the labor unions of the country.
To the Labor Unions of the United
States:
There has been considerable said
in connection with the arrests of the
officers of the Western Federation
of Miners and the confession made
by Harry Orchard, who has declared
in sworn confession that he, in re-
sponse to arrangements with the ac-
cused officers of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, did murder the
late Governor Steunenberg of this
state This discussion has involved
certain allegations. the manner of
the arrest and subsequent proceed
ings.
May Hear Orchards Confession.
desire to say to the labor unions
of the country that if by some ar
rangement the various unions will
arrange to send delegation to this
city I will be pleased to allow that
delegation to meet Harry Orchard
personally and to hear him go over
the story told to the states attorney
and the detectives. They can remain
with him in my chamber and hear
him tell all over again what he has
already told us. I will also present
to them Steve Adams, who has also
m ade confession.
Further than this 1 want to assure
every person whether he be a union
or non union man that the state of
Idaho will give the accused men a
fair chance to defend themselves and
as fair a trial as ever held will be
given these men. Men, you need
have no fear of a mis-trial. Upon
conviction, if the unions believe that
an unfair or biased trial was given
then you can remember that I will
have the power as governor. of this
state to hear your grievance and
prevent a miscarriage Of justice.
City Full of Detectives.
The little city Of Boise is just food

of Detective MCFARLAND, who makes
his headquarters at the Idaho hotel,
where he also has a full office staff
of typewriters and clerks, also at the
expense of the county. Just what
they do to keep busy few can tell,
but the gumshoe men ramble about
in a most mysterious manner.

tarily increases Wages
.. of Workmen.

IRONWOOD. Mich, March 2S.-The
outlook for the coming summer and
fall in the Iron district" promises to
be the best since the early days. Prac-
tically every mine on this range has
it's ore already sold and, in fact, as
much more as can be moved the COM
ing year. Stock piles in this section
are gradually looming up and increas-
ing fast as all miners who apply for
positions are speedily given work.
The entire force Of the Oliver Min
ing company here, including all miners
and surface men, were notified of an
8 to 10 per cent raise, beginning the
first of the month. Other mining COM
panies here have followed suit The
men did not apply for the increase and
it was complete surprise to the COM
munity.
Business men. contemplating feeling
the effects of prosperous times, are
increasing their stocks to supply the
summers demand, which is bound to
come.
The weather has been such the past
few days as to "open up the lake
and as soon as navigation begins ore
will be shipped to Ashland as fast as
the railroads can handle it.
Taking all into. consideration the
coming summer promises to be one
which will not soon be forgotten in
the iron sections.

April IS, to decide the question
whether the Lake Seamens' union or
the Longshoremen, Marine and Trans

Mine Owners Who Want

Leaders.

Have courage. I will prove my in
nocence, and this attempt to railroad
us will but add strength to our union.
Right must win, and we have right on
our side. In the great struggle be-
tween capital and labor, those who

because of the strength of capital. I

nocence and will see fair play DONE"
:. When the proclamation Of Governor
G0oding to the workingmen of the
United States became public, immedi-
ately the public prosecutor rushed to
the capitol building and had an inter-
view with the governor. At the close
OF the Interview Prosecutor Hawley
gave out the following statement:
The evidence which the prosecution

no confessions will be published

appointed for that purpose. I have
said repeatedly that this is a matter
that must so to the court and jury,
and it is time enough for the evidence
to be MADE known when it is given
from the witness stand.
Governor Sees Reporter.
After the interview between the Gov
ernor and HaWley the governor saw
the newspaper reporters, and when
questioned concerning the proclamation
admitted having made the statement
put declared that he did not mean that
orchard was going to tell all he knew.
Then it you don't intend allowing
the delegation to question Orchard with
relation to his confession what is the
sense Of their coming all the way from
the East here?' said one of the news
paper rcrorters.
"Well they can have talk with him

any advantage of them. That is to

ernor Gooding declared he was going
out Of town Cor the next two days
to look after his cattle range.
Trial Takes Place in June.
1t was also announced the trial
would probably not take place until
some time in June. The attorneys for
the defense demanded a speedy trial
but it is apparent that the state de-
sires that the trial will not take place
for some time to come. OF this Gov
ernor Gooding said:
(Which shows that we are not at
tempting to railroad these men, we
want to give them ample time in which

