OJO, Colo. March Is, 1918.
Editor Denver Labor Bulletin, Den
yer, Colo.
Dear Sir and Brother: Permit me
to publish n few lines in your valua-
BILE paper. A year ago last January,
while we struggled here in Ojo for
better conditions and to free our
selves from slavery to the coal bar
ons, one James +. Moran took charge
in District Is of the United Mine
Workers of America. During the re-
cent strike in the southern coal fields,
we lost one of our members fighting
with the company thugs and buried
him at our own expense. Last year
this local passed resolution at regu-
lar meeting to raise some money to
prosecute the murderer of this broth
er, and we asked one John NJ. O'Neill
to print n little article in his auto
cratic paper, but he sent us an an
swer as follows: Il must have an
order from the district officers to do
it, But he didn't wait for orders
from these officials to publish articles
against our loyal American trade
unionists.
met the notorious Moran one day
and / spoke to him about it. but he
said that he did not know anything
about the case. That was the first
time l had the "honor" to make his
acquaintance. He asked me how
everything was going with us, and l
told him all right Then he began
to talk against John Il. Lawson and
abuse him.
Then we had another strike here.
and Mike Salvage came up and told
us that everything could be settled
in favor of us if we would 20 to
Denver and sign the contract between
the Mine Workers and the Alliance
Coal Co. At that time / suggested
something to the so-called district
officers, but they told me not to ask
very much, ms in short time they

would have all the coal companies
signed up.
We didn't get raise, but at that
time the 60-cent raise was coming up
and we supposed we would get it.
Two months after the agreement
was signed. and we were still work
ing without any raise, the president
of the Alliance Coal Co. was in camp
and two other men and myself went
to see him about the raise. He said.
Il had lunch with Mr.. Moran one
day in Denver and he told me that
you fellows got enough" Then l
went after the union breaker and he
denied it, so we got the raise only
ing under the so-called Mine Work
ers contract.
Now last July Moran sent his two
guards up here to see that we have
everything we want, one Mike Sal
wage and one Hugh Freel. Freel had
the honor to ask me TO give my sup
port to Mr.. Moran at the Boulder
convention and they would pay my
expenses from the district treasury.
/ told him all right, but when l went
to the convention. Of course l sup
ported Mr., Lawson, because l knew
these fellows were crooked.
While IN Boulder MORAN asked me
if | was going to support The Denver
Labor Bulletin, and I told him yes,
and he said that | am not a good
union man if l support The Denver
Labor Bulletin. l got mad and called
him "scab," and he left me without
answering.
Now, l know More crooked work
which they have done here, but can't
state it all in this letter. But be-
lieve this is enough to show them
what we know and what we think of
them, and hope the crooks will read
this before they leave us.
Yours fraternally,
STERGH MAVORDIS.

the labor situation in the United
