gives me pleasure to tell you that the
100000 members OF our organization
all over the country are willing TO
give this s4O,000.OO a week until the
miners here have won their strike.
More than that. we are receiving
donations from all over the country
that the innocent children in the
camps in the southern field may have
some OF the joys and pleasures of
Christmas. We received Ssoe for this
purpose and the national treasury is
to add to that money
He read from the published report
of the grand jury the fact that many
of the coal companies in the southern
field rent their lands TO saloon keep
ers on what amounts to n per capita
tax for the privilege of selling liquor
to the miners.
That's why these coal companies
don't want the United Mine Workers
in the district. We stand for honesty
loyalty and sobriety. for better child
hood. womanhood and manhood ana
they know that IL we get a foothold
there they will be unable TO reap their
corrupt gains from debauching men
with liquor" said Green.
Green said his indictment by the
Pueblo grand jury was the first he
had ever experienced and accepted it
as a compliment.
White Arouses Enthusiasm.
John p. White, general president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
was the first speaker introduced by
President McLennan at the afternoon
session. He aroused the delegates to
n high pitch OF enthusiasm when he
declared the national officers and min
ers throughout the nation were pre-
pared to stand with and support their
brothers in Colorado just so long as it
was necessary to gain humane and
lawful conditions of labor for subter.
ranean workers. He thanked the la
Dor unions of this state Tor their 10y
atty to the miners and the splendid
solidarity shown in this convention.
Hayes Speaks at Night.
Frank j. Hayes, vice president OF
the u. NJ. w. OF A.. made ringing
speech at the night session and told
In most interesting way of his ex-
periences during the four months he
has had charge of the strike in Colo
rado. He said this convention would
show to operators and other employ
ers that labor refused to be crushed
or shot into subsection by imported
thugs and gunmen. His efforts to
bring about a settlement and the ar
rogant attitude of the operators and
evasions of Governor Ammons was re-
lated in detail. II have been In Colo

This is not n picture show. We

We want TO show them that we are

This is perhaps the most important
convention that has ever been held in
this country since the days OF the Abo
litionists The people called together
here today are protesting against
abuses and wrongs far more fragrant
than those of which the Abolitionists
complained. We are protesting against

In its effects than chattel slavery.

In the settlement of this slavery ques-
tion. as there was in the days of the
early cos: but we must devise some
effectual means OF ending the indus

last ten years."
State Labor Commissioner Edwin V.
