Pueblo, Colo Sept, 21.--Waiting

some word from the officials of the

open letter to the officials Of the steel
company and the citizens of Colorado.
The letter follows:
'To the Colorado Fuel and iron
company officials, citizens committee
and all public spirited citizens of the
commonwealth of Colorado:
''The attitude of the striking steel
workers is that of men to a k1ndly
employer whose plan of paterna! gen
crosby is not in keeping with the
fundamental principles OF democracy
ideals Of American manhood nor the
Inst representation in the industrial
field means the right of collective
bargaining.
The same spirit that carried us
over the top in defeating German au-
tocracy is the one that animates us
in this fight for industrial democracy.
History records that in all states or
nations where just representation IS
/ denied the worker, a fertile seed-b
| is being prepared for the birth of alb
normal expressions of freedom such as
| |, w. W'ism, Bolshevism and anarchy.

medium of relationship between en-
| ployer and empioye, for the promotion
| of efficiency of industry and harmoni-
| GUS cooperation between capital ana
