STRIKERS CONCEAL WEAPONS
Commanding Officer Talks Plainly to
Miners at Mass Meeting-Unions
Ask State to Run Mines.

Trinidad, Col.-The program of dis
armament of contending factions in
the southern Colorado strike zone
was practically announced by Major
w. A. Holbrook, in behalf of Col.
James Lockett, commanding the
United States troops in the district
Mine company officials were mott
fed that the disarmlng of their guards
would begin at once and they replied
that their men were ready to surren-
der arms just as soon as they had re-
ceived actual physical protection by
the presence of federal troops on COM
pany property. Accordingly detach-
ments were placed at various mines
and arrangements were made to send
troops to others.
When the guns have been secured
from the mine guards, the command
issue a proclamation calling upon in
dividual strikers and citizens of Trini-
dad to deliver their weapons to the
federal authorities and then police
and county officers will be disarmed.
H&d New Arms Coming.
William Diamond, union leader,
speaking to a meeting of strikers at
StarksYiIle, said shipment of 800
high power rifles and $4,000 rounds
Of ammunition on the way from New
York to the United Mine Workers of
America would be turned over to the
federal troops Immediately upon the
arrival of the consignment.
The strikers themselves, neither at
Starkville nor at the San Rafael
camp, gave any indication of their in
tentions to give up their arms. Major
Holbrook, who addressed both meet
ings, declared plainly it was his belief
that the strikers already had con-
ceaIed some of their weapons, and
called upon them as true citizens Of
the United States to procure them and
bring them to the place which later
viii be designated as q depository for
them.

ITALY READY FOR WAR.
Expected to Take Action Against
Germany and Austria Soon.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22-Otlicial dis
patches received here Indicate that the
Italian government has practically com
pIctcd its plans to declare war on Ger
many and Austria.
This act of revolt against the triple al
lance, it IS believed in official circles here,
will not long be delayed.
1t was rumored at the state department
that King Victor Emmanuel has notified
his diplomatic and consular officers in the
United States to issue call for all ltal-
ian rcservists to return home Immediately.
This rumor was denied at the Italian
embassy, but the, denial was not a strong
one and it was stated that no such call
has been issued vet.
The state department Is advised in pri-
vate dispatches from Rome that mobiliza
ton is now in progress throughout Italy
Similar information has been received by
the relief board and it is most disconcert
ing to the plans for the bringing home OF
American refugees in Italy, Switzerland
and Southern Germany.
