dent OF the United States. This, he
said, had resulted in one year in 49,
U0U coal miners working under trade
agreement. Similar conditions he pre-
dicted for the Colorado miners, if they
accept the suggestions OF the board
and President Wilson.
The recommendations of the inter
national executive board reproduce
the Presidents proclamation in the ap.
pointment of the peace commission,
and continues:
This is the last word from the
President, and in submitting this final
proposition he emphasizes the thought
| that both parties may see it to be not
merely to their own best interest but
also duy which they owe to the com
munities they serve and the nation
itself to make use of this Instrument
atty of peace and render strife of the
kind which has threatened the order
and prosperity of the great state of
COLORADO thing of the past.
Recognize No Surrender.
I'm view of this urgent request, COM
ing as it does from the chief executive
wisdom to accept his suggestion and
" WI I14udLO l11O SL41hO. LII Jul OR4A-
ion, to wage the strike further would
not mean additional gain to our mem
bers. We trust that his commission
appointed by the President will meet
with success, and that all the opera
tors in the state will come under its
jurisdiction.
"The men who compose this cor
mission are of national reputation and
are citizens of high character and
standing in their respective communi-
ties. If the operators reject the good
offices of this commission, appointed
in good faith by the President Of the
United States, upon their shoulders
will rest the responsibility of any fu-
ture trouble in the mining fields o.
Colorado.
I'm taking this position and in ter
minating this strike, which has lasted
for period of almost five years in
the northern coal fields and for more
than IA months in the southern coal
fields of Colorado, we believe we are
doing the best thing possible for the
men on strike, who have suffered so
long in order that justice might be
done.
1--WE recognize no surrender and
shall continue to propagate, the prin-
ciples of our humanitarian movement
throughout the coal fields Of Colorado.
We advise all men to seek their form
er places in the mines, and to those
who are refused employment we shall
render assistance to the best Of our
ability, and shall provide every legal
protection to those of our members
who are refused employment we shall

Stirring Scenes at Close.
The close of the convention brought
forth a remarkable scene. Sturdy
miners embraced their leaders and
both wept, the while the entire body
sang the Battle Cry ~of Union writ

the organization, and sung to the air
Of the Battle Cry of FREEDOM"
There was regret expressed that the
battle had not been won, but the dele
gates showed unbounded enthusiasm
and vigorously applauded every as
surance that the work of organization
would go on and that the men, women
and children who had taken part in
the struggle would be cared for by the

men who originally went on strike,
about one-third are now in the tent

attitude of the operators is still de-

1--WE, your committee on policy, ap-
prove and ratify the action of the in
ternational executive board in regard
to the Colorado strike.
eve also recommend that if after
investigation by the authorized rem
resentatives of the organization it is
sound that a striker has heen black
listed because of his activity in the
strike, that he be rendered assistance
~ the organization.
1--WE also recomerJnd that we ex-
end the best LEGAL aid to cur striking
brothers who have been or may be
falsely accused of crime on account
of their activity in the strike. and
make every endeavor to secure their
early acquittal and ~elease.
1--WE also recommend :har the inter-
national and district representatives
of the organization be empowered 20
carry out the understanding had with
the independent operators in regard to
the Trinidad wage scale. This under
standing was to the effect tisat. j il + we
could not force the big companies to
pay the advance we demanded that we
would not expect the small companies
that have recognized our union to pay
the same.
Confidence in. OFFICERS.
"In conclusion we wish 20 express
confidence in the international organi-
zation of the United Mine Workers of
America for their very generous and
foyal support of our strike. and we
wish to commend the international of
ficials and district officials who have
