Strike Breakers Produce Only
sc. Per Cent Of Regular Output

Denver, Colo, Feb. 18.-(Spl)-
mo better attest of the success of
the coal strike could be had than the
operators own figures furnished the
state coal mine inspector for Decem-
Der which show that the production
of coal in the strike zone was only 80
per cent, of the tonnage taken from
these same mines in December, 1872"
said John r. Lawson, National Board
Member of District Is.
Probably the most surprising thing
about the operators figures is the
fact that they absolutely prove that
former newspaper statements made
by them were absolutely false.
Every scheme possible was used
by the operators during the latter
part of November to get scabs into
the state. Hundreds of men were
brought from the east on the promise
that they were to work in a mine
near Denver where there were no la
Dor troubles.
Another large bunch of men were
brought from Joplin, Missouri, on the
pretence that they were buying 20
acres Of land in the San Luis valley
near Alamosa and then taken under
military protection into the Delagua
mine several hundred miles away.
with the aid of militia and hun
dreds of murderous mine guards

mines against their protests. At Ter

that production would be normal for
the month of December. Throughout
the month they repeated these state,
ments and said that SO far as they
were concerned the strike was brok-
en-.
when, in the middle of December
they were unable to produce enough
coal to supply the penal institutions
of the state and were forced to lease
a mine to the state to produce its
own coal, they made no effort to ex-
plain the shortage.
Those citizens who have had any
doubts about the success of the coal
strike can find excellent. food for
thought in the figures for December.
The non-union mines of Las ADli-
mas county produced 120,188 tons of
coal in December 1913 as against
399,348 tons in the same month of
1912.
"Huerfano county's non-union mines
produced 69,O46 tons last month as
against 173,474 tons in the same
month of 1912.
Fremont county's non-union mines
produced 1856 tons Of coal in De
cember 1913. The production in De
cember, 1912, was 81,471.
while the low production of the
non-union mines is encouraging, the
operators figures also prove the eff
ficiency of union labor. Five union
mines in 81 Paso county produced
26,319 tons of coal in December. 1913
as against 23,657 tons in December
1912.

100000 Men on
Strike in London

thousand union men employed in the
building trade in London laid down
their tools for the weekend holiday
today and eelare that they would not
resume work until the employers
withdrew their demand for the open
shop" principle.
The employers yesterday threatened
the men with lockout unless the
union men signed an agreement to
work without question with non
union workmen. The union leaders
refused to comply with the en-
ployers' demand and parted with the
threat of an immediate strike

two cents a ton for loading coal. They
were receiving eighteen cents a ton
Their absence from work had not
been generally noticed, as the

Today the pinch was felt and many
residents decided to follow the recent
example of the citizens of Leeds who,
during the strike of municipal street
sweepers, gas, electricity and water
employees, voluntarily carried on the
work until the strike was broken.

Deputy Sheriff Will Face
Assault and Battery Charge

AS a sequence to the trouble be-
tween Rev. Edward Lowans. a pro-
baton officer. and Dudley Hoyt, a
deputy sheriff, of "a Brighton ave-
nue., East Orange. who was stripped
of his badge following an allegation
of Mr.. Lowans that he interfered
with him when he was attempting
to apprehend youth near Hoyts
home early in the week, the latter
will face a charge of assault and
battery in East Orange Police Court
next Tuesday morning.
Probation Officer John j. Gascoyne
took the case up with Recorder Fran
els A. Mott, jr., this morning, and
after the former declared that Hoyt
pressed his gun against the side of
Mr. Lowanss body, the magistrate
directed that the erstwhile deputy
be ordered to appear before him. 1t is
probable two charges will be pre-
ferred against Hoyt for interference
and assault. Mr.. Lowans fired three
shots when pursuing the youth and
Hoyt, who heard the firing, Is alleged
to have stopped the former minister
and ordered him into his home at
the point of gun while Hoyt's
mother 'phoned for the police. Hoyt's
explanation of the affair is that the
officer did not make know his identity
and that he would not explain his
mission in the yard or why he had
exploded the shots.
