PETITION FOR
A NEW TRIAL
Attorney Hilton asks
Supreme Court to
Reverse Action.
i
On Dec., 21st.,Attorney O.N.Hilton
of Denver, attorney for the Western
Federation of Miners, argued before
the Supfeme Court of Nevada the mot
ion of a new trial of the cases of Pres
ton and Smith. Preston and Smith
were convicted of the murder of Silva,
a Goldfield restaurant keeper, and
sentenced to twenty—five and ten
years, respectively, in Carson peni
tentiary. Silva was killed by Preston
in March of this year; and the con
victed men were sentenced in May.
It has always been contended by the
union men of Goldfield that Preston
killed Silva in self defence;; that the
trial of the case, conduted as it was
amid all the excitement and prejudice
inseparable from labor disputes such
as was then in existece, was not fair,
and that the convicted men were en
titled to anew trial. We print below
the conclusion of Judge Hilton’s
argument before the Supreme Court.
“As individal units of that society,
we are here to decide a grave and mo
mentous question. The qestion con
cerns the liberty of two men; two
men, soldiers of fortune, if you please,
whom it seems have sought in an
humble but perhaps mistaken way
to right a wrong. This attempt led
to a discussion ; the discussion has
produced irritation ;the irritation has
resulted in unrest and enmity ; each
has stood for his rights as he viewed
them; these rights have clashed; the
clash has resuted in an affray; a
crime has been committed, an offense
of which the public must take notice.
By reason of economic conditions,
public opinion has not only taken
note of the offense but great stress of
public feeling has followed ; the stress
1 of feeing has colored and as I view it,
perverted dispassionate judgment,
and by such perversion the safegaurds
thrown about to protect the liberty
of the individual, and hence the en
tire commuunity composed of such
individuals, have been disregarded to
the harm of the individuals of thit
community. But I am not yet ready,
nor dol think Your Honors are ready
to yield assent to changing and mod
ifying constitutional safegaurds so
that oppression may continue on the
one hand and crime go unpunished on
the other. I do not believe that we
can swerve from these principles in
any emergency or to fit any end,
without paying the cost of a confused
and disturbed state of society. We
find that this is true of the Commer
cial world today —disturbed, excited,
unhealthy conditions of affairs in
duced by laxity in business methods.
Should the same iaxity of method
prevail in the domain of justice we
must pay the price of justice de
throned and tyranny rampant.
“Therefore I am asking now that
Your Honors again with patience and
consideration and impartiality to
apply the underlying principles ofthe
law to the facts of this case, and
check that unwise partizanship and
stress of feeling that has, for time,
forgotten the calmer and saner things.
It makes no difference that for
eight thousand years we have sought
to apply these principles, yet the duty
is none the less important to reapply
them in this case, and to the still
greater number of criminal cases, that
unfortunately, in the course of human
civilazation must, come before the
courts of our land. We have built up
a system, stone upon stone, but if we
are to maintain the harmony and bea
uty of that system, we, now here,
must again add to it, with all the
patience and unselfishness of a work
man building for the future and we
must be true to the pattern set in the
foundation stone justice and equality
without fear and without favor.
‘ ‘The structure grows; in the very
order of things it must grow and grow
enormously ; it must grow and keep
peace with human needs for it is the
repository of human liberty. There
are evidenes that it has not always
grow harmouiousiy nor in accordance
with the pattern set in the found
ation stone, have with patience, lern
ing and justice, striped from the struc
ture the evidences of its disfigure
ment and haste, and replaced and re
paired it. it should not discourage us
that it may have to be done again
and again as humanity is perturbed
and tossed to and fro with sadden em
otions and feeling, because that which
lasts, which is as .sure and certain,as
the firm set earth, is that which is
founded on justice and equality, pat
iently and conscientiously wrought
and re—wrought into the pattern
each time that it is disfigured by
passion ana human prejudice. Eter
nal vigilance is the price of national
liberty,and patience and faith are the
handmaidens of Justice that enable
her to hold the scales, in which are
weighed all human actions in just
and unwavering balance.”
Nevada Workman.
PREAMBLE OF
THE W. F. OF M.
1. —We hold that there is a class
struggle in society and that this
struggle is caused by economic con
ditions.
2. —We affirm the economic con
dition of the producer to be that he is
exploited of the wealth which he pro
duces, being allowed to retain barely
sufficient for his elementary necessi
ties.
3. —We hold that the class struggle
will continue until the producer is
recognized as the sole master of his
product.
4. —We assert that the working class
and it alone, can and must achieve
its own emancipation.
5. —We hold, finally, that an indus
trial union and the concerted politi
cal action of all wage workers, is the
only method of attaining this end.
6. —Therefore, we, the wage slaves
employed in and around the mines,
mills and smelters of the World, have
associated in the Western Federation
of Miners, Mining Department of the
Industrial Workers of the World.
BOOST TO TEDDY
The railroads are overshooting the
mark in their hostility for Roosevelt.
They are now causing it to be known
that they have bills against Roosevelt
amounting to many thousand, dollars
‘Ifor transportation fur whiskey, for
cigars and other refreshments,”
which bills remain unsatisfied. The
information is iutended to injure the
President’s prestige. It will do the
opposite. The spirit of swagger, that
Roosevelt has introduced, in the po
litical morals of the land, admires the
dead beat,'especially when he, dead
beats a rail road. The assault, gives
Roosevelt’s boom a fresh boost.

PREAMBLE OF
THE I. W. W.
The working class and the employ
ing class have nothing in common.
There can be no peace so long as hun
ger and want are found among mil
lions of working people and the few,
who make up the employing' class, ij
have all the good things of life.
Between these two classes a struggle
must go on until all the toilers come
together on the political as well as on
the industrial field, and take and bold
that which they produce by their
labor thru an economic organization
of the working class, without affilia
tion with any political party.
The rapid gathering of wealth and
the centering of the management of
industries into fewer and fewer hands
make the trades union unable to cope
with the ever growing powor*of the
employing class, because the trades
unions foster a state of things which
allows one set of workers to be pitted
against another set of workers in tb*.
same industry thereby helping defeat
one another in wage wars. The trades
unions aid the employing class to
mislead the workers into the belief i
that the working class have interests
in common with their employers.
These sad conditions can be changed
and the interests of the working class
upheld only by an organization'formed
in such a way that all its meinbers in
any one industry, or in all industries,
if necessary, cease work whenever a
strike or lockout is on in any depart
ment thereof thus making ah 'injury
to one an injury to all.
Therefore, without endorsing or de
siring the endorsement of any poitical
party, we unite under the following:
constitution: ..
