Denver, April 24.-Thirteen dead,
scores injured, the Ludlow strikers
tent colony burned and hundreds OF
women and children homeless, was
the result upAo midnight of one of the
bloodiest battles in labor warfare ever
waged in the West.
Four hundred striking miners were
intrenched in the hills back of Ludlow
this morning awaiting daylight to
wipe out 1T members of the State Ma,
tional Guard with whom they fought
for fourteen hours yesterday.
The known dead are: Private A..
Martin of Company A, Denver; Louis
Tikas, leader of Greek strikers at Lud.
low, formerly of Denver
+ Injured: Private Lewis Purcell.
Colorado Springs.
Eleven unknown strikers are de.
clared to have been killed, and one

early hour this morning. ,.s
For three hours late last night
strike leaders say the militia swept
the hills where the union men were
intrenched, with six machine guns.
Throughout the day blasting fire
swept Ludlow. Bullets rained on the
railroad station. Shortly after six
o'clock last night flames swept
through the tent colony and women
and children ran screaming to the
station, where they crouched on the
floor.
Two women and child, union men
say, were killed in the dash from the
tent colony by the soldiers bullets.
This has not been confirmed.
From Trinidad and Walsenburg and
Lamar all the available troops are be-
ing rushed to Ludlow. Renewed fight
ing surprising that of yesterday is ex-
pected. Residents Of all the nearby
towns and camps are panic-stricken.
Efforts of. sheriffs and deputies to
get to the scene were unavailing. No
one would venture near Ludlow by
automobile or any other conveyance.
At Trinidad, fifteen miles away, citi-
zens barricaded themselves in their
homes. The streets, were deserted.
According to reports, the battle be.
gan yesterday morning at 7:30. Firing
above Cedar Hill attracted the sol.
diers and. Lieutenant Linderffelt OF
Cripple Creek with a detachment OF
sixteen of the men stationed at Lud.
low was sent out to investigate.
He was cut off by the blaze of the
strikers. and with his men took up a
position on Water Tank hill and be.
gan returning the fire.
Throughout the day the fighting
ragged over an area Of three square
miles, district bounded on the west
by Berwind and Hastings, Barnes sta
tion on the east, the Ludlow colony
on the: north, and Raneyville on the
south.
Fifty members of the newly organ
lied Troop A were called out and sent
aboard a special. Trainmen, when
they heard of the battle, refused to
pull the. train. An hours delay fol
lowed.

UNEMPLOYMENTIS
CAUSE OF POVERTY
StatiStician CroSkey Talks at
Boulder Conference
Sociological Congress Hears About State
Free Employment Bureau and Effect
Of immigration on Labor

Statistician r. T. Croskey of the state
labor department addressed the Soeio-
logical Congress being held this week at
the State University at Boulder on Mon
day. His subject was Unemployment.
Among other things he said statistics
showed that the chief immediate cause
OF dire poverty is unemployment; it i
the forerunner of more crime and in
Temperance than any other one cause.
Drunkenness often is caused by unem-
ployment: II man can often get n drink
when lie cannot obtain food. and in the
natural trend OF events we find him
committing some crime to Obtain the
means OF livelihood.
During the years l9lll2 in the three
state free employment offices located at
Denver. Colorado Springs and Pueblo,
there were registered 50.93l applications
for positions. of which 30,1s5 were sue
cesstul in obtaining work, OF these 30
629 We're men. of whom 2l $50 obtained
jobs. while | 1902 Were women and OF
this number 9.l35 obtained work. The
significance of these figures is found in
the difference between the percentage OF
women applicants who found work to
that of the men. These figures show
that approximately s0.5 per cent of the
women obtained work while only 5i.5
per cent of the men were able to do so.
One of the causes of unemployment in
this country is alien immigration from
southern Europe. The old order of
things has changed. InstSad of imm-
grants coming here to make their homes,
as was formerly the rule, we find that
of the influx of these men mostly mem
from southern Europe one-half of the
number yearly. or over 100000, return
to their European homes to live. In one
year, and in fact every year, there is
over Sl50.00O,O00 sent through the i'm.
migrant banks to Europe Thus these
people take out of the country every
year wealth which, if spent in this eoun-
try, would be the means OF giving en-
ployment to thousands OF working peo
pie.
The average yearly earnings of these
people has been 1896, yet these men
have lived under such conditions that
they have saved this enormous sum from
their scanty earnings; they cut their ex-
pen-es to the very lowest point. Their
mode of life is far below the American
standard; far below any desirable stand
ard.
The great corporations prefer to en-
ploy these people because they are more
docile to abuses heaped up them, and
when we find these same corporations
prating about ignorant foreigners ard of
fake law and order it is only natural
and right to inquire who brought these
men here and for what purpose were
they brought here. Answering it. Mr..
Croskey said that they We're brought
here to supplant American labor and to
debase and degrade it.

