The Rev. Mr., Atkinson was sent to
Colorado and also to the copper min

were recent industrial difficulties, by
the social service commission of the
Congregational churches and the com

After reviewing the trouble in Colo
RADIO, his report says:
THE coal companies dominate the
politics in those counties where the
miners are located. They have
brought about the election of the
judges sheriffs, coroners and assess
ors. They can do about as they please,
u
evidence was brought out to show
that they control the political social
and economic situation"
Further, the report says:
1t is impossible to enforce the law
and the courts are practically closed
to those who in any way incur the en-
nifty of the coal companies Thirty
years of such oppression, Industrial,
social and political, have taught the
miners that their only hope is i'm the
unions An individual counts for
nothing; if he protests he loses his
job. if he makes too much trouble he
is dealt with by hired gunner, who
are kept at the mines to do the will Of

or the actions Of the militia, the
Rev. Mr.. Atkinson said
The soldiers were gladly received
by the strikers, for they expected
they would have protection, but it
soon became evident that the militia
was under the control Of the coal
companies.
Men and women were thrown into
Jail without any charge being lodged
against them and held incommuni-
cado.
The constitution Of the state was
set aside. They met and escorted
strike breakers who were brought into
the state. The militia, instead of aim
ing to maintain order and secure ius-
tice, was used to break the strike.

Advice To the LoveIOrn
Make AN HONEsT EFFORT.
By beatrice Fnirfa1.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a man, 25, of a foreign family.
and in love with an American girl Of
the same age. I was introduced to this
young woman about five years ago. and
while I have obtained the confidence Of
the mother il has been impossible to
do so with the father-in fact. her
father is kept ignorant of our meeting
secretly. which we do about twice a
week with the knowledge Of her moth
er. I have constantly pleaded with the
young woman and her mother to allow
me to call at the house and reason
with the father and ask him to allow
me to prove my sincerity. They posi-
lively refuse to consent to my sugges-
ton owing 70 the fact he is a positive
crank and very stubborn and are afraid
it would cause more trouble, which they
wish to avoid particularly on my &C
count. I can only give one reason for
his action, and that is my being of for
eign parents.
Now what I would like to know is,
would YOU advise me to speak to her
father and try to win him over OF
would you marry her without his con-
sent2 William d.
It seems to me that you should make
one honest effort to win the consent
Of your beloveds father to your mar
rage. II this fails, you would be saved
from tie feeling of having acted slyly
and underhandedly. However, do not
see the father without telling mother
and daughter. Of your intentions to and
ask for the girls hand.
