, who are in Pueblo attending
the Democratic convention, will be asked

Every Man Walking Arsenal.

Citizens Alliance headquarters. for a
mass meeting TO be addressed by the

armed squads were searching for several
men.
Lyuching is again freely talked Of, and
almost every man IS a walking arsenal.

opportunity for hearing granted. Others
have been driven from their homes
ana forbidden TO return on pain Of
personal violence or death.
The acts OF the governor and the
manner Of his acts have all tended 10
provoke rather than to allay hostili-
ties. Under such circumstances. the
present situation Of lawlessness is not
surprising.
If civil law is to be trampIed
under foot by the highest officer of the
State. sworn to enforce such law. no
one can deny that citizens themselves
are encouraged thereby 70 a spirit of
disregard for law and the rights Of
others. Governor Peabody's own acts
are nothing less than anarchy.
Provokes the Trouble.
II wish also to say that from my per
sonal observations in Colorado. found
that so-called Citizens Alliance was
a provoker Of trouble. rather than a
pacifier.
The Alliance is a body Of capitarstic
anarchists. There is nothing that has
been charged against organized labor
that its members themselves have not
been guilty OF.

The purpose OF the meeting IS to pre-

So far as Mr.. Payne knows only con-

as the committee will go out OF exist

weeks.
The States OF the principal contests
are New York. Wisconsin, Texas UniO.
Louisiana, Missouri. Alabama, and Della
