Commissioners of Cancellation.
The presidents letter follows:
Il feel justified In addressing yo,
with regard 70 the present strike IN
Colorado because II has lasted sc
long. has gone through so many seri.
Gus stages, and Is fraught with II
many possibilities that 1t has become
lof national Importance.
As you know federal troops have
been IN the state for the purpose Of
maintaining order now for long
time. 1 have been hoping every day
during that time that some light
would come out Of the perplexities OF
the situation, some indication that
the mine operators and the miners
who are now on strike were willing
to consider proposals OF accommoda-
tion and settlement, hnt no such In
dicatlon has reached ME and / am
now Obliged to determine whether |
am justified in using the army Of the
United States indefinitely for police
purposes.
'Many things may come out of
this situation If II is not handled with
public spirit and with sincere de-
sire to safeguard the public as well
as all others concerned. perhaps the
most serious Of them all Ii the feeling
which is being generated and the inn
preston of the public that no one IL
willing 70 act. no one willing to yield
anything, no one willing even to con-
slider terms of accommodation.
"As you know, two representatives
of the government Of the United
States have been actively engaged IN
investigating the whole situation and
In trying to reach dispassionate
conclusion as to what 1t is possible
to do not only IN justice to both sides
but also in the interest of the public.
The result Of their investigations and
of their very thoughtful considera-
tion in The matter has been the draft
ing OF the enclosed tentative basis
for the adjustment OF the strike.
recommend II to YOU for your most
serious consideration ! hope that you
Will consider 1t as II YOU We're acting
for the whole country and ] beg that
you Will regard it as urged upon your
acceptance by myself with very deep
This Is time, | am sure
you Will feel, when everything should
be done that ii is possible for men to
do u sec thai all untoward ondl
circumstances Of every
sort are taken out Of the life OF the
people of the United States
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"
