Everything went along smooth
ly' The dinner was good, well
cooked and bountiful. The miners
and their wives, their sons and
daughters, were there, happy, gen.
lal and prosperous looking, but full
of labor talk, as befitted the day.
They are alive to every phase Of
the labor movement, and while
looking well they want better OPP
portunities. greater advantages,
homes Of their own, and reason
able share of the profits they make
for their employers. They are in
clined to be suspicious, for they
are never sure that some cut of
their wages will not fall on them
unawares, hence are greatly in
teres!ed IN more thorough organi-
zation.
They are right. Organize, and
organize throughly, for future pur.
poses, and do not wait until the
storm breaks; it will be too late
then. This is about what Mr..
Jenkerson told them in good
speech which was well received.
Senator john l.. Bradley, Judge
Il. U. Nations and Congressman
M. X. Smith made speeches to n
large and attentive audience. Mr..
Bradley was full of fire and enthu.
siasm as usual, and made the boys
yell. He passed rapidly over his
legislative career and touched in.
cidentally on politics. When the
Senator comes iu on the home
stretch, you generally see the hats

and sympathetic, was listened to
with attention and provoked ap.

Congressman Smith, who had
been invited by the Union to speak
on this ocassion on the Haywood
trial, which he heard at Boise,
Idaho, was the first speaker. 1t
was evident. from his familiarity
with every detail OF the trial and
the history of the trouble that re.
suited in the assassination of Gov
ernor Steunenberg, that he has been
a student of what has been going
on ont in the far West for some
time.
He said that the trial was a fair
one aud that the Judge who tried
the case was splendid man and
an able Judge. That the greatest
trial that had ever taken place on
the American continent was the
Haywood trial, and its results the
most far-reaching. That it had
done tremendous work ia crystal.

The laboring classes everywhere
feel nearer and closer together
than ever before. This trial, he
said, has done the ordinary work of
ten years in bringing together the
labOrlng people Of all ciussrs, aud
the brotherly feeling for one
another has been wonderfully
strengthened.
The trial was fair. 1t had to be
fair, he said. Every word spoken
in that court room went to the re-
motest parts of the world. Truth
