PENITENTIARY HARMONYTrinidad, Colo.—At meetings of of fieials of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and delegates representing the Rockefeller “union,” held at Rouse and later at Sopris, it was reported that there was not a single complaint of any kind, and that “the men seemed to be entirely satisfied with conditions.” One newspaper gleefully announced: “The fact that the menhave nothing to object to and are inclined to feel that things are working out in good shape is a victory for tin1 Rockefeller plan in all its aspects.”This is the ironical comment of Kditor O'Neill of the Trinidad Free Press:“There is harmony behind the walls of a penitentiary, and there are few complaints or protests in institutions where men wear tlie stripes of the convict.“There was harmony at Rouse and Sopris. but it was the harmony of tin* slave who is powerless to rebel until he and his associates come together under the flag of real unionism and into the sanctuary of the labor movement, where that democracy prevails which clothes every member with the right and authority to express his honest convict ions.”
