BLOODY DEED AT WALSENBURC;;
VIOLATION OF FLAG OF TRUCE

The handful OF troops that respond
ed to the order to return to thefield
whence the Governor had recalled
them had a busy week. How flags Of
truce and treaties were broken by Ia
bor leaders and their counsel makes
a story that is appalling in revelation
of moral turpitude.
On Monday, April 27, 1914. while in
command of the troops in Fremont
County. the Governor telephoned Gen.
eral Chase Information relative to an
attack on the McNalley mine at Wal.
senburg and directed the reinforce
ment of Troop E. which had been or.
dered on duty :or the protection of
life and property. Sixty men were
sent from Ludlow and twenty from
Denver, Captain F. F. Dowling being
In command. Both Captains Bowling
and Brooks reported during the day
of April %, 1914, that 1t would be
impossible without heavy loss Of life
to dislodge the rioters from the re-
gion north and west Of Walsenburg.
On April 20. 1914, 1926 additional men
we're sent from Ludlow under COM
mand OF Colonel Verdeckberg. The
troops were deployed into position,

patrolling had been done, a little after

WHO BROUGHT THE CREEKS
TO COLORADO COAL FIELDS?

coal operators brought the foreign
horde here which has caused so much

Of the Greeks-count 'em 16S-who
we're in the army that shot at the
National Guard at Ludlow. When
General Chase gave the order to vac
cinnte everybody in the colony 1853
Greeks had certificates handed them
at the port Of entry-New York or
Boston-showing they had been vac
cinated and all of these had reached
the United States since September
II, 1913. They didn't work day In
the coal mines of Colorado nor were
they hired to do SO. They were en-
ployed to become members of the
union because they are gunmen,
trained soldiers who fought in the
Balkan war. When General Chase
approached the colony each one Of
them touched the hat he wore, In
true military precision. Photographs
in General Chase's possession show
them standing with toes turned out
like soldiers and rifles held as only
soldiers hold them. Don't lay these

but who had eluded them. was later
found. MIR. Waddells home and
those OF others in the camp had been
burned to the ground. William Wad-
dell left Denver last week to find
work in a mine in another state. He
was superintendent for Mr.. Siple and

that awful day In Aguilar. The treat.

affidavit and deposition and shows the
malign nature of his captor's hearts.

old miners, none Of them mine
guards"-for he employed none
were In the mine fifty.two hours with
out food or drink other than the mine
water-the mine was terribly damp
and cold.
The Empire property is filling with
water. Siple and his associates were
hit hard, but they ask only a chance
under good government to rebuild and
once more operate the mine. They
have no connection with the Rookie
feller or other companies. Mr.. Siple
refused to discharge good men at the
dictation Of the union and his perse-
cution and loss of property was due
to the fact that he had no mine
guards" Properties having them
were not blown up. Only the arrival
Of the National Guard saved him and
his men from death by starvation.
