MILITIA BLAMED;
 MURDERED WOMEN
Martial Those Participating in Recent Outrage.

DENVER, May 4--The military commission recently appointed by Governor Ammons to investigate the causes which led to the responsibil- ity for the battle between the miners and military authorities at Ludlow, when the tent city of the strikers was captured and II women and two children cremated in the tents which were destroyed by fire, reported to- day recommending the court mar tial of the officers and men concern ed in the attack.
 The commission reports that the trouble was largely due to the oper- ators, who had imported ignorant and savage Europeans to take the place of the miners and that they have been guilty of many excesses tend ing to bring on trouble between the miners and the strikebreakers, until many people are inclined to believe that the operators were trying to pro yoke the miners to destroy property SO that they could secure federal troops in the district.
 The mine operators have refused to arbitrate and claim that they will run the mines with non-union miners or will shut them down.
