W. D. Haywood secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, with a party including EB Brake and Mrs. Charles H. Moyer, passed through Cheyenne en route from Boise to Denver. He denied being dropped as secretary, said he took a leave of absence to tour for the Federation, and discussed plans to address workers and pursue political organizing. The group noted Pettibone acquittal and described Pinkerton presence. Haywood blamed wage cuts on mine owners, defended the Federation, and said he would tour to organize labor nationwide.
