w. F. OF NJ. GETS CHARTER.
Western Federation Now Affiliated With
the a. F. of L.

The American Federation of Labor,
through its executive council in session
at Washington. has granted charter to
the Western Federation of Miners This
action immediately followed the asser-
ton of the United Mine Workers that
they would quit the A. F. OF l. unless
the Western Federation was granted
charter The application of the Western
Federation has been pending before the
executive committee since the conven-
tion of the international organization at
st. Louis in November. The application
was before the convention but was
blocked by the AIachinists delegates.
The necessity that the w. F. of NJ. be
affiliated with the A. F. of l.. has be
come vital to the labor movement at
large. and the slow-moving. conservative
organization was forced to action.
The granting of ibis charter means
quickening of the pulse of the labor
movement in the entire West. and espe-
cially in Denver. Where the headquarters
of the Western organization are located
The action of the executive council of
the A. f. of l. means that the Western
Federation will be affiliated with the diff
ferent State Federations of Labor in the
Western states and more than that, it
means that the well-read, progressive
members of the metal miners will be
seen and heard at all meetings where
delegates from me different organiza-
tions assemble. There is great rejoicing
in Denver over The granting of the
charter.

meeting bordered on a riot. The an
nouncement OF Whites victory over
Lewis was the last blow for the presi-

long service with the miners to the mine
owners for a salary, but that he will go

ers. Machinists. Machinists' Helpers,
Carmen, Pipefitters, Sheet Metal Work
ers and Patternmakers of the d. & R G..
held meetings in Machinists' hall Mon

tions will have joint agreement and
will present joint demands to the rail-
road when new scales are to be asked
for or when either of the organizations
have a grievance.
They are to be represented by COM
mittees composed of national or district
officers of the organization involved
b. F. Perry of the Machinists was Sc
lected as chairman of the meeting and
Jesse Vetter, also of the Machinists, was
elected secretary.
The meeting was called because of the
long-drawn-out strikes of machinists,
hoilermakers and blacksmiths on the Rio
Grande. the Missouri Pacific and the
Baltimore & Ohio railroads. In all of
these strikes. state the leaders of the
federation movement. victory would have
come to the men had they been organ
lied along systematic federation lines,
instead of having contracts with the
railroads which expired at different pc
nearly year on the Denver & Rio
Grande and the recent long-drawn-out
struggle between the shop organizations
and the Missouri Pacific.
The organization of the different or
ganizations on the d. & r. G. was prac-
tically completed Tuesday; but those
promoting the scheme will not stop
there. They intend TO form such an or
ganization on every system in the West
so that one road will not be discrim-
mated against TO the advantage of the
others. or that the employees of one road
will have to bear the brunt of the fight
They expect TO be in a position soon
that when an organization is forced to
strike ON a road there will be a strike of
every man of the above organizations in
their employ The men at the head OF
this movement deserve much credit. as
all recognize it is a step in the right

SUPREME COURT HEARS CASE.

The Imprisonment OF the 16 coal min
ers for violation of the Injunction of
Judge Whitford came up before the su-
preme court Wednesday. Arguments
We're made, and a decision on the case
is expected in few days.
In addressing the court Attorney
Smith for the miners said:
The use OF the injunction in this case
has been such as to weaken respect for
the courts. Its only purpose was to
throw over an entire community into
reign of terror and hold the people sub
st rvient through fear.
yet the application on which 1t was
based alleged expected injuries to the
real estate OF this coal company.
They alleged all through their writ
that they expected the miners to destroy
their property in Boulder county. They
have tried to get Jurisdiction by alleging
that the business OF the company Is To-
Gated in Denver. Yet they expected the
injuries in Boulder.
The entire proceeding violates the
laws which command that causes OF ac-
tion In regard to real estate be tried I'm
the county in which the property Is To-
Gated. The effect OF the write has been
to nullify the constitutional rights OF an
entire community and TO tear down not
only there. but everywhere, respect for
the courts and for the powers OF the
courts of equity"
