THE REAL WAR
rs IN COLORADO
Big Battle on Sunday In Which the
Dead are Reported From
Four to Thirty,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CANON CITY, Colo, April 81
With rumors OF heavy fatalities being
circulated here, coal mine strikers to-
day were entr enching at the Chandler
mine of the Victor-American Fuel Co.,
which they captured late Sunday after
a fierce battle with mine guards. Re-
ports from the scene are conflicting.
Estimates of the dead vary from four
to thirty. It is impossible to get an
estimate Of the wounded. Men re-
ported dead are: Chas. King, mine
guard; John Thomas, mine engineer;
Robt. Prince, son of the marshal OF
Chandler; Chas. Din1ch, saloon keep
or.
Between 500 and 1000 armed strik-
ers occupied the mine and the camp
late Sunday, rushing In from the sur
rounding hills after the mine guards
and strike breakers had fed. 1t Is
impossible to ascertain definitely what
events are transporting there, as wires
have been cut.
The strikers are known to be heav-
lily armed and plentiful1y supplied
with ammunition and are said to be
ready to give battle to state troops
under General Chase when they ar
rive today.
1t is believed the strikers dynamit'
ed a part of the Chandler camp and
mine after capturing party OF
guards. Heavy explosions were heard
during the night near the Royal
Gorge mine and it was rumored
| fight betw zen strikers and guards at
that point was also proceeding. A
party Of mine guards from Chandler
arrived today. They charged that
strikers used a flag Of truce to ad
vance to a point in the hills where
they could pour in heavy fire. They
also asserted the strikers wore Rec
Cross badges on their arms.
Nose Art Lewis, pit boss Of the
| mine, says the guards fed only wher
| their ammunition was exhausted. HI
declared eight guards are still miss
ing and that he is confident some o
the strikers were slain in the fight

all of the details Of the killing Oh
women, children, striking miners and
mine guards have been brought to
the presidents personal attention.
The charges OF union officials OF the
Colorado district that the national
guard Of Colorado has been seized
by the mine owners and filled with
prof sssional gunner to extermlnate
the strikers, have also been empha'
sized. Most of the kilograms rece1v-
ed at the white house follow the
same general line. One signed by
the mayor and committee named by
a mass meeting held in Colorado
Springs, Colo, said that men OF both
sides have ruthlessly killed women
and children and concluded: In the
name Of religion and humanity, you
must act; rush federal troops and END
this terrible reign of crime
S. S. Tavitt, wiring from Greedy,
Colo, said: Women and children
have been moved down by machine
guns For Gods sake end this out
rage"
The officials of the Colorado state
federation of labor and OF local
unions everywhere in Colorado wired
their demands for action. They &C
cuse the state officials Of countenanc-
| ing the most lawless acts and say
that the local authorities in the strike
zone are carrying out the will OF the
mine owners.

Colorado through their general mana

the blame for all of the trouble on

best possible way, in fact the only
practicable way, to make this conn

make it more populous; we must
have more people right here to
consume what we produce and sell.
So far as the wealth and prosperity
of the community are concerned.
they will be promoted as directly
by the purchase and consumption
of what is sold as by the consump-
