PRELIMINARY BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COLORADO HISTORY II 3 



of 1904 advanced, Current Literature, Vol. XXXVI, pp. 482-484, 

 called attention to the attempt at an ending of martial law while " G," 

 writing to the Outlook, Vol. LXXVII, pp. 2i*-22,* commented upon 

 the arbitrary assumption of powers as well by the state authorities 

 as by the leaders of the Western Federation. The terrible disaster 

 at Independence station produced paragraphs in the Outlook, Vol. 

 LXXVII, pp. 384-385, and in Current Literature, Vol. XXXVII, 

 pp. 3-5. The deportations of miners follomng close upon this dis- 

 aster created what Current Literature Vol. XXXVII, pp. 104-106, 

 characterized as a "carnival of crime," in which. Vol. XXXVI, pp. 594- 

 596, both sides were largely to blame — a conclusion with which the 

 Outlook, Vol. LXXVII, pp. 394-396, agreed. Current Literature 

 suggested a httle later, Vol. XXXVII, pp. 303-305, the possibihty 

 of federal intervention in Colorado. A sociahstic view of the strike 

 is to be found in Wiltshire's Magazine, May, 1904, pp. 219-224, by 

 Henry O. Morris, under the title "The Conspiracy against Labor in 

 Colorado." It is accompanied by editorials on the "Mine Owners' 

 Infamous Purpose." On the other side is "The Supremacy of Law," 

 by Wilham M. Raine, in the Reader Magazine, Vol. IV, pp. 399-409, 

 September, 1904. These paragraphs and editorials by no means 

 comprise the whole output upon the strike. All the weekly papers 

 give some attention to it. 



The proportions which the strike came to assume in its constitu- 

 tional bearings ultimately produced three important missions to Col- 

 orado. The brilliant report of Ray Stannard Baker on "The Reign of 

 Lawlessness, Anarchy, and Crime in Colorado" appears in McClure's 

 Magazine, Vol. XXIII, pp. 43-57, May, 1904. The Rev. Washington 

 Gladden made a simihar report for a syndicate of newspapers begin- 

 ning with the Columbus Press Post, and appearing, among others, in the 

 Denver Times, for April 22 and 23, 1904. It is worthy of note that the 

 Denver Republican did not consider these letters worthy of any consider- 

 able mention. The third special report was by Wilham Enghsh Wall- 

 ing, a resident of the New York University Settlement, and appeared in 

 the Independent, Vol. LVI, pp. 539-548, March 10, 1904, with the title 

 " The Great Cripple Creek Strike. "
