airy 3, in the basement of the school
house.

miners strike went into effect at mid
night last night and the period of Colo
RADIO industrial unrest was generally
considered at an end the Federal Com

Perhaps the most important testi-
mony Yesterday was that of Jefferson
Farr, Sheriff of Huerfano county, who
said he had commissioned 326 deputies
of unknown citizenship.
The Rev. James ME Donald, a me-
chanic and ordained Methodist minister
of Hastings and Aguilar mine camps,
who was at Aguilar during the burn

eight hours on the prairie, clothing
refugee families of the striking miners.
The Victor American Fuel Company
had opposed his church work as it had
the Presbyterian worker who had pre-,
ceded him, he said. Mcdonald testified
he did not believe the opposition was
personal or UNCONVENTIONAL but be-
cause the company feared the miners
might become enlightened in their
rights He had never urged unionism
in his sermons nor had the company
attempted to influence his sermons he
