: "
Early
Monday
morning
,
June
6
, a
dynamite
bomb
was
exploded
under
the
platform
of the
railroad
station
at
Independence
,
Colorado
,
hurling
fourteen
non-union
miners
to a
frightful
death
and
seriously
injuring
six
. The
explosion
was
directed
by a
wire
which
reached
to a
distant
building
where
the
assassin
crouched
. The
mine
owners
and
prominent
citizens
at
once
held
a
meeting
and
organized
a
vigilance
committee
.
While
the
Miners
'
Federation
was
first
to
disavow
and
deplore
the
dynamite
plot
, the
event
has
aroused
the
greatest
public
indignation
, and
coming
as
it
does
on the
threshold
of a
Presidential
campaign
, this
Colorado
affair
is
likely
to be
turned
and
twisted
to
subserve
opposing
interests.
