Coloado Strike

The ending of the great Color- ado coal strike took place recent Iy, tbe leaders having been sue cessful in inducing the men to ac- cept the proposals made that they return to work on the guar antee that the federal govern ment will carefully consider a basis of settlement which will be compulsorily enforced. The terms upon which the miners are re- turning are known as the federal peace terms
 Rockefeller correspondence just published is creating a tre~ meodous sensation in connection with the strike. It reveals to what lengths a favorable public opinion in their the interests have gone to procure regard with reference to the strike. Appar- ently every literary hack that could be dragged into use was availed of for the purpose of spreading broadcast the most baseless reports, statements and assertions with regard to the strike.
 Officials, newspapers and clergy have been prostituted for this purpose, and one of the most startling facts is that Eli Hubbard, the we'll known writer and Roycrofter, was bought and publicly paid for, for the rather mean sum of two hundred dol- lars.

He came to Keokuk last May. He was

settled with the street car company
for $50 and left the city. That was
the last heard of him until several days

or not they had been victimiZed by an

injured by falling from street cars. j.
