JOHN D. JR., REFUSES AID
PRESIDENT GETS MESSAGE FROM
FOSTER IN REGARD TO INTER.
VIEW WITH MINE OWNER.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, April 2s.-President
Wilson this afternoon announced his
decision to send Federal troops to
Colorado, to restore peace in the
strike zone, where state of virtual
war exists.
The Presidents decision came after
long conference with members OF
his Cabinet and Colorado congress
men.
1t is believed that the troops will be
sent from Fort D. A. Russell, near
Cheyenne, or from barracks in the
state Of Washington.
At Fort Russell there are troops Of
the Twelfth cavalry which can be
rushed to Colorado before night.
The troops in the state of Washing
ton are the Fourteenth infantry.
There are detachments at Vancouver
barracks and Spokane. If they should
be chosen for the srtike duty they
could not reach Denver before Thurs
day.
Washington, April 2S.-U. S. troops
probably will be sent to the strike re-
gion in Colorado today to restore or
der.
This became known last night, fol-
lowing conference between the
President, Secretary Of War Garrison
and Senator Thomas, at which a tele-
gram announcing that John d. Rookie
| feller, owner Of most of the mines in.
volved in the trouble, had refused me.
| diation, was read.
Representative Foster of Illinois,
mines, was sent to New York by Pres
ident Wilson to urge Rockefeller to
order arbitration of the dispute be.
tween himself and the miners. Rep.
resentative Foster in a telegram to
the President last night stated that
Rockefeller would not agree to medt
ate in the trouble by directing his
managers to agree to arbitrate.
The President received a long tele
gram from Foster before the latter left
New York, relating in detail his fail
ure to win Rockefeller's aid in a set
tlement of the conditions in Colorado

der, who was called into the confer
ence at the White House, advised the
President that he was entirely withir
his rights in ordering federal troops
into a state, the governor of which
had made an appeal for aid to restore
order.
The President is extremely reluc
tant to interfere in the internal af
fairs of Colorado He believes Colo
RADIO should set it's own house in or
der without involving the Washington
government in the housecleaning
Then, he is said to doubt the political
wisdom of throwing troops into the
disturbed region to restore order, be-
cause of the criticism that is certain
to arise in certain quarters that the
administration is using the military
over to crush labor and to fight the
battles of capital and the corporations
The prolonged conference between
the President, Secretary Garrison and
| Senator Thomas ended without def
| mite action. 1t is expected, however
| that the President will order out the
| troops today.
There was tense feeling here all day
while the President awaited a report
from Representative Foster OF Illinois
| whom he sent to New York to inter
view John d. Rockefeller.
