Visits Scene of Ludlow Massacre.
The investigation being made by John
D., jr-, is being personally conducted by
President Welborn and Mine Manager

the miners will make any serious COM
plants in the presence OF these bosses,
who are without support of a union to
back up any complaints or grievances
However, the man whom Mackenzie
King says holds the destiny OF Colorado
in his hands, insisted on paying a visit
to Ludlow. and he was permitted to view
the scene of the massacre of women and
children from Water Tank hill while
seated in an automobile. Weitzel point
ed out where tents OF the striking min
ers' colony stood before the torch was
applied by Rockefeller mine guards and
imported gunmen clothed with the uni
form of the Colorado national guard.
His eyes also rested upon the exact spot
where Butcher" Monte Linderfelt
broke a gunstock over the head of Louie
TIkas, whose body was later riddled with
bullets.