FATHER O'HARA CONDEMNS
BIG INDUSTRIAL PARASITES
MUST QUIT GAINING SUBSIDY
THROUGH WOMEN EMPLOYEES.
Mothers of Future Generation Shall Not
Be Sacrificed to Industrial Gain in
Oregon, Asserts Board Chairman.

While the Colorado women's minimum
wage commission is waterlogged over
who shall be secretary and receive a
salary of 800 per month other state
boards are going right ahead, accom-
plishing something for the women bread
winners.
Father OTIara is the chairman of the
industrial welfare commission of the
state of Oregon. This commission is
charged with the administration of the
new law of that state for the establish
ment of minimum wages for women
workers.
The spirit in which the commission
has entered its work is shown in this
statement by Father O'Hara:
s.An industry which does not pay its
employees enough to cover their neces-
sary living is parasite on the homes
of the poor and is subsidized by its en-
ployes If any industry is so important
to the community as to deserve to be
sustained by n subsidy such a subsidy
should come from some other source
than its working girls"
The Oregon statute does not in itself
q the minimum wages. 1t empowers
the commission to fix them, with re-
gard to the facts and the surrounding
conditions of each industry.
Several lawsuits contesting the rules
of the commission and attacking the va
ldity of the statute have been decided
by the trial judge in favor of the law
and of the commissions rules in that
case.
Concerning this litigation Father
O'Ifara says:
, "The principle on which the act is
based is that the welfare of women must
take precedence over any commercial
consideration. The mothers OF the fu-
ture generation should not be sacrificed
to industrial gain. This is the first
time the question has ever been taken
into the courts in this country, but sim
liar measures have been in effect in
Europe and Australia for many years."
The trial judge ruled that as "the
law regulating the number of hours of
labor for women anad minors is within
the police power and constitutional" 30
"a law fixing minimum wage is with
In the police power"

Assembly Plan Rather Vague.

Assembly flan Aatner vague
President Walker stated that the
league had already begun the circula-
tion OF petitions for charter amend
ment election providing for a city owned
and operated plant with automatic de-
vices and system of flat rates named
in the amendment.
The Assembiy's plan reported by Judge
Mullin as being favored by majority
OF the Legislative Committee voting was
for s3,O0O,OOO bond issue with interest
not to exceed AZ per cent, Commissioner
of improvements Hunter to construct
and operate the plant. subject TO gen
cral supervision of the city coupcil.
The Assembly plan further provided
that the system to be used and rates
should he left to after consideration.
Nothing was said to wages or work
ing conditions.
The league plan provides for $4,000
three members to supervise construc-
tion and operation of the plant.
When the Assembly by the action TAX
en- Sunday washed its hands of the fight
now on between the two companis it
was specifically stated by delegates so
voting that this would in no measure
weaken the Assembly's repeated declara-
tions in favor of municipality owned
phones, and that support would be given
any honest movement with this in view.
Many delegates declared they would in
future strive to keep such corporation
matters out of the Assembly, so that
the way would be clear for considera-
ton OF such subjects as affect directly
the interests of the workers.
