DOES WAR CONCERN WOMEN?

Women share the perils of war.
This is rue whether it be foreign
or civil or industrial conflict. A
striking illustration Of this has just
been given in Colorado.
For the last seven months ther:
has been civil war going on in
Southern Colorado between Ger.
tain mining companies and their
employees. The trouble is due to
the determination Of the mine-own-
ers to crush out labor unicnism
among their men. The men were
convinced by long experience that
in q strong union lies their only pre-
lection from the extremes Of ex-
~ploitation. In addition to the recog-
milton q their union, they demand
ed the right to live where they
pleased, to trade where they
pleased, and to choose their own
physicians, instead Of having tt
live in the company houses, trade
at the company's store and to be
treated by the company doctor.
They also wanted some one on their
behalf to be allowed to watch the
weighing of the coal and be sure
that they e paid for all they
dug.
There fas baen a long struggle
and much lawless yiolences on both
sides. the majority of it on the
side Of the mine owners. Last
week this eliminated in the
slaughter of twenty-five persons
