believed to have excellent collateral.

Denver, Dec. 19-The statewide
convention of union labor directed the
executive committe of the Colorado
Federation of Labor to prepare peti
tions for the recall OF Gov. E. NJ. Am
mons Immediately. and authorized
President John McLennan to appoint
a committee of five to take part in the

hall in the Club building, after the
500 delegates had marched to the
state house and asked the governor to
outline his future policy in regard to
the strike and the militia.
While no action has been taken to
select man to run against Governor
Ammons when the recall proposition
is forced to n vote, there is already
talk of two. 1t will take five or six
months to get the matter before the
people, and 10000 signatures to petit
tions must first be secured before the
recall election can be called.
The governor met the delegates In
the House of Representatives cham
ber. He stood his ground on his pre-
viously announced policy of law en-
forcement, regardless of who was hit
and refused to recall the militia or
remove any of its officers until
charges of outrages committed by
members of the guards were substan-
tiated by legal proof.
The delegates clearly demonstrated
that the governors statement to them
was entirely unsatisfactory, and when
they returned to their hall various
delegates subjected Governor Ammons
to the severest arraignment that he
has vet received in the convention
hall.
Not a voice was raised against the
recall petition. The convention hall
WIS in a turmoil most of the after
noon. The delegates were stirred into
heated denunciation of the governor
by the furious oratory of Mother
Jones and Secretary e. L. Doyle of the
U. n. M. of A., District 10.
The convention adjourned sine die
ats o'clock. President McLennan was
authorized to appoint the investigat-
ing committee of five.
