Governor Ammons would no doubt
have maintained order in the coal
camps II he had been given loyal
support by the state officials and his
own party leaders, but he had no
funds to begin the battle. and every
effort to raise money was back-cap-
ped until the only thing he could do
was to accept aid from the operators;
the militia had received no pay and
were men of other occupations desir-
GUS of returning home, and gradually
they were Withdrawn. The troops
left were recruited from the mine
employees. and were very obnoxious to
the miners: there was a howl about
the foreign gun men. but there were
only three of such men in the two
companies. and all the others were
bona fide citizens of the state and
eligible to membership in the militia.
This is the situation in brief when
the legislature was called in special
session; Governor Ammons had Civ
en- the matter careful attention. and
bad secured the promise OF sufficient
members to pass such legislation as
he outlined. but the principal demand
was for sufficient backing financially
to render him absolutely independ-
ent of the state officials and the mine
operators. The other points in the
call we're not very important at this
time 1t is doubtful II a compulsory
arbitration law can be enacted at all.
and the bill to change the constitu-
ticn allowing a legislature to enact
one was of doubtful validity.

MESA LEGISLATOR
SAYS BLAME LAYS
WITH BOTH SIDES
laWleSSneSS Due TO Operators
and the Strikers Were In
eICuSabIy Barbar0uS
(By HON. A. c. NEWTON. J

TIME situation in the coal fields of
Colorado is vitally interesting to
every law-abiding taxpayer in
the state, and 1t looks as il they must
take a hand in some way to settle the
labor conditions in those sections
For the past four years there has
been strike in the northern fields
in Boulder county, but that county
has for the most part been able to
take care of 1t without asking for
state aid. and 1t has cost the county
about $4,000; in sympathy with the
miners in other sections the strikers
broke out in an organized effort to
overthrow the authorities, and as a
result more than one hundred in
dictments have been returned against
the law breakers. including several
OF the labor leaders who We're caught
with the guns and ammunition.
The daily sentinel., 1914-05-21

The trouble is not all on the side
of the operators, however. but Ms
they are men OF large ideas and
ought to be lava biding they should
lend their aid to a peaceful solution
of the difficulties, instead of asking
those who pay taxes to back up their
arbitrary demands that no union
man shall be allowed 10 enter their
mines, which is the condition exist
ing in the metal mines OF the state
since the Peabody strike. That means
drastic step of deporting all who
are striking and in any way inter
fering with the mine owners and is
very far from legal when used against
citizens of the state who have rights
under our laws.

The daily sentinel., 1914-05-21

The situation in the southern fields
is different; there the operators have
for years controlled the local offici-
ais and have absolutely had things
their own way, and the feeling be-
tween the miners and the operators
is bitter to the limit. The mines are
owned for the most part by capital
lists in the east. wro pay no taxes.
and up TO this year there has been
no assessment made OF the improve
n,ents at any of the mines in this
state owned by those large corpora
tions; the tax commission this year
assessed arbitrarily to the amount OF
over s300 ,000. but IL has already cost
the taxpayers over <750.eO0 TO pro-
tect the property of those corpora
tions. and at the same time they have
no propert! to protect on the tax
rolls. The coal lands have been Sc
cured for the most part fraudulently
as homesteads at a small cost.
The daily sentinel., 1914-05-21

The question then is confined to a
simple and single issue as to wheth er
the operators who have close mu-
tual organization shall prevent the
miners from maintaining an organi-
zation and when troubles arise can
meet their employees as body and
not as single individuals. At first
glance it may seem that this indi-
vidual business is easy, but when it
is known that the owners OF the
mines live in the east, and their head
men live in Denver it will readily be
seen that the laborer has very little
chance to get any sort OF hearing
with the bosses, and this Is especially
true when We know that nine-tenths
of the men cannot speak the English
language ] confess that ] am in
sympathy with the miners to very
large extent. and can see no reason
why they should not be allowed to or
ganize under proper legal restriction
such as can be provided by an arbi-
tration law, which can be adopted
under our constitution.

Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. 14.--At
the regular meeting of the State
Board of Pardons which consumed
all Of Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day of this week, the board heard,
considered and passed upon ninety
seven applications for pardon. Fiji
ty-five Of these applications were
denied, twenty-five were passed for
further investigation and considera.
tiOn by the board; conditional par.
dons were granted to fourteen ap-
plicants, practically all of whom had
already served the larger part of the
sentences imposed upon them and
whose applications were strongly
endorsed and presented commending
features; three sentences were CON-
muted or reduced in cases where
strong showings were made. In ad-
dition to the foregoing, a consider
able number Of appeals for clemency
were brought to the boards atten-
tion but were not passed upon fol
the reason that the requirements OF
law with respect to making applica
tions for pardon had not been com
piled with.

NEW STYLE PANHANDLER

New York, Dec. l4.-So much
has been said about the deserving
war sufferers that little has been
heard about the undeserving. It is
a matter of record, however, that
the European war has developed a
brand-new kind of panhandler. He
sails the ocean blue. With bandages
on his head and on his arms and legs
he shambles and shunts his way into
the steerage of the big liners arriv-
ing at this port. On the way over
he tells pitiable stories Of the fright
full suffering the war has brought
upon him. He is always Belgian,
for Belgium spells admirable and
heroic now in the public mind. He
starts the telling of his narrowing
tales in the steerage and finally gets
to the attention of the first-class
passengers, coming themselves from
the scene OF devastation, the unfor-
tunate and pour lavish charity into
his hands. These takers go so far
as to cash their heads, faces, and
bodies so that when the ships off,
|lcers try to expose them, they are
prepared to stand up for an un-

]. Maxwell. district superintendent
Of the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
Jacksonville, thus advises Manager
L. NJ. Mccormick Of the local office:
please bear in mind that stamps
cannot be used to pay tax on tele-
grams. The law requires us to col
lect on behalf of the government a
tax of one cent in addition to the
regular charges from the person
paying for the message and the COM
pany in turn has to pay the tax to
the government. Telegraph com.
panies. therefore. must collect tax in
cash and cannot accept revenue
stamps in lieu of cash. There arc
no stamps issued by the government
intended for use on kilograms.
