ly settlement Of the coal strike is in
dicated by his statement here last
night that he wanted the support OF
the Pueblo wholesale houses for five
years if necessary in furnishing sup
plies for the militia. Assurances of
This support were given at the con
ference of the governor and Adjutant
Chase with representatives of the
Commercial club, the Rotary club, and
other organizations.
Governor Ammons told the confer
ence that the militia would be kept in
the coal fields indefinitely to preserve
peace and to permit the operation Of
the mines. He wanted to be prepar-
ed for fiye-year siege, and asked
that Pueblo continue its support Of
this policy by furnishing supplies and
taking care Of handling certificates of
Indebtedness through local banks. The
committee chosen to meet the COVER
nor agreed to this, after hearing from
General Chase statements as to what
was being done in the strike zone and
what he needs of the militia are
Governor Ammons also conferred
with local labor leaders regarding the
possibility Of sympathetic strike.
He was told that while the leaders
sympathize with the miners. it was
impossible to state what the attitude
Of local labor bodies would be until
a vote was taken on the sympathetic
strike proposition.

New York said Jerome Ito try him
for the crime with which we have
charged him, and to punish him for
