[MINING, LABOR HISTORY, COLORADO]

Criminal Record of the Western Federation of Miners from Coeur d’Alene to Cripple Creek, 1894-1904

Colorado Springs, CO: Colorado Mine Operator's Association, 1904.

First Edition. Softcover. Very good. 32 pp, stapled wrappers Light soiling, handling wear. Written in the midst of the violent Colorado Labor Wars of 1903-04, this pamphlet offers a play-by-play record of several years of bloody conflict, for which it blames the miners’ union, asserting that the Western Federation inflames the minds of its members “against their employers, against the law, against organized society, and against the peace and safety of the public” and supports the overthrow of the Unites States Government and the Constitution.
