THE COLORADO
ATROCITY
THE Public.


Perhaps the massacre of women and
children at Ludlow, Colorado, was nee
essary to preserve law and order, or
to protect property" If so it was a
price too outrageously high. Neither
law and order, - or protection of prop
erty' was worth it. But awful as the
occurrence was there may even be worse
to come. Naddened by the slaughter of
their wives and children the striking
miners are reported to be in practical re-
volt against the State. There can only
be one ending to such a situation. Then
when this inevitable result has happened
what will be done2 According to all
precedents there will be trials for muir
der. Those on trial will not be the guards
guilty of the massacre but those who re-
sisted them or who were maddened into
acts of violence against the constituted
authorities. Once again there will be
cant about "vindicating the majesty Of
the law and indefinite posponement of
consideration of the law created wrongs
that brought the trouble on. And then,
il precedent be followed further, there
will be borbarous, brutal, law-created
tragedy.

gram diu not give the names of his

might be offered. The only point in
controversy between the department

on the sale of the stock. The New
Haven directors have agreed not to
accent that condition. and Mr.. Nc
Reynolds is insisting that the cond
tion he accepted. The sale Is one OF
the governments demands. How the
committee expects to compose the diff
iiculty no official here to-day would
predict. II WAS certain, however that
the department will not agree to any
solution not providing that the Boston

CONDITION ~ NOT UNFAIR

President Wilson have taken the posi-
tion that the Massachusetts condition
is not unfair and does not violate the
dissolution agreement between the de-
partmcnt and the railroad.
