The Weekly Report of the Secretary,
Coal Miners’ Headquarters op 1
Colorado, New Mexico, Wyo- [•
mino and Utah. J
The situation oi affairs is Bomewhat
the same as at my last writing. The
operators are seriously waiting the de
cision of Mr. Clark of tne Union Coal
company upon the questi on of co-operat
ing to maintain living prices, and when
this matter is satisfactorily and finally
settled I shall feel very much relieved.
1 Several' mines have been closed by
reason of no trade and several hundreds
of oar men are out of employment The
mines that are running ire doing very
lUtle work, and sea consequence the
men have to live on little pay. The
Union Coal company are doing about
the best. They are of course large con
sumers as well as large producers, but
their producing capacity is far in excess
of their needs. They have closed down
one of their mines at Coroo, and another
at Rock Springs, and there ire rumors
that we are going to have further stop
pages. The intention of the company
to import Chinese into Carbon is looked
upon as certain, aod it is equally cer
tain that if they do. trouble will ensue.
I trust the good sense of the officials of
the company will lie directed in main
taining the confidence of the men, and
preserving the harmonious relations that
have for some time existed. This can
only be done by abandoning the idea
and scheme of introducing Chinese labor
into Carbon mines. To bring this ele
ment into immediate!competition with
us will be to invite a state of affairs
that will be deplorable! It cannot be
tolerated upon any ground !
While they claim they have a legal
right to employ whom they think proper,
such a claim from a moral or humani
tarian standpoint is not admissible.
There is not a feature of justice in creat
ing conditions of business that ulti
mately must result in impoverishing the
million in order to satisfy the inhuman
greed of Jay Gould & Co. Riches gained
by such means, and the millions drawn
from honest toil \by such a damnable
process cannot be said to be other than
blood money! Hellish in conception
is the idea that legal rights knows no
human restraint. And the man that
practices and looks upon this question
of coolie labor as a matter only of dimes
and dollars to capitalists, without in
quiring into the human and social as
pect and considering the demoralizing
influences which will be brought against
the white race, is a stranger to the doc
trine of civjl rights’and has no sympathy
for his own people. While Ido not pro
pose to enter into a discussion of this
question right here, I do want it to be
understood by this company that our
stand upon this question will be un
flinchingly held ! Give me every nation
ality on the face of the earth, but keep
at a respectful distance the coolies.
Death would be p referable to a life on a
level with those people, and in saying
go I am echoing the sentiment of every
sou of- toil that delves in the bowels of
the earth. Will have more to say on
this pressing and vital subject when the
intentions of the company comes a little
more to light.
The work of organizing is going on in
good shape. Highly encouraging are
the reports from all quarters in this re
spect lam not satisfied that it will be
wise to give the details ot those reports
just now to the public, and for that
reason they are withheld. Our constit
uents can rest assured that we are not
asleep or indifferent as to the future.
The inter-state |or territorial conven
tion, to be held in this city the 28th,
promises to be a grand success. It will
be an immense representative body.
Every assembly and labor organization
that has not received our circulars, by
reason of not having the address to reach
them, or any other cause, will consider
themselves appealed to in this report.
Redactions and rumors of reductions
on every hand and it is time we effect
a thorough federation and concentration
of power.
■ From the statistical reports received
from all quarters I learn the sentiment
in favor of the eight-hour system to be
unanimous; and it is suggested that the
Conciliation Board should appoint a day
when the Bystem shall go into effect. I
would urge every assembly to discuss
the question thoroughly and forward me
their views in the shape of a resolution.
My congratulations to George Washing
ton assembly for being the first to come
to the front in this miich desired move
ment.
The eight-hou> system will be a sub
ject for discussion and action at the
forthcoming convention. In order that
the movement may become practicable
it will have to be unanimous in its adop
tion, and extensive in its operation.
It has come to my ears from good
authority that Mr. Danforth of the Colo
rado Coal & Iron company is still plot
ting and making further preparations to
down the Knights of Labor. The com
pany has lost an immense pile of money
through this man’s mismanagement and
lack of common sense; and it would be
a blessing to the community if the com
pany saw the felly of his manner in con
ducting rfaeir affairs. The experiment
of downing the Knights of Labor will
cost him some fun, and his cherished
hope can neve r be realized any more.
