accounts Of the mine fight last night
and this morning which brought dozens
of casualties. when 5000 armed striking
miners attacked the Lester strip mine
near here which was being operated oy
imported workers and guards.
The substance of the statements by
the wounded. who were among the De-
sicged was that not mine worker was
injured during the lighting but that the
numerous killed were shot down IN colo
blood after they had surrendered them
selves and their arms. There was
nothing from the union miners TO con-
tradict these claims.

running into. 7 don't blame the miners
much for attacking us. for we were un-
knowingly being used as dupes to keep
them from treir jobs.

US all the time and most OF the guard
were tough fellows sent by Chicago

miners sent us warnings 10 leave town
or we would be run out. We never
got them, perhaps the bosses did. When
