Tribune started its story on the Sun
day meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor with headline in these
words: Urge Violence in Colorado"

lows
Speeches advocating violence by
wOrkingmen when their appeals to
the courts are denied were made at
the meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor yesterday"
The. first impression given the read
er was that the meeting was advocat-
ing violence, without making clear
under what circumstances violence
was defended or advocated.

ly after o'clock. l heard the speech
of Lt.-Gov. O'Hara and that of John
Walker, president of the Illinois Fed
Grafton Of Labor. (The Tribune show
ed how much it doesn't know about
labor leaders by referring to John
Walker as William Walker)
Violence was not urged by any one
of the speakers, except as a last re-
sort and then only by workingmen in
defense of their families and their
friends; and then it was urged as the
constitutional right Of an American
citizen.
President Walker said he favored
exhausting every expedient to protect
their constitutional rights before re-
sorting to arms, and said he would go
as far as any man to try to get JUS
tice for the workers without violence.
He plainly said that workers would
