Determined to Kill Unionism.
Cripple Creek Col, June 10-''Death
to unionism in the Cripple Creek dis
trict," is the new slogan of the Citizens
alliance which has sent q decree broad!
EAST that every person connected with
any union must either sever his or her
connection with such organization or
leave the district. A form is being pre-
pared for presentation to every mer-
chant and business man and other en-
ployers of labor in the entire district,
pledging them not to employ any person
who is afiliating with labor union.
This is considered the most drastic step
yet taken by the alliance since it Sc
cured the upper hold in the district, and
its enforcement will affect 5000 men
and women now affiliated with the vari-
Gus unions. Among the unions that will
be affected with the new movement are
the clerks, cooks. and walters, bartend-
ers, carpenters, electricians, trainmen
and stone and brick masons. Theunion-
lists assert they will fight the movement
to finish.
