Denver, Dec. I'm /Dccembc
1912, John K. Lawson of the United
Mine Workers of America. notified
f. NJ. Ammons, then governor-elcct.
that a coal miners strike probably
would be called during his admins
tration. the governor testified today
before the United States industrial
relations commission.
The governor told of the enact
two years ago which he understood
was satisfactory to operators and mi
ners and hoped would be useful in
heading off strike. He told of nI-
merous conferences with operators
and union officials and of repeated
efforts to adjust differences.
Replying to a question from Chair
man Frank Walsh, the governor
stated that these efforts continued
long after the miners convention
at Trinidad had called strike.
Governor Ammons reiterated the
early history of the strike and the
sending of the state militia to south
ern Colorado 80 days after the min
crs walked out on September 90.
1913.
THE lawlessness began almost i'm
mediately," said the governor II
was urged to call out the troops
right away. Before the troops were
called out the county authorities in
Las Animas county had asked for
them"
Reverting to the futile efforts for
pesce. Governor, Ammons said:
"There never &as a3y dt1SSe efoh n
my mind hut that the strike could
have been settled but for the demand
for recognition Of the union
Governor Ammons said that at the
beginning of the strike he told lead
ers of both sides that the only thing
he could do was to assume an i'm
partial attitude and enforce the
laws.
"When you took the attitude Of
enforcing all the laws did it extend
to affording protection to the mine
operators in bringing in men to take
the strikers places?" he was asked.
"It did, but there were very few
men brought in
Governor Ammons then was ques-
toned regarding disagreements be-
tween the various state departments
on the subject of the strike. He ac-
cused state treasurer Rhoady Keno
han and Deputy Labor Commissioner
e. V. Brake of acting in opposition
to his policies.
II nave no more control over the
labor department of this state than I
have over the labor department of
the city of New York" he added.
Concluding his testimony, the gov
ernor urged the enactment of a me-
diatiDu law by congress.

putes could not be settled in the

the executive board of the interna-

The convention of the Colorado

That the robbers were familiar with
the room is evidenced. and 1t is said
that troopers calling for the military
mail have been in the habit of fra
qucnting the back part of the post
office.
The money was received late yes
terday. One theory is that the men
who did the job saw the money put
away in the drawer and planned the
robbery upon that knowledge. Cap
tain Willard in command of the fed
eral troops declared that every step
was being taken to accomplish the
arrest of all persons concerned in
the crime.
