Injustice aud wrongdOing.

My belief is that as regards the Colo
r2do Fuel aud Iron Company situation
u1 1Iv!l war has arisen. because injustice
tnf HrOu gdoiis on the side OF the cor
rordt,on have finally been met by violence
and wrougdoiug on the side OF the EN-
Noyees, What Is earnestly needed Is not
Mind and unlimited cha mpionship OF
G her side, but thoroughgoing control OF
both sides by the Government.
The real Importance OF the situation
Hes IN the udlsputable fact that for years
In" State Of Colorado, owing TO the NAL
administration of both the Republicans
and Democrats has been teaching the
Hns WORKERS disrespect, disregard and
contempt for law rather than regard for
and obedience to Il.
II has been the custom for quarter
of century IN Colorado, no matter which
iarn was In power. TO follow the same
course .a this matter. Whenever trouble
arose between the working men and en-
poyers, whenever the miners began to or
raniLe to support or enforce demands for
improved con1it!ons, the State whether IN
control Of a Republican or a Democratic
administration, theeupon surrendered its
right and duty TO enforce the law and
maintain orde-. II turned over this righ,
ana duty 20 the mining companies them
selves, Who thereupon imported into the
state or organized within the State crews
OF guumen and OF private detectives and
the Ike. organized them as guards around

warfare which such action inevitably pre-
cpltated"
