Children Reported
Killed by Guards

Trinidad, Colo, April 22.-The dead
in the Ludlow district today as re-
suit of Mondays clash between strik
ing coal miners and militiamen was be-
lieved to total 50. A thorough investi-
cation of the situation was in progress
this afternoon.
Labor leaders here already have
named the affair "the slaughter of the
innOeents.D
The miners charge that the militia
men deliberately fired the tente |
colony at Ludlow, but this was EN-
-phatieally denied by the military
authorities.
FWe do not know how the fire
started" said Major HamrOck. Militia
men charge that the strikers fired the
first shot but this also is denied bv
the labor leaders.
John McLennan, district president
of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea, telegraphed today to the Red Cross
society at Denver to prepare to render
aid to the wounded.
In an official report to Adjutant
General John Chase, Hammock ad
mitted that 33 persons were known to
be dead.
Strikers crowded about union head
quarters here today and demaiaaed
guns.
''We want to avenge the deaths of
those innocent women and children at
Ludlowlv they shouled.
1t was believed that more than two
thirds of the dead are women anil
children.

of ruins today, but it still is revealing
additional horrors.
In holes dug under the tents foI
protection against the fire from rifles
and machine guns, women and children
were suffocated and cremated.
One pit was uncovered last night.
1t revealed the charred bodies of IL
children and two women.
In one place a baby was found with
a doll in its arms. IL another was
found a mother with babe elasped to
her breast Two children lay dead by
her side.
General Chase wired today to Gov
ernor Ammons, who is in Washington,
urging him to call a special session of
the legislature to deal with the situs-
tion.
A Denver train stopped at Lndlov
this morning and number of news
papers correspondents alighted. The
militia, commanded by Major Hamrock,
singled out Edward A. Evans, staff
correspondent of the Denver Express.
Hamrock said he was acting under
orders from Geneal Chase.
Your stories already have been
written" Hammock told Evans. Then
the correspondent was forced to re.
enter the car. The other newspaper
men were allowed to remain.
Acting Governor Fitzgerald and Cen
e-al Chase, in Denver last night, re.
fused to grant Evans pass to inspect
the smoking ruins of Ludlow's tented
colony. Chase then telegraphed Gen
eral Hamrock to deport Evans if he
tried to stop at Lud.cw

that he expected to call special
meeting of the G. A. R. post here for
the purpose of rendering their services
to President Wilson for relieving the

the Salem post numbered about llO

they could still give an excellent ac-
count of themselves.

The main purpose of Yesterdays

thought unlikely there would be any
serious trouble in occupying the rest
of the city.

The Mexican troops who remained
in the town were practically without

that the constitutions,lists will not
