COLORADO PAPER WEAKENS.

Pueblo, Col-rhe dismissal by Dis
trict Judge Wiley, Trinidad, of perjury
charges against Horace n. Hawkins
and Fred w. Clark, attorneys for the
Mine Workers Union, has had sober
ing effect on people who have believed
they could railroad" union miners to
the penitentiary.
The Pueblo Chieftain has been stout
advocate of the coal operators brand
Of "law and order" but this paper now
believes it is time to call a halt in court
proceedings against the miners, While
it can hardly be expected the editor
would make full confession at this
time, the following editorial expression
indicates that the solid front presented
by Colorado trade unonists has resulted
in a damaged program of their oppo-
nentS:
I'VE believe we speak the sentiment
of the people of Colorado when we say,
we trust the time is not far distant when
all these cases will be settled for good.
Those in charge of the prosecution
should pick the ones they believe they
can secure convictions on and try them
Immediately and drop the others. There
are several hundred more under indict-
ment and out on bond not five per cent
of whom can ever be convicted. There
are few against whom the State claims
evidence appears to be decidedly strong.
These cases should be pushed to a
speedy trial and the others dropped

From time to time the American Fed

tied by your organization and others
who came to Washington in behalf of
the Mexican labor movement and the
Mexican cause. From these delegates
the executive council Of the American

We have learned with what bravery

All these facts point to the necessity

AWAKE IN WILMINGTON, DEL.

Wilmington, Del--A labor forward"
movement was started in this city last
week with one of the largest and most
enthusiastic meetings ever held by Will
mington trade unionists.
a. +. of l.. representatives and Of
licials Of several international unions
spoke on various phases of the labor
question. An aggressive trade union
spirit has been developed in this city
during the past year and the organized
workers are thoroughly awake to their
power. The solidity of brewery work
ers and machinists, in their eight-hour
strikes, the support given them by their
organized fellows, and the opposition of
manufacturers have all been factors in
developing greater militancy.

was between $500 and $500, that more
than 90 per cent were forced to borrow.
and that 70 per cent were not in sound

said to the workers, We have you where
we want you, and we will crush you.
