The so-called Scotch pine is the
principal tree in the Prussian forests.
Its wood is much like that of the
western yellow pine of the United
States.

The reason why opals are so often

The Striking Miners VS.. Gunmen
BY ROBERT M. ROLL

the world, for they are putting theii
lives into the coal mines and they should
have some right to say what their labor
is worth and under what condition it
should be sold. The coal operators know
that when the union is recognized it
means square deal to everyone, and
that is a thing they do not want. They
are spending millions of dollars fighting
the union, for they do not want to be
stopped from robbing the miners.
Men and women, in time SO tense
and distressing as it is in this strike,
it is uncomfortable to be bullied by thugs
and gunmen, who, upon the slightest
provocation, will deliberately shoot you
down. The worst of it all is that these
g1nmen are wholly unnecessary. In no
other modern country are rich men al
lowed to employ bands of gunmen to do
their bidding Nowhere else, except pos
sibly China, are individuals allowed to
declare war on a community, to man
armored trains and armored automobiles
with machine guns to shoot citizens.
Now, if the coal operators have right
to buy machine guns and hire gunmcn
to protect their property and shoot down
striking miners, then 1 would like to
know, in the name of God, haven't the
miners a right to buy guns to protect
their lives? You coal operators claim
that you will spend millions of dollars
in fighting the United Mine Workers
of America SO that every American citi-
zen Twill have right to work for whom
they please" This statement is untrue.
You want the American workingman to
work for you as your humble and SUBJ
missive slave, without a right to even
murmur when you rob him of his
weights of coal and rob him in the com
pany stores, force him to live in your
property, deny him the right to organize
and deprive him of the statutory laws
of the state of Colorado. Yet you claim
to be Christians and walking in the
footprints of our Savior. You go to
church on Sunday morning, take your
seats in costly pews, arrayed in costly
garments that have been wrung from
the miners whom you have robbed. Not
only have you robbed the miner of his
manhood but you have robbed his wife
of her womanhood, and you have robbed
his sweet little children of their child
hood. And you listen to the teachings
Of the Man who said, "Whoso shall Of
fend one of these little ones, it is better
that a milestone be tied about his neck
and he were cast in the depths OF the
sea-"
When the books of life are closed
forever, and time shall be no more and
the people of this earth have to pass
in their last grand parade before Je-
hovah's throne; when you walk up to
that pure white throne of eternal love
and the court of last resort and final
vindication for those that labor in the
light of love and justice, Mr.. Coal OPP
orator and Gunman, you who have been
United labor bulletin., 1914-04-18

When you hear of a strike usually you
hear of violence. The mine workers of
Colorado have organized and ask for bet
ter wages and the recognition of their
union, which has been denied by the coal
operators. The miners have collectively
withheld their labor and gone on strike.
They need more money. Whyf The
nccessaries of life cost more every day.
The coal operators hire gunmen to fight
the miners; they want all the money
they are getting. Whys The luxuriet
of life cost more every day. Now let the
difference in the two motives sink into
your head And, if your mind is capa.
BILE of an idea penetrating it you will
see one is a Just cause while the other
is unjust. Violence has accompanied this
strike. If you believe the newspapers
owned by the coal operators the striking
miners are always committing the vio-
lence. If you know the truth, the hired
gunmen of the coal operators commit all
the violence. 1t may be that the large
coal companies will find that the sup
port of an army of gunmen is in the end
more costly than to pay honest, hard
working miners decent wages, and it is
not unreasonable to think that the time
may come when to deal with the army
of gunmen will be far more troublesome
Imagine, if you can, the state of mind
of those whose friends have been muir
dered by these, cold-blooded hirelings!
Imagine poor and needy men being
forced to submit to the bullying and
brutal insults of these gunner! Imag-
inc the feelings of the strikers when
they see their own government allow
ing the gunmen to break every law and
their righteous rage that those hirelings
are not only allowed to assault them but
that even jury of their own peers has
been fixed to convict them.
The strike is about as tragic battle
as one can see in the modern world.
Men withhold their labor and go on
strike only as last resort, because they
feel themselves unjustly treated They
know that failure means starvation,
without money or homes of their own.
The loss of the strike means utter and
complete ruin to them all. for they know
that they must then pick up their few
household articles and with their wives
and babies start upon the road. The
fight of the coal operators to run their
mines as non-union mines cannot be so
serious a matter as the fight of the min
ers to retain their jobs and force the
coal companies to recognize their union,
which will enable them to force the coal
operators to pay them living wages.
The coal operators put their money
into the mines, and they say it ID their
property and they ought to have rgiht
to run it to suit themselves. We will
admit that all of that is true; but,
while they have put their money. into
the mines, the worsingmen, the miners,
are putting in everything they have IN

