BIG STRIKE ON IN
 COLORADO FIELDS
MINERS AND OPERATORS ARE SURPRISED AT EXTENT OF THE WALkOUT-MEN JOINING THE UNITED MINE WORKERS.

Trinidad, Colo, November S.-It is now evident that the strike of the coal miners in the first district of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company is no small affair. In fact it is a strike out of all proportion, even to that hoped for by the officers of the United Mine Workers ofSAmerica. and ten times what was looked for by ths coal operators.
 At the meeting of superintendents and pit bosses held in the Colorado Fuel and Iron office at Trinidad last Thursday night reports were made that in no camp would enough men go out to cause a shut down. It is doubtful If enough men can be found in the whole district by tomorrow to work the mines at Primrose. There is not one mine in this section that can start up tomorrow with half crew of miners. All day the chiefs and miners have been swarming into Trini- dad, nearly all of them having their pay checks, running from $lS7 down. The checks were for such amounts that bus mess men could not cash them, and hence lost thousands of dollars in trade. All day long the miners have been join- ing the United Mine Workers. The police who were stationed near the office of that organization to prevent any possibility of a clash between the union and non-union men estimated that at least 800 joined
 The Italians have quit almost to man. They have not joined the union to any extent giving as their reason that they were sold out by the labor organization on two or three occasions. They will stay out, their officers say, until the griev- ances of all have been adjusted. They have plenty of money as individuals, and their societies have large sums on de- posit in banks here. The Colorado and Southern, Santa Fe and Denver and Rio Grande railroads reduced their crews nearly one half, it is said, while the Col orado and Wyoming is practically out of business as a coal road
 Sheriff Clark secured many deputies to- day One hundred men were sworn and twenty-five men have been sent to Hast ings
 Sc far as can be learned, there has been no violence, but clash is feared at Hast ings. The expense to the operators for armed guards is now estimated at not less than $1200 a day.

 fly gazed breathless at this strange tragedy of the air Then they went back to the sick room to tell of the terrible struggle for life they had just witnessed. It did not occur to them that under their very eyes more terrible, more pathetic struggle was going ou daily.
 There can be nothing more pitiful than the struggle the consuniptive makes against disease. The greatest help in this struggle is gained by the use of Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Dis covery. It cures obstinate coughs, weak and bleeding lungs, cancellation, and other ailments which if neglected or unskillfully treated find fatal termina- ton in consumption.
