ing the situation in Cripple Creek, in
reply to the statement made by Gen

"The only questions involved are the
enforcement of the eight-hour day, the
right of men to organize in the unions
and to prevent discrimination against
union men Of all kinds. The response
bility for the lawlessness connected
