AND THEY THINK THEY ARE ON A STRIKE.

AND THEY THINK THEY ARE ON STRIKE.
 Said welIknown citizen of Bisbee last evening, a gentleman his fairness and friendness toward labor as well as his intelligence: q have been following strike propaganda closely since it first started missing meeting in City Park or chance to hear the leaders talk of alleged grevacnes and am forced to the conclusion that these who started this trouble and are keeping going with their voices purely simply socialists of the red brand who are using this valley as school room their doctrines great copper mines and hundreds of miners pawns. It is melancholy conclusion and reflects sadly upon the intelligence of their dupes.
 q can understand why these striking miners go once or even twice plausible fellows talk and to laugh grotesque comparisons and wild, fierce denuncations but, for the life of cannot understand they subsist upon steady diet of this stuff It is like eating soap bubbles"
 These l. w. w orators have certain low cunning. a big mistake refuse to concede them that Their stories comparisons well calculated to appeal their hearers. But is noticeable that they do talk of practical things They do not offer thing for what they have taken awaysteady work and the respect of the rest of the community They beautiful visions of the future but offer ladders by which climb rosy heights They denounce the cooper barons" who built great structures of usefulness and beauty canyon yet they them selves building nothing here but air castles of words that are destroyed at by silence
 They do not point out any concrete instances of bad in the mines that ought to be remeded in the interest of safety or health They do not Bisbee wage scale evil example of poor when compared to the wages of class of workingmen in any community in the world They talk only of the quality of man and of the dreams that ought to come true They preach only socialism and equality and an archy in general way If they meant what they said they would found colony community of their own and praccabilty of these things before trying them upon the rest of this practical world If they were honest and sincere, and really sought good for their poor, deuded follow ers they would assemble all their kind and be lief together try make the wilder ness blossom like the rose and of these theories There plenty of mining prospects in these With the money they have wasted in this strike the money their dupes have lost in vanished wages, they could mining venture along very they spout and about the platform night after night
 Then. after they have proved their doctrines and earned the right to lead these mners after they have performed miracle of the impossible let them come communities who live and labor and love under the precep and protection of the constitution and they will be listened to with respect if not with belief
 These striking miners fondly believe that their lead conducting strike It very sad. It is pitiful In reality they are calling men from their to the rankest and widest rawlings of extreme so ciasm that have been preached by any fanatic These speeches when the nation is peace. merely drivel that people and disgust others and interest few But when the nation is at they The United States government regards social and anarchists and disturbers and rioters the enemies They being arrested in many places and are watched everywhere. They strongly suspected and in many have been proved be in leaguC with Prussian spies Whosoever keeps company witf them or consorts with abes them witl voice influence sympathy is automatically. by ha very act placed upon the suspect list; governments black list Socialists upon record al opposing war opposing conscption opposing estabse, law They are being by official all over the country.
 This is one of the big why union labor lead CTS of repute everywhere have denounced these strike
