The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer.

Beware of\nthe Labor Spies.\nThe mining industry of Colorado\nis not restricted to the production\"\nof silv.er and gold. * The state also\nproduces immense quantities , ot\ncoal. The eoal is bituminous, and\n\"the entire' outfit is practically controlled by three g-reat corpora-\n. tions. The Northern Coal & Coke\nCompany owns the'big mines \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 in\nnorthern Colorado, while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. and Victor\nFuel Co. virtually control this industry in the southern part of the\n, state.\n- At the time of our .story, the relations between miners and operators in the northern coal fields were\n-quite friendly and the conditions\ntolerably good. It was otherwise\nwith the conditions that prevailed,\nin the southern fields, particularly\n' in those Vamps owned by the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n' The miners working for this com-\npany were compelled to labor 12\nhours a shift for wages which\nreally averaged above two dollars\n* a day. They - received their pay\nonce a. month in what is known\n.as script or paper good for ,,its\nface value in exchange for' merchandise only at the Company's\nstores. Thi,s system practically\nprevented the miners from ever accumulating \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 any cash, and placed\n0 them at the mercy of the-com-\n\u00C2\u00B0 pany. These conditions were na-\n' turally obnoxious to the employees, of the Colorado Fuel & Iron\nCo.

The following report of No. 38 is,a good\ndescription of how he and No. 28\nwere introduced to one-,another by\nJohn L. Gehr. ' * ,\namong\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2would,lend \"a\" willing\"ear\nprogram. As the establishing of a\nunion would result in shorter\nhours and'the, abolition of the\nscrip system, the company took\nsteps to stifle in embryo any attempts at organising.\nIn the first place the company\nhired deputy sheriffs, ostensibly\nfor the purpose of patrolling and\nprotecting'.their property, but in\nreality to watch every stranger\nentering the camps, and to order\nhim out of town if found to be a\nunion organiser.\n, This. precaution prevented organisation openly among the coal\nminers. However, a, deputy sheriff could not prevent an agitator\nfrom getting work in some, mine,\nthen secretly talking to and organising, tho men into a union.\nThe company thought of this possibility, and applied tho only remedy; namely, the placing of Fin-\nkerton operatives in somo of their\ncamps as practical coal miners in\nwhich capacity thoy wero in an\nexcellent position to discover the\npresence of a secret organiser and\nreport tho names of all disaffected.\nThe company had one operative\nin Fremont county and another in\nLas Animas county. The former\nwas J. Frank Strong, No. 28; nnd\ntho latter Robert M, Smith, .No.\n38, Both operatives did tho same\nwork, yet neither was acquainted\nwith the other.\nNo. 28, in addition to hisnrogu-\nlar work among tho miners, kept\nspecial watch on John L. Gehr, a\nmember of the National Executive\nBoard of the United Mine Workers\nof America; while No. 38 maintained intimate rolations with\nWilliam Howells, President,\nand John Simpson, secretary of\ndistrict No. 15, comprising tho\nColorado division of the Unitod\nMino Workers.. Thus, through tho\nmodium of operatives Strong and\nSmith, tho coal miners' union\ncould not mako a Ringle move that\nwould not be promptly reported\nto tho company.\nIt onco happened that national\nexecutive board membor Gehr took\na trip to Las Animas county iu\norder to strengthen tho union in\nthat \u00C2\u00A3(,ction, Operative Strong\nwnn very anxlou.i to thwart Mr.\nGohr's plnns, so ho accompanied\nhim to Trinidad, on tho ploa that\nho wanted to help in the good\nwork,\nDear Sir\u00E2\u0080\u0094 \" -\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ',.,,.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2* ^Operative No.'38:reports.\nTrinidad, Colo.,,'Feb. 25,. 1903.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 After ' having\" breakfast Curtis\nand ,1 started, \u00E2\u0096\u00A0> out to hunt 0 oho\n.Uehr'at the irinida-l'hotel'\" where\nhe stays.' we learned -that he had\nnot gotten up yet this morning.