Our Coal Creek brethren are men of un
daunted courage, and if trampled upon
too heavily will resent the insult in,
spite of circumstanced.
Yours truly, John L. Lkwib.

Wm City, Kansas. March 30. -One of
the grandest demonstrations of Weir
City miners occurred here on Sstordsy,
March twenty-eighth, that has eyer been
in this district, to welcome an agent of
the-Coal Miners’ Amalgamation from
Colorado into onr midst. Notices
posted in the city that Mr. William Bea
man, from Colorado, would lecture, on
the qneetion of the day in the City hall.
The miners were all idle, and met at the
school house, at which place they formed
and paraded the streets, led by the
White cornet brass band, the parade
ending at the City hall. The band dis
coursed some splendid music at the hall
entrance, after which the hall was filled
almost to suffocation. The committee
of each bank sat npon the platform.
George Foulton, Jr., occupied the chair;
Thomas McGregor, secretary. The chair
man called the meeting to order and re
quested the secretary to read a commu
nication from John L. Lewis, executive
secretary. The chairman then called on
Mr. Beaman to address the meeting,
who was received with cheers. When
the applause subsided he explained that
in a concentration of the moral and in
tellectual powers of all trades and voca
tions lies the salvation of those who earn
their bread by the sweat of tbeir brows,
also the advantages of organization. He
also depicted the diabolical schemes and
inhuman conduct of A. H. Danforth of
the Colorado Coal and Iron company.
He explained the condition of the men
of the Colorado Coal and Iron company,
and told a mournful tale about several
men who had been victimized, and im
prisoned because' they dared to speak
out for that which justly belongs to
them. He showed how thev suffered at
the hands of tjie sheriff, who furnished
the imprisoned men with covering in
fected with contagious disease. In
closing his remarks he appealed to the
workingmen to consider well what he
had said.
A vote was taken as to whether the
miners of Weir City favored the move
ment of the executive board of Colorado.
All favored the movement and promised
to do all in their power to forward the
same. A vote of thanks was tendered
to the band aqd the speaker after which
the meeting closed.
Thomas McGregor, Secretary.
Legislative Report.
The penitentiary bi'l, No. 117; passed
the senate by a vote of 15 to 8. Those
voting aye were Senators —
Archuleta, Bostwick* Eddy, Elkins,
Galloway, Hall, Howbart, Moynahan,
Rising, Salazar, Stevenson, Stead, Ted
mon, Waters.
Those voting no were Senators—
Cornish, Howard, Green, Lee, Parsons,
Tilford, Wells, Woodworth.^
The bill, however, was killed in the
house by a vote of 29 to 14. The motion
was to indefinitely postpone its further
consideration. The ayes and nays were
as follows:
Ayes—Barker, Bradley, Buckley,
Clark, Cohen, Davidson, De Mary, Dick
son, Dormer, Ewing, Gilmore, Hughes.
Hunter, Jones, Kohn, Newell, O’Driscoll,
Pence, Pike, Porter, Pratt, Prince,
Quillian, Rathvon, Rollins, Sopris,
Taylor, Wildeboor, Mr. Speaker—3l.
Nays—Ashley, Bergh, CarstarDhen,
Chacon, Chapman, Evans, Eerguson,
Hinman, Kelly, Lewis, McCormick,
McFie, Patton, Stirman—l4.
Mr. Hughes voted aye in order to be
able to move a reconsideration. It was
so moved and the motion was immedi
ately laid on the table. That kills the
bill for this session. Before the vote on
the postponement was announced
Messrs. Fergnson and Bergh changed
their votes from nay to aye, which made
the final vote 31 to 12. c
House bill No. 164 was also killed in
the house. Upon motion of Mr.
Ferguson, seconded by Mr. Hughes, it
was indefinitely postponed.
The legislative committee of the
Trades Assembly, fearing that the busi
ness men who so vigorously fought house
bill No. 29, to exempt SIOO of the earn
ings of the head of a family from attach
ment, would induce the governor not to
sign it, called on him in regard to the
matter. He, in their presence signed it,
and remarked that it was a just measure,
and he was but too anxious to have an
opportunity to aid in making it a law.
