are beginning to soueal. just as they
slways do when they find out that
mine owners can operate their mines
independent of this socialistic organi-
cation. An attorney OF this radical
organization went to Goldfield and
when he was told by the mine own
ers' association that they would not
confer with him as representative Of
the Western Federation of Miners he
rushed OF to the telegraph Office and
wired the president that the labor
commissioners sent out by the presi-
dent were only hearing one side of
the story. and that one. of the mine
owners association. The story o.
the mine owners association was told
before the labor commission from
washington arrived in GoIdfeld and
that story was that the Western Fed
GRAFTON would never more be recog-
nized in Goldfeld. Had the members
of this organization taken the mine
owners at their word it would not
have been necessary to send troops to
Goldfeld. Il is for the members of
this organization to say whether
they desire to work in Goldfield un-
der the conditions announced by the
owners of the mines there. but it is
not for these men to say in Goldfed
o. elsewhere that miners not belong
ing to the Western Federation are not
free to work the mines.
There are thousands of GOOD men
who belong TO the Western Federation
who do not endorse the action of the
radical and socialistic leaders. but
these thousands either have not the
courage to assert their VIII when trou-
bles. such as that at Goldfeld. arises,
or they have been led to believe that
property owners have no rights, by
their socialistic leaders.
The telegram sent to the president
by the Denver lawyer, who went TO
GoIdheld, reminds US Of the rantings
of one W. B. Cleary. the Western Fed
Grafton lawyer of Bisbee, when he de
clared to a Phoenix paper that Judge
Doan, of this district, was tool of
the corporations. All who know
Judge Dean and Cleary can only smile
at such rot. Whenever officials are
called on TO investigate the doings of

or Miners IT is safe 20 pet that these
officials VIII be denounced by the fed
Grafton leaders as corporation tools.
When such man as Judge Doan is
by Cleary, however, It only
causes a smile. and brings the socialis-
tic spieler into public contempt, as
well as in contempt of court.
President Roosevelt has heard from |
GoldfeId and is fully informed of con-
dltions there just as he was before
soldiers were ordered to proceed |
there from San Francisco. The West
ern Federation lawyer from Denver
cannot enlighten the president on the
charactr Of the western Federation
Roosevelt has studied these
charasters in the past and expressed
an opinion concerning them
This federation labor organization
is the same at Goldheld and is doni-
mated by the same leaders as it was
during the dynamiting and bloody |
days at Occur dAiene and at Cripple !
Greek. SO long as this labor organi-
cation continus to follow such wild |
eyed sociliastic leaders as St. John.
Rawlings, semple and cleary, |
just SO long wiz it be impotent as
means of beneftting the laboring |
class of the country. Such leaders
cannot dominate at Goldheld any
more than they could at Occur
d'AIene or Cripple Creek
the declaration OF principles of the
Western Federation Of Miners, as de-
cIared and published Is that there can
be no mutual interests between em-
ployer and employee. that the war
must be ever on between capital and
labor; such doctrine is no more nor
less than anarchy and It cannot live
In this country.
Word from GoIdheid comes daily
that the mines Of the district are
gradually niiiBg mp with nonsuniop
