 IT. Darrow went on at length to Dut1sns the organization of the Western < rederation of Miners. He declared It { Was nothing but a beneficial associa- n1on trying to uplift It's class. It was not until years after the organization that MT. Haywood or Mover took an pfzice in t.
 we are not here to apologize for nnyxhing that the Western Federation pf Miners has done" declared MT. Dar- rovks Tt has been fighting organiza- tfod from the first and if 1t dies, 1t will die . fighting organization. It has had . fabulous career; 1t has been opposed by Every device of mine owners, but 1t has been prosperous. Before the Wes- tern Federation of Miners came into sxistence the miners had to work frora twelve to fourteen hours a day. When they wanted food they had to buy 1t at kheaeompany's store. When they were injured they were taken to the com { pany hospitals, where there was little diniculty getting a statement releasing the company from all damage
 "The conditions are vastly different today The Butte union alone has paid more than S1,000,000 to the widows and orphans of its members this during the time this alleged crirn- final conspiracy existed"
 Mfr. Darrow went at some length to show the troubles and opposition the union has had since its inception. In some communities, he declared. the present organization went to visit the miners and was refused bread and lodg- ing by the mining companies.
 Arrests have come thick and fast" the attorney continued; some of the charges are purely imaginary and In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the men have not even been given the grace of a trial As soon as the Western Fed eration of Miners was born, the mine owners set about to destroy 1t and as tho chief means of destruction they hired the Pinkertons. with Mcfarland Ut its head.
 We will show you that this agency has been busy sleuthing, following, working and lying to get these men. We will show that they have hired de- tectiyes and placed them in positions of responsibility as secretaries and prest- dents of local unions; that these hired men continually advised the miners to strike. and that when strike was on, counselled violence, dynamite and murder. They did it at Telluride; they did 1t at Criple Creek and at many other places.
 Accuses PinkertOns.
 fWe will show that the Pinkerton Detective Agency has been a chief xactor in this case from the very be- ginning. They have organized them selves into a band to spread calumny against the Western Federation of Miners. We will show that in ono case, where a cage fell because of de- fectfve machinery, and sixteen men were killed, 1t was laid to the West ern Federation of Miners. The burning of Moscow University was laid to the the leader of the Western Federation of Miners Every illegitimate child born west of the Mississippi has been wrapped in its swaddling clothes. hur- ried to Denver and laid on the door step of the Western Federation ofaMin- ers,"
 Mr. Darrow turned his attention to The Miners Magazine. He said prob things crept in it, but the editors had no college education, and Mover and Pettibone paid little attention to 1t. s'We will read you matter from the Miners Magazine not introduced by the -State; we will show that they did not advise violence, and they counselled a wise administration and discussed the economic conditions temporarily.
 Continuing, MT. Darrow said: This brings us to 1899, and the troubles in the Occur d'Alenes, when Steunenberg was Governor. The Western Federa- tion of Miners were getting along all right. Then something happened. An Irresponsible mob of 1000 people, made up of miners and merchants. preachers and hangers on, and every one who wanted a ride, went down, and tho Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mines were blown up. The powder was furnished by rival company. At that time Harry Orchard, who, in this case, had been there for a month, was carrying a union card. Jack Simpkins was in the Occur d'Alenes.
 "Then came the call for troops Rightly or wrongly, Steunenberg called for troops. Jack Simpkins was ar rested and thrown into the bull pen. He was maltreated. He was stood up at a post by a colored soldier and bayonet was driven into his breast.
 Here as at other points in his speech, MT. Darrows' sarcasm caused wave of laughter. Some times the ballins had to rap for order.
 Wanderings of Orchard.
 Mir. Darrow briefly sketched the pVanderings of Orchard as related by that witness. Orchard remained in the Couer d'Alene, he said, trying to re- gain possession of his one sixteenth interest in the Hercules mine until he was driven out by fear of arrest and confinement in the bull pen"
 "Then he wandered from place to place, seldom working" said MT. Dar- row. He was a sort of gentlemanly miner who mined the miners. In 1902. he turned up in Cripple Creek But from 1899 to 1902, this important per sonage in American history Is all ex- cept lost to view. Pretty certain.
 Harry Orchard was in the Couer d'Alene. Harry Orchard was a cheap soldier of fortune, a shoe string gamb- Ter who had never done days work in his life. He owned sixteenth share of the Hercules mine, but sold 1t because of his needs and continued his gambling. The mine did not yield un- til 1901. But Orchard, hoping on, stayed around to get a share of the mine
 We don't think that Orchard was at the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mills. We will show he was not there and we will show that he was engaged in his fla vorite occupation of gambling with the
