THE COLORADO STRIKE
FEDERAL TROOPS SENT. >
Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. ■ NEW YORK, April 28. The fighting at Boulder (Colorado) resulted m another death and many wounded around the neighborhood. Women and children who had taken refuge in the Hccla mine enclosure remained during the whole day lying on the floors of their homes in order to avoid the bullets which were poured into the mine. The strikers are entrenched on every hill preparing for the arrival of State troops. The citizens have organised a volunteer force to endeavor to dislodge the strikers. Owing to the absolute paralysis of the State authorities, President Wilson has allowed the despatch of Federal troops, stipulating that they shall only be used for the actual restoration of order. WHAT THE WAR IS OVER. UNIONISM VERSUS NON-UNIONISM. NEW YORK, April 28. Mr J. D. Rockefeller states that if the strikers have any grievance the company's officials are ready to meet them in a reasonable spirit. He also refers to the numerous concessions made to the employees from time to time. The unionisation of the mine, however, would not be tolerated for a single instant. Only 10 per cent, of the employees are actually unionists.
