Colorado Workmen
Strike on Account of
Freezing Weather

It's so cold on the shores OF Long
lake, just below Longs peak, that
crew of laborers employed in con-
struction of a reservoir went on strike
this week to keep from freezing.
Brown 4 Miller the contracting firm,
has appealed to Denver employment
agency for gang of men who are
not affected by cold weather.
The strikers claim that it is physic-
ally impossible for them to work be-
cause OF the frigidity of the atmos-
phere. The reservoir site is above
timber line and is intended as part
of reclamation project to provide ir-
rigation for 5000 acres known as
Bell flats. three miles east of Lyons.
Snow and ice are packed so hard
on the edges of the lake that a 500
pound horse walks over the frozen
surface in safety.
It's a pleasure to work in Colorado.
