The Colorado Labor War.
The Mining Camps For Three Years Have Been Storm
Centre—Trouble Precipitated By Fallure of Leg-
isture To Pass The Eight Hour Bill.
For three years lawlessness has prevailed
in many of the missing camps of Colorado,
and events of Monday are another outbreak
on the part of the men who have kept that
state in a turmoil and make it the storm
centre of organized labor.
During the time of the troubles many
camps have been practically constantly in
charge of the militia. High handed meth-
ods have been a feature of both sides of the
conflict and in many instances the moss
serious kind of strife bas been only nar-
rowly averted.
The trouble began when the Legislature
failed to pass the eight hour bill, princi-
pally because, it is charged, of the influ-
ence of Governor Peabody. Organized
labor immediately decided to force the
issue, and selected the Cripple Creek dis-
triots as its scene of operations. As soon
as the challenge was issued and the
campaign outlined the battle was accepted,
and then armies of non-union men to the
scene. In fact, 80 many poured into the
district that work was not ready for all
of them. The representatives of the labor
unions who conducted the conflict and
forced the issue were declared to be the
radicals in the organizations, and it was
immediately seen that they intended to
leave no stone unturned to gain the point
Tuesday he was stopped by a policeman
and questioned as to his identity. Carter
concluded that he was songht for deserting
they had marked to gain their goal.
Clashes became frequent in the Cripple
Creek district, and then the campaigners
advanced a stage to the stronghold of the
Western Federation of Miners in San Juan
countv, and the federation then considered
to be practically impregnable, made known
its position by ordering a strike. which
caused a climax. .

EE EE EE EE ESSERE
Governor Peabody rallied to the side of the
owners of the mines and these were joined
by the entire power at the disposal of the
State. San Miguel conuty became especially
turbulent, bat in three months, by taki
extreme measures, the anthorisies restor
order and the agitators who had precipitated
the trouble were chased over the mountains
from Telluride.
The instant the militia was withdrawn
the warfare was renewed. The radicals
and agitators immediately returned to the
scene of their defeat, and in a few days the
situation was tenfold worse than it had
been at the earlier stage of the conflict.
Bus the audacity and apparent deter-
mination of the agitators to turn the section
into a hotbed of battle settled their fate.
The citizens of the invaded distriot became
aroused and took the law into their own
hands. Then followed a reign of terror
for the radicals. Agitators were dragged
from their beds and homes and sent across
the mountains in a special train as a warn-
ing to them and to others of their kind
that the law abiding people of that section
of the disturbed State would no longer tol-
erate the stirring upof trouble in this
manner.
Then the agitators took a course often
used by the men they were fighting—they
appealed to the law, and from Judge
Stevens was procured an injunction.
With this behind them they returned to
the disturbed district and once more chaos
reigned. :
Governor Peabody was aroused now, and
within an hour of the granting of the
Stevens injunction he had ordered a mob-
ilization of the entire National Guard of
the State. It was expected that the troops
would be sent to Telluride, but the safety
of this place was intrusted to one body of
local savalry, while the main body of the
soldiers was despatched to Trinidad, the
centre of the coal district, where the
strikers had been in control since last Sep-
tember. As this place the militia soon
asserted itself and in a very short time ter-
ror gave way to comparative peace and the
disorder that had been rampant bad in a
measure been checked,
AGITATORS ARE WANTED.
In Telluride, meantime, the agitators
who had returned had been met hy Gen.
Bell, the commander of the militia who
first promised to protect them - and then
gave them full and liberal instructions as
to the line of conduct they were to observe.
Apparently bis advice and suggestions were
well received, and for some time the camp
in which the agitators were at work en-
joyed a reasonable kind of peace.
All this time the soldiers were eager for
a brush with the strikers. When they
were entrained at Denver not a man had
known his destination, and it was a great
surprise to the troops when they found
themselves at Trinidad, where the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company were the chief op-
erators. The former had been compelled
to suspend operations, in its great steel
plant at Pueblo, discharging 10,000 men.