Nothing further has been done with
the measures that the wage workers are
so much interested in.
Grand Hop.
The ladies of Hope assembly No. 33H
have decided to hold their grand ball in
Lincjln hall, on Larimer between Four
teenth and Fifteenth, on the evening of
the ninth instant. They certainly de
serve onr patronage, and we shall be dis
appointed if they do not receive it
Every brother should attend and take
his lady along. A good time is antici
pated and the ladies will endeavor to
make every one feel happy. They are a
credit to our order,.and all that can be
done to help and encourage them on
ward shduld be done. Tickets of admis
sion are only 50 cents each, and can be
had from any member of the assembly.
Make up your minds to participate in
the evening’s pleasure.
“Cato” to “Zeno,”
For the Enquirer.
“Zeno” does not seem to like it because
I have not thought best to enter into a
personal controversy with him, through
the columns of The Enquirer, as to the
relative merits of State Socialism and
Anarchism. I wish to sav now, once for
all, that I do not consider such petty
wrangling as conducive either to the
general welfare of The Enquirer, or for
the good of the cause which we both,
though in different ways, represent and
seek to advance. The readers of this
paper are not, and cannot be, interested
in a dispute of such a character, and the
discussion will not tend to dispel any of
the doubt and uncertainty which pre
vails among earnest investigators as to
the methods of dealing with these knotty
questions. I have not slighted anv of
the arguments advanced by “Zeno,” in
my replies, and If I have chosen to make
each replies more in a didactic way,
while ignoring the individual, I have
done so with the best of motives: be
cause I thought, and still earnestly be
lieve that such a method of dealing with
the Bnbject is more satisfactory to the
readers of The Enquirer, and because'
an article written in that way, treating
on a vital subject, is much more attrac
tive, and less likely to be acrimonious,
and therefore offensive.
The editor will bear me witness that,
in a former article which appeared in
The Enquirer over the signature of “H”
—but which by the way, left my hands
signed'^Cato—” I took up several points
referred to by “Zeno” and answered
them in a personal way, using the name
of “Zeno” qnite freely in my replies. I
however, in a private note to the editor,
left it to his judgment as to whether this
part of the article should be printed or
not, but told him I preferred that be
would eliminate such personal references
from the article, which he did, thereby
showing his good sense; and apprecia
tion of .my wishes not to make the mat
ter a mere personal dispute.
•
Another thing: when people indulge In
these disputes thev are apt to take un
fair advantage of each other, to lose
sight of the main idea and to fall back
upon technicalities, and to resort to trick
ery ; the object being not so much to dis
cuss principles and educate the people as
to gain their respective points. “Zeno”
has several times taken advantage of a
mere ungrammatical expression, a contra
dictory, or mis-statement of terms, and
such small matters, when answering his
several critics, and has often shown a
disposition to ignore the main question
under consideration. Indeed, we are all
prone to do this in personal discussion,
for we do not like to be worsted in an
argument, and too frequently make use
of lawyer-like tricks to carry onr case.
Now what we want to discuss is not
whether “Zeno” or “Cato” made a mis
take in stating so and so, or used such
and such an expression, or put this or
that word in the wrong place. It is im
material whether I said in one place that
a peaceable solution of the problem is
desirable; and in another place that the
State Socialists are &tupid because they
believe a peaceable solution possible, etc.
etc. We do not want to discuss the rel
ative difference between tweedle dee and
tweedie dum, or anything of the kind.
We are none of us very learned, perhaps
none of us can be called masters of
rhetoric and composition. We are all
liable to mane mistakes, and even con
tradictions. The great idea ever to be
borne in mind should be the advance
ment of the cause of—human progression,
(I had almost said Socialism, but fear
there might be objections, as “Zeno"
does not seem to consider me a Social
ist.) What we want is the truth, no
matter where it leads us, whether into
materialism, spiritualism, fatalism or
messianism ; let us have truth, though
the heavens fall.
