Bishop Brewster Hopes for Agreement
of Peace Between Miners and
Operators in Near Future

| He did not make it a condition that
the union should be recognized by the
operators The three year truce plan
left many questions open so that the
public could feel the pulse OF the sit
uation. 1t seemed in every way a fair
and equitable plan for reaching some
compromise. 1t is most NJ grettable that
IT should have failed OF It's purpose.
1T should be noted that many OF
the inen now on strike were themselves
| brought in about ten years ago by the
operators to- break a strike then exist
| ing. Foreigners from Europe very
| largely, they knew little OF American
conditions and no thought Of organiza-
! tion occurred to them for come time.
II was inevitable, however, that hav-
ing become influenced by American
standards of living they should sooner
or later see the value of organization.
MANY who have not affiliated openly
with the United Mine Workers have
nevertheless secretly sympathzed with
the purpose of that union. Although
| by statute the right OF organization
exists in Colorado IL is fair to say that
the powerful influence of the operators
and their subordinates in control OF the
mines has been inimicable to any effec-
| tive Organization. And In particular
the United Mine Workers is the Or
ganization that has met with the utmost
dsfavor on the part of the powers in
control"

TIME appointment by President
Wilson OF "A commission to look
i into conditions In the mining
regions OF Colorado has served
TO renew public interest in the contro-
Tervy between the striking miners and
the operators of that State. The
struggle, which amounts almost to civil
war has been waged for months with
extreme bitterness on both sides.
II will be recalled that. following an
open battle between the State troops
and the strikers. in which several
women and children we're killed. a COM

lowing September by the President The

with the striking miners. and have con-
tinued SO throughout this deplorahe
struggle.
II had hoped great things from prcsi-
dent Wilson's earlier proposal for adj
justing this quarrel. 1t seemed To me
ina; there was soma common ground
upon which the operators and the
strikers could meet and adjust their
Observation-Disclosures. Approached in a
broad spirit the difficulties should not
be insurmountable.
~ know that the labor leaders were not
wholly satisfied with the Presidents
propositions. but they felt that they
should make concessions and were WILL
ing to do 80 as a patriotic duty. The
plan of a three years truce offered
considerable lceway. And ! was there

made by the operators in rejecting the
Presidents suggestion. | have felt all
along that II representatives OF both
parties could sit down at the same table
and talk the question OUT In n liberal
spirit some solution would I've found.
The Presidents latest suggestion Is
promising. Judging from the high
character Of he men who compose the
new commission I may say that I feel
some hope of a successful Issue. But
II remains to be seen II the operators
will be willing 10 yield anything in this
dispute to the workmen.
1T will be recalled that President
Wilson. in his earlier proposal. did not
assume to settle the questions at issue.

MANY CHILDREN SUFFER
FROM KIDNEY TROUBLE

Three years ago my little girl, An
fever and later dropsy set in; her
face and limbs swelled and her eyes
puffed. A leading physician here at
the time, treated her without the
slightest success. A sample of your
Swamp-Root having been left at the
house at the time, l resolved to try
1t, and as it agreed with her stomach,
l continued using 1T with grateful
results. The Inflammation began to
subside after she had taken the first
tifty-cent bottle, and after she took
two large bottles she was pronounced
cured by the doctor and has been in
good health ever since The doctor
came to see her every second day un-
til he pronounced her kidneys in per-
feet condition. Es &5E~s. = AE2
Now then the doctor was under
the impression that 1 was giving my
girl his medicine, but as his medi-
cine had failed to do a hit of good,
and desiring not to offend him, I did
not tell him I was giving her Swamp
Root and he did not know the diff
ference. I did not use one drop of
his medicine after I had started my
girl on Swamp-Root, and I have al
ways felt hat DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root saved my girls life, for which
