Not Bona Eide Militiamen,
Capt, Carson Says.

of Capt. Edwin f. Carson, who was com
mander of Company A Of the state militia

Ludlow were not bona fde militiamen.
He says 80 per cent of them were en-
ployes of the coal operators.
He says this company was formed April
Il, only one week before the battle OF
/ Ludlow. His other assertions are:
They We're never regularly organized
and never regularly elected officers; never
held a single drill.
OF the 126 men who formed Company
! \, 30 were mine guards in the employ OF
the coal companies. The other 40 PEI
/ cent were mine clerks, pit bosses, engi
neers. tiremen and miners in the employ
/ of coal companies and citizens OF Trinidad
whose sympathies were with the Goa
operators
That this company entered the servic,
/ of the state without hope of compensa
I ton except what its members were re
eeiving from the coal operators
! He also asserts that Company r. con
sisting of 81 men. was made up OF min,
guards and Of regulars transferred from
other companies.

Detective S Cost.

In 1901 before the office Of attorney
general was created the state paid for
detective service $6jI.75. Following
the appointment of attorney general it
cost under G. G. Fits in 1907, the sum
OF $l,945.36, Under Attorney General
J. 6. Sargent the detective service cost
the state in 1911 Sl0,595.22.
Under Attorney General Il. Il. Brown
the detective service has jumped so
that in 1913 the total sum paid for de-
tective service alone reached the alarm
ing figure of $34 ,7O6.19.
This development led to scanning
of accounts and the still more astound-
ing discovery was made that from July
/, 1913, to April %, 1914 Attorney
General Brown had approved detective
accounts aggregating no less than $34,
930.91, at which rate the total for the
fiscal year would reach the aggregate
