eight thousand men who quit from fear of the blackhander and similar organizations, who. through letters. or face to face threatened to kill the men, do violence to their wives and daughters and practice all of the hellish villainy that these creatures possess
 He mentioned the killing of a mar shal and several minor disorders and adds: Hayes, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America together with representatives here ir the state, are the principal mischief makers Old Mother Jones has been on the ground for two weeks but Saturday, we understand the governor ordered her to be taken 70 the state line and ordered not to return
 "Mr. Ethelbert stewart, who called at your office, is in the state and is surrounded by and associating with Hayes Brake, and Lawson, and other men of that stamp who are at the bottom of this strike Mir Stewart spent part of one afternoon with me going over every point raised by these agitators and he confessed that the Colorado Fuel & Iron company was meeting every requirement of organized labor in any bituminous coal mining section of this country. in we could better our men or the men could better themselves by join ing the union and he was unable to

show who wrote this letter, but the writer asked Mr King who was about to start on western trip, to trans init to him his opinion as to a plan by which an organization in the mining camps could be formed so that the men could have a medium for the adjustment of future griev- ances.
 On August 16, MT. Bowers wrote MT. Rockefeller giving reasons why the writer considered the time for the establfs lmert of such an organiza- ton inOprortune. MT Bowers feared .tl,at the urion leaders would adver- tise such step as having been forced from the companies by the strike.
 The poliicaI gang at Washington are at their wits end..to find some way to get out of the pit they helped to dig, so we are encouraged to stick to the job till we win
 The final exchanges occurred in the latter half of last December and relates that the company had ap- pointed David Griffiths to spend practically all of his time at the mines, Investigating and adjusting complaints
 These last communications were sent to MT. Rockefeller by J. F. Vel born. president of the company, and detailed at considerable length some of the experiences which executive officers of the concern had with dis satisfied individual workmen.
 On Dec. 30. 1914. ~Mr. Rockefeller wrote to Mir. Welborn. expressing his qualification at this step, and adding that ''it will be the wish of all those connected with the fuel company to introduce as rapidly as may seem eXpedient the various progressive steps in such a plan as your further thought will suggest, looking toward the prevention of a possible recur- renee at any time in the future of the disorder and loss on every hand which has resulted from the strike.
 q believe that you share with us the desire to show all deference and courtesy to the presidents commis- sion and our feeling that their ap proval of your plan and if necessary their cooperation will help material : ly in securing the approval not only of the administration but of the pub lie at large"

Put to it for something to drink in the line of alcoholic beverages, and also wanting something in that line with which to regale his friends, Al Commer proceeded to make himself the booze out of alcohol and a little water with which to dilute it.
 The drink proved some strong, and the young men to whom he gave and sold the water with the kick in it, became gloriously drunk, in which condition they were picked up by the city officials They were turned over to the sheriff and he proceeded to obtain the information as to where they got the stuff After a while they came across with the information, and diVulged Commer as the man.
 He was held to answer yesterday on one count by Justice of the Peace DeSouza, and has yet to be arraigned on another in Justice Parker's court. On the first one he will be tried in superior court this morning.
