Special Convention in Trinidad
Places Industrial Peace Up
to Meeting of Operators

Just one year to the day from the
date the United Mine Workers of Dis
trict 10 met in Trinidad to take strike
action, another convention assembled in
the same city TO consider the peace plan
proposed by President Woodrow Wilson.
On September Is, 1918, delegates from
all the mining camps in Colorado, whose
demands for enforcement of state min
ing and labor laws and humane work
ing conditions had been ignored by the
operators and state officials, met to take
action. which on the following day re-
suited in adoption of a strike order to
take effect September %. On that date

in Trinidad a convention composed of
delegates from each mining camp in
the state TO act upon proposition sub

States providing a three-year truce and
enforcement OF state mining and labor
laws by federal commission, and on the

Operators Convene in Denver
In response to call issued by Jesse
T. welborn, president OF the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company, all operators in
snfa ha viz
the United Mine Workers are meeting
in Denver today Saturday for the
purpose of considering and taking ac-
tion on President Wilson's peace pro
posal. which was submitted at the same
time to the strikers and employing op-
orators. No intination has been given
out OF tire probable conclusion of the
operators, hut the feeling is general that
they cannot afford TO do other than
abide the terms laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson. One point strenuously OBJ
jcc,ed to Is that requiring all miners
employed Mt time OF strike one year
ago must be taken back to work, pro-
vidcd they have not in the meantime
been found guilty OF violstions of the
law. II former place of work is not
open, such miner must be employed at
some other mine operated by the same
company.
Realizing that their discharge is near
at hand. scores of imported strikebreak
crs have flocascd from the mines to Den
yer this week, and are appealing TO
company officials and labor agencies for
transports tion out of the state.
Should the operators refuse TO adopt
the proposed peace plan, President VII,
son will no doubt push the matter fur
ther. even so far as ordering the fed
eral troops now in Colorado TO take pos
session of the mines until such time AZ
the Rockefeller agents agree to the truce
