Source of Regret

Tt was . source of profound regret to us that our conference with Dr, Eos ter did not result in any suggestion lock- ing toward solution of the difficulty.
 ''The effort has been made to place the responsibility for tho continuation of this strike upon us as individual owners of stock in one of the mining companies in- voived. Az outlined above in our talk with pr. Foster, tho record of the Coio- rado Fuel and Iron company in pFovid- ing for its employees long before the strike, the very things fov whiah the

This, as l have said, is a matter of principle which we could not concede or arbitrate
 Tn order to correct an impression which seems to have gained currency desire to restate what was fully stated in the congressional examination, namely, our position with reference to organized labor. We do not question the right of any workmen to freely associate them- selves in unions for the rlrtherance of their common and legitimate interests. but we do assert the equal right of an individual to work. independently of a union if he so elects
 We are contending against the right of unions to impose themselves on an industry by force. by assault and mur der and not against the right of men to organize for their mutual benefit ''rhe impression has been created that if we would agree to submit to the unionizing of the camps of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company this entire trouble would be ended. The public generally does not seem to con
 
 fair demand and in the interest of the employees of the company as a whole. What would become of the great ma ], jority of its workers were such sur | render to be made? All of its loyal non union employees. numbering several thousands, more than 90 per cent of 1 the total number employed in the mines, who have been faithful and true i to it's interests, would be thrown out of employment unless willing to submit as individuals to union dictation. Is 1t the spirit of American fair play which I is asking such ruthless disregard of the interests of honest men, or Is 1t 1 the spirit of partisanship and self l seeling?"
 Labor Affected
 | But the issue is not one of merely | local importance. It affects every working man throughout the land. The | fact that labor unions represent but a very small minority of the workers of the entire country seems to be lost sight of by those who urge the termi- nation of this local difficulty at the price of surrender to union domination. Surely. no thinking man can ask, much less expect. that we will abandon our own employees and the cause of the workers of the entire country because violence and wholesale slaughter are brought about by an element which has come to regard itself as above Ind beyond the reach of the law.
 Are the labor unions. representing a small minority of the workers of the country, to be sustained in their dis regard of analienable right of every 1 American citizen to work without in- 1 reference whether he be a union or a non-union man? Surely the vast ma jority of American citizens will, with out fear or favor. stand for even hand

Final Appeal
 But there is final aspect of this grave matter which deserves more than all else the attentio> or the American public in this crisis. whether the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and the othe, operators have been wholly free from blame or not in the present controversy, the issue now to be decided is whether the state. or failing the state. the na- ton, shall make good the constitutional guarantee of law and order At the pres ent moment in Colorado funds are being openly raised and citizens are being armed with the avowed purpose of re- sisting the authorities of the state. Since that issue of resistance to constituted authority is raised. it Is unthinkable that the Colorado Fuel and :ron company or any of the companies operating In the state should be asked to yield its posi- ton on a preliminary and now extraneous matter of dispute as the price Of secur- ing the withdrawal of forces armed to combat their own government

In these figures, he said. no note was made of two large wage increases resulting from arbitration, which will add S2.T57,000 per annum. As a result of arbitration with the Brotherhood of Loco motive Bremen and Engnemen the ad- dition amounts to 9d per cent and s6.000,000 per annum. or I per cent, will be added as result of arbitration with the conductors and trainmen.
