NINE WORKERS
DO NOT CALL OUT MORE MEN
viii Appeal for Aid to Carry on Strike
in Southern Colorado but Will
Not Order Strike in North
ern Districts.

Pueblo, Colo. June 26-With yester
days session the executive committee
OF the Fifteenth district, United Mine
Worker OF America, adjourned for an
indefinite period.
Althongh the various members of
the committee were extremely reti
cent as 10 what had been done. it was
learned that the principal features of
public interest were the adoption OF an
appeal to the Mine Workers Of Amer
ica and the public for aid in the strike
and a decision not to call out the union
miners throughout the district who
are not now on strike unless circum
stances should be such that it is best
to do 60 in the opinion of the eXecu
tive committee.
1t was thought for time that every
union miner in the district would be
called out i'll a supreme effort to win
in the southern Colorado district.
Without stating what their plans are
for continuing the strike. the mem
bers OF the executive committee state
that 1t Is not probable that any more
miners will he called out Tor some time
at least
The appeal that will be made to ev-
cry member Of the organization In the
United States and to the public at
large embraces short history of the
strike and outlines the conditions of
the miners throughout the district.
This will be sent broadcast through
out the country and is one of the
methods adopted for raising funds for
continuation of the strike in this
district. The financial support Of the
national organization has been with.
drawn and the district will be depend
ent in the future on its own efforts to
raise none for a continuance of the
strike.

Russian View of Naval Battle.

| St Petersburg. June 26.-Up to to-
| night the japanese report of the loss OF
three Russian ships at Port Arthur has
not been published here, though the
authorities have allowed to be printed
statement that the squadron had made
a sortic and also the news of the loss
of the japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers. Some OF the papers have even
commented with satisfaction on the
prospect of fight on the open sea.
where the merits of the two fleets
would be fairly tested.
An official explanation Of the oppO-
sition of the japanese report is that the
admiralty is unwilling to unnecessarily
alarm the public by the circulation of
such statements entirely on the auth
Ority of the enemy and in the absence
of definite advices from the command
er at Port Arthur. 1t is also suggested
as possible that there has been a fight.
, and that the japanese have minimized
their own losses and magnitied those of
the Russians, with a view of etfecting
the new loan which it is understood
Japan is negotiating.
On the other hand, according to a
foreign naval attache, the admiralty
to-day admitted that Rear Admiral
Without tthe naval commander at Port
Arthur lost one battleship and two
crluisers. but in the absence of details
It Is impossible to give out any news.
In high court and army and navy cir
cles. where the report of the Port Ar
thur affair has been freely circulated.
the Japan version is received with con-
siderable reserve.
The officials do not attempt to dis
guse the seriousness and the far-reach-
ing consequences which might result
from the loss of three of the Port Ar
thur warships. but they profess to be
more inclined to believe that the YES
sells were lost in open fight rather than
as the result of a torpedo attack
Should this be the case, the Japanese
could not have escaped without ma
terial loss and the cripplng of one or
two Of their battleships, enough to as
sure command of the sea to the Baltic
squadron.
There is much speculation tonight
as to whether the Vladivostok squadron
might not have gone out, and perhaps
be on the eve of joining the Port Ar
thur fleet. a telegram from Nladivos-
tok, dated June 25th, which has been
received here, does not mention the
squadron, but it is conceivable that
such mention might be suppressed for
strategic reasons.
A general tension IS evident In this
city tonight. There are many rumOrs
ailoat. and everyone is realizing that
most important news may be expected
ct any moment. 1t is reported that
serious land fight has taken place near
