next owing. Haywood said Adams came
into his Office two OF three days after the
explosion at the Independence station.
but they did not discuss the matter much.
n he did not ask Adams what me knew
about it.. Next time Inc saw him IT, was In
the autumn Of the same year when Steve
came to headquarters again for union relief
money. He knew Adams was then going
under the nam OF Dixon Haywood did
not Know when Adams assuned that name
or how soon after the Independence affair

WHY NAMES WERE
The defence was all along endeavoring
to show that the union miners changed
their names at this time because they had
been blacklisted, but Haywood hit this
theory a bump by saying:
The men were changing their names
NJ that time, not 40 much because Of black
listing "a because Of informations hat were
being fled against them"
Cripple Creek affairs then came up. Hay
wood said that before III strike Of 1909
II was practically q union camp.
In some mines men couldn't get work

Of some local union Of the Western Fedora

by order Of the Cripple Creek execu-
tive board Of the Western Federation Of
Miners JOHN GysaI.
And also to q second notice, posted on
this:
TO all non-union miners Of the Cripple
Creek district: You have no doubt read
and thought about our circular which was
out this district about five weeks ngo.
This notice Is issued for the purpose of re-
minding you that September i5 Is at hand;
that the line Of grace q about expired.
You have had W. paydays, to decide
there Is no middle ground. While a ma
yor1ty OF the men working In and arouDd
the mines, mills and power plants nave
responded TO the call there are still some
Ia addressed. If you are. working in or
around the mines, mills or power plants
OF this district this means YOU. Don't
throw this to one side and say, Oplv an
other blum. III you are from Missouri
come into some Of the unions Of the Vest
ern Federation Of Miners and we will show
you that We are trying TO help you us well
as ourselves, and az the 18th Ia only about
six days away, o will have to hurry.

Now" the Senator proceeded, did YOU
know Of the posting Of these notices."
Haywood visibly braced himself for the
encounter and then he said. rather feebly.
Il think l did"
so it seems that you had a little permit
system of your own" pursued the senator.
oh. not TO the extent of its being a per-
init system objected Haywood.
You regarded Gov. Peabody and Gen.
Bell and Judge Goddard and Judge Gabbert
as the corrupt representatives in public
office of the corporations. didn't your"
demanded the Senator
Haywood fenced quite a time, but the
Senator finally pinned him down. saying:
Il will ask you again, did you or did Won
not regard Judge Goddard and Judge
Gabbert and Gov. Peabody and Gen. BELL
AS the representatives Of those corrupt
Influences that you denounced in YOUR
speech that night?"
We'll. to he frank with YOU, | did, sir"
said Haywood AT last. Il would say ia a
general way that regarded those men as a
part OF that system"
We'll. it was impracticable for anybody
to try to go up against IL, wasn't it7"
Haywood squared his shoulders and
retorted: We'll, ! will say, Senator, that
when men are working in a mine and get
ting the benefits OF the union we expected
them to join the union"
AS a matter of fact he had TO Ioin the
union or get out, didn't hep"
NO. we didn't exactly have any such
thing as a closed shop" Haywood en-
planned. ANY n could go TO work in
any mine and work for one pay day or two
pay days, but then we expected them 10
join. We didn't attempt to dictate to the
bosses about who they should hire. but we
expected the men TO join the union"
A quiet smile ran about the court room.
Even the lawyers for the defence looked
conscious of the import of the labor leaders
statement Haywood's reply had very
thinly yelled what used TO happen in a
union camp when a man refused to ioin
the union.
The witness hurried on to take this chance
for a jab at W. T. Stewart. who had testi-
fed against him. Stewart had said that
he heard Haywood in Silver City say that
Steunenberg ought to be exterminated
Haywood now said, by way Of i~llustra-
ton, hat Stewart was a nom en-
gineer and that the union miners requested
the nag of the Blaine mine, where thew
were working, to have Stewart Join the
union or else TO get another engineer. He
didn't say what happened.
A TOUCHING SPEECH.
The Senator then wanted to know about ,
q red hot speech Haywood made in Denver |
when he attacked the Legislature for not
