they have made a splendid record"

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denyer.-The court-martial OF every
officer and enlisted man OF the state
militia who participated in the burn
ming of the coal strikers tent colony
at Ludlow In which two women and
eleven children were killed. is recon-
mended by Mai. Edward J. Boughton,
judgeadvocate; Capt w. C. Danks
and Capt. Philip S. Van Cise OF the
Colorado National Guard. comprising
the military committee which conduct
cd an Investigation. In u report OF
its findings submitted Saturday night,
the committee lays responsibility for
the renewal Of hostilities to the Greek
strikers of the colony. but finds that
after tile first tent caught fire that
soldiers and mine guards deliberately
spread the conflagration by pouring
oil upon the flames and other tents.
The report attributes the burning Of
the first tent to concentrated firing
upon 1t. 1t recites that Mejor Ham
rock, when hostilities commenced,
trained machine gun on the tent
colony ''to test his range" and fired
a volley directly Into 1t.
The committee holds Lieut.. e. X.
Linderfelt largely responsible for the
antagonism which led to the rent col
ony burning, through wholly tactlcss
treatment Of mine guards and strik-
ers." 1i ~
1t found that Louis Tikns. leader OF
the colony, had sought to prevent a
clash between the cclonists and the
militiamen; that Major Hammock had
brought reinforcements before the
battle, and TINT the Greeks had pre-
cipitated the fight by firing first.
Tikas, who later was taken prisoner
after having joined the Greek fighting
ranks in the battle, the committee
found. had been struck so violently
over the head by rifle in the hands
OF Lieutenant Linderfelt that the stock
of the weapon had been broken. The
committee found that Tikas and two
other prisoners were shot. ~
The committee reports that what
was desisnated = Troop "a" was re-
cruited from mine guards, who come
and go with Strikes" are ineligible to
enlistment as national guardsmen and
mine employees.
The coal operators are blamed by
the committee for large part OF the
riotous and lawless acts in the strike
zone to their employment Of "igno
rant, lawless and savage south Euro
pean peasants" who have no respect
for law and to whom liberty means
license" gs-....e
In conclusion, the committee recon-
mends in addition to general court.

constabulary and further investiga
tion by state and federal governments.

Washington, May 4.-In providing
for future government action in the
Colorado labor situation, President
Wilson mas under advisement the
problem of what to do as regards re-
opening the coal mines. His deliber-
ations thus far include plan Of re-
fusing the operators to resume work
until there is industrial as well as
civic peace. 1t can be asserted with
a fair degree of precision that there
will be no operation Of the mines un-
til they can be run without guns.
& Whether that means compromise
somewhere along. the lines OF the
present contending factions or wheth-
er one faction is to acknowledge
itself defeated 10 a question with
which the President is not concerned.
He proposes that the government will
will maintain peace.
Whether this means closed coal
mines all over the state developments
will tell. It is reliably reported that
Secretary Garrison has orders to keep
the mines closed II they are to breed
trouble.
1t is recalled that Roosevelt during
the strike Of 1904 threatened to put
United States military forces to min
ing coal in Pennsylvania to supply
people II tho operators could not man
age to peaceably mine sufficient for
their needs.
The disarmfng proclamation OF the
secretary of war. 1t was explained at
the War Department. means exactly
what 1t says, namely. that only mill
tary forces OF the United States can
carry or maintain guns. This, as a
matter of course, would include the
state militia we're 1t not for the fact
that the government has requested
that body to be withdrawn as fast as
the federals take the field.
Secretary Garrison received volumi-
nous telegraphic reports from cavalry
commanders in various military dis
tricts in Colorado. The secretary
reads these dispatches and gives re-
turn orders In person. There is no
