union, learned today that the United Tex

ganization would not give them the sup
port which they were led TO believe they
would have, and the feeling is quite bit

have claimed all along that the strike
had the sanction OF the emergency com

The claim OF the emergency committee
is that the strikers went out before the
executive council had had an opportunity
TO act on the matter.
The conditions remain about the same,
so far as the attitude Of the mill mana ge-

weavers today sent out much larger COM

ADDITIONAL
EVIDENCE IN
SM00T CASE

Washington. March lie. b. Critchlow
OF Salt Lake, formerly assistant United
States district attorney in Utah, was the
case. An open letter from Moses
Thatcher TO President Snow is the plat
form on which he had waged his cam
paign for senator as introduced. and Mr..
Critchlow referred to threats which had
been made against Thatcher In editorials
in the Desert News.
In the year OF 1901 was introduced the
Evans -polygamy bill 10 limit prose-
cutions for certain classes OF offences
President Snow and Joseph +. Smith
were In favor OF the bill. said AIR. Critch-
low, and Mr.. Smoot was quoted as recon-
mending that the measure be LEFT TO the
good sense OF the people. The witness
told OF the passage of the bill by vote
OF 25 10 II in the house, the veto by
the governor and the sustaining OF the
veto.
Mr.. Critchlow said the governor was
a Mormon but that the sentiment Of the
country demanded the veto on the
grounds that II would defend the practice
OF polygamy and present prosecutions OF
violations Of the law against polygamous
cohabitation. The veto was put In evil
dence.
The veto shows that the governor
feared that the passage OF the measure
would be followed by a general demand
for constitutional amendment directed
solely at conditions I'm Utah and that the
demand could not be ignored. Gov. Wells
said the result would be that the whole
state would eb put under a ban. The
Evans bill prohibited prosecutions for
polygamy. except when the husband or
wife filed complaint.
Following the history Of the state down
TO Mr. Shoots candidacy for the senate,
Mr.. Critchlow said Mr.. Smoot announced
his candidacy first in 1900 and that the
announcement met with decided opposi-
tion from Republicans and others
