Colorado Strikers Must
Shoot IN Self Defense

Denver, Colo, April 2.-CSpeciaD-
The militia of Colorado, which for four
months have robbed and plundered
homes of striking coal miners, insulted
women and committed other outrages
which created reign of terror in
Southern Colorado, reached the eli
max in their war for the coal operators
when they demolished the strikers
tent colony at Forbes, making men
women and children homeless in a
binding snow storm. Mrs. Zanatell
who recently gave birth to twins was
thrown out with the others.
The only excuse given by Col. Davis
in charge of the 23 militiamen was
that Adjutant. General Chase had or.
dered chat tent colony cleaned out. .
After tearing the tents in shreds and
breaking he lumber of the camp into
kindling wood, the scab-herders went
to the upper tent colony and ordered
every person in it to leave within 48
hourse or be deported.
Wholesale Deportation.
This is the first threat of the militia
to start wholesale deportation. The
only other incident was the deportation
OF Mother Jones, 82-year-old angel OF
the coal camps from Trinidad.
This latest outrage of the militia
brought forth the following statement
from the United Mine Workers off
cials: --"r
The prediction of many of the citi
zens of Southern Colorado was tina
when the work of the congressional
committee was finished and the con-
Igressmen had returned to Washington,
hell would pop in the strike zone and
the people who had courage to testify
against the militia and the coal com.
panies would pay dearly for the priv
1ege of testifying to the truth. i
The train with the congressional
commit on board had scarcely
crossed the border line of Colorado
when members OF the Colorado Ma
tional Guard, acting under orders of
Adjutant General John Chase, raided
the Forbes tent colony after thirteen
of the residents of the colony had been
placed under arrest on a trumped-up
charge.
Mus Defend Themselves.
We are advised by our counsel,
Horace N. Hawkins, that this is an
unWarranted and illegal act. If this
means that deportation is about to
take place and the homes of the strik-
ing miners thus wantonly destroyed,
as citizens of the state of Colrado and
officials of the Colorado miners IN
ion, We are going to advise every man
to arm himself to protect and defend
is home. whether it be from attacks
Of mine owners, hirelings, under the
guise of BaTdwinlFelts gunner or the
Colrado State militia.
"A striking miners tent is his home
and is as sacred to him as is the
mansion to the mine owner"
The statement was signed by John
R. Lawson, member of the Information
al Board of United Mine Workers O.

of the Colorado State Federation of
Labor and E. L. Doyle, secretary-treas-
urer of District NO. is.
