Miners Official Holds Citizens ALI.
ance Responsible for Outrage.
Denver, June S.-The News prints
the following interview with Vice
President Williams of the Western
Federation of Miners, who is acting in
the capacity of president during Mr..
Meyers Imprisonment in the military
bull pen at Telluride:
Troubles at Cripple Creek-tho
riot and disturbances there--are sim
ply an attempt to disrupt the union
and bring the strike to close.
ut is my candid opinion that the
Citizens alliance-an organization
that is and always has been bitterly
hostile to the unions-is at the bottom
of this attempt to break the strike by
a display of violence.
"The opinion among the miners is
that the Citizens alliance is afraid
that the committee that has just re-
turned from Cripple Creek may have
produced good results by it's visit. 1t
is to break the strike and discredit
the union that the disturbances Mon
day were started.
'As for the Citizens alliance its
members are absolutely unfair and
pay no attention to law and order.
"Our organization is founded on the
principles of truth and justice and its
members are as much interested as
other persons in suppressing lawless-
ness. Whoever committed the das
tardly crime at independence must be
found and punished and we want to
put ourselves on record rs helping to
bring that about"
