''We find the following conclu-
sions: -
81. That the strike that has caus-
ed such a loss of life and such great
losses of money to the people Of
Michigan and the United States was
entirely unnecessary and due WIDELY
to the unreasonable and overbearing
attitude of the mining companies.
"2. That the employment of
militia was entirely unnecessary,
worked infinite harm and did no
good, while the use of private guards
to supersede, with their rifles and
drunken whims, the constituted au-
thorities, has been most clearly dem
onstrated to be a great, perilous and
intolerable evil.
1--WE feel that we ought to add our
conviction that it was within the
power of the governor of Michigan
to end this lamentable conflict, if he
had earnestly sought to do so. At the
time of our visit; nothing was needed
to secure the return of the men to
the mines but the recognition of the
miners union. A demand so moder-
ate, so reasonable, and so much to
the advantage of the community,
could hardly have been resisted, if
the governor had seen fit to add to it
his approval We profoundly regret
that he did not take advantage of so
great an opportunity to serve his
times, further the cause of Justice,
and advance the condition of the
working class.