\nWe J.nen sat \"around the bar-room\nawhiie, when, as he had not as\nyet shown up;'we went up. to his\nroom','*' and found him awake, butr\nstill in bed.1 - He, however, invited\nus in, and was both surprised and\nglad to see w. Then,, after exchanging ' greetings he got up ,and\ndressed, and invited us- to accompany him to another room where,\nHe said, he wanted to introduce us\nto a iriend. He introduced us to\na Mr. J. Frank Strong, who comes\nfrom Fremont county, and from\nGehr's home local, and was candidate for district secretary against\nSimpson last fall. Gehr, introduced Strong, as his best fmnd. We\ntalked until Strong was dressed,\nwhen we went down into tha barroom where we had drinks, after\nwhich Gehr and Strong, went to\nbreakfast. Curtis and I went up\nto the ' county jail to' see Jim\nRitchie, promising' to meet Gehr\nand Strong, again on our return\nfrom the1 jail.. ..After visiting Ritchie we returned down town, and\nat- ''the Horse Shoe cl-ib we met\nGehr, Strong, Frank Hefferle and\nseveral other men from Majestic.\nWe learned that they were to attend-a trial.. It appears that a\nfellow who is cooking at the\nboarding house at Majestic, got a\nvalentine recently that- did not\nsuit him,, and' he blamed Hefferle\nfor sending it, and told\" Hefferle\nthat if he did not get out of camp\nimmediately, he'- would kill him.\nHefferle had him arrested and-the\ntrial was to take placerto-day and\nthey had sought Gehr's counsel.\nHe-was trying to settle it out of\ncourt,- which I believe he finally\ndid with the assistance of Curtis.\nAt the first opportunity, I began\nto sound Gehr with regard to these\ntwo organisers mentioned in a letter to me; but 'if they are' here he\nwould not let anything out to indicate that he knew anything\nabout it... I did not, howevfer, ask\nhim outright if they were- here;\nbut if they are here, he could 'gain\nnothing- by not telling me. so, so\nT\"wiii\u00E2\u0080\u0094sTrfeiy~fin~dTtheiir-out':\u00E2\u0080\u0094Gen~\nerally, Gehr is as open as a book\non such matters with me, which\nleads me to, believe that if these\norganisers have been ordered here,\nthey have not yet arrived, or at\nleast have not made their presence\nknown to Gehr. However, he did\ntell me that he had been informed\nthat James Kennedy had got a\ncommission, and was going to assume his duties on the first of\nMarch. I can now see that' there\nis going to be a clash of authori:\n,ty wnen Hov/ells returns ' here\nand he and Gehr have exactly opposite views on the system of organisation. Gehr is bitterly opposed to the, group system, and\nHowells thinks it is the only -way\nto organise District No. 15. Gehr\nsaid that whon he c&me down hero\nhe' had not intended to remain\nhere, but had simply intended to\nsee how things were going,.and\nthen' roturn north and go into Wyoming, but he had fovmd the Trinidad local in such a dilapidated'\ncondition that he had 'decided to\nremain horo and try to put it on\nits feet again. He then wont on\nto criticise old Bill Howells- for\nlotting the local go to piccos\"af**er\nho (Gohr) had laid tho foundation\nfor tho best local in tho district, I\nthen asked him if tho national officers had promised anything for\nDistrict No. 15 whilo ho was bank\nthere in attendance nt the convention, He said thoy had not promised him very much, -out ho felt\ntliat whenever ho could convince\nJohn Mitchell that we had restored harmony in District No, 15,\nnnd woro all working together,\nwo could safely oxpoct something\nfrom the National.

Tne\npresident's report was then read\nand dwelt principally upon the\nefforts that had been' put forth\nwithin\" the last year toward the\norganisation of District No. 15,\nand-the almost utter failure of the\nefforts. It also dwelt at some\nlength on the efforts of himself\nand others to get a meeting with\nthe operators of District No. 15,\nto adjust an equitable wage scale,\nand its failure also and he offered\nsome recommendations as to his\nviews with relation to precipitating a strike in District No. 15,\nwhich all present seemed to fully\nconcur in. The sentiments of all\ndelegates present, except Jim Ritchie and John Gehr, are enthusiastically in favor of a strike, and\nthey are anxious to see it declared\nas soon as we get a substantial\npromise from the National that\nwe will be supported. Jim Ritchie offered a resolution to the convention, commending the striking\nminers' at Cripple Creek and'rouna-\nly condemning the Governor and\nSherman Bell.

