Says Strikers Took Oath to Murder.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo Jan. 2S.-An oath to
burn mining camps and kill everyone not mem
Der of the union, was administered to strikers
the night before the commencement of fighting
between strikers and militiamen near Walsen-
burg in April, 1914, according to testimony given
yesterday by Flick Oseirk at the trial of four
former strikers charged with killing Major p p.
Lester. Oseirk told the jury the oath was adj
ministered at Union Hall in Walsenburg by Bob
Robe. an organizer
Counsel for the defense brought out an admis-
sion that eight years ago Oseirk and his father
received two hundred dollars from the coal COM
panies after testifying in damage suit growing
out Of an accident at the Toenburg mine. Ose-
irk testified that he was given a gun by Jack
Burke, secretary of the local union, and that the
oath included pledge TO burn the court house
and kill jefferson Farr, sheriff of Huerfano
county.
The witness said he saw Lee Nicely taking
rifles and ammunition TO the union hall. Cues
tioning by attorneys brought out the fact that
Nicely was Fairs opponent for sheriff at the
1914 election On cross-examinaton Oseirk tes-
titled that the Ludlow battle was not mentioned
in union headquarters at Walsenburg and that
Nicely was walking in the rear of eight men. who
carried munitions to union headquarters.

MANY THINGS TO TALK OVER

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31.-After a long and
earnest discussion the United Mine Workers Of
America. in convention here today, defeated a
resolution TO amend the constitution of the or.
ganization so as TO exclude from its membership
national guardsmen and the state cOnstabulary
Every member of the union who spoke on the
question denounced the use Of the national guard
in strikes, but the majority contended that de.
spite their feeling Of enmity toward the militia
II would be a violation Of state and federal laws
and also against public policy to exclude them
from membership.
The argument was made that there is no op-
position to the militia for legitimate purposes.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S-After a bitter at
tack by r. l.. Doyle secretary of the Colorado
miners in which he assailed the management of
the strike in that state, the United Mine Work
ers of America in convention here today gave a
sweeping vote of confidence to John p. White.
president, and Frank j. Hayes. vice president.
when It approved by large majority all that the
international officers had done TO win that labor
struggle. Later a motion to expunge from the
record all the remarks of Doyle was carried by
an overwhelming vote.
Doyle's attack was one of the sensations of the
convention. The delegates appeared TO be so
eager to vote that Vice President Hayes was UNI
able to gain the floor to make reply and gave
notice that he would make a statement later.
President White made a heated reply in which he
declared that Doyle had done irreparable injury
to the struggling mine workers of Colorado.

Stand BY Colorado Strikers.

Doyle in opening his speech. admitted the
rank and file of the organization had nobly stood
by the Colorado strikers, and gratefully acknowl-
edged that $3695.5ld had been sent into the
state to help win the strike. He declared. how
ever. that some of the national officers in the
summer of 1914 did not show the same zeal in
conducting the strike as they had at the begin
ming. He alleged that w. X. Farley of Alabama.
and Vice President Hayes. had offered a plan of
settlement which was unsatisfactory 10 DOYLE
and other district Officers that Farley burned
all copies of the plan supposed to be In existence.
and that later this identical plan turned up as
President Wilson's plan which called for three
year truce
resident White in his reply declared that il
was idle To believe that the attack on the inter
national organization smacked of sincerity lie
had been assailed. he declared. in order 10 bring
discredit upon his administration, but he would
not reveal all he knew about Colorado and ieop-
ardize the life and liberty of men in that state.
You can't make me out traitor and a
squeaer." he shouted. A report gained circula-
ton today that President White may not be
candidate for reelection year hence, as he de.
sired 10 retire. White would not discuss the re-
port, but II is said he has not finally made up
his mind,
