Agent Palmer reports on a pamphlet with information about the deportation of non-union miners by the union, most likely referring to the Western Federation of Miners. Elmer Ellsworth Rittenhouse, the author of the pamphlet, says that he took care to ensure the accuracy of the information since the pamphlet will be used for campaign purposes. Rittenhouse believes that the strike at Cripple Creek “had no connection with the eight-hour question.” James C. Craig, the president of the Citizens’ Alliance, says that there are no records of any deportations of non-union men that are not mentioned in the pamphlet.
