Strive address this letter to you
for the purpose of stating conditions
at the Toltec mine and II possible to

Mr.. George truth and myself have
operated this property for period
of about fourteen years reclaiming
from an almost worthless property
and making of it a productive mine.
During the summer prior to Sept. %.
when the present strike was called.
we rebuilt the tipple and put In a
new screening plant, at a cost of ap-
proximately $4,000 for the purpose
of increasing the production and bet

Loss of British
Cruisers First
Disaster to
Fleet

London, Sept. 23.-The swift and
silent destruction of three big cruis-
ers which cost $4,000, 900 has
brought home the risks of modern ma
val warfare. The unseen enemy
crept on the Aboukir, then the Hogue
and then the Greasy, and one after
another the cruisers sank. The whole
affair was over in 20 minutes.
The survivors who have been
brought to Dutch and British ports
declare there were three German
submarines in the attacking force,
some say five, and that the cruiser
Cressy accounted for two Of them.
The admiralty, however. does not
yet confirm the statement that the
German craft were destroyed and it
is possible that none was even seen.
The Grimby trawler Kimarnock
was sunk by a mine in the North sea
yesterday. Only three members Of
the crew were saved. The trawler
was blown in two and went down
instantly.
The arrival in port today of a
trawier with two officers and three
men, survivors of the North Sea dis
aster. leads to the hope that the toll
of the victims will prove less than
was at first feared.

emily satisfying to all concerned. 1t
is a pleasure, therefore, for us to ac-
cept those portions of the plan you
have endorsed which can form a
sound basis for permanent progress.
We cannot but regret, however, that
the plan is. in form and effect, a
truce, for that implies a possible re-
newal of hostilities-an eventuality
we are supremely anxious to avoid.
In order that you may understand
the situation in which we now find
ourselves, we feel impelled to set
forth certain controlling factors
which distinguish this from the usual
industrial dispute:
|. Before this agitation began,
our employees had not manifested
dissatisfaction with their conditions,
and had not asked us to change them.
.. This breach was instigated by
an organization financed and con
trolled outside this State, and of
which but few of our employees were
members. A careful inquiry at the
most critical stage Of the agitation
a year ago disclosed almost unani-
nous opposition on the part of our
men to the proposed cessation of
work.
3. Only fractian of our men re-
sponded to the call to lag down their
tools, many of those took them Up al
most Immediately, and today our pro-
duction of coal is over 20 per cent Of
the usual output. and fully 90 per
cent of the demands of the trade.
These conditions prevail in spite
of most aggressive propaganda OF

Denver, Colo, Sept. is, 1914.
My Dear Mr.. President:
Permit me to express my sincere
appreciation of your letter of Sep
tember and your evident purpose to
lend us the benefit Of your good Of
fices in the amelioration of industrial,
conditions in Colorado. We have
ourselves keenly realized the danger
to our common welfare involved in
a failure to allay any distrust and to
establish healthy relationships. From
trouble we have done everything we
could in good conscience. first to pre-
vent and then heal the breach.
When this agitation first started !
assured the governor of Colorado that
SO confident were we that our men
already enjoyed all the so-called con-
ditions of peace, other than recogni-
tion of the United Mine Workers of
America, that we were willing to ac-
cept the decision of the governor
himself as to whether this were not
so at our mines. If it were not so.
we told him we would make it so.
At no time have we desired a tri-
umph merely through superior
strength of endurance. and we have
been peculiarly sensitive of the popu-
lar misunderstanding that We have
been unwilling to yield anything or
to consider terms of accommodation.
Some of the incidents of this dis
quite have been most painful to us all.
and we have felt a profound respon-
siblity to take steps which would If
possible create condition perman-

persuasion. incendiary appeal, and
intimidation. The effectual collapse
of this campaign and the refusal OF
appeals made to them. is the best
testimony we can offer to their very
real satisfaction with the way they
have been and are being treated.
At the moment. this is the situa-
tion: There is no likelihood that the
supply of Colorado coal. of which our
Company produces but 80 per cent
of the total. will be inadequate. or
that the price will be unusual. More
than $500 men-nearly all old en-
|ployees-are peacably at work in
Colorado mines, receiving the high
est wages paid to that class Of labor
anywhere in the United States. In
our own mines larger number OF
men are at work today than at any
time for year past.
1t is unfortunately true that sub
stantial number of men still decline
to work. and It is generally agreed
that without an effective restraining
influence, some of these men might
become menace to the peace. This
danger does not arise from our own
employees, who as a class are peace
able, desiring only to be allowed to
work unmolested. If the Federal
TROOPS should be withdrawn, no one
seriously fears that any of our men
hone of whom are armed-would
create disturbance.
1t must be, therefore, that the only
necessity for the continued presence
of the troops is to prevent violence
by that small group of noh-workers
who have been taught to believe
themselves justified in taking forci-
bic means to accomplish their pur-
poses.
Many of those still idle would, we
are Informed, willingly return to
work but for fear or intimidation. 1t
is also a common knowledge that the
labor leaders have made their men
understand that while Federal troops
were in Colorado there must be no
disorder. If these same leaders
should earnestly cooperate with the
agencies of the State as they have
done with those of the Nation. the
troops might with perfect safety be

TRUCE SAYS
WILSON
Recommends Settlement
in Conference With
j. F. Welborn
Today

Washington, Sept 23.-Presiden
Wilson today told j. +. Welborn,
president of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company that he believed it to
be the duty of the operators of Colo
rado to accept the basis for the set
tlement of the strike proposed by
federal mediators. Mr.. Welborn told
the president that the operators OBJ
jected to several points in the plan,
hut the president asked that they re-
consider the question.
In answer to the objections of
Mr.. Welborn. the president declared
he could not act as the umpire be-
tween the operators and the miners
and that he felt it the duty of the
operators to accept the plan already
adopted by the miners.
The continuance of federal troops
in Colorado was discussed and later
1t was said the president would not
withdraw the troops unless a salts
factory settlement was reached. This
was not verified. however, in Off
Cial quarters.
The president had expected to hear
n committee representing the indie
pendent coal operators involved In
the strike. Mr.. Welborn told him
that the other operators were unable
to be present. but would write. The
president asked that Mr.. Welborn tell
the other operators that he could not
accept n refusal of the plans.
Mr.. Welborn presented an alterna-
tive plan for the solution of the
strike trouble. but the president re-
fused to consider 1t. saying that he
did not believe a compromise posi-
bile. The president declared tmt the
public interests demanded the end OF
the strike. and that it was the pa
triotic duty of the mine operators to
accept the proposal.
Mr.. Welborn declared after his In
terview with the president that the
question was still open and that he
would report the result of his talk to
the other operators.
