pay Aui ~. Auu tuu men OF TINS jury
win have the pleasure of working TO
pay up the deficiency warrants which
have been issued by the state 10 meet
the expenses of the prosecution.
Back Of the prosecution. too. you
viii find General Bulkeley Wells. the
adiutant general of Colorado. who
stands. with his epaulets and his Har-
ward accent, a cruel tyrant with all his
culture, for that Is what culture is
for--to get rid Of all humanity there
Is IN a man."
Here again Darrow reverted to
Orchard, and renewed the versatile
denunciati0n which was ever at his
tongues command Among other
things he termed Orchard scOrnfully
"cherubim' and a paragon of vir-
tue" since his conversion.
When Mr.. Darrow late in the even
ing finally reached the Colorado labor
troubles he grew eloquent In his de-
nuneiation Of capital. and his defense
Of the workingman He told of the
eight-hOur law passed by the Colo
rado legislature In 1899. and the fight
against that law BY the owners OF the
mines and the smclters.
"They took II to the supreme court,
and Of course that court declared It
unconstitutional" he exclaimed. "Of
course Il Is unconstitutional to pass a
law taking away from the Guggen-
helms the right to take twelve hours
work out OF the hide OF their working
men instead Of eight. What are con-
stitutions for except 10 be used for
the rich and to destroy laws made
for the poor Wealth is stronger
than the pen--stronger than the law
What are laws for If the rich have to
obey them?
Il am not here to say to YOU men
that labor organizations do no. wrong
/ know them too well for that They
have often done wrong; they have
often been unjust and frequently corr
rupt. but the labor organization has
always stood for the poor. for the
weak, for humane laws and for hui
man life and liberty
THE men struck In Colorado for
the eight-hour day. and they got it..
Are you men Of the jury going to take
1t away from them. Mr.. Hawley asks
you to destroy the Western Fedora
'tion of Miners by hanging its lead
ers. Are you going to do it? Do you
doubt Ney have done some brutal
things some criminal things and some
that were not wise and some that
were unjust. Let us admit it.
know 1t, and I am not going to lie to
you about IT,
But admitting this, would you de-
stroy the Western Federation and
hand its 10000 men over to deal sim
gle-handed with the Mine Owners as
sociatlon, with the Guggenheims? If
you destroy the labor unions of this
country you destroy liberty when you
strike the blow and will leave the poor
to do the bidding of the rich.
II tell you, men, that so long as
the employers of labor have the spirit
of Rockefellerism in their hearts
there Is going to be trouble. Hawley
SAYS the Western Federation Of Min
ers has made trouble. II has. and |
am glad of II, FOR when we cease to
cause trouble we become slaves"
"The troops were called into Grip
pie Creek because old Man Stuart
was beaten up. I'm sorry for the old
man, but he admits he was working
eight hours day--living off the
fruits of what the union had worked
for. and working when the union was
not. IL some Western Federation man
had been beaten up. If they had all
been slugged and beaten, Governor
Peabody would never have called out
any troops.
and when you men of the Jury
think Of Old Man Stuart, think you
also OF the Darling Of Colorado
Bulkeley Wells. tooling around the
Back Bay district Of Boston and
spending his golden plenty Think o.
Bulkeley Wells, the man who tied a
worker to a telegraph pole IN zero
weather because he was not wringiag
out OF the victims carcass all the
eolfen guineas he would like to spend
In poston or i'm England. Think yoi
Of Bulkeley Wells and the others oil
his ilk-other idlers-whose families
are clothed in silk, sponged with the
life's sacrifice of working men, thlnk
Of them, / tell you, and give them
some responsibility in the events q
Colorado"
Continuing to the very close Of hi
rem arks for the day to berate ana de-
noruce the prosecution, Mr.. barrow
smoke of the time when they wou'u
be leading forth the next victim 70
the sacrifice" He ever coupled tn.
nrosecution with the Mine Owners
association, and spoke OF the later :
carnival Of crime and destruction.
Tho men driven from Colorado to the
fanr corners OF the world, had all re-
tnrned To Boise to give the lie to or
chafd despite the fact that they were
taking their lives IN their hands ps
cor ing within reach "of the iron manu-
Of tne prosecution"