Lack of fuel caused shut down and the
companies frequently stated that they
would be able to resume operations if the
strikers did not interfere with the men they
had brought from West Virginia and Kan-
sas coal mines, where the pay was not equal
to that in the Colorado scale.
Three weeks after the inauguration of
the strike proper two men were maurder-
ously assaulted. This was the first of the
serious outrages, and there have been
many since. Guard houses were establish-
ed in the turbulent camps, and miners,
including all the members of the executive
been incarcerated. .
Three thousand of the business men
and citizens of Victor sent a petition to
Governor Peabody for the recall of the
troops. The Governor refused point blank
$0 consider the request, saying to the busi-
ness men who presented the petition:
“The militia will stay in the strike
xeglon until I am satisfied it is not need-
DESTRUCTION IS CHARGED.
In the ten years of its existence the
Western Federation of Miners is charged
with baving caused a greater destruction
of property and depreciation of values than
any other organization in the West.
When the fight was first provoked in
Colorado it was a question as to whether
the mine properties should be controlled
by the owners or the employes. The
owners were not the aggressors in any in-
stance, all the conflicts having been pre-
cipitated by the men. The owners re-
mained always on the defensive until
forced to a decision and then they acted
unanimously and promptly.
Northen Colorado has been known as
the open shop for miners, bus in the Crip-
ple Creek distriot the loss has been stupen-
ous and the number of ontrages so great that
it has been impossible to enumerate them.
Everything from derailment of trains to
assassination has been chronicled in the
camps since the outbreak of the strike.
Until the advent of the militia White-
cappers held full sway. They balked at
nothing, and the desperation of the men
never was better illustrated than in an
explosion in the Vindicator mine, which
cost the lives of two men. This happened
with the mine surrounded by cavalry pa-
trols and with eight hundred armed men
within call. A justice of the peace who
decided to bind over some of the strikers
for a trivial assault was taken from his
bed after midnight and left for dead on
jagged rocks, where he was found the next
morning.
In September, the Victor ‘‘Record,’
the oldest newspaper in Victor, near which
the Independence, Portland and other
great mines are located, was suppressed by
the military. All the employers, includ-
ing the editors and printers, were arrested.
The ‘‘Record’”’ bad offended by abusing
the militia and had printed articles tend-
ing to cause violence and prevent a peace-
ful ending of the troubles in the district.
Mrs. Emma T. Langdon, wife of the
editor, however, and a linotype operator,
kept the ‘‘Record’’ from suspending pub-
lication. She barricaded the office and
defied arrest and got the newspaper
across the front page of which was printed
‘‘Badly battered, but still in the ring.”
Ever since the Coenr d’Alene mining
troubles, which culminated in a congress-
ional inquiry, in 1900, the mining region
of Colorado and Idaho has been in a state
of unrest. The Coeur d’Alene inquiry
revealed the details of a far reaching con-:
spiracy and a system of organized orime
and lawlessness in which the civil author-
ities were awed and the law suspended.
Investigation into the ‘‘Molly Maguire”
system employed proved that the radicals
who precipitated the strike and the suc-
ceeding troubles did not hesitate to blow
up mills and kill their rivals in their de-
termination to win the strike they bad
brought about.
In the course of the investigation in
Washington one of the men who bad heen
confined in the famoos ‘bull pen’’ there
testified at length as to his experences and
tortures there. His testimony was sup-
and he charged that not only were the
physical conditions there fearful, hut thas
his mail bad been opened, and when his
wife had been seriously injured he was not
allowed to visit her.
From that time until the present the
radical labor elements in the mines has
sought trouble at every opportunity and a
conflict has been waged between the agita-
tors and the law. Occasionally the battle
bas come into the open, but all the time
it has been iu existence, only awaiting the
moment to break out in bloodshed and
chaos.
