BREEDING
TROUBLE
Western Federation Getting
Busy on Ranges

G. E. Mahoney, of Denver, Colo.
vice president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, is on the ranges
and is holding meetings in the vari-
Gus towns in the interests of the
cult he represents, speaking to the
Wage Slaves" as he terms the
laboring man.
Friday evening he spoke at the
Socialist hall in this city to an audi
ence composed of just fifty five peo-
pie. His talk was principally dir
ected towards the corporations and
the main facts presented were few
figures distorting the strike happen
ings of last summer.
He claimed in his talk that 1000
outside deputies were hired by the
corporation to shoot down the
downtrodden 1aborers of the ranges
and in the course of his remarks
made several more such wild state
ments. This is about all he said
insofar as the laborer was concern
ed. He failed to make it clear to
those assembled how an utilization
with his society with the bloody
record, would help matters any.
He also failed to make it clear
how himself, John Movern and sew
eral others whose names we can
mention could manage to exist
without working should the monthly
dues and stipends exacted from the
Wage Slaves" fail to flow into
the rapacious NAV of the Fedora
ton shouters and trouble breeders.
Mahoney is judged by the COM
pany he keeps. The society in Ely
is composed of few old country
anarchists and those holding Offices
in the local. Their meetings are
held in the dark in some out-of the
way hole. The society is of no
benefit to this city or it's people, at
least 1t has never shown any great
benefits. In the company of such
subjects Mahony disported himself.
In his company was the fellow,
John Movern. who claims Eveleth
his home and who monthly visits
Ely and carries off the few dollars
in the treasury by virtue of his be-
ing one of the high-mucky- mucks.
He lands here in the dark and gets
away before daylight. Of Movern,
the Eveleth CHS home town.
paper has the following to say:
We believe that Movern should
be we'll watched, and that
while he looks the simple and limo
cent, he is certainly worth the time
of the authorities of this community
keeping both eyes on him. He is
one of the young men of this COM
munity who caused all of the trou-
bic here last year, and he has since
remained here to keep the troublous
pot a boiling and ready to spill over
when the opportunity is ripe. This
fellow should be made to cough up
his mission, for it is not a good one
if we are to judge his present occu-
patton by his past record
Of Mahony, the Mesaba Ore says
a few things. The following is a
fair representation of what the Mes
aba range people think of the fell
low. The Ore says:
&C. E. Mahoney, of Denver,
Colo, vice president of the Western
Federation of Miners, is again on
the Mesaba range and is seeking to
stir up some more trouble.
The Western Federation of
Miners has been throttled in Colo
RADIO, state it held in AFFECT terror
for years, and is seeking new fields
as a base for its blighting operations.
The 1ong-suffering people of
Colorado, backed up by state and
federal officers, finally asserted
their manhood and crushed the
bloody organization.
The Mesaba range, the busiest
mining center in the world, offers
most promising field, and Mahoney
is here for the purpose of taking up
the ragged ends of the organization
which were left after the abortive
attempt at a strike of last summer,
and therefrom build up structure
that has been a curse to every state
and community in which it gained
a foothold, and a dragging curse to
