There is e. great principle at stake.
It is none other than the right Of the
people to rule, as against the claims
Of small minoricies. If the Kansas
miners attempt to obstruct the volun-
teor coal digsers they will prove the
charge tllaS they are trying to take
advantage Of the dire need Of the
people and obtain results by direct
action. That is something entirely
foreign to the United States. The
people will have none Of it. They
would have none Of it in Boston, in
Seattle or in other places where direct
action has been attempted. Obstruction
of the work of volunteer diggers would
not be in behalf of higher wages. 1t