We are, iji our small way, educators of
the people; we are teachers as well as
students. Shall we then consume our
own time, as well as that of the people
whom we seek to benefit by engaging in
personal wrangles as to the merits of the
different methods of overthrowing the
system which we all alike condemn and
hate? Shall we waste our precious time
in discussing whether dynamite should
be used in disintegrating an hypothesis,
or in blowing up Jay Gould or any other
product of the system ? Pardon me, I
had rather be excused. My time is too
valuable to waste in any such manner,
What time I have to spare I shall use in
efforts to spread the gospel of discontent.
I want people to know that they are rob
bed not only of the product of their
labor but of liberty, of reason, of health.
I want people to k now that they do not
half live, that under the present systems
real enjoyment of life is an utter impos
sibility. I want the merchant to realize
that he is forced to prostitute all the bet
ter nature within him in order to suc
cessfully carry on his business; that he
cannot succeed without recourse to
knavery and all manner of meanness. I
want the lawyer and professional man to
realize that they are supporting a system
that forces them to live upon the ills and
distress of their neighbors. I want the
laborer to understand that he is systemat
ically robbed of .five-eighths of all that
he produces; that under the competitive
and wage system there is an inexorable
law which prevents him from receiving
more than barely sufficient to keep him
alive. I wan t the capitalist, the politi
tion, and the army of office holders to
know that they aie corner ston6s of this
iniquitous system, and I want them to
know that there is a smouldering f urnace
beneath them, which, at no distant day,
will burst forth into a volcano of wrath,
and utterly sweep their privileges and
their infamous system from the face of
the earth. And I want to add what I
can to this fire of discontent. I want to
feel that everyoody hates this state of
things as bad as I do, and that they are
willing to make some sacrifices, if neces
sary, to help along the cause. I want to
see the barriers removed; to see laws and
statutes repealed; the offices abolished,
and to see the present institntions,
social, industrial and political, utterly
swept away. Ido not want to see any
thing pat in itd place. I want to see a
free society; I want to know by experi
ence what libertv means; I w ant these
things for myself if possible, b ut if not
then I shall do all in my power to make
it possible for those who come after me
to enjoy them. i .
lam n ot a reformer, in the general ac
ceptance of that much abased term. I
am no iconoclast. Will “Zeno” assert
that there is not as mach need for the
iconoclast as for the reformer? He evi
dently expects that we should all he re
formers, bat he asks too much, aod he
ignores the fact that one is as mach a
production of the present system as the
other. If there were no abases to mend,
THB LABOR ENQUIRER.
no injustice, no safforing limn man’s in
humanity, what need would there be
then for either the iconoclast or the re
former? It ia became we naffer that we
seek a war oat of oar misery. It is be
cause injustice prevails that we cry oat
for justice. The present system we say
is bad and most be abolished. Very
good; but if the present system were not
bad we should not say it most be abol
ished, and we should not work so hard
for its destruction. There would be no
necessity for either the iconoclast or the
reformer; therefore it is right that the
present system is bad; because this
makes it impossible for us to realize that
there can be something better. How
does “Zeno” like the syllogism ? 4
The law of causation does ignore indi
viduals. Whether “Zeno” likes it or not
he is a creature of that law. Whether
he believes it or not he is obliged to suc
cumb to its mandates. He cannot escape
it do what he will. Yes, “Zeno,” the
same law which causes the earth to open
and swallow thousands ot human beings,
produces the battle in which multitudes
are Blain. It is the same law which
sinks the ship in mid-ocean, which pro
duces the cause of human misery and
woe on the one hand and raises up the
iconoclasts and reformers, to remove
these causes, on the other. Remember
this “Zeno”: the little child been
compelled to work at the loom and
the consumptive sewing woman been
obliged to gasp over her fire at midnight,
there would have been no work for you
and Ito do. We could not have had
iconoclasts had there been nothing that
needed destroying, nor reformers if there
had been nothing to reform. Remem
ber, I am not saying that all this is right;
I am not discussing the justice or injus
tice of this law; I am only pointing out
its existence, and that we c£nnot escape
from its workings if we would.
One thing more and I am done.
