A Murderer
Of Billy Green
He Returns To Tria'dad From
The Pen and Is Assaulted BY
John Green

A special telegram from Trinidad
Colo, to the Denver Republican of
Thursday morning states that Nestor
Martinez, a nephew of Senator Barela,
was badly beaten over the head with
a revolver Wednesday morning by
John Green, formerly of Las Vegas.
The assault was the result of crime
committed about eight years ago at
the settlement of San Isidro. about
fifteen miles southeast OF Trinidad
William Green, brother Of the
man who assaulted Martinez Wednes-
day morning, was deputy United
States marshal, as was also John Kel.
ly The two deputies went out to
San Isidro, where Martinez makes HIS
home. to arrest cattle thieves. They
did nor return and an investigation
was started
Foul play was suspected and final
ly, through the confession Of wo-
man who lived in the settlement, IL
was learned that Green aud Kelly had
been killed and their bodies burned.
The men were arrested for the
crime, Martinez among the number
AN the members OF the gang were
sentenced to the pententiary, some
of them for life, Martinez's sentence
being sixteen years. After serving o
short time Martinez was pardoned
Wednesday morning was the first
time that John Green has met hin
since his return from the pen, and HI
could not resist the temptation tt
express his opinion In a forceful man
ncr of one who assisted in his broth
er's murder. Green was arrested fol
the assault. but Martinez refused ut
appear against him. The affail
caused considerable of sensation.

make up this shortage before the poll
is taken next week and their success,
which is regarded by many as not i'm
probable, will mean the passing Of
Sam Gompers as a national labor
leader.
The powerful labor organizations
that stand for what Is known As in.
dustrialism" in the labor movement
are with Duncan and Mitchell. In.
dustrialism means the grouping OF
several trades under one head. 1t
Is opposed to trade autonomy,
whose champion Gompers has con-
sistently been.
The principle for which President
Gompers contends is that each trade.
no matter how small, shall manage
its own affairs and receive the pro-
lection of the federation, The Com
pers element charge that the opposi
ton is endeavoring, virtually, TO es-
tablish trust within the ranks Of
the labor organization. His friends
declare. moreover, that Gompers has
shown himself to be not open to pol
itical influences; and that Mitchells
friendship for President Roosevelt Is
to some extent n motive power in
the present contest. This latter
statement is vigorously denied by
President Mitchell and those who
have aligned themselves with him in
the fight.
Aside from this contest for the
presidency important questions viii
be considered and acted upon that

vital interest TO organized labor the

AMERICAN
FEDERATION
Shall "Industrialism"O or "Trade
Autonomy" Triumph. The
Question to BE Fought
Out

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Nov. 12.--
The largest congress of labor leaders
ever held on the Pacific coast, as far
as the numbers represented and the
interests involved are concerned, Will
begin in this city next Monday with
the opening Of the twenty fourth an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. More than one mil
lion organized workingmen in the
United States are sending thei dele
gates--300 in ALTO represent them.
President Gompers and the executive
council reached this city today and
at once began work on the arrange
ments and other business preliminary
to the opening of the convention. The
guests Of honor at the convention will
be William Abraham, Nj. p. and j.
Wignall. fraternal delegates from the
British Trades Union congress.
Evidence Is abundant that the com,
ing convention will be the most i'm
portant in the history Of the fedora
tion. The organization has split into
several elements, among which ser
ious differences exist and there is no
attempt to conceal the fact that a
bitter fight to settle the question OF
supremacy has arisen.
In the first place. there is fight
for the presidency, which Is really d
continuation Of last years contest In
Boston. A central figure in the con
test is James Duncan, of Massachu
sets, who is the present first vice
president of the federation. He Is
again a candidate for first place on
the ticket, and the battle will be
fought to finish between his friends
and those of Samuel Gompers, who i;
trying for reelection.
Duncan is backed by the powerful
granite cutters organization, of which
he is national secretary, and by JohI
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
The delegates in the convention vii
represent about 10000 votes At tht
convention in Boston last year Dun
can and his supporters were onl.
about 1000 votes short of control
They are making colossal efforts {,
