Mr.. Frank S. Hoag Of the Pueblo
Star Journal gave a graphic descrip-

strife and turmoil which has torn
the state to pieces. He said that If

the wrong way It could cruelty a
commonwealth and do It untold harm

thousands OF dollars that commercial
and civic organizations OF the state
had spent IN advertising the scenic
beauties and climatic advantages OF
the state has been nullined to a
great extent by the Industrial strife
that had rent the fair state OF Col
orado asunder.
He said that he knew positively
that no big Industrial concerns lad
come to Colorado In the last six
eight months and that men of money
were not loking to Colorado for an
investment but were spending II In
other states where peace and quiet
and business activity reigned-
He said that BUSINESS men will no,
be harrassed In the conduct OF their
business and that In order to res
tore peace In business and to bring
back confidence in Colorado the
strike situation must be settled quick

to do 1t was through public senti
ment and that that would assert lts
self II the people of Colorado would
take a strong stand for law and or
