Williams in Indianapolis News.

Despite these forces, the miners stuck
to their organization and began laying
plans for the future As part OF this
strategy, international officers took
charge of affairs, moved headquarters
of this district from Denver and decided
to organize one company at time. The
success of this plan is shown in the
agreement with the Victor American,
which imposed more strenuous opposi-
ton to the return to work of union men
after the strike than did any of the other
companies.
The agreement provides for the Colo
RADIO and New Mexico miners to receive
the increase in wages that may be Sc
cured by the miners of Illinois. Kansas,
and Oklahoma in their next joint con-
ference with operators. The agreement
expires March 81, 1920, thus bringing
it in line with the interstate agreement
of the central competitive fields.
1t is stated that when certain financial
interests discovered the NictOr-American
was negotiating with the union, these
parties forgot their boasted principle of
having the right to run your own buSl-
ness" and applied every pressure to block
a settlement.
Another feature of this epoch-mak-
ing event was the complete ignoring OF
the State industrial commission in the
negotiations. Under the law no wage

BRUTAL ANTAGONIST
or Colorado Coal Operators Has
Failed; Organized Miners "Cap-
turc" ROckefeller's Strongest
Ally.

Denver, Colo.-The Nictor-Amercan
Fuel Company has signed three-year
union shop agreement with the United
Mine Workers Union. Ten mines in
this State and two in New Mexico are
affected
During the miners strike in 1854
the NictorAmerican was a close sec
Ond to ROckefeller's Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company for an unparalleled BIT
terness and savagery against organized
miners. If union miner was discov-
cred in any Victor-Amercan camp the
thug system of this corporation made
short work of one who dared to raise
his voice in protest.
1t took lion-hearted men in those days
to hold aloft the banner of trade union
ism, but despite Ludlow, the State mill
tia. venal governor, coWed legisla-
ture business mems associations, hordes
of private detectives, gunner, strike
breakers, and a muzzled public press,
the workers battled against the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, the Victor
American Coal Company and their al
lies.
After the strike ended the operators
continued their persecution by indicting
hundreds of strikers who were tried by
judge who was former attorney for
the coal operators and who was ap-
pointed by Governor Carlson, after the
legislature had created a special district
for the appointee.
To add to the miners troubles, Rookie
feller organized a union and visited
the homes OF his employees, to the great
delight of that portion of the public press
that ignored constitutional outrages.

movement can be negotiated without
giving 80 days notice. While the law
does not apply in this case the fact that
the miners and operators refused to
consult the commission in arranging
their own affairs is significant.
The Rockefeller union" receives a
hard blow by the Nictor-American de-
Gliding TO negotiate with the bona fide
union rather than attempt to fool its
employees with ompany-managed or
ganizaton.
Employees OF the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company (Rockefellers company

union" in the very near future. They
are openly announcing that they are
members OF the United Mine Workers
Union and are pointing to the failure OF
representation without economic power
and the futiity of meetings controlled

pany
Summed up, the situation for organ
lied miners in Colorado was never
brighter, and these workers are pre-
dieting that it is only question OF
short time until their persistence and
their agitation will have to be formally
by the Rockefeller interests.
