Estimate Of Men Out and Working

Denver, Sept. 24.-Information re-
ceived at the office of Governor Am
mons from both operators and miners
of the strike zones of the Colorado
coal fields shows that about sixty per
cent. of the coal miners of the state
responded to the call to walk out
scheduled for Tuesday morning at 8
| o'clock. Several mines have been shut
down, principally, say the operators,
to avoid exposing employees to outside
interference.
"The operators estimate that not
over six thousand miners failed to re.
port for work in the first twenty-four
hours of the strike situation and no
cases Of violence have been reported.
OF the number failing to report for
duty great per cent. are ready to
work, but are awaiting to be assured
protection by their employers"
This was the statement issued by j.
F. Welborn, president of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. Mr.. Welborn
stated that immediate steps would be
taken to guard all company camps and
that the oituation would be cleared in
few weeks after the miners were
shown that no outside interference
would be tolerated by the operators.
While In some districts, Fremont,
Huerfano and few small camps, from
seventy-five per cent. to all of the min

DEATH RATE HIGH
IN COTTON MILLS
Southern Politicians Tender in
Their Care of Man.
ufacturers.
Star Bureau.
Metropolitan National bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON June II.

When one reads the facts concern
ing the mortality records in the cot
ton mills of the United States, as re-
ported recently in a digest of the
governments investigation of the
subject, light is thrown upon the
meaning of the bitter opposition
shown by Southern senators to the
work of former Commissioner Neil,
of the department of labor, under
whose direction the facts were OBJ
tanned.
In the last generation a large share
of the big cotton factories of the
country have been moved from New
England to the South. They are still
owned by New England capital, but
the absence of laws regulating child
labor, hours of employment, COM
pany stores and the fact that there
are more women and children to be
had at lower wages there has made
Southern cotton mills attractive and
profitable for investors. And since
these cotton mills are about the only
manufacturing industries many of
the Southern States have, business
interests and politics. closely allied,
make Southern politicians very ten
der in their care of the capitalists
who hire the women and children in
the mills.
There are more than 10000 women
employed in the cotton mills of the
country, the government reports
show. Conditions in the factories,
hours of labor, low rate of pay, make
the results in death and sickness an
appalling story.
out of every two deaths among
women mill workers, the report
shows, one was caused by tuber-
culosis. The death rate among women
mill workers is 80 1-3 per- cent greater
than among the male employees.
Work in the mills so undermines the
health of women that when they
marry one out of every seven dies
in childbirth.
At various ages, it is shown, the
mortality among women mill work
ers is from two to five times as great
as among women of the same ages
not employed in the mills.
1t has taken years for the govern
ment agents to collect these and
other facts concerning conditions in
the cotton mills, the investigations
being made difficult by the fake
statistics furnished by the cotton mil
owners and operators, and in many
cases by the duplicity Of town and
State officials who aided in doctorine
the records.
1t is startling presentation Of the
heartlessness of big business and the
callousness and failure of State gov
eminent to provide humane regula-
ton of factory labor which is made
by this government report on the
cotton mills. Fl. B. w.
