PRESENT LABOR TROUBLE
BEGAN SEVEN MONTHS AGO

Denver. Colo. April 27.-Colorado,s
present labor trouble began seven
months ago. On September %. 1914
the strike called by the United Mine
Workers of America became effective,
Approximately 10000 men employed in
the mines. the number who answered
the strike call vas estimated v~ariousiv
at from 5000 to 10000, the operators
claiming a considerable number had
left the camps previously rather thar
become involved in the controversy.
Briefly the demands of the miners
were:
Recognition of the union.
A 10 per cent wage advance on a
tonnage basis.
Eight hour day for all classes Of la
Dor.
Check weighman.
The right to trade and board where
they pleased.
Enforcement Of the Colorado mining
laws n abolition of the guard sys-
tenn"
Numerous efforts were made by
Governor Ammons to arrange a basis
for the settlement of differences, each
failing because of the persistence of the
refusal Of the strikers to waive and the
operators to grant recognition Of the
union,

NELs BERGHElM NOW IN
YANkTON INSANITY HOSPITAL

Howard. S. D.. April 25.-The au-
thorities of Miner county have just
lodged in the Yankton hospital for the
insane Nels Bergheim. who recently
shot and killed Mons Haugo, his BROTH
erinlaw. The placing of the young man
in the asylum in accordance with the
verdict of the jury which was sum-
moned to try him on the charge OF
murder, is the closing chapter in a
tragedy which created intense excite
ment at the time it occurred a few
weeks ago Bergheim is about 80
years Of age. He became infatuated with
a sister of his brotherinlaw and being
repulsed by her he blamed his brother
tnlaw for interfering in the matter and
influencing his sister against him. For
more than u year he brooded over his
disappointment In love. His health
failed and he became a ervous wreck
and insane. His condition was such
that his parents a arranged to have
him taken before the county board Of
insanity. 1t is presumed that he heard
Of this plan and this drove him into a
frenzy, during which he sought out
his brotherntnlaw and killed him.
Bergheim is the second Miner county
murderer to be declared insane within
the course of a few weeks. the other
being Herbert Thompson, who shot md
killed his girl wife. and who. like Berg
helm. was declared insane by the iurv
which was called to try him on the
charge of murder.

Bolton, in charge of union ~headquart-
ers here. said. today that about 300
strikers had come into Trinidad during

According to Bolton, the conferees

Lawson, John McLennan and perhaps
William Diamond. He said the terms
offered by the strikers for a permanent
peace would be:
First, that the strikers be not dis
armed; second, that the mine guards
be sent out of the country.

send a specially selected committee
with witnesses to the site of the burned
Ludlow tent colony to %excavate and de-
termlne whether any bodies remain in
the and holes under the debris.
The military camp at Ludlow report
ed everything quiet early today.
The firing last night was scattering
and regarded as of no more import
than numerous other similar occur
rences which have passed unnoticed in
the rush of exciting events of the last
few days.
