Monday, March 16, 1913,
Denver, Colorado-Big Bill Haywood had a few choice words this morning for Charles MacNeill, the general manager of the Standard mill who stormed out of negotiations early yesterday morning. "He has never in his life spoken to a working man except to give orders." Big Bill called MacNeill "a wretched little autocrat," and stated further, "MacNeill thinks he is above his employees." Haywood vowed that the Western Federation of Miners was not yet done with Charles MacNeill.
