lhe United Mine W Workers OF District
10 are getting busy in campaign of
education, and are going to put the real
facts pertaining to the coal strike situa-
tion before the people of the state and
nation. The operators have been busy
for weeks along similar lines, in the
main misleading. There is no doubt
but the publicly policy the Mine Work.
ers propose to follow will prove OF in
calculable benefit. In addition to ad-
vertisements they are running in some
Colorado papers, bulletins, attractive in
appearance, excellently written and to
the point, will be issued from time to
time. The first one came out this week,
and referring to the matter, the follow
ing explanatory note was issued:
Since the strike of the Colorado coal
miners began on September %, 1913. the
coal operators and other interests have
seen lit to attack the United Mine
Workers OF America. To any contro-
versy that calls for explanation from
either factor, there must be two sides.
1t is not within the bounds OF possibility
that the Colorado coal operators in argrI-
ing their own cause can be expected to
give that full measure OF justice to which
the United Mine Workers of America
are entitled
The real facts must be known that
there may be more complete under
standing Of the situation.
We hope that a knowledge by the
American people Of the facts may lead
To solution of the present difficulties
which will insure healthy industrial
peace in Colorado and a sounder rela :
tionship between capital and labor
