OFFICIALS MAKE STATEMENTS
REGARDING STRIKE TROUBLE

John r. Lawson, Colorado member
of the executive board Of the United
Mine Workers, makes the following
statement regarding the trouble in
the Trinidad district:
Last Sunday the Greeks in the
Ludlow colony were celebrating their
Easter. They had a ball game, and
five militiamen with guns appeared
and interfered in the sport. There
was no fighting, however, at that
time.
"On Monday morning Major Ham,
rock sent for Louis Tikas to demand
the release of some men from the
camp. Tikas went to meet Ham
rock and never returned. l am un-
able to say of my own knowledge
just how or when he met his death.
The fighting then began. I cannot
say positively who fired the first shots,
and do not wish to tell anything Of
which l have not positive knowledge
at is my opinion that the first tents
were set afire by explosive bullets.
know that ammunition Of that char
acter has been used by the militiamen,
for ! have heard many Of the bull
let's explode. 1t 10 my belief that
soldiers entered the colony and looted
many Of the tents before the .destrue-
ton by fire was complete. The story
that ammunition was found in my tsnt
is q deliberate lie. There never was
any ammunition In my tent.

He was bound by family custom to
buy Christmas presents for his rela-

he would remember every one in the

to give presents which would be well
come. Why not give to each of his rel

entirely useless, inappropriate and
superfuous? 1t would serve them right
for involving him in the childish per-
formances of the Christmas season. 1t
would be burlesque on the whole
nonsensicality of Christmas giving. 1t
would irritate and puzzle his relatives

Dear Brother: Greetings to you
from the happiest household in town,
thanks to a generous Santa Claus il,
the guise of Uncle Sidney. i must be
gin by thanking you on my own &C.
count. How in the world did you learn
that Roman colors had come in again
have always heard that men did not
follow the styles and could not be
trusted to select anything for a Wom-
an, but it is a libel, q base libel, for
the scarf which you sent is quite the
most beautiful thing I have received
this Christmas. / have it draped over
the large picture in the parlor, and it
is the envy of every one who has been
in today. A thousand, thousand thanks,
dear Sidney. 1t was perfectly sweet
Of you to remember me, and I call it
nothing less than a stroke of genius to
think of anything so appropriate and
yet so much out of the ordinary.
John asks me to thank you-but I
must tell you the story. One evening
last week we had a little chafing-dish
party after prayer meeting, and |
asked John to open a bottle of olives
for me. Well he broke the small blade
OF his knife trying to get the cork
out. He said: If l live to get down
town again, I'm going to buy a cork.
screw Fortunately he had neglected
to buy one, and so your gift seemed to
come straight from Providence. John
is very much pleased. Already he has
found use for it, as it happened
that he wanted to open a bottle of
household ammonia the very first
thing this morning.
AS for Fred's lovely books-thank
goodness you didn't send him any
more story books. John and l have
been trying to induce him to take up
a more serious line of reading. The
Josephus ought to help him in the
study of his Sunday school lessons.
We were pleased to observe that he
read it for about an hour this morn
ing.
when you were out here last fall
did Genevieve tell you that she was
collecting silk for doll quilt? She
insists that she did not, but she must
have done so, for how could you have
guessed that she wants pieces of silk
above anything else in the world? Fred
and Genevieve send love and kisses.
John insists that you come out to din
ner some Sunday very soon-next Sun
day if you can. After we received your
presents we were quite ashamed Of
the box we had sent over to your
hotel, but we will try to make up the
difference in heartfelt gratitude. Don't
fOrget-any Sunday Your loving sis
ter, KATHERINE.

they would regret having married. He
seldom put the seal of approval on any
human undertaking. 1t was a matter
Of pride with him that he never failed
to find the sinister motive for the act
which other people applauded. Some
of his pious friends used to say that
Satan had got the upper hand with
him, but there were others who lndl-
Gated that it might be bile.
Think of the seething wrath and the
sense of humiliation with which Mr..
Sidney Payson set about his Christ
mas shoppingi In the first place, to
go shopping for Christmas presents
was the most conventional thing that
anyone could do, and Mr.. Payson
hated conventionalities For another
thing, the giving of Christmas pres
ents carried with it some testimony Of
affection, and Mr.. Payson regarded
any display Of affection as one of the
crude symptoms of barbarous taste.
If he could have assembled his rela-
tiVes a. a Christmas gathering and
opened few old family wounds, re-
mindina< his brother and his two sis
ters of some Of their youthful follies,
thus STAINING them before the chill
dren, Nr. Sidney Payson might have
managed to make out a rather merry
Christmas. Instead Of that, he was
condemned to go out and purchase
gifts and be as cheaply idotic as the
other Wretched mortals with whom he
was being carried along. No wonder
that he chafed and rebelled and vainly
wished that he could hang crepe on
every Christmas tree in the universe.
Mr.. Sidney Payson hated his task
and he was puzzled by it. After wan
dering through two stores and looking
In at 20 windows he had been unable
to make one selection. 1t seemed to
him that all the articles offered for
sale were singularly and uniformly in
appropriate. The custom of giving
was a farce in itself. and the storekeep-
ers had done what they could to make
1t a sickening travesty.
"I'll go ahead and buy lot of things
at haphazard," he said TO himself. 81
don't care hang whether they are ap-
propriate or not"
At that moment he had an inspira-
