Trouble over the surrender of arms In tho striking miners- hands was threat ened In tho Colorado coal fields. That the strikers suspected tho owners planned to operate their mints with negro and apancse em ployes, protected by federal troops, was plainly Intimated In a telegram sent by Sccrcary William Hlckey, of the Colorado Federation nf Labor, to Congressman Keating In Washington. Union leaders hero agreed that their rifles were the strikers' Indi vidual property and If they declined to surrender them there was no way In which tho leaders could compel them to do so. Tboy did say, how. ever, that they would advlio dis armament. Governor Amnions also announced that Captain Dorn, commanding tho militiamen who reached Oak creek last night, had reported to him that conditions were bad and ho reared an outbreak. "It is Impossible to convince the striking miners that tboy will get a square deal." telegraphed Secretary of the State Federation of Labor Wil liam Hlckey to Congressman Keating In Washington today, "with the coal companies Importing negroes and Japanese under armed guard. Wo take this to mean they have tho pro tection of tho federal troops." Officials of tho miners' organiza tion did not try to conceal their anx iety to know whether tho owners were to bo permitted to operate tho mines with regulars guarding thorn. Attorney General Farrar ruled that Governor Amnions' call tor a special session of the legislature re stricted the lawmakers to considera tion of an appropriation to pay tho jullltia and of tho constitutional amendments which the call sug gested. Accordingly ten of tho legislatures petitioned tho governor to extend the call's scope so as to permit passage of a bill regulating tho leasing and mining of tho stato's coal lands.
