United labor bulletin., 1911-07-20

All the men were sentenced late Fri
day afternoon and taken to the county
jail, excepting Marshal Jack Cassidy OF
Lafayette, who was allowed to return
home to preserve order Saturday night
and Sunday when a successor could be
chosen to fill his place while serving a
term in prison because he is alleged to
have interfered with the posting of the
Injunction. He was ordered to return to
court Monday morning. which he did.
and the same sentence was imposed upon
him and not being able to pay was sent
to Jail This charge has been hanging
over the head of Cassidy since last No
yember. when the injunction was issued,
and although he was not sentenced at
that time the court was prevailed upon
to take advantage of the accusation to
get Cassidy out of the way at this time.
and Injunction Whitford performed prop
erly and granted the prayer" of the
mine operators.
Another glaring injustice has been
done Edward l. Doyle, a former presi-
dent of the local union at that place.
Doyle is one of those bright, enthusi-
astic young men whose very soul rebels
at the injunction, the injunction court
and the ruthless bloodsuckers who are
in control Of most every branch of the
Colorado government. When the 16 min
Doyle criticized the action of Whitford
in the official journal of the United Mine
Workers of America. Among other things
he called the judge Injunction Greeley.
and for this must languish in Jail for a
year to satisfy the hatred aroused in the
heart of Injunction Greeley by just criti-
cism.
1t is useless to rave at Judge who is
believed to be in sympathy with the
.1..xr, d
ones at the bottom of the trouble are the
officers of the Northern Coal and Coke
company.
The fight of the miners has been taken
up by the Denver Trades and Labor As
sembly and by the Colorado Anti-Injunc-
ton league. These organizations have
appointed committees to make effective
an unfair list upon which have been
placed the names of
THE NORTHERN COAL AND COKE
COMPANY.
THE sTRusY-EsTAeRooK MER-
CAMILLE COMPANY.
THE COLORADO NATIONAL BANK.
THE DENVER DRY GOODS CON-
PANY.
Mr. Struby is the president of the
Northern Coal and Coke company and
the man on whose affidavit the injunc-
tion was granted which landed 80 men
in prison.
c. b. Kountze is owner of the Colorado
National bank, at Seventeenth and Lari-
mer street; large stockholder in the
Denver Dry Goods company. and large
stockholder in the Northern Coal and
Coke company.
The committees from the two organi-
cations have combined and eight sub
committees have been appointed to visit
all labor organizations to inform them of
the action taken and to induce them to
place fines on their members to prevent
every union man in Denver from patron
izing the above-named concerns
A committee has been named to se-
cure the names of the brands of goods
handled by the Struby- -Estabrook COM
pany.
And day has been set on which to
draw from the Colorado National bank
every cent that organized labor and any
one in sympathy with the workers may
have there.
A communication has been sent to the
convention of the Western Federation of
Miners in Butte. Mont, asking the con-
vention to take such action as will pre-
vent the Struby-Estabrook company from
selling their goods to any and all stores
in the Rocky mountain region with which
the members of the w. F. of NJ. and other
members OF organized labor trade.
A communication to the same effect
has also been sent to the Colorado State
Federation of Labor.
Organized labor has become thorough
ly aroused. Leaders are convinced that
the time is at hand when the aggressive
must be taken to protect the liberty OF
the members OF all crafts.
