OPERATORS FlAY UNION TACTICS
AND LEADERS IN LETTER TO GOV.

In accordance with your request.
We address You on the suggestion
contuined In this letter.
We are Justified by everything
which has occurred leading up to the
strike which was declared September
23rd. and following that date. In not
plncing any confidence whatever IN
any statement or communication
from the parties who wrote this let
ter.
Their evident purpose Is to Inn
the acts OF violence which have been
directed from their tent COLONY at
Ludlow and which have been insti-
gated by them and their associates.
ON the morning that this letter
was received. two Slavish women,
wives OF two Of the miners working
at the Delagua mine, were forcibly
seized by armed men and women
from the Ludlow camp. as they were
proceeding from the Ludlow station
to the mine. and We're imprisoned un-
I'll released through your interven-
ton.
In addition to the dastardly char
Gcter of this outrage IL the fact that
one OF the women was in delicate
condition and soon to become a mo-
ther.
The cowardiy instigators OF such
acts of violence against women have
no claim to any consideration from
us aud deserve the contempt and con-
demnation of every right thinking
citizen of the state.
AS regards the shooting referred
to. our guards are located at the
mines several miles from the strikers
camp at Ludlow. They have not left
the mines except when 1t was abso-
lutely necessary in passing to and
from the mines on business errands.
TO avoid any conflict with the strik-
ers. they have not used the main and
direct road to the mines. which leads
by the strikers camp. but have taken
the less convenient road which. at
the nearest point is more than one
half mile away from the camp, Not

I'VE deeply deplore the shooting

likewise concerned. We wish to ask
you to cooperate with us to pre-, ent
a repetition of such occurrences,
Whether company guards or miners

so far az It lies in our power to pre-
vent, that there shall be no more
shooting or violence in and around
Ludlow or anywhere else. Call the
attention OF your guards to their re-
sponsibility. and we will see that our
people are likewise informed.
The searchlight that is turned on
the Ludlow camp at night can only
have the effect of adding to the bit
ternes of feeling and should be dis
continued.
We trust you will accept this let
