given out the following card: : '
To sta-te mine^s , executive commit- ;
tee—Gentlemen: When I accepted a I
position on the executive board it was ,
with the proviso that uo violence
should be resorted to by the miners in
the pending strike. tc
I agreed to do ail in my power ! j
try and ett'ect an amicable adjustment j
or the differences between tho miners
h.v. to II,i. mt. I aim wmttw |
iy that it Oocoines my duty to tender |
my resignation as a member of your ) j
committee. This action is taken by
reason of the fact that the miners of
Pratt district have seen fit to violate
the order given by your board, time
after time, to adhere to a strict ob¬
servance of the law. I cannot con¬
scientiously condone such offense as
has been committed at Pratt mines,
and do not feel it my duty to remain
on an executive committee whose or¬
ders are violated with impunity.
Respectfully yours, W. Dickinson.
Thos.
Citizens Aroused.
The citizens of Bessemer, to tha
number of 200, in a meeting called
to give expression to public sentiment
relative to the recent disorders, unau-
mously adopted resolutions reciting
the fact of crime becoming more fre¬
quent and of its culmination in the
murders at Pratt mines, and declaring
that the utmost exertion of every good
citizen is demanded to stamp it out.
Endorsing the course of Governor
Jones, they pledged themselves to
meet any demand on their services by
the constituted authorities. They de¬
clare the right of every man to labor
when, where, for whom and at what
wages he pleases, and pledge their
protection to laborers. The following
resolution was received with tumultu¬
ous appiuase:
Resolved, That we do heartily con¬
demn those who, by incendiary
speeches and publications, fan the fires
of discontent and hate and incite
others of less intelligence, but not
moro criminal than themselves, to
deeds of violence.
