1t is the intention of this paper to
publish all your news most willingly,
but the practice of publishing names
in articles we must discourage, as
names are not necessary, or as guests

too, names are so apt to be wrong, and
in order to treat all alike we make
this rule. Some wish to pay; we do
not wish to publish even under those

INJUSTICE REeETs INJUSTICE IN
COAL STRIKE.

There is no more reason why the
people of the state of Colorado, the
business and commercial bodies,
should suffer an increased burden
added TO our already high cost of liv.
ing because the operators of the coal
industry failed, neglected and refus-
ed to recognize the miners union,
than there is that we should have the
grocery clerks make the people suf-
fer because the owners of grocery
stores should refuse to recognize
their union or their particular church
or secret society.
To concede this point to the strik-
ers would only mean another conces-
sion of some other point at another
time. So the operators fatty refused
the miners demand. Guards We're
armed TO protect the mines; the min
ers in turn armed themselves for
what purpose we are unable to see).
Soon the armed forces began to kill
each other until Governor Ammons
ordered out the militia to the Wal
senburg and Trinidad districts. Some
of the ignorant, violent and vicious
strikers are Bulgarians, Slavs, Aus:
trians and Greeks of the Balkan war,
while the non-combatants are the
anese whose only desire is to be let
alone so they can work. What do
these foreign miners care for mil
sine numine,' what do they know of
souls, bleeding agonies it has cost
Colorado and America to be what she
is today? They know nothing and
care nothing of our welfare or history
and when worked up by labor agita-
tors whose only plan is to rob the
Negro and japanese of their God
given right to earn an honest living
by the sweat of their brows so that
their families might be supported,
murder, anarchy and bloodshed re-
suits. The same spirit is actuating
these labor leaders that actuated the
b. of r. r. and o. r. of c. to present
the full crewb i'll to the legislature.
The miners organization, if they fail
TO win with their violent methods,
will then turn to seek some advan-
tages by and through the legislature.
The spirit of prejudice, hate and spe-
cial advantage based on color over
the Negro or Japanese leads logically
whether followed by the legislative
route or murder route. to anarchy and
bloodshed against those discriminat-
ed. This anarchy in Colorado is not

boys and girls in church, societies and
schools were harmlessly taught not to
win success by merit but by special
advantage, a spirit of animosity, riv-
airy and hate resulted as the conse-
ffuence; advantages of race, color and
condition were used as "a means to
secure the special privilege. 1t began
