to call upon Gov. Ammons to send
for Federal troops to end the blood
shed in the coal districts. One
thousand women, among them sew
eral members of the Legislature
marched to the House chamber OF
the Capitol and insisted upon seeing
the Governor, although he at first
said he had no time for them. The
women said they would wait.
When the Governor appeared they
ordered him to do their bidding and
he promised he would. The women
waited until they knew the message
was sent. They made no threats
just waited. Many OF them we're
there from ten in the morning until
ten at night. After a thorough in
vestigation of conditions. the women
of Colorado have now decided that
the militia must not return to the
strike fields. They have also point
ed out that the Governor has unlim-
tied police power and should use it
for Selling the mines owned by the
State and held by the coal corpora
lions on long leases; also that the
State should operate the mines, rec
ognizing and employing union men.

of the women has been greater in
this crisis because they are voters
than IL would have been II they were

earners?
