Chicago, June 9.--The national eX-
Ccutive committee Of the socialist
party met here today and drafted two
memorials to President Wilson--one
on the Mexican situation and the 9th
or on conditions in Colorado as the
result of the coal miners strike. The
committee protested against the pres
dent changing his policy of non-in-
reference in Mexico and recommends
that he order an investigation into
the Colorado elections under the au-
thority of the department of justice.
Against Intervention.
Speaking for more than 100O, 600
voters" the Mexican memorial says
I'VE view with grave alarm the i'm
piled threat contained in your recent
warning 10 the contending elements
of war-torn MEXICO. The socialist
party is unalterahly opposed TO arm
ed Intervention ana II that Is the hid
den meaning of your changed attitude
on the situation then we do hereby
solemnly protest against your man
date of June 2, in which you declare
that this government must presently
do what it has not hitherto felt at
liberty to do. LeEd its active moral
support to some man or group of men
who can rally the suffering people of
Mexico to their support in an effort
to ignore, if they cannot unite, the
warning factions of the country and
set 10 a government which the great
powers Of the world can deal with
"We feel that the United States will
best serve the interests of the Next
can people by not meddling or inter-
fering in the present crisis. We feel
that armed Intervention means the
practical assassination OF the aspira-
lions of the liherty-loving Mexican
people. This course, we earnestly
protest against and will oppose with
all the power at our command, no
matter on what pretext such action
may be based"
Colorado i'm BAD Way.
The Colorado memorial says:
1--WE can not escape the conviction
that there exists In Colorado today a
government which metes out two
kinds of administration.
zone for the rich and another for
the poor, two kinds of judiciary: one
condoning the crimes of the rich, an
other Of brutal terror to the poor.
Therefore we present for your earn
est consideration that every possible
effort be made by the government of
the United states to prevent repeti-
ton Of the recent travestcs on JUS
tice. This can be done by convicting
and removing from office those re-
sponsible for irregular convictions
and who were elected to office by
frauds and violence TO he accomplish
ed by the same methods as those em-
ployed by the department of justice
in Terre Haute with such conspicu-
Gus success.
1--WE declare it our firm conviction
that no effort should be spared to-
bring about the indictment OF all
against whom proof of guilty knowl-
edge has been presented before the
commission on Industrial relations
and the congressional committee on
the Colorado strike"
