Infanayof theLawson Trial
By SAMUEL COMPERS
Leading Editorial in the July Federationist

Some time last year Mr.. L. NJ. Bowers
of the board of directors OF Colorado
Fuel and Iron company wrote to John
ID. Rockefeller, jr.:
You will be interested to know that
we have been able to secure the co.
operation of all the bankers of the city,
who have had three or four interviews
with our little cowboy governor. agree
ing to back the state and lend it all
the funds necessary to maintain the
militia and afford ample protection so
that our miners could return to work.
or give protection to men who are
anxious to come up here from Texas.
New Mexico and Kansas. together with
some states further east Besides the
bankers, the Chamber of Commerce, the
Real Estate Exchange together with a
great many of the best business men
have been urging the governor to take
steps to drive these vicious agitators out
of the state. Another mighty power has
been rounded up in behalf of the oper-
ators by the gathering together of four
teen OF the editors of the most import
ant newspapers in Denver, Pueblo,
Trinidad. Walsenburg, Colorado Springs,
and other of the larger places in the
state"
from this hilarious statement to the
dominating power in Colorado industries
that these interests We're lined up for
definite purpose? The nature OF the
purpose became evident in the pressure
brought to bear upon the miners. fore
ing them to return to work for the need
of bread without having secured recog-
milton for their rights as free workers.
The purpose became more evident la
ter. The state egislators-among those
whom Mr.. Bowers had lined up
passed law providing for special iu
dicial district. Mr.. CRANKY Hillyer, who
had been attorney for the Colorado Fuel
4 Iron company and allied coal compan-
les concerned in the strike was made
Judge of the new district. lie was TO
preside at the trials OF strikers.
Before this tribunal OF justice was
brought John X. Lawson. executive board
member of the United Mine Workers OF
America charged with the crime Of be
ing leader OF the miners who had
struck for their rights as free workers
and citizens under the laws of the
state OF Colorado. Plainly it was not
John X. lawson who was on trial, but
organized labor.
Let us see the further actions OF some
of those whom Mr. Bowers had lined
up" for the Rockefeller interests against
the men who dared aid their fellow
workers to obtain some consideration
for their rights and interests. For in
stance. in Colorado, Attorney General
Fred Farrar boasts that in the case
OF John K. Lawson he has secured the
first conviction of strike leader on the
charge OF being directly responsible for
the death OF man who had been killed
in strike riot.

In 1888 coinage mints We're established

The Denver mint was completed and

OF the country We receive bullion de-
posits from all over the country, but
chiefly from Alaska and the Rocky
mountain states.
The amount OF bullion received per

barometer, showing in a way the mining
conditions in the various sections from a
business standpoint. ] am pleased to
state that the bullion deposits for this
wear show quite a large increase over
the same period of last year and would
seem to indicate more activity in the
mining industry throughout Colorado ana
the western mining states. Although
| bullion received, as a rule, contains gold,
silver, copper and other metals, we oniy

After bullion has been melted and as
saved it is refined into practically pure
gold and silver bars, but before it is
manufactured into coin the proper
amount of alloy is added All gold and
silver coin contain ten per cent OF cop
per alloy, five-cent pieces contain twenty

ninety five per cent OF copper and i've

During the year we purchase many

very poor grade and we find that very

one half gold and much of what is con

all gold purchased and pay about one
point under the market price for silver.

The Labor Press

From its own point of view, that OF
economic interests, and caring little. ap.
parently. about other phases of the world
problems, except as they effect the we'll
being OF the American working man in
his own home and association the la
Dor press has come to what we regard
as the sanest attitude in secular Jour
nalism on issues of the war. We read
the labor papers regularly and look in
vain for braggadocio. nationalistic preju-
dices. belligerent preferences, false pride
and jingoism. We find no open or secret
abetting of the ammunition and arIul-
ment interests, and lest we be accused
of anti English bias, we will include in
this category the labor press of Canada.
The labor editors are not college bred
men with pretenses of higher education.
But they do understand the problems of
the workingman which affect the mass
of the people They know instinctively
that those who are calling loudest for
war are the worst enemies that they
themselves have to contend with in
peace, if the clash OF industrial struggle
can indeed he termed peace. Their la
Dor unions have been to them Il school
in which they have learned more than
the sons of the rich in the gold-plat ed
universities. The labor press reflects all
this and thus gives life to policy that
is unsophisticated. sane, human, fearless
and democratic. There is no stronger
influence today in America over against
the metropolitan newspapers than the
American Federation of Labor, all the
peace societies and German American
elements notwithstanding. - Rev. Peter
