ords, violated pledges, and disappoint
for the senator long after my name
Is forgotten in connection with it..
In 1907 many good citizens of
South Dakota dreamed a beautiful
dream in which the paramount figure
was Crawford, standing ont as a lead
er, to be compared with the faithful
lender, Lafollette, of Wisconsin.
Those well-meaning citizens (myself
incinded) did not, in that dream,
recognize the distant rumble of the
railroad until they were run over on
April IA, 1910. when Senator Craw-
ford introduced an amendment to the
Elkins amendment of which Senator
Dolliver said: II should say that the
amendment of the senator from
South Dakota Is such an amendment
as the senator from West Virginia
would acquiesce in with great rcIuct-
ance The distinguished railway au-
thorities who drew this bill did not
dare to go to the extreme to which
the amendment of the senator from
South Dakota goes" Cong. Record
5121.
The senator did not make mention
of that part OF my statement. He
could, without a doubt, have consign-
ed that along with some of the other
matters to the archives OF antiquity
with one stroke of his big pen, but
probably did not wish to disturb the
peace of mind OF those whom he
served so well.
The Senator said: "The truth is al
ways sufficient to clear the atmos-
phere of the dust which cheap and
cunning attempts like this state
ment seek to throw into the eyes of
the people, The dust was raised in
Washington. The constituents of the
Senator live III South Dakota. !
would. sooner raise my voice against
the dust, and be called cheap and
cunning, than to be the cause that
led TO the dust.
The compliment of the senator in
inferring that my former statement
was inspired by Mr.. Wagner is my
only obligation to him, and has, at
the same time. aided me in deter
mining my vote for United States
Senator in the coming campaign. am
tired OF political co~ntortionists.

Measure Has Been introduced in
House and Senate by Georgia
Representatives

/ When Congress convenes in regular
session the first Monday in December.
the most important labor measure to
be considered viii be a bill to limit
the issuing OF injunctions. This meas
ure was introduced in the House at
the last session by Representative
Charles L. Bartlett of Georgia. and in
the Senate by Senator A. o. Bacon,
also of Georgia. 1t has been indorsed
by the American Federation of Labor,
railway orders and organized labor
generally. Both the Democratic and
Platforms stand pledged to enact this
legislation, and President Wilson is
upon record as giving it approval.
Following is copy of the bill, H. R.
1873 and s. 927. which will exempt or
ganizations of labor and farmers from
the Sherman antitrust act and pre-
vent issuing of injunctions against
working people during labor disputes:
BE it enacted by the Senate and

sembled. That it shall not be unlaw-
full for person employed or seeking
employment to enter into any arrange

or of bettering their condition: nor
shall any arrangements. agreements,
or combinations be unlawful among
persons engaged in horticulture or ag.
riculture when made with the view of
enhancing the price of agricultural or
horticultural products; and no re.
straining order or Injunction shall be
granted by any court of the United
States, or by any judge thereof. in
any case between an employer and

Street Grading Contractors in
Berkeley Violate Ordinances

Commissioner of Improvements
John r. Hunter was elected by the
people in the belief that he would en-.
force laws enacted for protection and
benefit of citizens of Denver. Re
reated complaints from parties whose
reputation for truth-telling is beyond
question come to The Bulletin office
of violations of city ordinances regu.
lating wage scales and hours OF labor.
Practically all these charges are
lodged against the Denver-Pueblo Con-
struction Company. which seems to be
particularly lucky in being awarded
contracts for public work, and equally
as successful in evading compliance
with city ordinances.
When committees from the Trades
Assembly and other labor bodies have
taken this matter up with Commits
sioner Hunter he has stalled" them
off with the statements that the con
tractors were in "cahoots. "and revo-
cation of contract would be OF NO
avail. In fact he comedies the contrac,
tors have more liberty to violate city
laws than chosen officials of the peo
pie exert to enforce them.

Resolution Introduced
by John Mitchell
Copper Miners in Michigan Like
wise Given Endorsement
in Convention

John Mitchell. former president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
introduced the resolution in the Amer
ican Federation of Labor convention
now in session at Seattle giving in
dorsement of the organized labor men
and women throughout the nation to
the demands of the striking coal
miners in Colorado. In the debate on
the resolution Colorado delegates
took occasion to tell of the true situa-
ton in this state and how the miners
had for the past ten years been work
ing in state of peonage.
After reciting the seven demands
made by the miners, the resolutions
continue as follows:
These men. with their wives and
children, having been evicted from
the company shacks, are now facing
the rigors of a Colorado winter, in
tents furnished by the United Mine
Workers. Many of these tents have
been riddled by the bullets from the
machine guns of the coal operators.
Operators Refuse to Right Wrongs.
The coal companies are using the
daily press of the state (except tho
Denver Express, which is standing for
Just treatment of the miners) to
poison the public mind against the
men on strike. by paying for adyer-
tising space. and by this means are
influencing the editorials OF papers
that are for sale to those who pay for
such advertisements; and
Whereas, The coal companies op-
Grating in that territory have posi-
lively and repeatedly refused to meet

men to load from 2,40O to 5000 pounds

become members Of a labor organiza-
tion and retain their jobs; requiring
them to buy goods at the company
stores at exorbitant prices, and to

The strike of copper miners in
Michigan, members of the Western
Federation of Miners, was also in
