TELLER SPEAKS WORD
FOR WESTERN MINERS
Declares His Belief in Innocence
of Officials of Western
Federation.
Says Fair Minded People Of Colo
RADIO Take No Stock in
Idaho Charges.

Colfax, WASH, Oct. 4.-United States
Senator Teller, Of Colorado, and his
wife, spent Tuesday night at the Hotel
Colfax, on their way home from Lewis
ton, Idaho, where they had been enjoy
ing an outing and visiting relatives
In an interview Senator Teller said
that among the respectable people of
Colorado there Is an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone, who are now in jail In
Idaho awaiting trial as accomplices in
the murder of Ex-Governor Steunen-
berg
The fa1r-minded people Of my state
take no stock in the charges against
these men, said the senator, ''because
they know them and respect them for
the self-control and law-abiding dispo-
s1tion which they manifested during
the mining troubles in Colorado Not
only did they pursue a very conserva-
tive course themselves, but they con-
trolled their followers to a remarkable
extent under the circumstances
Harry Orchard also is known in our
state, and the people who are familiar
no reliance in his alleged confession.
They place 1t on a par with the confess
sion of man who was arrested during
the Cripple Creek troubles on a charge
of attempting to wreck train. He
confessed his guilt and said he was
paid 5000 to do the job by a represent
tat1ve Of the miners union. He was
tried before Judge Lewis and repeated
his story on the witness stand, but be-
fore the cross examination was over
admitted that he was hired to do the
work by a private detective in the en-
ploy of the mine owners, instead of
by the miners union. These mine own
ers have demonstrated by their acts
that they do not hesitate to ADOPT
any means to carry out their avowed
intention Of crushing the organization
of the miners.
For these reasons the vast majority
Of the best people of Colorado believe
that, If given fair trial to which thew
are entitled, Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone will be acquitted"

of Borrowing widows and weeping
children that otherwise would never
feel the touch of fellow sympathy. Or
ganiZed labor has caused many noble
hearted fellow that was treading that
narrow precipice of dissipation and
ruin to brace up and be man. It
has Americanized thousands Of for
eigners and made of them respectable
and useful citizens. 1t has reached
the open palm to those who needed
charity because of misfortunes that
had stricken their homes. This is
what labor unions have done. They
have, above all else, pied for the
things that make for manhood. The
bylaws of any local are filled with the
highest of moral precepts, urging hon.
esty among their fellows, pleading for
education and demanding at all times
decency, respect and fairness.
The ideal that the union man has
set for himself is a noble one. Choos
ing to obey the old command that
charity should begin at home" he
seeks first the education of his i'm
mediate fellow workman, and after;
wards of all wage earners. If you
wish to term this as selfish or in any
way uncomfortable, then you must
not discriminate when you come to
class the various fraternal orders and
beneficiary societies of our country
Labor unions are employing at the
present time what has been found to
be the most feasible means Of streng-
thening themselves and for drawing
new members into their ranks. The
insisting upon a minimum scale of
wages, the demanding of certain ex-
plicit conditions under which it's men
shall be allowed to work, the urging
of the "closed shop" and the con-
tention for collective bargaining as
the safest plans are but practical
means to which organized labor has
resorted in order to maintain itself
and to protect the victories that it
has won for the struggling masses"
upon whose wellbeing, content and
peace depends quite certainly the des-
tiny Of the American Republic.
We rejoice today that human slav-
cry has been swept from the Amer
lean soil. Let us thank heaven, also,
that the time of oppression for the
man who tolls, whether he be white
or black, has passed and gone for
ever. Surely brighter day is dawn
ing for the American laboring man.
Let the period of his oppression and
the hours Of his darkest struggle In
years gone by, serve as reminder Of
the necessity of carrying forward and
Strengthening the cause for which or
ganized labor stands today. Only by
strict adherence to the principles of
unionism as we now have them can
labor hope to hold fast to the victor
les already won, and by no other
means than by protecting these prin-
c1ples ought labor ever expect to carry
forward this grand worlds work that
1t has taken up. s

EIGHT HOUR LAW WILL
COVER DULUTH HARBOR
President Roosevelt Extends
Scope of New Eight Hour
Law to Harbor Work,

President Roosevelt's new order on
the observance of the eight hour law
will apply to all harbor work This
will be of interest to workingmen of
Duluth and Superior.
Charles P. Neill, commissioner of la
Dor, who at the direction of the pres
1dent has had charge since last winter
of the enforcement Of the eight hour
law, has sent to the president report
of which the following is the conclud-
ing paragraph:
II might add that I found that one
noticeable effect has already been pro-
duced in this matter of the eight hour
law. Contractors fully realize now that
the law is going to be enforced with
earnestness and they no longer dismiss
it as matter Of no consequence. They
probably like the law less than ever.
but their attitude none the less is
rapidly changing into one of becoming
respect for the statute.

STEAMER Is ABANDONED

Superior, Wis, Jan. 15.-The steamer
George Spencer, which went ashore
near Thomasville, on the north shore Of
Lake Superior in the gale Of Nov. 81,
has been abandoned, by Whitney Bros,
who had taken contract to release her.
The firm succeeded in getting the coal
cargo from the vessel, but found the
bottom of the boat so badly stove that
it would not be worth while to save the
hulk.
Captain James Reid and his crew Of
wreckers are working on the steamer
Manila at Eencampment island. The
task is difficult one, as the boat will
require lacking three feet the entire
length Of the hulk. A high sea has IN
terfered with the work.
