A Statement of the
Coal Strike Situation

Prior to the calling OF the present
existed between the mine owners and
their workmen. Only a small minority
OF the miners were members OF any
union. The United Mine Workers of
organization on May 81. 1913. In the
states of Colorado. Utah and New
Mexico. OF only 2.0fs. out of a total OF
$4,000 men employed. Approximately
1000 of these members were enrolled
from the northern part OF Colorado.
where strike had been in progress
for many months; and 1000 from points
elsewhere in this state and in Utah
and New Mexico.
Some weeks ago one of the officials
of the United Mine Workers came to
this state. and announced publicly and
privately that IT. was his purpose to
bring about the recognition of his or
ganization by the owners OF all coal
mines-that is. 1t was his purpose and
that OF his union to compel the op-
orators to sign form OF contract
which. among other things. requires and
permits the employment OF union men
Because OF this and other stipula-
tions In this so-called contract. which
is impossible OF enforcement against
the union--a voluntary. irresponsible and
unincorporated association--and because
of the fact that few Of the men work.
ing In the mines were members OF this
organization. and were making no de-
mands. the operators declined to nego-
tiate upon the subject.
Thereupon. the union official mention
ed announced that. although fully en-
powered so to do. he would not call
a strike to enforce his demands. but
would refer the matter to a convention
of representatives selected by the min
ers In all the coal camps OF the state.
A convention was called. 1t met in
Trinidad. Two hundred and fifty 80
called delegates were present. One hun
dred were striking and idle miners from
northern Colorado: fifty or thereabouts
were officers or paid employees OF the
union. The rest were selected by those
In charge OF this convention. and In
no sense represented the men actually
at work In the mines. In few. II any.
instances were delegates selected by
the mon actually employed In the coal
camps. This CONVENTION voted to
call strike. and 1t was accordingly
called for the 23d, inst. At that time
approximately SO per cent OF the men
engaged In and about the coal mines
laid down their tools
The real. and at first the frankly
avowed. object OF the strike leaders
to Compel the operators to sign the
union contract-has now. for effect upon
the public been Increased to include a
number OF new demands which properly
appeal. with some force. to all right