Denver may we'll be proud of her edu-
cational advantages and institutions.
One of the most prominent schools of
the city, which is filling an important
need, is the Modern School of Business,
located at Broadway and West Thir-
teenth avenue.
Perhaps few business colleges have the
modern conveniences and arrangements
of this school. All the various depart
ments are located on the ground floor,
but sufficiently distant from the street
of The Bulletin was shown through the
college by President George LaMunyon
and Vice President Lille LaMunyon, and
found it a veritable hive of industry,
with scores of students taking advantage
of this open door to opportunity. Grad
yates from this school are in demand
by business men and managers of indus
trial enterprises. Day and night classes
are conducted throughout the year and
the sons and daughters of many work
ingmen are students.
On going through the rooms one is
impressed with the air of actual busi-
ness which is apparent. In the main
office there are different styles of fill
ing cabinets, duplicating machines, tabu-
lators, letter presses, dictaphone and
aries, enclyclopediae and other books of
reference. In this office the stenogra-
pliers get the finishing touches before
going out as office assistants.
From this office doors open into the
private office, the telegraph department.
the printing office, the rest room and
the shorthand department. Passing
through the large room devoted to short
hand we noticed pupils reciting in small
groups and on one side of the room
was class taking dictation. From this

moyER TRIAL TO BE HEARD LATER

Trials of President Charles H. Meyer
and 80 other officers of the Western
Federation of Miners have been passed
over until this fall, and now that the
strike is off probably never will be
heard. These men were indicted BY
county grand jury at Houghton, Mich.'
charged with all sorts OF high crimes
and misdemeanors usual in such cases.
A motion to auash the indictments was
overruled by Judge O'Brien.

sand times, no. l believe there will be
weeping wailing and gnashing of teeth
among you, damnable tribe of hellions,
who are responsible for the strike, the
murder and the bloodshed. Mr.. Coal
Operator, if you have left one spark of
manhood or you have any heart or soul,
can you not hear the sobs of the widows
and the cries of the orphans as they
ask mother: 'Why don't papa come
home" Oh, Mr.. Coal Operator, he can
not come home, for your gunner have
killed him and you have made no more
comment on it than you would at the
fall of sparrow Oh, the pity of it
all! Oh, the waste of it all Oh, the
crime, the unspeakable, unpardonable,
damnable crimes committed in this So
called land of the free and country so
abundantly filled with riches for all. It
is hard enough to be poor in rich land,
but it is uncomfortable to have added to
that poverty every indignity and to be
deprived to every right as q citizen; to
be defenseless in the face of imported
thugs is something that men cannot long
endure.
To expect that men will forever allow
themselves to be brutally and criminally
assaulted without retaliation is to ex-
pect what has never yet been seen in
this world. The time is sure and cer-
tain to come. If these criminal bands
of gunmen are not broken up, then men
will be forced to organize themselves
secretly, If not openly, to defend them
selves and their families from the as
saults of these criminal gunmen.

W. S. c. AND COLORED
GIANTS SATURDAY
State College Nine and Strong Chi
Cago Team VIII Meet Saturday
on Local Diamond

Washington State College people
VIII get chance Saturday after
noon to see what is acknowledged TO
be ere of the best baseball teams in
Tie United States line up against the
college team. The Chicago Colored
Giants have on their team seven
men who, according to their man
ager. could make any big league
team in the country if organized
baseball did not draw the color line.
This team has beaten nearly all
the teams 1t has played against for
the last several years, including ex-
hibition games with big league
teams in every large city in the East.
For the past six months they have
been touring the coast and playing
in California during the winter and
exhibition games with the Coast and
Northwestern League teams this
spring. The games they have lost
have been few and far between. The
real star of their team, according to
reports from the West Side, is their
shortstop, 200 FOUNDER, who fields
his position faultlessly and is one OF
their strongest sluggers.
Coach Bender will line up against
the Giants the same as against the
Spokane Indians last week, with
Davis and Morris behind the bat,
Hartman, Herman or Lambeth in the
box, Coulter on first, Lester on sec
ond, Boiler at short, A. Anderson
on third, and Casad, M. Anderson,
and Tulley in the outfield. This will
he the first appearance in a game
at home of the team with the new
suits. The game will start at 3:15.
Admission to those not holding stu.
dem tickets or season passes will be
so cents.
