What Are the People of Colorado
Going to Do in the Present Crisis!
SAMUEL ooMpERs IN JULY FEDERATIoNIsT

Are the people of Colorado willing to
submit longer to corporation govern
ment. What are you going to do about
it?
The grand jury returned indictments
charging certain officials of the miners
organization with conspiracy" to mur-
der. The militia of Colombo has been
found responsible for the deaths OF
many. for the massacre of Ludlow, and
the firing of the tents which was the
th-fire of nearly a score OF women
and children.
Are the people of Colorado willing to
accept this as justicef What are you
going to do about iti You cannot avoid
a decision.
Again the grand jury is now investi-
eating the Colorado mine strike. II Is
said that the grand jury was called at
the request OF the attorney for the mine
operators. political boss who distrib-
utes offices.
From experience the people OF Colo
rado know the nature of the findings Of
such Jury. 1t is within their power
to refuse to endure desecration of JUS
tice.
Again military government has made
n mockery of law and justice. The SOL
dier responsible for the massacre OF
Ludlow and for the death of the worker
Louis Tikas was found guilty and pun

SINCERITY

Really, sincerity is nothing but the
true relation between action and
character. Expressed artistically, it
is the harmony between the fore
ground and the background of a life.
We have all seen pictures where the
background and the foreground were
not in harmony with one another
Nature never would have Joined them
to each other, and so they did not
hold to one another, but seemed to
spring apart. The hills did not en-
brace the plain, but flung it away
from them; the plain did not rest
upon the hills, but recoiled from their
embrace. Who does not know human
lives of which precisely the same
thing is true? The deeds are well
enough and the character is well
enough, but they do not belong to-
gether. The one does not express the
other.-Phillips Brooks.

The Colorado state legislature author
lied the governor to forbid the use or
sale of firearms and to close the saloons.
1t provided for joint committee to in
vestipate the strike. 1t refused to con-
slider constructive legislation. 1t appro-
priated one million dollars to pay the
state militia for strike service, although
it has been established that the major
ity of the men in the militia were gum
men who were hired by the coal oper-
ators and who served their interests
though posing as employees in public
service. This was the total result OF a
special session.
Federal troops now maintain law and
order. The legislature has done nothing
to provide for the protection of human
life and the maintenance of a republican
form of government when federal troops
are removed.
Federal troops cannot be kept in the
field indefinitely. Colorado must set her
own house in order.
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., has refused
to reconsider his ultimatum. Like the
Bourbons he forgets nothing and learns
nothing. He will do nothing to re-
establish industrial peace. The Iegisla-
ture has refused to do anything to solve
the problem.
What are the people of Colorado going
to do about it?
The people of Colorado are the final
arbiters of the situation.
Are the people of Colorado ready to
accept industrial despotism. Are they
ready to sanction by passive agreement
the overthrow of civil government Are
they ready to give up the right of trial
by jury that the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company may pile up dividends and con.
tinue its lawless policiesi Are they
willing to see the billsides fortified and
guarded by gunmen who shoot upon
women and childrenf
What are you going to do about it,
The mine operators have established
n feudal system in the vast land
holdings under their control. Incorpor-
ated towns are privately owned. The
lives of the inhabitants of these towns
are ordered hy the land owners
mine operators. Social relations are con
trolled by the owners of the town.
Medieval conditions have been re-estab.
lished in 4 great state in free America
in the twentieth century.
What are the people Of Colorado going
to do about itf
The mine operators have managed
their affairs with lnwless disregard to
the statutes of the state. They have
disregarded official reports showing vio-
lations of laws violations that endan.
gered the health and the lives OF the
miners.
