"and the sooner this point is clearly
established, the better it will be tor
the future of our cause. Dual organ-
izatlona divide the workers and cause
them to spend their energies in fight-
ing each other inatead of combating
the common -enemy."
Mr. Hayes added that he hoped the
seceding miners in West Virginia
* would soon return to the organize
tion.
Much space was devoted by Mr.
Hayes to the strike in Colorado. He
explained the efforts of President Wil-
son to end the strike and the refusal
of the Colorado coal operators to rec
ognize the commission, composed of
Seth Low, of New York; Charles W.
Mills of Philadelphia, and Patrick Gll-
day. of Clearfield, Pa., named to ef
feet a settlement-. After the failure of
thia effort, he said, the international
executive board of miners, consider-
ing the entire strike situation and the
weakened - financial condition of the
international organization, authorized
the calling of a convention in Denver.
This meeting decided to terminate the
strike on Dec. 10, 1914. He referred
to the'strike as "one of the greatest
conflicts ever waged by any body qf
workers on this continent ”
The vice president recalled that, al
though the strike was ended. John R.
Lawson, David Robb, Ben Richardson
. and Louts „Zancanellli were prosecut
ed, but that their cases had not been
ultimately decided.
"It semed to be the purpose of the
operators, when the strike was con-
cluded,” Mr.- Hayes continued, "to
railroad as many of our men to the
penitentiary as possible and, after the
( terminatig > of the strike, scohe of
— our people were Indicted by grand
juried in sympathy with the coal op-
erators; several notorious gunmen
and guards sitting iu judgment pon
our people. This action of the civil
authoritiek waa a travesty on justic
and a disgrace to the state of Colors
do. In confirmation of this view, let
me say that not one single mine guard
has ever been brought to justice for
the murder of our people.’* I regret to
. L c. chronicle that 28 of our men, women
and children lost their lives at the*
l hands of the mine guards and subsid-
ized militiamen during the Colorado
strike and yet no one haa ever been
indicted or tried for these murders."
. Mr. Hayes predicted that out of the
struggle in Colorado will ome a bet-
ter day for the men in the mines of
that state. No strike is ever lost, he
said, and, although the miners were
forced to retreat, they recognise no
. surrender and will fight on until their,

tight vote in the rural boxes ware not
fuiniled. In practically every case,
the anti Vote was stronger in the
.out of town boxes than in the ear-
tier electon, but this wsmore than
ofset bx the efforts of the Wichita L >
lalla workers; these had set
votes as their mark and they fell
short but seventeen votes. /
Outside of Wichita Falls only 60
votes were" registered for the bonds,
but this is a better showing than
that of November 20 when the out
of town vote for the bonds was only
36. On the other hand, the five Wich-
ita Falls boxes gave only 104 voten
against the bonds, while-there were -

. Preponderance of Sentiment,
The- preponderance of anti senti-
ment outside the city is as temark-
able as the preponderance of senti-
ment for the bonds among the city
voters.' The bonds did not get
"white washed” at any of the boxes
thia time, receiving at least one vote.
At Cushion there was one vote for
the bonds to 49 against, it was stat-

The'vice president said that al-
though the work of organization in

the present a total of 162 locale in

there was no reason for the dissension,
