Sheldon of Kansas, in an article In the Den ver News on the Cblorado strike situation, reaches some remarka ble Conclusions, which may be briefly summed up as follows: The miners struck without just cause: they had no right to strike because they have money in the banks and live well; they even eat “the most expensive cuts of meat” and “high priced fruits and vegetables.” Practically every act of violence has been committed by union men. Most of the men deported were men without moral standing in 1 the community. The mine owners are angels; the j union miners are murderous dev- j ils. The leadership of the Western Federation is "unwise, arrogant and unauthorized.” Unionism is dead in the Cripple Creek district. OUC1UUU Will UC ICU1CUJUWJVU the sensational “minister” who a few years ago was placed in charge of the Topeka Capital for a week to run the paper “as Christ would run it.” As a grafting scheme it proved a great success and the "reverend” gentleman lined his pockets with several thousands of ill gotten coin. Af terward he very fittingly dropped completely out of sight and his very existence was probably un known to any but himself until now, when he comes forward and attempts to again gain prominence by telling what he thinks he knows of conditions in Colorado. It is safe to say that no more perverted statement of the Colo rado stride and* existing iponditions has uvbt.cu n It would al so L r 1 aious to give it serious j cons..'- a on. '"MB thf-fur* that the * r stamps himself as a fool or a knave in nearly every ; line of bis article—especially where be says that the miners had no right to stride because they lyere too well fed and had money in the banks, this being a fair sam ple of the argument which he ^ses against them. On the other hand, in the same issue of the News, an article from the pen of William English Wall ing is published. Mr. Walling is not a fake gospel expounder, but is a resident of' Denver and a close student of industrial conditions in • • r ti ■ < i i Colorado. He says that the Colorad< strikes have not been lawless but on the contrary are among the most peaceful ever known, this ijeing the opinion of the impartial citizens of the State and of the investigators who have gone to the field, “Rev.'’ Sheldon except ed, by the way. Mr. Walling States that it is a war against unionism and striking is being prosecuted as a crime. He cites the case of a man named Davis,' a member of the Miners’ Union Executive (bomraittee at Cripple Creek wSo was arrested' and held j Several months without trial. When finally brought into court the prosecuting attorney admitted that he bad no'evidence whatever against him. In 'the 'meantime Davis’, wife, in constant fear ot her husband's life, gave prema ture birth to a child and both have since died, Mr. W’alliog says that there have been no acts of lawlessness proved against the Miners’_ Union since the strike began and that there have bAe'ti nh'mobs add no , riots except \hose of the Citiaens’ Alliancei’A^ith?? <hf Iteration or its officers bate been ‘codvicted of any of the innumerable' offenses | with which they have been’Charg ed. He concludes as* f<Jll6Ats: “At an enormbus expense the unions have been driven from the | principal mines add staeltCfS of the State. There is dot” a * onion outside the niines that has failed to suffer from the’ tamers”' defeat. But the union feelidg hitttr add the union spirit unbfoked. They feel they are fighting a battlet for j all the unions of the country, and they know that no cause has eve/ jl k ■ received such a powerful and united support from the working people.” The above are fhir statements of the views of “Rev.” Charles M. Sheldon and Williatn English Walling on the Colorado situation. Both sides of the case are given. Is there any question which should be believed — the mountebank minister from Kansas, or the resi dent of Colorado, an observer and student of conditions in that State, who should certainly know where of he speaks? SAN FRANCISCO KNOCKERS. The San Francisco “knocking” contingent seems to be hammer ing Goldfield as it did Tonopah in the early days of that camp. But there is always the consolation that it makes no difference. To nopah suffered very little from the efforts of the San Francisco knockers to injure the camp and Goldfield will not be affected in the least. The mines are here and they will answer for them selves. San Francisco’s aid is not needed, nor that of any other place for that matter. In the meantime Eastern people are tak ing advantage of the opportuni ties which Goldfield offers for profitable investment and they will make money while the long eared San Franciscans lay back their aural appendages and try to bray down the biggest and richest gold camp on earth. It’s amusing now and will be more so when they commence falling over each other in their effort to get in on the good things of Goldfield. And this time will not be very long in coming, either. Tbe influx pf investors, mining men and those looking for busi ness locations and opportunities continues, bnt tbe migration hith erward is slight to what it will be when the blockade is fully raised Goldfield is today a magnet which is drawing people from all parts of the United States. One would be rash to hazard a prediction of the town’s population by the end of the year. The government is t9 hold a civil service examination in Reno for the position of female artist in tire Bureau of Forestry. There ire . number of dusty daughters of the desert around these dig ging - w 10 ought to be eligibles. Tt.e' certainly artists in the line of facial adornment and they don't use drug store paint, either. The Denver Mining Record is sued an exceptionally fine special edition devoted to the Mining Congress. The Record gives a great deal of attention to the mines of Goldfield and is doing a good work in the way of helping to advertise this camp. Wesley Paul of Salt Lake City announces the publication of a book entitled: “Mines and min ing in Tonopah and Goldfield.’’ It is to be illustrated with half tone engravings of the twp camps. A Query.
