After Semple AGAIN.

MIuSIj WHICH Is pIdCClCdIly private
ly owned press, is exploiting the labor
movement for private gain, and |
which If thoroughly investigated |
would place 1t in the position as be-
ing Unfair to organized labor, for
does it not advise by creating race
prejudice, to force our brothers,
members of the Western Federation |
of Miners, out of employment, there
by creating conditions favorable to
the mine owners of the Warren dis |
trict. "-Excerpt from resolutions
adopted by Globe Miners union, No.
go, Western Federation of Miners,
and by the local Globe socialist party.
The Globe socialist party passed
the following resolution, in which
Editor Semple is greatly interested;
ga paper has recently been started
in Globe, supposedly a labor paper,
but from the policy of this paper one
is forced to the conclusion that it is
attempting to carry water on both
shoulders. The interests of capital
and labor are Numerically opposed,
and this paper which is creating this
race prejudice and which Is advising
that the foreigners employed in this
district be thrown out of employ
ment, which policy, if followed out
to its ultimate end, would create bet
ter conditions for the corporate and
business interests to the detriment of
the interests of the working class.
"We, the members of local Globe
socialist party, in struggling to build
up the labor movement of Globe,
both politically and industrially, en-
ployed one whom we believed thor
oughly understood the working class
movement I. A. Hickey of Butte.
But since he has become the associate
editor of the Globe Miner and is
directly connected with it, and as we
believe that the policy as adopted by
this paper to be detrimental to the
interests of the working class, do re-
pudiate this paper and its associate
editor.
"We, as socialists and as industrial
unionists, ask you, our brothers in
this class struggle, for the sake of
our struggling brothers in Bisbee and
! for the glorious organization we have
built up, to go on record as repudiat-
ing this paper and its policy, for we
believe that it is assuming to dictate
the policy of the labor unions of
Globe without being responsible to
those unions for its action"
