j. w. welborn. president Of the Col
orado Fuel & Iron Company, issued a
formal statement on the termination OF
the strike. It follows:
"The calling of of the strike is nat
urally a cause for general satisfaction.
It must, however. be borne in 5mind
that:
- 'First-The general trade conditions
make It Impossible for the mining com :
pany to give immediate or early enl-
pIOyment to all the strikers who have
not been connected with any violence.
tho we will employ such men as fast
as the vacancies occur or improved
trade conditions make possible.
"Second-The lawless element, which
is by no means small, has been taught
not only to disregard the property o.
the owners. but to defy the law.
Lawless Have Arms Hidden.
"Third-This element is armed or
has arms hidden away.
"Fourth-The lawless will not relish
their relief, small tho it has been, cut
off in mid winter.
"F'ifth-The tent colonies remain at
by the lawless So called strikers. whose
resentment will be keener than it has
been heretofore.
These conditions make 1t evident
that for the time at least, that the
large army of workers-to say nothing
Of property-must have the protection
Of soldiers, either of the state or ma
tion.' 3
