THE Denver Chamber of Com
merce has asked for an appropria-
ton of $25, 900 from the city to
be used in securing manufactur-
ing plants for that city. If the
promoters of the 1915 Indian pa
geant would spend half tn e
amount they expect to expend
on that show towards securing
manufacturing concerns tn y
would be doing something of last
ing benefit to that city. 1t is not
more people what Denver needs,
but it is something to give en-
ployment to the large number Of
unemployed that are already
there and unable to get away.

We do not justify the killing of
Belcher, the detective at Trini-
dad, for we are opposed to the
use of violence in strikes by either
side, believing there is a better
and quicker way to settle labor
disputes. But was Belcher's life
worth any more to a community
than the men he has killed in
cold blood? He was an imported
gunmaI. brought into the state
by the mine operators to coerce
the strikers, and one of his first
acts of lawlessness was the kill
ing of an organizer of the miners
union on the streets of Trinidad
before the strike was called.

There may appear to lie shortage OF
coal in some arts of the state but the
appearance at the mines in the northern
part of the state Indicate that there Is
no need for any one suffering. The coal
is being mined at a rapid rate and the
si1ings are filled with loaded cars. I
fact the condition is such that large

STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR
Meeting Called to take Some
Action in Regard to the
Coal Strike.

The following call has been issued for
meeting Of the State Federation OF
Labor to bc held IN Denver Tuesdays
peceeember lG. at 10 o'clock
A condition Of affairs exists in this
state which demands that the laboring
people no longer remain silent while
their riehta are being daily placed in
jeopardy.
The strike OF the miners has grown to
real war in which every craft and de-
partment OF organized labor Is threaten
ed with annihilation unless they taks a
positive and decided stand for their
rights.
The uniform Of the state militia is
again being disgraced aud turned to an
emblem OF anarchy as it was in the days
of Peabody. In the southern fields
military courts, Illegal and tyrrannica,
are being held for the purpose of txran.
uiziug the workers. Lenders of labor
are being seized and arrested and held
without trials. The homes OF union
miners have been broken into by mem
bers Of The national guard and property
stolen.
The promise OF Governor Ammons
that no strike breakers would be per
mitted TO enter tiiu district has long
been a joke. The state militia is being
used'to bring in Negroes. Mexicans and
japanese in violation OF the state laws.
The military officers are hoasting of the
number of strike breakers they are
smuggling into the mines.
The cost of this struggle is paid by
the workers OF the state for the workers
pay the taxes. They pay for the main
tenance in the strike fields of this armed
fo:ce OF allies OF the operators. They
pny again in the increased price of coal.
They pny in the honor of the state which
is being disgraced by exhibitions of otfl-
eial and plutocratic lawlessness.
The time mas come when labor must
enter lis protest. Its voice must be
rnised in unmstakable denunciation OF
present conditions and demand for
justice.
In order that members OF organized
labor in every part OF the state, whether
affiliated or not. may become familiar
with conditions in this struggle, a con
vention is hereby called to meet in Den
yer Tuesday, December l6, 1913, at 10
o'clock. The purpose of this convention
is the protection OF the rights of every
worker in this state and the protection
