The Arizona striking miners defense committee at their mass meeting held in New York August second at Manhattan Lyceum, sixty four East Fourth Street, ask that you exercise your executive power to make industry safe for democracy in Arizona and to punish vicious and inhuman violations of law by the mining interests in that state. We also protest, in the name of humanity and democracy against the foul murder of our fellow worker, Frank Little by assassins of the mining interests in Butte, Montana.John Becker, Chairman
