Senator Harry Casady. who is at the

he said:
II cannot understand where tho

falfa Meal Mills paid tho Colorado
railroads s1.560.00O. while this year
they have not paid them $4,000. Tho
rates are SO high we cannot compete
with the eastern mills; hence all of
our mills. but one. are closed. Last
year the farmer was getting SIS a

paying 81 n ton. II tho rate between
tho long and the short hauling was
eouaiizcd we cpul6 pay from $40 to
$12 n ton this year for all the~Slfalfa

We arc not taking 20 per cent of the
alfalfa. we are only paying 81 ton
for what VIC arc taking and the rest

THE COLORADO COAL STRIKE

EFFORTS Of striking miners 10 tie up the mines Of the Colorado
II Fuel 4 Iron company. following a wage reduction made effective
II ON November II. appear to have failed. The mines, according to
newspaper reports from the Trinidad district, are again working at
about normal forces. This controversy. based by union leaders upon
protest against a conference agreement between miners and operators
IN August, was submitted TO the Colorado industrial commission,
which, in supporting the wage reduction, said in part:
The commission does not hesitate to suggest that the
daily wage rates heretofore paid and now being paid by the
coal operators Of this state 20 its employees are far in excess
Of any wage rates paid to employees in any other craft requir-
ing like skill, apprenticeship and ability.
II further appears to the commission that from the first
Of March TO the first of September, 1921, the number Of days
the majority of mines in this state have operated have been
so few that the miners working therein have scarcely made a
living wage during such period, Notwithstanding said high
wage rate.
The commission is further of the opinion that if the
wages Of the coal mine employees were reduced a reasonable
amount, and If the corresponding reduction justified thereby
was made in the price Of cod by the coal mine operators,
that such reduction in the price of coal would stimulate not
only the coal mining industry, but the other industries, and
would tend materially toward placing employment and in
dustries upon a more nearly normal basis.
II is not TO be wondered at, in the face Of such conclusion by a
public commission, that this strike has failed.
In addition 10 the conclusions of the commission, the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company has announced publicly that saving in produc-
ton cost Of coal will be passed on TO consumers and that the low
cred price Of coal will permit the company 20 resume operation of
its steel plant and restore employment TO 5000 men who have
been idle for several months.
These are substantial arguments which wen the most skinful sal
cried agitatoIx viii find it difficult to overcome.
