as the strikers. contend that the at
titude of the guards and their pos
session of their guns while the strik-
ers had none, caused the entire trou-
bic in Colorado, they threaten to
ignore the order. -
A protest may be made to Wash
ingtOn against the disaTming of one
side in the bitter controversy with
out disarming the other.
At Walsenburg, the scene of the
most sanguinaTy fighting between
militia and strikers, Captain C. C.
Smith and IS men of Troop G, Second
U. S. Cavalry was in charge. Smith
held long conference during the
night, with Donald MacGregor and the
other strike leaders but no determine
ton regarding the disarming of min
ers was reached.
. The neutrality of the soldiers was
displayed at WalsenbUrg when Cap
tain Smith arrested six Colorado mill
tiamen against whom complaints had
been lodged by a salOOnkeeper, whose
place had been looted of fifty bottles
bottles OF WHISKY, 70 boxes OF cigars
and some personal effects.
There is generally a friendly feeling
between the strikers and regular sol
diers. Militiamen will be withdrawn
from this district at once.

RADIO field and this was the point
which the operators said was an eff
fective stumbling block to negotia-
tons.
"Now we are told that nineteen
operators have backed up RockefeI-
Ier's refusal to treat, even if we con-
sent. to waive the whole question of
union recognition. Does anybody
doubt that the attitude would have
been different had young Rockefeller
taken a different attitude on the mat
ter of arbitration"
The attitude of the operators was
set forth last night in long telegram
by 10 Colorado mine owners to Chair
man Potter of the mines committee
of the lower house of Congress. The
list of signeTs was headed by Jesse F.
WelboTn, president of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, which the
Rockefeller interests dominate. The
owners refused to consider arbitra-
ton even if the miners withdrew,their
union recognition demand.

have the demonstrations against
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., become as
a result of the Colorado mine strike
that a guard was established about
the house of the millionaire today.
His residence at 10 West Fifty-fourth
street is to be guarded day and night.
The mourning" picketing of the
Rockefeller and Standard Oil offices
at 26 Broadway was resumed today,
and even more extensive demonstra-
tons of protest are planned by Up

Jail sentence for having 'picketed"

Following the attempts of Marie
Cans, a radical public speaker, to