“Zeno” asks: “Can you blow up a sys
tem?” Yes, “Zeno,” we can. Every
dynamite explosion having for its object
the removal of despotism, every bomb
thrown which carries terror to the
hearts of the people’s oppressors, and
which destroys even the smallest portion
of the machinery of oppression, whether
it be in the shape of men, or buildings,
or mines, is a nail driven into the coffin
of the old system. How manv such ex
plosions like the one that recently oc
cured in London do you suppose this
old rotten syste.n will stand? Is it not
true that the reverberations of those
explosions reached round the world?
Why; people who have never given
the subject a moments thought are
now asking themselves what it all
means. The agitation resulting from
that scare has been almost without par
allel in the history of' the movement.
Has “Zeno” forgotten the “Social Cul
ture Club,” and the stirring up of the
silk-sEockings there? And that was a
direct result of the London”explosions,
and but«ne of many such scenes result
ing from the same cause. I am perhaps
impatient. I long to see the cause tri
umph all over the world, and for this
reason I would like to hear of the explo
sion of a bomb, and the consequent re
moval of a tyrant or his works every
week.
Every such concussion would be to me
a knell of the tottering and dying sys
tem, and the sweetest music in the
world. Cato.
Hard Tines and the Remedy.
[San Francisco Dally Report.]
Editor Report.
Will you permit a scientific Socialist
to give, in one paragraph, the cause of
“hard times,” and in another the only
scientific remedy therefor ? This is
certainly more than the Manufacturers’
Association, the Board of Trade and the
Chamber of Commerce, can do in three
volumes each in a year. Weoughtnotto
expect anything of them; scientific teach
ers of fossils, not fossils of science.
The cause of hard times is this: Want
of money among the people; want of
money because of want of work; want of
work because of so-called “over-produc
tion.” According to the United States
census of 1880 each wealth proaucer cre
ates annually SI,OOO worth of value, for
which he receives in return but $346.04.
'but after being a producer he becomes a
consumer of the very goods he creates.
He is not allowed (employed) to produce
more until those already created are
consumed. But he can only consume
what he can buy—the $346 worth.
Hence not over-production but un
der-payment is the cause of hard times
now, and is the root of the gigantic and
growing evils of panics, crises, riots and
revolution. Those who get the balance
of that SI,OOO are what we Socialists term
the bourgeois or the loafing classes.
Those who should get it are the pro
ducers, the plundered slaves.
The only scientific remedy is that he
who will not work neither shall he eat.
The loafing classes must go to work.
The only means to secure this is the es
tablishment of a scientific system of gov
ernmental co operation.
If you publish this, take the crown as
the first capitalistic journal in America
which, has dared to allow a statement of
the whole truth regarding the “labor
question” to appear in its columns.
With every assurance of the most dis
tinguished contempt for the shams that
modern “civilization” imposes upon it
self, I remain, Very truly yours,
Ashtobexh.
“SOCIALIST OUTBREAK.”
Tlie Rev. Duncan MacGregor Reads a
Paper at the Meeting of the
Baptist Ministers.
Chicago News.
At the regular weekly meeting of the Bap
tist ministers tne Rev. Duncan MacGregor
presented a paper upon “Socialist Out
breaks.” He said the age is volcanic. Forces,
molten in the flame of human wrath, and
set on fire by the accumulated wrongs of
many generations, are now leaping forth to
spread ruin and terror. The world intensi
fies; good grows better, evil grows worse.
Virtues are often made the vehicles of vice.
The dynamite that quarries a rock quashes
an emperor. Goths and vandals have risen
from the dead to shatter gothic cathedrals
and 1 to endanger modern civilization. Among
the [most perilous facts of this age we name
Socialism, which, in the minds of many,
gathers to itself all that class of people who,
being disgusted with society, seek to change
it by violent means. Those people who, not
belay satisfied with the normal growth of the
organism, would, if necessary, pluck it up
by the roots, and, having given it a body to
please themselves, would it into
a new soil. From this point of view Social
ists, Nithilists, and Communists are all
placed in the same .category. We ought in
fairness, however, to make a clear distinction.
