Affects All Workinemen.

Put the issue is not one OF merely local
importance. II affects every workingman
throughout this land. The fact that labor
unions represent but very small minor
ity OF the workers of the entire country
seems TO be lost sight OF by those who
urge the termination OF this local diff
Guilty at the price OF surrender TO union
domination. Surely, no thinking man
can ask, much less expect. that we viii
abandon our own employees and the cause
OF the workers of the entire country
because violence and Wholesale slaughter
are brought about by an element which
has como to regard itself as above and
beyond the reach OF the law.
Are the labor unions. representing a
small minority of the workers OF the
country, 10 be sustained in their dis
regard Of the inalienable right OF every
American citizen to work without inter
ference, whether he be union or a
non-unon man? Surely. the vast major
ity OF American citizens will, without
fear or favor. stand for even-handed JUS
tice under tho Constitution and equal
rights for every citizen.
grave matter which deserves more than
all else the attention OF the American
public in this crisis: whether the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company and the other
operators have been wholly FREQ from
blanc or not in the present controversy,
the issue now TO be decided is whether
the state. or. falling the state, the
nation. shall make good the constltu-
tonal guarantee OF law and order AT
tho present moment in Colorado funds
are being openly raised and citizens are
being armed with the avowed purpose OF
resisting tho authorities OF tho state.
Since that issue OF resistance 10 consti-
tuted authority is raised. IT is unthink-
able that the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, or any OF the companies oper-
ating I'm the state. should be asked 70
yield it's position on preliminary and
now extraneous matter Of dispute as the
price of securing tho withdrawal OF
forces armed to combat their own gov

Question Of Unionism.

In addition to tho above. the only mat
ter which has been raised by the union
is the unionizing OF the company's camps.

work on terms satisfactory TO himself

Position on Labor.

In order TO correct an impression which
seems TO have gained currency / desire
TO restate what was fully stated In the
Confessional examination, namely our
position with reference TO organized laoor'
We do not question the right OF any
workmen 10 freely associate themselves
In unions for the furtherance or their
common and legitimate interests. but we
do assert the equal right of an Individual
70 work independently OF union II ne
60 elects. We are contending against the
right of unions 10 impose themselves upon
an Industry by force. by assault and muir
der. and not against the right CT men 10
organize for their mutual benefit.
The impression has been created that II
we would agree TO submit to the unioniz-
ing OF the camps Of the Colorado Fuei
and Iron Company this entire trouole
would be ended. The public generally
does not seem TO consider whether or not
this Is n right or fair demand, and In the
interest Of the employees OF the company
as q whole. What would become or the
great majority of its workers were such
surrender 10 be made? All OF the loya!
non-union employees. numbering several
thousands, more than 90 per cent Of the
total number employed IN the mines. who
have been faithful and true to It's inter
este. would be thrown out Of employment
unless yelling to submit as individuals 10
union dictation. Is it the spirit of Ameri-
can fair play which is asking such ruth
, less disregard OF the interests of honest
men. or is it the spirit Of partlsanship and
self-sesking?

scented that it is impossible to convene

Whereas, The laws OF the United

Take No Sides.

IT shall not, by tho use Of the troops,
or by any attempt at jurisdiction. inject
the power OF the federal government into
the controversy which has produced the
present situation. The settlement Of that
controversy falls strictly within the field
of state power.
MY duty, as I now see II, is TO conflne
myself TO maintaining q status OF good
order until the state can reassert its au-
thoritv and resume the enforcement
thereof.
- am informed that your Legislature
cannot be convened in time 10 deal with
this emergency, but has been summoned
to convene on May 4. 1914.
81 shall expect you TO draw the atten-
ton OF that body TO the imperative ne
cessity of immediate consideration OF the
whole situation and as prompt action as
Is possible IN the premises in order that
the use Of the federal power may be
limited within its contemplated confines
and I'm order that the state may take up
its duty as soon as It is possible for It to
do so.
THE manifest disadvantage OF having
two military forces. under separate
sources OF control. operating within the
same localities, leads me 10 request you
10 withdraw your militia as soon as the
troops Of the United States have reached
the sceno and are ready to take over the
necessary control"

Let Miners Choose Them.

Third-Check weighmen. For several
years the fuel company has raised no
objection to tho employment by the
miners Of their own check weighmen, as
is done IN Eastern mines where union
labor is employed. In order that new
men might understand their right in
this matter the officers of tho company
gave Instructions that circulars should
be posted in all the Mines stating that
the company had always encouraged its
miners to employ their own check weigh
men.
Fourth-Company stores. II has been
charged that the employees OF the fuel
company are obliged to buy at the COM
pany's stores The storekeepers are I'M
der strict instructions TO say to all that
they are at liberty to trade where they
please; that the company is glad of their
patronage. but that their standing Will
not be affected one way or the other by
their action in the matter As "A result
OF study made in one OF the mining
camps Of the company it was found that
only p per cent of the wages Of the men
was spent in the company's stores.
Fifth-Wages. In spite of the fact that
no dividends have been paid on the com
mon stock of the company since our con-
nection with it-a matter of al least ten
or twelve years-and only $4,000 has been
paid on the preferred stock. OF which the
greater portion represented payment on
account OF an accrued dividend which
had accumulated during many years. the
company voluntarily increased the wages
of its miners last year by total amount
ing 10 $1,000 a year and of its steel EN-
ployes by a total OF $4,000 a year. The
wage scale compares favorably with that
OF any similar mines. whether union or
non-union. in any part Of the country.

John D. Rockefeller jr., from the
Standard Oil Company's Offices. 20
Broadway, yesterday made public the
position Of himself and the Rockefeller
interests in the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company war with union miners.
After Representative Foster had seen
Rockefeller on Monday 1t was an
nounced at % Broadway that Rookie
Teller had no statement to make. The
statement issued yesterday seeks to
correct what Rockefeller asserts was
inaccurate" reporting in the press.
The statement Of yesterday reiterates
the opinions expressed by Rockefeller
before Congressional committee
against the unionist ideas, declares
again for the open shop. and intimates
that partisan zeal may have inspired
President Wilson or his emissary,
Representative Foster.
The statement is as follows:
In view OF the inaccurate accounts
which have appeared in the press regard
ing my interview yesterday with Con-
gresham Foster. chairman Of the Com
mittee OF Mines and Mining, think II
proper to make the following statement:
In that interview, at which Mr.. Starr
J. Murphy, one Of the directors OF the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, was
present, We pointed out TO Dr. Foster
that Of the many coal companies IN
Southern Colorado We were interested
solely and as minority stockholders In
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
which controls only about one-third OF
the output OF that state. After long
and full discussion Of the question In all
its aspects DR.. Foster was unable to
make any suggestion which did not in
, volve the unionizing Of the mines or the
submission Of that question to arbitra-
ton. We stated to him that II the en-
ployes of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company had any grievances We felt
sure that the officers OF the company
would be willing now. as they have al
ways been in the past, TO make every
effort to adjust them satisfactorily. We
showed the doctor that all Of the points
which are claimed 10 be at issue, with
the exception OF unionizing the camps.
/ the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company had
voluntarily granted TO its employees long
/ before the etrike was called or talked of.
These points are:
First-The- eight-hour day. This was
established by the fuel company for ell
Of its coal. miners some time ago.
Second-Semi-monthly pay When this
question was raised by one or two
miners in one OF the camps Of the com
pany the officers at once studied the
question and without delay decided TO
pay not only the miners In that particu-
lar camp twice a month but all OF the
miners employed by the company.
