reached here from scaAdinavia re-
sarding the purpose of Ambassador
Gerard's visit. They are not con.
hrmed, but they created no surprise
In official circles. In fact, II has been

that the Germans would send q
peace-ktte dying In October. The
Lloyd George interview was conse-
Quently considered very timely. fore
stalling a possible move by neutrais.
II Is strongly emphasized to-day
that any suggestions Of mediation,
coming from President Wilson At this
time. would not be acceptable. Well
informed persons added. however,
that there would be no objection II
President Wilson merely acted as an
agent in transmitting any terms the
Kaiser cares to offer.

Indictment of Miners
49, Is a Fostering Sore. -

Washington, March 22-A President
Wilson's special Colorado coal strike
commission has presented report on
Colorado conditions to the chief eX-
ecutive. They also tender their resig-
nations for the, reason that the recent
| ly-created state commission, they say,
| is amply equipper by law to deal
with all phases of the problem"
The commission says that of 400 in
dictments returned in Colorado in con-
nection with strike troubles, all were
against strikers, and that this has left
fostering sore'' on public opinion.
Some of the citizens of Colorado"
the report continues, believe that
many illegal acts were committed on
| the part of the operators, and the JUS
| tice which finds all the indictments
on one side does not seem to them
even handed.
"Your commission naturally express
es no opinion as to the correctness of
this belief 1t simply calls attention
to the existence of this feeling. Again
it is believed by solRe, even among
the operators, that ine many of these
! cases the state has not sufficient evi-
dence to convict.
Gas long as this condition of affairs
exists, the industrial health of Colo
RADIO will be weakened by this tester
ing sore. 1t is not the, business of
your commission to weigh the rights,
and wrongs of the case, but We should
fall short of our duty if we did not
call attention to this feature of the
; situation and emphasize the import
ance to the state of providing a
prompt remedy"
Seth Low of New York City, Chas.
W. Mills of Philadelphia, and Patrick
Gilday of Clearfeld, PA, composed the
commission. The latter is a member
of the United Mine Workers union.
