to Sopris of his own accord to seek
work, denied admission to the mines

an experienced coal miner, is now
destitute with his wife and six chill

number of his friends received
threatening letters after the begin
ming of the strike and that in the
month of November two houses close
to his in Primero were fired into:
that he was afraid if he staid there
he or some of his family might be
killed. He says he was making big
