THE STORY OF LUDLOW
TOLD FOR THE FIRST time

The fighting at Ludlow lasted from
early Monday morning, April 20, until
late Friday evening, April "a, at
which time General Chase arrived
with the reinforcements and a truce
was declared. Monday morning, a
few minutes after eight o'clock, a let
ter was presented at headquarters at
Ludlow by woman of foreign nation
ality, asking that her husband be
gotten out of the tent colony. Many
times previous to this various people
had been taken out of the tent colony
by troops stationed at or near Lud-
low. The Corporal, Patten, in charge
of the train detail was sent to the
Ludlow tent colony to get this man
and in the Ludlow tent colony was
told that there was no such man in
the colony. Returning he informed
Major Hamrock of this. Major Ham

men were able to get across the Hast

the c. & s. E. Major Hamrock not
being able to get General Chase on
the long distance from military head
quarters, as the line had been cut,
succeeded in getting General Chase
shortly after one o'clock at the office
of the Cedar Hill Coal & Coke Com
pany near Ramey. He was notified
by General Chase that reinforcements
would come out during the afternoon
from Trinidad with more ammunition.
Captain T. c. Linderfelt and Lieu
tenant r. J. Lnderfelt, having ar
rived about noon, were left in COM
mand at the Ludlow station by Lieu
tenant X. e. Linderfelt who returned
to Water Tank Hill, Lieutenant Bige-
low being sent to work with Captain
T. c. Linderfelt by orders Of Major
Hamrock.
Several times during the afternoon

Captain T. G. Linderfelt, aided by
Lieutenants r. J. Linderfelt and Bige-
low, were able to push their way

leaders," He ordered out infantry

property. A long time after that
there were arrests of men made for
these acts of arson, but 1t was only
because the postotiice at the South
western mine was destroyed at the
same time and the federal authorities
acted. The district attorney Of Las
Animas county, either through fear
or from his strike sympathies. had
neglected to do anything. The South

surance of lawson and others that
they would disarm their followers as
soon as the mine guards were dis
armed, proceeded to disarm the lat
ter. This was easily done, as he
says in his able report Upon the

their employers and promptly turned
over the high powered rifles" And
he adds: II carried DISARMAMENT
ON with respect to the mine guards
and the employees of the operating
companies in every camp throughout
the entire strike zone, and speedily
and easily finished the complete dis

Chase was promised specially by
Lawson that the strikers would now
surrender their arms. Troops were
marched to Ludlow-the largest tent
colony In the strike district-and they
were received with open arms, but

continues: "Eany Of the men were
