vice of John Mitchell.

Trinidad, Colo, March 26.-The de-

Workers, to continue the strike in the
southern Colorado coal fields, was in

opinion that it would be suicidal policy
on the part of the local strike leaders
to give in at this time, when the mill
tary had superseded the civil authori-
ties. He urged the local union to OBJ
serve religiously all orders and man
dates delivered by the powers that be-
He reminded them that labor's greatest
victories have been won by a strict ad-
herence to the rules of recognized au-
thority. He warned them against the
commission of any overt act, no matter
what the provocation.
