THE DENVER STRIKE


yer has been in state of civil
war. Armed men were imported
into the state by the Tramway
company to break strike de-
clared by the Tramway employees.
These men violated the state laws
by carrying deadly weapons con-
cealed and openly. Upon the other
side mob demolished the equip
ments of the Denver Post and des-
troyed other property. The part
les to the conflict had several
clashes and number of people
were killed and many more
wounded. The situation became
so serious that the state and city
authorities felt that it was absol-
utely necessary to call upon the
United States government for aid.
Regular troops were sent in re-
sponse to the call and the city is
now under martial law. In the
meantime the public walks,
Strikes of this kind are not un-
usual, hundreds of them occur
each year in the United States
and there is no reason for the be-
lief that they will be less fire.
quent in the future than they
have been in the past. The pres
ent attitude of those engaged in
the industrial conflicts indicates
that the conflicts of the future
will be on larger scale and will
be waged with increased bitter
ness and violence.
Capital upon one side is deter
mined to. retain the special priv
ileges which it now has and has
perfected powerful organiza-
tion with untold millions behind
it, for the purpose of ruling and
exploiting the country. Arrayed
against them to protect their own
interests, labor each year, is be-
coming more solidly organized.
What is the answer? The ans
wer is, that private ownership of
the public utilities has proved to
be the most monumental failure
of the century. The only class
that has been benefited by this
utterly unjust and unfair system
is the privileged few.
The most deadly and insidious
enemies to our institutions and
form of government that exist in
America today are the privileged
classes. The true patriots of this
country are those who oppose
them, those who are striving to
take away their special privileges,
to destroy the rule of the money
power in governmental affairs
and leave the government where
the founders of this republic
placed it, in the hands of the peo-
pie.

This was followed by Demo-
cratic county assembly, which,
without a dissenting vote, endors-
ed the entire farmers ticket, thus
giving them "a free field in the
primaries. The failure of the
Democrats of Weld county to des-
ignate a ticket of their own and
their unanimous acceptance of the
farmers ticket, proves that the
entire Democratic party and the
progressive Republicans Of Weld
county are in sympathy with the
farmer movement.
Boulder and other counties also
show a strong tendency in the
same direction. There is but lit
tie doubt the progressive Repub-
licans both in the mountains and
valley will cast their lot with the
Democrats in the coming cam
paign. Victor l. Noxon, a life
long Democrat, and the editor of
the Boulder Miner, has taken a
strong stand in favor of the far
mer and labor movement.
An important thing to consider
is, that the Democratic platform
will be made by the Democratic
candidates after the primary ell
ections. If we nominate progress
ives we will get a progressive
platform upon the live issues of
the day. On the other hand, if
we nominate reactionary candi-
dates we must expect a reaction
Fary platform of words straddling
every important issue.
We know now what the farmer
labor platform is, and it would be
safe prediction that the reac-
TONERS platform would in the
main be exactly the opposite. One
plank IN the farmer-labor party
that should strongly appeal to
miners, mine owners and to all
business men of the mountains
VINO depend upon the mining IN
dustry for their prosperity, is the
state ownership of smelters and
refineries. This movement is
called radical and undemocratic
by the stand-pat politicians who
forget that twenty-eight years
ago the Democratic party en-
dorscd the Populist ticket in this
state and also endorsed the Weav-
er presidential electors and the
platform went a little farther but
was very similar to the farmer
labor platform. The measures
that are now advocated by the far
mer-labor party were supported
by such sterling Democrats as

THE FARMER-LABOR VOTE

There are many indications
that the farmer-labor vote will be
an important factor in the Demo-
cratic primaries and also in the
November election. The farmers
met in convention in Weld county,
one of the largest counties in the
state, and nominated a farmers
ticket to fill the county offices.

KILLING HAITIANS.
A Marine Sport, Writer Asserts.


New York-How American marines.
! largely made up of and Differed by
Southerners, opened fire with machine
guns from airplanes upon defenseless
Haitian villages, killing men, women
and children in the open market
Places; how natives were slain for
sport" by hOodlum element among
these same Southerners, and how the
ancient cOrVee system of enforced la
Dor was revived and ruthlessly exc
cuted, increasing, through retaliation,
the banditry in Haiti and Santo Do
mlngo, was told by Harry A. Franck,
the noted traveller and authority on
the West Indies. Mr.. Franck was in
Haiti in January of this year on tour
OF the Caribbeans for the Century
Magazine
The natives were armed largely
with obsolete and useless firearms,
some even with scythes, according to
Mr.. Franck, and it is to this fact
rather than to the boosted marksman-
ship of the marines that he attributes
the deaths of 5000 blacks and of only
twelve whites.
Wilson Is Blamed.
Mr.. Franck blames Secretary Dan.
iels and President Wilson for failing
| to control the situation in the black
republic or to take steps to change
the prevailing low value placed on the
lives of the natives by the forces of
occupation.
II do not know these things of my
own knowledge" said Mr.. Franck.
"But I heard of them from many re-
liable sources, including sources
friendly to the Americans, and l am
certain in my own mind that they are
| true.
while some killing was necessary,
a good deal Of it was uncalled for.
One of the factors which I found re-
sponsible for conditions was that the
marines stationed there were COM
posed very largely of young Southern
ers, who looked down on the Haitian
population, which is nearly 100 per
cent black, and held native lives very
| cheaply. There was also a great pre-
dominance Of officers from the South.
Il found many earnest young South
ern officers, who were undoubtedly
doing their duty to the best of their
ability, but: they took harsh view of
their duty and placed too small a value
on the lives of black people. Further
than that, there was hoodlum ele-
ment of young Southerners among the
enlisted men who killed the blacks for
sport. These were mainly men who
did not get into the great war and

