HE flUINEO THE MINERS
The Western Federation of Miner*
is not wanted in Minnesota and Mich
igan. That has been made strikingly
clear since the beginning of a striae
amorg the miners in the iron ore re
gions of northern Minnesota a -few
week- ago. The etTort? of federation'
agitators to organise the miners have
been emphatically and to a large ex
tent successfully discouraged t>y citi
zens. business men and many of the
m.uers thrui-elves. Two receut iuci
ileu'.s ?re -an; pies of the rasny that
have occurnd.
Au agitator sent by the Western
Federation of miners to Crystal talis,
Mich., was informed by the miners
that the) were contended with their
lot and had no desire to become identi
ties w.th an organization which has
made for itself the record of the West
tern Federation :i Idaho and Colorado.
The stranger left.
At V rgin a. Minn., another agitvor
dropped uto town and p anned to hold
a meet cc As ?oon a* the news spread a
cc mit'ee ot business men called upou
him and suggested that he leave. He
comp ;ti. with thr.r wishes acd the
lights in the hali were turned out.
Afterwards about 100 busine>- men met
and passed a number ot resolutions of;
which :his ? as one: "That the people !
of this district will not tolerate anarchy j
or a. on- agitators to stir up strife I
axongour people."
t 'a the principle tLat "prevention is ;
better than cure." the peop'e of north
ern Michigan and MiQnoJta are doing
wei. prevent by lawful means, the ,
estt : n federation of Miners from i
attaniog strength in their territory. '
They are fami. ar enough with the
story of crime outrage and murder
connected w.th that organization it '
Idaho :o become tirm'y determined that
oppormc y sh . 1 not be given among
them :o: ?.a ar lawlessness.? Spoke- 1
nun Kt view.
And vrt i ?sp:te all the bad showing#
mane by them, the Western Federation
of Miners - not a ia-vless organiza
tion. The rat-k and tile ire a class)
?el: er than which co man would care 1
to have a> n-.ightw- and friends. It is
the leaders .hi.*; whos e* for power
acd thj position in the si?t light of j
pub. city that have dragged the organ
isation down. With the election of W.
L>. Hay wood, as secretary . I the Western I
Fedr at on of Miners, the lawless ele
ment rushed to the front and with
the red dag of anarchy unfurlrj. ar
assault was begun upon the property o: j
the Mineowi.ers, who had hecetofort
agreed to all reasonable and unreason
ab.e ur-mand* made by the meu in Col
orado. The peace loving members)
were re egjted to the rear. Kiot, dyu
mite outrages and murders fjllewed
each other w hout intermission until !
the state of Colorado was aroused and
handled the Federation men as vne out
laws they were. Hut the meu
id general should not be hla-ned for
these crimts. The arch actor in them
?Hi. W. D. Hay wood. He it is whose
eyes shou d be haunted by visi.ns of
fatherless families lonely graves: dyn

and aithcugh be has been a toned to

Steunenbcrg case, he should remember
that he is unown to have destroyed the
influence of the once great organii: -tion
over which he still hods sway, and
that while he many not be actuailv
guilty of fie Steunenberg crime he was
so closely allied to it that his garments
smell of blood.
The proper authorities at Wasnins
