Senator Patterson Blames
Coal Barons For Violence

the best known men in the entire west
and a coal operator, severely censured
both the state militia for the terrible
loss of life and property since the
strike began.
He also said that he firmly believed
that If the operators had granted thei1
men a conference, the strike would
have been settled in October, 1913,
one month after it Began.
The tyrannies Of the militia in the
strike zone during the 1904 strike were
wildly portrayed by the senator, who
told of an experience in Cripple Creek,
when, after the judge in a civil court
had released several men, the military
Immediately took possession OF the
court room and held them in custody.
After questioning one of the wit
nesses. Commissioner Harris Vein
stock said: at seems 20 me that II
the people Of Colorado want to mini
mlze industrial unrest, they should I'M
mediately enact a workmen's compen-
sation law. Industrial accidents, we
have found, are one Of the greatest
causes Of unrest and poverty.
State Coal Mine Inspector James
Dalrymple told the committee that
there was no logical excuse for the
fact that from three to ten times as
many men were murdered in COLORADO
mines as the average for the entire
United States.
w. w. Curtiss, union operator, told
the committe of the success OF run,
ming an organized mine, bringing OUT
the point that the non-un1on NINE was
to, the advantage of the operator only
since he could treat his employe as
he wished, regardless Of the miners
!. G. Osgeod, one Of the big three
operators, substantiated this state
lnent when he testified that he would
run his mine as he saw fit, regard
less of the interests of anyone else
and that when he could not, he Woulo
quit.

Representatives of the brother
hoods in this connection unofficially
explained that the controlling reason
for the railroads acting in this manner
is their fear of having to pay large
damages in case of accidents. That
is, If board Of inquiry can show that
an employe or an outsider was respon-
sible for an accident, the company
going into court would have a better
chance to obtain a favorable verdict
and thus elude large damages.

And all the power of ill-made gain

Low Wages.
From investigations made in seven
teen Western cities among eforty-six

No. s. also produced by President Car

Young engineers, thosaaipst promot-
ed from the ranks Of fremens anc
tyro fremen earn very little during
their first years of service. This was
brought out in exhibit No 8 by Mr..
Carter on the witness stand. It was
shown that in the last few years, out
of 1888 promoted engineers, 2,249, or
54.88 per cent, earned less than $4,000
during the months they worked, and
LOGS, or p6.06 per cent, earned more
than an average of $4,000 a month.
AS fODfremen, many try their luck at
the game and find it too arduous to
continue. Of 23,919 firemen, 1876, or
1900 per cent, earned less than $4,000
a month during their working period !;
that 2,423, OF. 1918 per cent, made as
high as $4,000 month
Furthermore, the younger engineers
during dull seasons OF because of the
installation of heavier locomotives,
which displace many lighter engines,
are forced to go back to the labor of
firing, which means not only harder
work for the engineers but dismissal
from the service of regular fremen.