I might say that I\ndid not And anything in the evidence to prove positively that\nthere wero no cars at the time\nthis' signal was given, although,\nthere was evidence that tended to\nsuggest such a condition. Further\nit appears to me absolutely impossible to roconcilo this contention with the notice in question.\nThe reason given in the notice for\nthe request to the men to remain\nidle was their failure to keep up\nthe output of the mine.

The company, in answer to Mr. Mitchell's request, sent\n-him-this telegram:\nDenver, Oct. 7, 1903\n-1 John Mitchell, Indianapolis, Ind.,-\nAnswering your telegram of yesterday- in Mr. Heam's absence, I\nhave to say that we have not been\nadvised and d'o not believe that\nour 'miners have any desire to\nstrike, as we have always been\n- able to adjust' directly with them\nany differences that exist.\nWe do not. think,your organisation is authorised, to represent our\nminers, as very fsw of them belong\nto it.\no\nIf you,understand the situation\n. as- it really is,' you no doubt ' regard the inciting' of any further\nindustrial disturbances in.

' Welborn.,\nc' -In this.0 -telegram Mr. Welborn\n'gives one the idea that the Color-\n=^ado=Fuel^&-=-Iron=0o.\u00E2\u0080\u0094wQS-r'bsolute-=\n*ly ' ignorant of the do-.\n? ings - of the \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 coal-miners\" un-\n^ion^ and .innocently believed that\n\ihei'r employees really had'no\" cause\n;for,complainti \"Considering ,that:\n'Ythey kept, jealous, ceaseless watch\n;vbn their men, \"openly through' de-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0;'puty ' sheriffs, secretly tiirough\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 '.'Pinlterton, operatives) it would\n'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-seem'-* to \"us ' that the above \"tele-'\ngram* was either a white or black,\nlie.' Regardless\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 of color; the fact\n. remains that' the telegram of the\nfuel-company to'president Mitchiell\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2is a lie, and an insolently worded,\none at that. However,, nowadays.\nbelieve that men will mask themselves aiid beat' their fallow-m&n\ninto insensibility, unless they are\nordered to do so by someone above\ntiiem and paid well i'or their v,ri-\nluinal services? Third, it is impossible' to believe that the leaders of\nthe union hired thugs to hold\nthem up,'and unmercifully beat\nthem. Fourth, there was only one\nway whereby the moves of the\nunion leaders could b\"e accurately\nknown in advance by a-ay outs*..i-\ners, namely, through a leak in the\nunion. Fifth, we itnow that this\nleak was iii the person of the talented Pihkerton Detectective Robert M. Smith. Sixth, as the latter reported exclusively to the agency and-to the Colorado Fuel &\nIron Co,, vlthere can be no doubt\non earth that;the outrages described' were' committed by thugs\nhired expressly for that criminal\nwork by some responsible official\nor officials of the company.\n-People have been condemned -to\ndeath on circumstancial evidence\nfar weaker' than' is ours; and\"-we\ncan'see> no reason why, in the interests -of a common brotherhood,\na cprporation can behave as it\npleases/ when, thousands of bayonets are'at iis command for the\nmere asking.\nBesides, the company actually\nhungered for a .battle. Its position was so secure, and its plans\nfor defence and offence so pertect,\nthat a conflict, particularly during Governor Peabody's administration, could only' end with ig-\nniioiuinous defeat for ,the coal miners,,, and would enable the company to give the latter such a lesson that they would not dare to\nthink of striking a^-ahi for years\nto 'como,\nPresident ;;Mitchell accepted tho\nchallenge implied in the company's\ntelegram and ordered the coal\nminers of Colorado to strike, In\nbrief, the demands oi the miners\nwere, an oiglit hour day, increased\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 wages, payment of wagon in United States money, and tho right\nof, the men to join a union.\nIn the beginning tho strike seemed destined to succeed. Tho do-\nmands of the poor'miners wore Ho\nJust, that thoir r-nuse ought to\nhave wttn on its merits.