squalid quarters. 1t seeks to civilize
and elevate, not brutify and lower the
people.
Labor orga MIA tions assist it's
sick members by paying sick benefits,
ranging from SO to $40 per week, for
periods covering from five to twenty
or more weeks Of year, and it is not
rare proceeding for labor union to
assist the sick and needy who are
not members. All manner of deserv-
ing charitable enterprises number their
we'll wishers and general contributor
among the labor unions. In sick and
death benefits alone the amounts paid
out by labor unions aggregate a vast
sum yearly.
The efforts of labor unions are not
confined alone to increasing ages and
shortening the workday, but reach OUT
in diverse directions in an endeavor
to educate and elevate the individual,
protect his life, limbs and health, and
make his home happier. They promote
the highest type Of citizenship and
the public health and we'll being.
If a tithe of the charity which or
ganized labor expents for and feels for
the great mass of the people was ex-
tended to organized labor, it would be
heard Of as public benefactor, never
a public menace, and it's greatness ana
worth, not it's weaknesses and excesses
be in the mouths of it's critics.
These features are, however, care
fully overlooked and it's weaknesses
which invariably. operate more injur-
iously against itself than against it's
opponents given undue consideration.

NEW COMPANY UNFAIR.

A company of New York canital-
lists have purchased the controlling in
terests of the Crowel Pub Co., pub
fishers of 'Womap's Home Compan-
ion," and continue under the old firm
name. "Crowell Pub. Co."
While the new company may emplov

have shown no disposition to do so In
Springfield. Advertisers and news
dealers over the country have been led
to believe that, the present company
has adjusted the differences which ex-
1st between Typographical Union and
the CroweH Pub. Co., for the past six
months. but such Is not the case as
the new owners have given the union
to understand that they are. we'll sat
1sfied with present non-union con-
dttions and are continuing with the
force of ''scabs' that was turned over
to them by the retiring company.
From the foregoing, it can be seen
that "Woman's Home Companion re-
mains unfair. The ablishment Of

dustry is mutually advantageous to all
classes Of labor and your discrimin-
alton against "Woman's Home Com

The Woman's Union Label League OF
Galveston was organized a little over
a year ago with ten members who were
wives and daughters of union men. The
membership now is almost a hundred.
Isn't that fine record? It is reported
that the Label League has caused more
union goods to be on sale in the diff
ferent stores at Galveston than all the
balance of organized labor in the city.
This Is certainly record to be proud
of, and we desire to congratulate our
sisters on their success, and wish that
the good work may continue. .:

GOVERNOR GOODlNG OF IDAHO TELLS
UNIONS THEY May HEAD CONFESSIONS

counsel and Attorney Clarence Dar-
row of Chicago, the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners have decided to en-
gage w. Bourke Cochran of New
York and another prominent GRIM
inal lawyer whose name would not
be given for publication.
"Let them get all the counsel they
want" declared Governor Gooding
today. ''The more able they are the
better for me, because I am partic-
ularly desirous that there should be
no doubt as to their having a fair
trial." he said.
States Hand Hidden.
Aside from the confession of Orch
ard, who is said to have been at one
time in the employ. of the mine own
ers, and an alleged confession Of Steve
Adams, former. miner and the per-
sistent declaration. of Governor Good
ing, these men are guilty beyond a
doubt" little can be learned of the
states case against the miners.
When one asks Detective MOZART
land as to the case. against them, he
refers you to the now much worn
confession. Inquiry of the governor
as to why he believes the officers of
the miners union guilty, brings the
same reference to the mems confess
sion. Both deny that Orchard was
ever a detective or in the employ Of
the mine owners. but give as their in
formant Orchard himself, a confessed
murdered, who calmly declares in his
confession that he murdered thirty
persons. In an hours interview with
Governor 'Gooding on the case, in
which he was told of the intimation
that an effort was being made to rail-
road these men because of their po-
sitions in the union and the many
strikes they are alleged to have caus-
ed, the governor said little except
to repeat that the men were guilty.
"All the money that the mine own
ers Of this state or of the state of
Colorado have, couldn't be able to
cause an unfair trial. If the confess
sions are untrue and contain false
hoods, the attorneys for the men will
have a chance at Orchard.'
"Guilty, Sure," Says Gooding.
Don't you think it will have a ten
dency to prejudice the people of this
county and, in fact, of the whole state
