Columbus, o., June 3.-The socialist
party of Ohio at the closing session of
its state convention here adopted
resolutions extending sympathy to
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, of
ficers of the Western Federation of
Miners, accused of completely in the
assassination of Governor Steunen-
berg of Idaho.
Among the delegates who sat in the
convention was Harry Wells, a son of
the late founder of the city of Wells
ton, o., and nephew of Senator For
aker.
The resolutions denounce President
Roosevelt for his characterization of
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone as
undesirable citizens" and condemn
Secretary Taft for going to Idaho dur
ing the last political campaign.
These resolutions were adopted by
the state convention of the socialist
party at Columbus:
Whereas, The socialist prophecy of
a class struggle has crystallized into
a definite class war in the western
states, as shown by the persecution of
Comrades Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, against whom the capitalist
class is using all the weapons in its
armory, namely biased judges, a pros
tituted press, military force and Pink
erton detectives, to crush the labor
movement;
Resolved, That we, the socialist
party of Ohio, in convention assem-
bled, do support with answering
fidelity our comrades, Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, during their trial
Abuse by Emma Goldman.
Portland, June 4-"Regardless OF
how good a man President Roosevelt
may be, he is not the friend of the
laboring classes" said Emma Gold
man, apostle of anarchy, lecturer
martyr" and authoress of New York
city, in an interview here today. On
stead, he is the instrument of organ
lied government and authority and
the representative of capitalism. He
does not embody the best qualities OF
the American citizen, but is a repre-
sentative of brute force. He does not
possess the finer qualities which are
essential to make for the development
of human relations"
Miss Goldman reached Portland yes
terday and lectured twice today under
the auspices of the local organization
of anarchists. She is completing &
tour of the United States and goes
from here to the Sound cities ant
points in Canada, preliminary to re
turning to New York, whence she sails
for Amsterdam to attend a congress
of anarchists which will be held il
August.
During her lecture on Direct Ac
ton Versus Legislative or politica
Action" Miss Goldman incidentally re
ferred to the trial of Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone and abused Detective
McPharland and the Pinkerton detec
tives.
She advises organized labor to avoit
participating in politics and recon
mends direct action and the genera
strike as the only agencies through
which the workingmen of this coun
try may expect to gain relief from
the existing conditions. She recon
mends this basis of action as a Ger
tain solution to all labor troubles.
