Martial law apparently is maintained
for the purpose of preventing the re
turn of the deported strikers and union
sympathizers.s
There are between fifty and sixty
union miners in the town. They are
supported by the Western Federation
of Miners. Some of the more radical
of the members Of the Citizens alliance
want to drive these men out of town.
Captain Wells Of troop A, military
commander Of the district, has Informed
NJ ]. Sullivan, local president of the
union, that the miners should either go
TO work Immediately or get out of Tel
luride, saying that with his limited
military force he could not guarantee
them protection.
Two Colts pneumatic guns have been
taken into the mountains. and placed in
positions where they can sweep all APP
prOacheS to the mines. Powerful
searchlights nightly play over the sur
rounding country, making the guns as
sufficient for the night as in the day