The Nihilist is a destroyer, tpe Socialist a
leveller. The Socialist puts his faith.in the
state; the Nihilist declares the state to be ut
terly rotten and seeks to clear it away as an
incumbrance. He despises the Socialist and
halif-nearted, while the Socialist calls him an
Anarchist. They unite in seeking a new
condition of society. Ail of the Nihilist!
and some ot the Socialists would use vio
lence.
Recent events have shown that the agita
tors are prepared for the most ruthless bar
barity. They hope to secure their ends by
lawless violence, but the destruction of pub
lic buildings only arouses the indignation of
right-thinking men against them. At the
same time there can be no question but that
the demands of the Socialists call for some
attention. Recent ontbnrsts in the most un
looked-for quarter have drawn public atten
tion more than ever to all kinds of agitation.
France will probably soon have another ex
plosion. Switzerland was thought to be safe,
but, for the first time in its history, the fed
eral palace at Berne is placed under the
guard of armed men. The dastardly outrage
in the English house of parliament is fresh
in the memory of all, and threats are being
made that even American public buildings
are no longer safe. The peril is a real one.
If the French revolution was the bonfire of
feudalism, a Russian and German revolution
may become the bonfire of imperialism, and
an American revolution may yet become the
bonfire of capitalism. The howling af a New
York mob before the house of a notorious
capitalist means much.
How are these things to be met? One says
preach the gospel, and the answer is a good
one: But the gospel has not yet kept back
ttie destruction’ of any nation. Our social
disorders have a cause, and it is wise, in
stead of holding up our trends in pious hor
ror, to ask what is the cause and how can ws
remove it? In Russia each man of 100,000,-
000 san be murdered at the word of a tyrant.
The press is gagged. There is no public
meeting. The clergy are often the tools of
the government, and the government is only
an organized despotism. What other means
have the Russians of securing freedom than
secret societies ?
We never can judge a man truly until we
put; ourselves in his place. The dynamite
fiend is terrible in its uproar, but the dynasty
fiend Is not less terrible in its silence. In
Germany Socialism has not yet become Nihi
lism, but Socialism itself is there often allied
to Anarchy. Among many other causes of
Socialism two stand out prominently. First,
the; central force needed to wield the nation
into a unity, is now pressing heavily on the
nation as monopolistic tyranny. Second,
public education in Germany has, at least
till recently, been education void of charac
ter. The intellect has been devoloped but
tha character has not been trained to good
ness. Social disorders are not reoressed;
they must be cured by removing the cause.
Thus far America has been largely free
from the outbreaks, but her day will come.
Anarchists are allowed publicly to advocate
the destruction of the constitution and the
murder of capitalists. The froth of their
SDeech is that of madness on the jaws of
dogs.
Why does Socialism flourish in America?
We answer, for three reasons: Capitalism,
a protective tariff, and immigration. Huge
stales are being given up and private owner
ship of land Is being fully acknowledged.
Soon the land Jaws of America will be on a
par with those of Europe. The protective
tariff is a social blunder, if not a crime.
When free trade is declared the nation will
have more freedom from Socialism. Social
ism is against both revelation and evolution.
Socialism says:“ Man is good by nature and
made bad by condition.” The bible says:
“Man is fallen, and his surroundings will
never change his heart.” Socialists should
seriously ponder the fact thaf they are drift
ing away from faith in a personal God, which
is the greatest calamity on earth. At the
close of the paper it was generally discussed.

West Denver Cheap Store,
288 LARIMER STREET.
In a time like this, when everybody adver
tises, we will do so too; but we don’t propose
to give baits like some of our competitors,
nor can we talk such sweet language.
We can sell no Lonsdale muslin for 8 cents,
and If anybody advertises It for 8 cents, it Is a
bait to make people believe he Is selling his
goods cheap, but in reality he intends, by ad
vertising such a popular article as muslin at
such low figures, to ensnare his customers.
We sell Lonsdale muslin at 16 cents.
Fruit of the Loom at 10 cents.
Our hosiery we don't need to mention, as It
is known In West Denver that we carry
better goods and sell them cheaper than any
of the other stores In that or any other
location.
Oue embroideries, this season's goods, have
not come In yet. They will be here on the
fifth or sixth of this month.
French, all wool Cashmere, we don’t sell a
cent less than what it Is worth.
