how far Foreign Minister Stress

anticipated evacua! ion of the Rhine

Frank Palmer Released
/. Release of Frank l.. Palmer,
Federated Press correspondent and
former editor Of the Colorado Labor
Advocate, and of Adam Bell, strike
leader in the COlumbine mine district,
when Gov. Adams needed demands of
labor and eric groups.
2. Admission by Merle D. Vincent,
attorney of the Rocky Mountain Fuel
Co., owners of the Columbine mine
where miners were slain in the mi
litia massacre, thai state mining laws
are being violated and that the strike
resulted from operators consistent de-
NAL of the rights of the men. This is
a definite break in the ranks of the
operators in their case before the in
dustrial commission hearing.
3. Announcement of a 5Oc-a-day
wage increase by coal operators in
the northern field and 3Oc-a-day in
crease by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Co., Rockefeller corporation, in the
southern field as a result of the strike.
Despite increase offers the miners are
standing solid for recognition of their
full demands. They are sticking for
the Jacksonville scale.
Palmer's release came after 2
weeks pressure on the governor by
labor unions, business and profession
al leaders of the state, and as result
of national nOtoriety on account of
the abrogation of civil liberties in the
arrest of Palmer and others b" the
state guardsmen. Palmer, who has
been marked" man since the be-
ginning of the strike because of his
publicity work and speeches to the
miners, was arrested on Dec. Is wher
militiamen broke up a meeting he
addressed at Longmont, Colo. He
was held without charges. Courts rul
ed that because he was arrested I'M
der martial law only the governor
could order his release. This the gov
ernOr withheld until New Years day
Bell had been held in jail 40 days
also without charges. He was jaileC
immediatel'' after the COlumbine mas
Sacre.
Jubilee celebrations are being hell
in the northern fields by the miner
over the release of Palmer and Bell
the last victims of the militia's ter
rorism. However, 100 strikers ar
still held in Jail, in the south, and 8
have been convicted of framed va
grancy charges. II were acquitted.
The miners are standing firm, con
fident of winning the greatest vic
tory in Colorado's long and blood
industrial history.
Attorney Vincent's admission to tn
industrial commission confirms state
ments of miners witnesses brandin
condition in northern mines as inhu
man and, it is believed, will have
tremendous effect in favor of tn
workers on the forthcoming decisio
of the commission. His statemer
came on the heels of a previous state
ment by George L. Nye, attorney fC
a group of northern operators,
which he refused to recognize that
controversy existed between mine
and operators and stated that oper
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1928-01-13

tors he represented were not parties
to the strike.
Hitting this contention, Vincent de-
clared: "Refusal to recognize the ex-
istence of a strike in the face of con-
ditions now prevailing in Colorado IS
a policy which may lead the public
to conclude that the industry is in
capable of managing its own affairs.
To say there is no strike is idle. There
is not onlv a strike but it has called
out the military forces of the state.
1t is significant that the industrial
commission, now holding the hearing
itself denied there was a strike until
the hearing was Standardization the
Columbine massacre.
''It is common knowledge that the
miners generally do not have check
weighmen nor inspection committees,
Vincent said, discussing charges Of
the miners that mining laws were vi
plated. The miners right to have the
! law enforced ought not to be subjec
for debate even, he declared. Law
enforcement was one of the chief de
mands of the strikers.
Admission of the necessity for rec
IGNITION of the workers organization
is also contained in the Rocky Noun
tain Fuel Co. attorneys statement.
