Boise. Idaho, April 1i-"I'he
strongest, most progressive and
fearless labor organization the world
aver Knew" is the way Secretary
william ID. Haywood describes the
Western Federation OF Miners, IN a
history OF that organization made
public recently.
"A body Of socialists, anarchists,
and criminals. whose officials have
encouraged the lawles among them

ing at the overthrow OF our present
Iystem OF government" is the almost
universal Characterization OF the
mine owners.
For nearly fourteen years the oper-
ltors OF the western states and tho
Western Federation OF Miners have
been engaged in the bittetest labor
struggle In tho history OF The conn

Of the strike in Colorado City, cul-
mnatIng In the greater and more
eyentful strike in the Cripple Creek
district, which involved in the neigh
borhood OF $500 miners, SO much
has been written about these strikes
that It seems unnecessary to review
them.
There IL one point in regard to the
Colorado trouble worthy Of particu-
lar mention at this time, and that is
the assertion OF the mine owners that
the strikes were called by the oxec-
utlyo board OF the federation, Noth-
ing could be further from the truth.
The strike was not declared In Grip
pie Greek until every union in the
district had voted on the proposl
ton and from the individual action
of the members referred the entire
matter to the district union for adj
Indication and settlement. The ac-
ton Of the district union was indors-
ed by the executive board and later
by the eleventh annual convention.
Union Not Anarchistic.
The mine owners have been bitter
in their denunciation Of the fedora
ton and are prone in their preju-
dice to make erroneous statements.
They have accused us in the same
breath of being socialistic and an
archistic organization, this state
ment in itself being misconception
and a contradiction. II is true that
in the tenth anpual convention OF
the Western Federation OF Miners
there was adopted resolutions indor-
sing the principles Of socialism, and
these have been reaffrmed at each
succeeding convention. The com
mlttee's report was as follows:
1--WE, the tenth annual convention
of the Western Federation of Min
ers, do declare for policy of in
dependent political action, and do ad-
wise and recommend the adoption OF
the platform OF the Socialist party
Of America by the locals Of the fed
Grafton in conjunction with a vigor-
GUS policy of education along the
lines OF political economy"
The cooperative efforts of the fed
eration in establishing hospitals and
mercantile stores have been desig-
rated as socialistic. The falacy OF
this will be readily understood by
anyone familiar with dhe socialist
philosophy, Still, the cooperative
ly owned stores and hospitals have
resulted in much benefit to our mem
bers and a number of these institu
lions, are in operation Throughout
the country. One of the very bes
hospitals, erected and equipped at
cost OF $50, 900, was owned and aper
ted by the Telluride union. 1t wal
y conducted in every way satisfactor!
to all concerned until the strike tool

tia, represented a capital of 10000
The properties and buildings owned
by the local unions of the federation

gregate in value 100000.
