GREEKS BLAMED FOR
BATTLE OF LUDLOW
I Denver. Absolute responsibility for
the fatal battle of Ludlow, Monday,
April 20, waa placed on the Greeks of
tho strikers' colony at Ludlow by the
military board of the Colorado Na
tional Goard.
None of the striker testified at the
inquiry, their attorney declining to
give any Information on the ground
that the Inquiry was not publicly con
ducted. The board found that the "remote"
cause of this, as well as all other bat
tles, lies with the coal operators, who
established in an American Industrial
community a numerous class of igno
rant, lawless and savage South Eu
ropean peasants. The underlying
cause was the presence, near Ludlow,
In dally contact, of three discordant
elements strikers, soldiers and mine
guards all armed and fostering an In
creasing deadly hatred.
The Immediate cause of the battle
was an attack upon the soldiers by the
Greek Inhabitants of the tent colony
who misinterpreted a movement of
troops on a neighboring hill.
Militia or Guard Accused.
Trinidad, Colo, The fire which de
stroyed the Ludlow tent colony on the
night of April 20, causing the deaths
of 13 women and children, was started
by militiamen or mine guards, or both,
according to the verdict rendered by
tha coroner's Jury.

Washington. The war spirit Is
(lumbering In congrers. Unless there
are unlooked-for Mexican develop
ments during the present week both
senate and house will turn attention
to subjects less spectacular than talk
of Invasion.
The senate promises to be busy
with debate on the bill to repeal the
tolls exemption clause of the Panama
Canal act. The house Is expected to
dispose of the naval appropriation bill,
provide In It for two battleships, as
the administration has requested, pass
the diplomatic and consular bill and
possibly reach the anti trust bill.
Prolonged Session Feared.
Member of the house and senators
whose terms are drawing to ft close
are becoming uneasy over the compli
cations that have arisen In congress
threatening to prolong the session In
definitely. The fear Is general that
little opportunity will be afforded for
campaigning this fall. In fact, there
are a few senators who begin to fear
that the session may drag out through
the fall and merge Into the regular
session In December. This extreme
view, however, Is not generally held.
It Is evident, however, that unless
the president Is willing to surrender
ft part of bis legislative program, the
session will continue well into the
late summer or fall.
Appropriation Bills Behind Schedule.
First congress must pass the ap
propriation bills, to keep the wheels
of government revolving. This part
of the program la way behind schedule
especially in the senate, and so many
other questions are arising, from time
to time, that the appropriation bills
are being postponed Indefinitely.
After the appropriation bills comes
; the Panama Canal tolls repeal legis
lation, and this Is likely to occupy
the senate six weeks or more, unless
the administration forces night ses
sions. When the canal tolls question Is
disposed of, the president will insist,
he says, on the passage of the anti
trust bills which form an important
purt of his program, and here again
the senate bus a topic that will re
quire six weeki or two months for full
and thorough discussion.
Trust Program In House Made Up.
The anti trust legislative program
In the house was made up, when the
Judiciary committee ordered favorably
reported Its omnibus bill designed to
cover the administration recommenda
tions, and Chairman Clayton intro
duced a resolution proposing one of
the most Ironclad rules on record to
rush the measure through.
The bill Is mainly the same as when
Introduced less than a month ago as
ft revised combination of separate bills
on holding companies, Interlocking di
rectorates, etc.
The house rules committee contem
plates 16 hours of general debate, five
minute speeches on any Item, but re
stricted In the total to a maximum of
four hours an unusual limitation
the bill then to be voted upon without
Intervening motions.
Uttla Change In Labor Section.
The so-called labor section is
changed but little. It declares that
"nothing In the anti trust laws shall
be construed as forbidding existence
and operation of fraternal, labor, con
sumers', agricultural or horticultural
organisations, orders or associations
Instituted for purposes of mutual help
and not having capital stock or con
ducted for profit, or to forbid or re
strain Individual members of such or
ganizations from carrying out the le
gitimate objects thereof."
National Capital Brevities.
President Wilson ordered the com
plete disarmament of all civilians in
the Colorado strike districts.
The senate defeated the bill of Sen
ator McCumber providing for federal
Inspection and grading of grain, and
designed to obtain uniformity and
classification of grain.
The public building commission, In
Its report to congress, urges the cre
ation of a federal bureau to have com
plete charge of the erection of all
public buildings In the country. A
stnndard plan Bulted to meet the needs
of the various communities, was rec
ommended. In anticipation that President Wil
son will spend much of the summer
In Washington, a large tent has been
erected In the flower garden Just
south of tho White House, where it
Is expected the president will transact
much of his business during hot days.
The administrations leaders won an
other point in the fight for repeal of
free Fanama canal tolls when the sen
ate canals committee by a vote of S
to 6 ordered the house bill favoring
the repeal clause reported to the sen
ate. The senators urged an addition
al clause asserting American right
over the canal.

beauty. It takes U jrWVjLfN to tha hills like a
duck takee to water I j The price ia only
