ACCEPT TRUCE
Agree to Presidents Plan for
Settlement Of Colorado
Coal Strike.
EAGER TO END STRIFE
Action of Organization Pleases Mr..
Wilson. as 1t Puts Rejection of
Peace Up to Rockefellers.
EAGER TO END STRIFE

The United Mine Workers of America
yesterday accepted President Wilson s
proposal for a settlement of the Colorado
| coal mine strike.
| The Presidents plan provides for the
establishing of truce between the
miners and the operators, during which
differences are to be submitted to a
! locally elected grievance committee, over
which a commission. appointed by the
President, is to act as a court OF ap-
| peals.
| Letter to President.
A letter from the high officers OF the
| United Mine Workers informed the Presi-
dent Of their acceptance Of the govern
ments plan subject to the approval Of
the representatives of the miners Of
Colorado. whose representatives had been
| called to meet for an expression OF their
view at Trinidad yesterday.
The action Of the operatives organiza-
ton was especially pleasing to the Pres
ident, inasmuch as It placed the burden
Of rejection Of the peace proposal and
the continuance of the conditions which
necessitate the presence of Federal
troops in the Colorado strike district
upon the shoulders Of the Rockefellers.
The letter of the mine workers or
ganization, which was signed by Pres
ident John p. White, Vice President
Frank J. Hayes, and Secretary-Treas-
Urer William Green, was in part as fol-
lows: =
Want Industrial Peace.
The organization which We have the
honor to represent stands for industrial
peace. We favor the establishment OF
right relations between employers and
employees to the end that strikes may be
rendered unnecessary. Having proper
regard for these aims We sought in the
beginning to avoid an industrial conflict
in Colorado.
TT is our Judgment that employers and
employees through their chosen repre-
sentatives ought to meet and settle their
differences by mutual agreement. A d.
rect working agreement entered into in
a friendly spirit makes for abiding. per
manent industrial peace. This, We be-
lieve. ought to be done by the miners
and operators Of Colorado. However, we
are mindful of the suffering and waste
which this strike has thus far imposed
and the additional sacrifice which will
be made OF it continues.
Feeling keenly, therefore. our respon-
sibiities. as the representatives OF our
organization, We accept your proposed
basis OF settlement Of the Colorado
strike, subject. Of course. to the approval
OF the miners of Colorado. conven-
ton OF the representatives Of the miners
of Colorado will be held at Trinidad.
Colo, Tuesday. September 10. at which
time action will be taken thereon.
I'VE sincerely appreciate the personal
concern which you have manifested in
the Colorado strike. Speaking as you do
in the names OF all the people Of our
great nation. We feel II our duty to re-
spond TO your earnest wish.
I'VE do so. therefore, as We trust in
the true spirit OF American citizenship

was Nellie whom Holmes had perse-
cuted with unwelcome attentions. He
had met with rebuff that CALLED him.
He had decided to get a complete re-
venge by superceding Delmar in his
position with some favorite or driving
him to resign.
Delmar had strong mind of his
own and his mind just now, though
disturbed and ruffled, was to leave
his position when Nellie did. Then if
ever he met Holmes on the street, he
would give him the thrashing of his
life for trying to kiss Nellie behind a
pile of goods and calling her an idle
fiirt later before the whole floor.

ganized, soliloquized Delmar as he

ry ever did, to have to submit to
that miscreant's low caprices. Glad

added a moment later, 'for it has led
to my knowing Nellie and-Pm in
love with Nellie"
Ihe thought cOmforCed MIN so,
that Delmar smiled and then, despite
the low grade of sorting work, he set
about it and fell to humming softly to
himself. He knew that Nellie would
know that his present humiliation
had come about because of his in
terest in her. That fact would draw
her closer to him and he was glad.
There was no one in the great bare
room save himself, so far as Delmar
saw. He set at his work diligently,
pad and pencil in hand and attacked
a great heap of Navajo rugs that had
got wet in shipment. Next was pile
of fine electric lamp shades. Some
were cracked, in some the fittings
were loosed. He was busyinspecting
them, marking them, listing them on
the tab, when suddenly there rose up

He had heard of the protracted lapses
of his head employer, but had never
seen him in his present helpless con-
dition.
Worse than helpless it was, Delmar
Immediately discovered absolutely
critical. There was one muddled
groan fro mthe victim of the fall and
then he lay inert. One arm out
stretched showed a tide of blood
streaming forth. The sight warned
and thrilled Delmar. He lifted the
victim back to the couch, tore open
the red soaked sleeve and discovered
where a fragment of the broken glass
had severed an artery.
To summon help from the store
would be to reveal the unfortunate
condition of it's head. Delmar knew
that he must staunch that gaping
wound or the man would bleed to
death. There were plenty of fabrics
within reach. He made an i'm

out being noticed led him to the stoT-
age loft.
1t was nearly an hour before the
physician had the patient in a safe
and partially lucid condition. He left
him with the statement:
eff this young man had not acted
quickly and with good common
sense, L fear your business would
have known you no longer"
Brown was sobered and scared. He
made Delmar relate the incidents of
his coming to the loft. He bound him
to secrecy as to the condition he had
discovered him in. He requested Del
mar to remain with him until the
store was closed, so that he might
leave it unnoticed by the employees.

of recklessness or guilt receives his
lesson sooner or later. Richard
