wives and children in the massacre
there were in our ranks. They'd told
the story of Ludlow, over and over
again. They'd told how the militia
men and the gunner, brought to Col
orado to kill for hire, had trained
their machine guns on the camp.
They'd heard how the tents were set
on fire, how the children screamed
7 and died in cruel flames!
i And they were determined to die
rather than let those militiamen
reach the camp back of WalsenbUrg.
We didn't do wrong. We didn't re-
sist officers of the law. We: resist
ed men who have preyed on us for
months, who have shot us down, who
have burned our camps-and who
have killed our women and children.
That's the awful part. =.
The battle started Monday after
noon when Rockefeller's army open
ed fire on my automobile between
TOltec and WalsenbUrg. Tuesday
the militia, men wearing the uniform
of the state of Colorado, but as much
in Rockefeller's employ as the gun
men, arrived IN WalSenburg. They
boosted they were going to take THE
Hogback" and wear ''Rednecks,''
their derisive name for the strikers,
as watch-charms. We heard of that;
we swore we would die rather than
give Rockefeller's mUrderers a
chance to turn their machine guns
on our women and children.
"The Hogback" is three miles long.
We held the top Of it. We only had
one hundred armed men there. They
crOuched behind the rocks. The posi-
ton was practically impregnable.
There were two hundred and fifty
militiamen. There were over one
hundred mine guards. They had nine
machine guns. We had the advant-
age of position, but they outnumber-
ed us, they had the machine guns,

They nred carefully, denDerately.
They didn't fire to frighten-but to
kill.
But they didn't shoot at those mill
tiament because the blood lust was in
their veins. They shot because the
memory of LudIoW was in their
minds. Is
Soon after the battle starter, Rock
efeIler's muTdereTs at the Walsen
mine turned their machine guns on
the city of Walsenburg. Two men
were killed there, while women and
children croUched in terror in the
Easements of their homes.
Such was the battle of Walsen-
burg, in which 300 strikers Wednes-
day defended their position on a hill
top against about 200 so-called mill
tiamen.
They tell me that one militiamen
and ten gunner were killed. It's too
bad-but they shouldn't be militia
men and gunner. They shouldn't be
working for greedy coal operators
against men and women and chill
dTen who are striking for bread.
It wouldn't be so bad if they
weren't working against the women
and children. The men can stand
their attacks. But when they kill
wives and mothers and babies-kiIl
them for hire-it's different.
/ never knew drawer or better men
than those miners. They're rough;
they're ignorant, but they're men.
They love their families.
And know that when they fought |
the militia at WaIsenburg it was sim |
ply to protect their families.
1t wasn't for revenge. 1t was from |
fear of another massacre.
The strikers under me occupied a |
position on a hill-'the Hogback."
One-half mile back of them was their
camp of Toltec, and stretching twelve
miles back of that were seven other

WILL NOT CONSTRUCT

WALK UNTIL SPRING
Wharf at Market Street BungIe !;
Slope Dressing Can Be
Continued

1t is probable that the granolithic
sidewalk along the river wall from a
point Immediately south of the Wal
nut street bridge to Maclay street will
not be constructed until next Spring
Owing to the filling in behind the wall
there is some fear that it might be
unwise to construct this walk owing
to the danger of depressions follow
ing settlement of the new-made
ground.
1t is believed, however, that the river
at high stage and the winter rains
will so pack the place between the
slope and the wall that better job
| Will be made next year. This walk
can be constructed within a month or
six weeks after the work shall have
been resumed. and meanwhile the
grading of the slope and the planting
can go forward without Interruption
All the filling that is necessary will
be made at once, so that the space
for the walk will be in proper condi-
tion next year.
What will be done regarding the
high embankment in front of the
pumping station has not yet been de-
| termined, but unless some sort of a
concrete wall is placed at that point
1t is almost certain to be q constant
nuisance owing to the swift current

There is great disappointment among
all who have been watching the prog

seems to have been entirely unneces-
sary, inasmuch as there is a similar
wharf at Paxton street, a short dis.
tance below. 1t is regarded as the
most serious bungle in the whole un-
dertaking.

BRICK COMPANY At
STEELTON TO QUIT
BUSINESS JAN. |
Closes Plant This Morning; As
Men Thrown Out of Employ
ment; Can't Get Clay

The Steelton and Harrisburg Brick
Company, one of the oldest manu-
featuring concerns in Steelton, closed
its plant this morning and announced
that it would go out of business about
January 1.
The companys plant is located
above Franklin street, between the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks and the
old Pennsylvania canal. Forty-five
men were employed here in the manu-
facture of a high grade red brick.
These men are all thrown out of en-
ployment.
The reason assigned for the liquida-
ton is that the supply of clay, eXca-
waited on a farm below Highspire, has
become exhausted. The company
still has a large stock of bricks on
hand and will go out of business just
as soon as these are sold. The COM
pany also conducts a large haul
ing business employing twenty-five
horses. This branch of the business
will be continued for some time.
Organized in 1896. the Steelton and
Harrisburg Brick Company succeeded
the Steelton Brick Company, one of
the oldest brickmal5ing plants in the
county. At one time the company op-
Grated four plants; one at Ninth and
Reilly streets, one at Seventeenth and
Herr streets, one at Nineteenth and
Derry streets, Harrisburg, and the
plant in Steelton. The local plant is
the last to be closed and the company
will now liquidate.

resentative voters in Steelton during

campaign there for years back. Even
a cold, drizzling mist which later
turned into steady rain failed to
dampen the ardor of the voters and
every seat in the thetaer was occupied.
Men crowded into the aisles and stood
lining the rear and sides throughout
the entire meeting.

and president of the school board, pre-