THE RAPE OF HAITI.

Evidence is accommodating that the
conquest of Haiti by the armed forces
Of the United States under the Wilson
administration was one Of the great
est atrocities of modern times.
The latest from Washington is that
summary investigation of alleged
practically indiscriminate killing" of
Haitian natives by United States
marines was ordered more than a year
ago by Maj. Gen. Barnett, then COM
mandant of the marine corps, has
been made by the publication by Gen.
Barnett on operations in Haiti during
American occupation. The report
shows that United States marines
slew more than $3.50 Haitians in five
years.
The navy department made public
October 5 report prepared by Gen.
Lejeune, now commandant of the
corps, on the work Of the marines in
Haiti. It declared that "peace and
tranquility" prevailed in the island
and that the marines had won the
gratitude of all law-abiding natives.
1t is very evident that peace and
tranquility" prevail among the $3.50
Haitians murdered by the marines.

CALVIN COOLlDGE's CREED.

Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massa-
chusetts, when notified of his nominal
ton for Vice President on the Repub-
lican ticket, outlined his creed. The
Darog graph relative to colored citizens
is especially fine, and evidently sin
cere; it is as follows:
There is especially due to the COL
ored race more general recognition
of their constitutional rights. Tempted
with disloyalty, they remained loyal,
serving in the military forces with dis
tinction, obedient to the draft to the
extent Of hundreds of thousands, in
vesting 81 Out of every S. they pos
sessed in Liberty bonds; surely, they
hold the double title Of citizenship, by
birth and by conquest, to be relieved
from all imposition, to be defended
from lynching, and to be freely granted
equal opportunities.

carried on against them by the So
called American Christians, in spite
of the fact that the Christ was a. Jew.
Now if, the Jews With all Of their
wealth and consequent power find it
necessary to fight to prevent the
lapse of public opinion into state of
unfriendliness to the Jew" how much
more important for the colored people
who have already lost many civil
rights, which are freely accorded to
the Jews, to make determined effort
to regain them.
One sad thing about the Jewish
question is the readiness with which
the Jews join with the oppressors of
the colored people. Not all of them,
OF course, but too many, when one
considers the sufferings of the Jewish
people through the ages. Some rich
Jews, alleging philanthropy, have
given millions to aid in the lowering
OF the social status of the colored
people because it pleased Caucasian
American Christians and brought
profits to their bullying pockets.

HARDING IN CONFERENCE.

editor William Monroe Trotter, in
Boston Guardian.)
! We, the editor, have been in per-
sonal conference with candidate Har-
ding. 1t was on the Front Porch day
for the race at Marion, but in the
front room of Senator Harding's Of
flee, close beside his house.
We were with President N. S. Tay-
lor, and ce-president M A. N. Shaw,
D. D. We laid before MIR. Harding
those national wrongs of lynching,
disfranchisement, jim Grow cars and
federal segregation. In fact we pre-
sented the case as determined at the
national race conference held by the
League in Chicago last April.
Mr.. Harding was frank to say that
he would not cheat us~in the race by
rash or false promises, that he would
search practicable way for relief in
the matters where Congress had ju-
risdiction. But he came out positive
ly against the segregation of its own
employees by the federal government.
In short, in the election of Senator
Harding we have clear promise of a
cessation of that form Of race dis
elimination which now is practiced
by the federal government itself,
which is the logical point at which
to begin reform. and relief.

Elected in Butler the first OF the week
when substantial reductions were
made in many lines carried by the
principal retailers OF the city, and
especially was the reduction marked
in the dry goods and clothing lines.
The leading retailers of the city ax-
pressed themselves as gratified at the
prospect of rapid stabilization Of
merchandising through reduction Of
prices to more sane and reasonable
level.
Butler merchants emphasize, and
their statements are borne out by T.
comparison of prices, that the mar
ket has never been followed npward
in all its phases by the local r3tailers,
hence percentages of reduction will
not show in so large a. volume a.
though it is insisted that the market
will be closely followed, in its down

the above statement will be found in
the price of Devonshire cloth which
has been selling at retail in certain
city stores in the middle west At
eighty-five cents per yard, and which
according to Butler retailers has
never sold here at more than fifty
eight cents.
Local dealers assert that this same
condition will be found to prevail in
nearly all lines.
