Kensington Council No. le, Juaier
o. U. A. NJ. of Denver, named COM
mittee to make thorough Investigations
into the strike and especially the NC
tual trouble which occurred a few
weeks ago in various sections of the
state. This committee made a thor
ough investigation and reported and
the report has been sent broadcast
over the country and, when read, will
have the effect of changing public
opinion regarding the Ludlow affair.
The report is exhaustive and covers
the field clearly and decisively and,
among other things, says:
"Agitators, Not Workers
"These labor agitators are not work
ers themselves but are mere parasites
on workingmen organizations, and
they have for many years taught their
deluded followers class distinctions,
class hatred and prejudice, and have
encouraged class war, and people who
ought to know better have blindly en-
coursged them in their false teachings.
"They talk of Industrial war MS
glibly and geefully as though great
enterprises were built up by the burn
ing and destruction Of property and as
though men would be attracted TO en-
terprises in which they are daily in
danger Of assassination.
"To them the destruction by vio-
lence of factory or plant is but an
incident in the carrying on Of their
industrial war; These acts of vio-
hence indeed are very important and
helpful factor in their campaigns for
raising money.
"These labor agitators under differ
ent names, in Pennsylvania as Molly
Maguires, in Idaho and Colorado as
the Western Federation of Miners, and
now as the United Mine Workers, have
openly taught and freely practiced the
use of force, even though it lead to
murder as proper means of melting
hatred and class war.
"The confession of the Mcnamara 5
as to the blowing up of the Times
building in Los Angeles and other
wholesale destruction of properties by
dynamiters as the hired agents Of the
Structural Steel Workers illustrates
their method of procedure.
"This present trouble in Colorado
was deliberately brought about not be
| &c conditions in tho Untnn
but by these same labor agitators who
are not workers and who seek to pre-
vent others from working
"That they are mere labor aFitators
with no intention or desire to work OF
to plan work for others is shown ~
the fact that Gov. Ammons last fail
Offered to the United Mine Workers
Thousands of acres Of unused coal lands
belonging to the state At ten cents per
ton 2 yalty which was the lowest price
but the Mine Workers were not courte-
ous enough even to make any response
or to take any interest in the matter.
"This business of organizing unions,
fOmenting strikes and especially OF pre-
pairing for the use of violence and Of
accustoming their members to the idea
Of killing non-union men is profes
sion in itself.
"The labor leaders in this trouble
are not miners, and very few of then
are residents of Colorado. They have
been imported into the state and es
pecially into the strike districts fo
the purpose of melting strikes and Of
directing hostilities against the author
tiles.
"Louis Tikas never was . minel
himself, but was brought from Denver
to the strike district and employed by
