Labor Warfare

DENVER, Col, March ZS-There IS a
report here that the attempt 10 xiii
Buck Wells at Telluride this morning
may reopen all Of the labor troubles in
this State. For a long time now every
thing has been quiet, and II had been
believed that the violent element had
learned. its lesson. while the Mine Own
ers' Association had decided 20 be a
trife more tolerant IN the inter 81 Of
universal peace.
The Western Federation some time
ESQ caIed of the strike in the Cripple
Creek district II had been beaten there.
but had not acknowledged IL, with tho
result that members Of the Federation
kept out OF the camps in the creek
district, some because they had been
deported and warned. and others be-
cause they retained their membership
in the Federation
With the declaring of OF the strike
many of tie miners who formerly lived
IN the district went back to the several
camps and have been working there
unmOlested.
It IS certain, howe yer, that this latest
bomb outrage At I telluride VIII renew
afresh the bad feeling between the fac
tions. Hate has smouldered for years,
and the intensity of IL cannot be mag
iueC by those not familiar with the sit
uation. If an outbreak comes it is ad-
mitted by both sides that there will be
scenes Of bl)nucued that Will eclipse
the troubles OF the past decade.
The governor has wired TO Telluride
for particulars cf today's outrage. II
troops are needed IN the region be viii
send them Immediately.
The belief is expressed b. friends OF
Wells that tOday's attempt to Kill him
was due entirely TO friends OF Steve
Adams. They declare that Wells IS
the real witness against Adams for the
murGer Of Collins. If AdsmS is con-
viCtcG Of the murder OF CoNins, these
people say. lie will likeiv tell some
things about his career 50 soon as II
is shown he cannot save his own neck
That a new confession from Adams
would be a potent factor in determin-
ing the guilt Of those directly respons-
ibIe for the Independence depot ex-
plosion, for the killing Of Beck and Nc
Cormick in the Vindicator. for the at
tempted killings of other persons IN the
mining district and in Denver, is as
serted Because Of this fact. friends OF
Wells here today assert. L has beer
determined he shall be killed
For weeks Wells has been guaded by
noted gun men, among them Bob
( '4eldrum. and others. who are afraid
of nothing. He has realized that ne
was indeed a marked man.
But the question troubling his friends
here is how the person who placed the
bomb managed TO get near the house
in the face Of the strong guard known
TO be there II seems certain at the
present time that there viii be more
trouble in Telluride. even though il does
not spread out of San Miguel county.
