about twenty-five per cent. Of the
force. it is claimed, have agreed to
work under protection. The southern
operators have engaged about $50
guards and are hiring others as fast
as they can find men. Most of the
guards employed are cowboys who are
glad to earn IS day.
General Bell said last evening 1t

COAL MINERS STRIKE IN BOTH
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN FIELDS

Denver, Nov s-The News sums up
the strike situation this morning as
follows:
With the exception of q few inde-
pendent mines there will be general
strike in the northern coal fields this
morning. This was the almost unani-
nous decision of the miners Sof the
northern district on the referendum
vote on the schedule submitted by the
operators. The miners of the Northren
Coal and Coke Company will quit work
to a man. A few of the independent
operators have promised to give their
men eight hours. These mines will
continue in operation.
This morning 5000 miners of Ere
mont county will stop work. The
Rockvale mine has decided to shut
down. At Trinidad the strike may be
Of greater magnitude than was expect
ed by the operators. 1t seems doubtful
II enough men can be secured in the
district to work the mines at Primero
to-day. At Gray Creek all but one
have quit. At Starkville every man is
out.
Governor Peabody has ordered the
state troops to hold themselves in read
fness to respond to call at any mo-
ment.
General Sherman Bell. upon Shis re-
turn to Denver last evening, said that
orders had been issued to the militia

Want Supreme Court to Act.

The Denver News of November 9Th
says: "The Supreme Court will be
called upon to investigate recent
election frauds. There VIII be another
election on December 8, and the
Honest Election League, recognizing
that the usual channels of justice are
closed, will ask Judge of the Supreme
Court to sit as an examining magis-
trate and bind the election criminals
over for trial.
Under the law the Supreme Court
unquestionably has full power and
authority to exercise this jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court judges are con-
servators of the peace, and may sit as
examining magistrates whenever they
believe the conditions warrant 1t. The
Supreme Court is not only an appel
late tribunal, but its members may act
as plain examining magistrates. OF
course, they may refuse to act except
as they think the provocation exists.
but 1t is believed that in this instance
such a strong showing can be made
that the court will not hesitate to ex-
ercise jurisdiction at once. hear
charges. examine witnesses and in pro-
per cases bind the accused over to the
District Courts for trial.
